Damn ... I just finished clipping my left nostril hair and read this thread ... now I am torn ..... Do I clip the right one or walk around looking like I just snorted a wookie?

There is no "right age" because it is different for everyone .. Having said that, the right age is when you find the person you can spend the rest of your life with. It's not a race to the alter (unless you are on reality TV), but a commitment for life.

S'mores bars: Don't worry about the marshmallows in these - they only contribute a few calories. If they bother you that much leave them out...they're still good. Premise - carbs from oats, good protein, good taste... Ingredients: 8 scoops chocolate whey protein powder 2 cups rolled oats 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs 1/4…

No Bake Protein Bar 5 tbsp natural peanut butter / almond butter (chunky or smooth) (SUB PB2 for even lower numbers) ½ cup dry oat meal or whole grain hot cereal (uncooked) ½ cup oat flour (double the dry oats if you do not have oat flour) 6 scoops chocolate whey protein (approximately 132 grams worth of low-carb protein…

I have and use the Polar FT4 daily .. and I love it. I agree with the above poster .. use it for calories and HR and just skip the whole ZONES thing.

Started running / jogging in early June .. I am up to 11:19 seconds for a mile (5.3mph). I might could run a single mile faster, but that is average for the 3.5-3.75 miles I run.

so true .. and remember a diet signifies (to most) that there is an end where you can stop .. what you need to do is make a lifestyle change. For me, it was basically learning how to eat again .. correctly this time.

clean shaven .. people guess I am younger scruffy .. people guess I am younger, but not by as much.

Arctic Zero IS delicious .. I am a fan as well! I totally agree with your BF .... wait ......... I AM your BF :heart: :laugh:

really?? 2 women with water bottles or 2 fat guys in shorts who are already out of breath ... scares you? That's the exact point of the OPs post ... what times we live in when you can walk on a public sidewalk without having the police called.

SAME thing happened to me .. except: I was with my buddy (6'8" and about 450lbs and I was 6'0" and about 300 at the time) when the motorcycle cop pulls onto the sidewalk and "burps" his siren at us. I thought he was a friend of my buddy as he knows a lot of law enforcement people because he works at the casino, so when the…

That's just because you can now *SEE* my eyes. LOL (Yes, that was always the big joke .. I didn't have eyes) No, it does feel great and you're right .. people don't believe it's me when I show them the picture or even better is when I see someone who hasn't seen me since I lost the weight. Priceless.

I have the same one and I use it with EVERY workout! I love it!

Well baby .. it's not like I am overly proud to have been at that point. But posting them here may inspire someone else and let them see what can be done when you set your mind to it.

Before = 395 pounds After = 205

I agree with the others (and speak from personal experience as you can see) .. it will retract more than you think. Don't rush it .. give it time.

I was much like you in that I was thinking / feeling like everyone would be watching me. I can confirm that 99.9% of the people in the gym have their headphones on (or a boog / magazine) and are in their own world. I would suggest 9as others have) to start with a walk and build to running.

I eat 5 + meals a day and I try to eat ~50g PER meal of protein. I have lost 192lbs .. so I am going to say ........ false. There is no absolute number .. it varies by person, activity level and other factors.

Like others have said .. eat the calories throughout the day .. even if you head to the gym with negative calories ... your make them up. Because I have been doing my exercising with my HRM for long enough that I know how much I should hit .. or at worst how much i *have* to hit .. I eat the extra calories all throughout…

In a couple of days, I will make my 260th straight day logging my foods here. Since joining this site, I have lost an addition 50+ lbs to the 140 I had already lost. I say that because I totally understand what you mean when you say that something has to "click" for your motivation and stick-to-it-ism to hit and stay. No…

Profile pictures are of the REAL me.

Yes, I was stalked by this lovely woman .. and she captured me (and my heart) 5 months ago. :heart: :heart: Since we met on MFP and have a common goal of losing weight, when we are in a restaurant she doesn't look at me all crazy when I look something up in the MFP iPhone app like others might. Hell, she will ask me to…

My mother is on WW .. and it it was something she could do .. so it helped (NOT worked for) her. I have talked to her about the "rules" and this points things .. and I just don't get it aside from the fact that it makes you more accountable for what you eat. It doesn't teach you to eat properly .. but at least you have a…

I truly started on 10/3/2003 and it took 16 months to lose 140 lbs. I basically held that until I joined here on 11/2010 and since then, I have lost another 49 lbs for an overall total of 189 LBS.

My first MFP friend was Spacecase76. Since becoming friends on here .. we are now dating in real life as well. <3
