I turn 42 next month... I've done this a few times, got off track again, so back in swing for Spring! I'm doing 10 - 20lb mini goals, and measuring so I don't get bogged down by the numbers, tho' ultimately I want to lose 50 lbs and be strong, carry more muscle. I learned that at 170lb but muscular was far more comfortable…

I'm IN. Definitely holding me back... and I too enjoy the daily glasses of wine. I have to admit I started attempting back a month ago and didn't go very far... hopefully with a supportive group with same end goal I can do better. Drinking those calories away, not good! I've done month long detoxes before and remember…

Starting weight: 231.4 Goal weight: 170 Current weight: 215.9 Total weight lost: 15.5 This week's successes: Down two pounds. Did not give in…

Tassimo Gevalia House Blend - I scour the city for sales and buy large quantities when on sale. I take a half cream in it (10% cream not the 18%) I drink 2 cups per day. Costs about $1.30 a day. To treat myself, there's a coffee shop in town that makes a Swiss Drip... strong and delicious. If I brew coffee, I buy Kicking…

**Sigh** Another confession.... despite having gorged myself last night... now I want this^^

Last night was Paint Night hosted by a local pub/eatery.... I confess that last night while waiting for my friend to join me, I ordered popcorn shrimp for us to share once she arrived. I ate them all. Then I ordered a Quesadilla and ate half of it, but had the rest packed up to go for lunch today... I then drank 4 giant…

I'm at 1400 calories right now and it's working for me - 5'6 and started at 231, now 221. I eat more on exercise days, but try to only eat back about half my exercise cals. I average about a pound per week, 1.5 when I stick to the 1400 without overages or cheat days... those bring my average down.

I've plateaued and would love to have more friends that are posting to MFP more regularly - get amped up and motivated together. I'm in a rut.
-
Getting back at it... need people that are active in MFP! Update status', and have things to say!!
-
Feel free to add me... and others who wish. My news feed has been pretty quiet, it would be nice to have some people that post more. I just turned 40 ... looking to lose 40 - 50 lb. Typically I follow IIFYM. I had best results when I focused on strength, I got pretty lazy over winter and I've been trying to up my activity…

It's because boiling chicken disgusting. Never do that again. Spray a little coconut oil in a pan and cook it that way, or bake it/roast it... and for the love of god, throw some lemon zest or Italian herbs on it. No one has to eat flavorless food just to lose weight.

Lunch out. I went to the gym instead. B)
-
I trail ride, and always have the ear buds in. When I have to ride on the streets to my house from the trails I simply turn the music down a bit.

10, 000 X This ^^ I got half way through reading OPs post, and was just so very stricken with how much self-body shaming was going on. Like, what in the actual eff?? In what world is the girl in the pic "chub"? Stop listening to your family OP, they are clearly deluded.
-
Not all people go to the gym to lose weight.

This X 10000 - I've seen 'healthy' granola based cereal with just as much sugar etc. I'm so incredibly sick of all the vilification of foods, food groups, brands of food etc. Bottom line, it's not the cereal company's business to make smart decisions for what goes into Children's bellies. It's parents. Also, as an Adult,…

In MFP land... when people use the word "journey" to describe their weight loss and nutrition plans. It's not an effing journey. It's merely a plan to not eat your face off, and hopefully move your ar$e off the couch more often. Also, and perhaps most importantly... people who state that they are trying to "loose weight" -…
-
My thoughts as well. OP also doesn't actually know what IIFYM really is. I'm left annoyed that I even clicked on this self-absorbed, rubbish post. I guess I'll just go back to my regular day of enjoying all spectrums of food, not eating the exact replica of the day before, and the day before that, and the day before…
-
Oooh good to know... I have been worried about that myself.
-
Exactly! Plus, as far as "boasting" about exercise... it's keeping momentum, if a person receives positive feedback on exercise, they are pumped, and motivated to keep it up. No one ever gives negative feedback on exercise. They sure like to jump all over someone if they god-forbid ever eat a donut tho'... the negative…

Best quote I ever read said "Do not reward yourself with food, you are not a dog." For some reason that did it. lol. Rewarding with clothing works better.

This thread made my day. Thank you. I miss this comic so much. I have one of the books and routinely go through it again and again. :)

This pretty much said it all.

I too frequently, tho' not always do Taco Tuesday. I switch it up. I rarely use ground meat tho' - usually sliced steak, or sliced grilled chicken, sauteed garlic shrimp, or my favourite: hallibut. (I cube the hallibut, roll it in eggwash, dip in panko crumbs with Greek Seasoning, and pan fry in a little bit of extra…

Ummmmm waaaaaaaay back in the day when I was a virgin and then had sex for the first time I was MASSIVELY dissapointed. I don't know anyone that could say that it was what they were expecting. lol. Hollywood hype has ruined what real sex is so when you do it for the first time (before figuring out stuff, trying new things…
