  • If you're afraid you can't stop after the one or two drinks you've budgeted yourself for a night out then you might have bigger problems then calorie goals. Extend your sobriety permanently if need be. Also, you're eating meal replacements that are several years old? Toss them and eat the loss. They weren't good for you to…
  • I don't know, after hearing him so put off about some temporary stress related weight, if I'd ever want to be pregnant in that relationship. Your life is turbulent right now and instead of trying to understand or work with you to make it better he's putting additional stress on you. If your commute is three hours maybe…
  • Super sensitive much? Other than some gibberish in the topic, I don't see anything about her bashing her coworkers. She's just discussing her feelings.
  • RICE first and foremost. Then when and if you're feeling better make sure you've got decent running shoes. If you picked it up at Target it's not a decent running shoe. You can also start switching out running days with some time on an eliptical -- it's still good cardio and it is MUCH easier on your knees. You get your…
  • Aww you have an adorable figure. You look great in your jeans!
  • Definitely not both! They're monitoring the same body doing the same excercises, so doubling up would be logging the same thing twice. The HRM is more accurate for logging specific burn. Your bodymedia logs all movement, most of which will me included in your origional settings of sedentary (or lightly active etc). HRM is…
  • It's just processes a programed equation when you hit the button. Unfortunately, MFP doesn't provide superfoodnannies. Hopefully it's not too triggering for people with eating disorders.
  • You're welcome! Yeah, I totally didn't know what damage I was doing before that website. It really puts things into prospective.
  • You're still going to get a lot of differing opinions because what works for some people doesn't work for others etc etc. Here's how I look at it. 1400 is my goal on days I do not go to the gym... and on days I do go to the gym? It's probably still my goal, but I give myself a little more leeway. If I want another piece of…
  • First of all, he's an a-hole. If there's any justice something on him will shrivel up to a toothpick size before falling off. Secondly, you can't spot reduce. You have to lose weight the same way you'd lose it if your weight was evenly distributed. Slowly, one pound at a time. You can do some excercises to strengthen your…
  • Hilary Duff herself has said she was too thin at that point in her life, that it took the mother of one of her young fans asking if they were feeding her enough to make her really look at her body. Afterwards she gained weight slowly, mostly muscle etc... so if you're modeling yourself after Hillary Duff... take her…
  • The person who said 3500 is right. What you want is a 500 calorie a day deficet and one pound per week. It's healthy, reasonable weight loss. Be happy with your pound and a half. You're not going to keep the weight off trying to drop Biggest Loser like numbers on the weekly.
  • This didn't happen to me, happened to my gym buddy. Her friend told her to stop losing weight or she'd lose her boobs... Ummm she's DDDD. We had a good laugh about it. She's lost band sizes but nothing in the cup. She'd consider herself lucky if she went down two cup sizes gradually over the next six months or so. People…
  • $10 for 30 minutes with a trainer is not bad... my gym charges like 50 bucks for 35 minutes... see how often I get a trainer.
  • Clothes! Not just cheap temporary clothes. Get a pair of jeans you feel like you rock in. Events, especially ones with an emphasis on your new lifestyle. I don't know what they do in the UK, but there are a lot of fun 5ks here. Color Run, Zombie Run, etc. It doesn't have to be a health emphasis though. Theaters, concerts,…
  • I loled. *high five*
  • Wish I could like a comment.
  • Once again from the top, for the troll whose mother did not cover this: People are people. We need to treat each other with a basic level of respect and dignity regardless of physical appearance.
  • I'm fine with not vanity sizing. A number is a number. But stop making allowances on public transport? You mean seats big enough to accomodate people who need a place to sit. Sorry, that's straight up sizism. You're not human enough to deserve a seat if your *kitten* is a certain size? **** that ****. People are people. We…
  • What a dramatic, amazing difference, especially with your running number on the front. Congratulations. :)
  • 5'6 200ish lbs. About a size 12. I'm an hourglass which I think has almost as much to do with my jean size as my weight does.
  • Love my George Foreman. When I started getting serious about eating healthier I bought one and a steamer. I pick up packs of salmon burgers from Costco and grill two of them to take with me for lunch, along with some steamed or baked vegetables... I did a steak last week. It's not exactly like grilling it outside, but I…
  • You sound like you may be a bit addicted. It might be best to just drop it and see how you feel in a few weeks. Going back to it right after resolving to kick the habit isn't good for you. I get what people are saying about everything in moderation, but since you started your day with it and had rituals around it etc and…
  • Maybe update your anniversary tradition to reflect the change in your lifestyle? Pick a restaurant with more options for you, vet the menu online, and have fun. Just because you always did something doesn't mean you have to keep doing it.
  • Ummm that was AMAZING. I'm going to use that on someone I know...
  • Ummmm Skinny Girl margaritas or you might be blowing a lot more than 1200 calories on your meal and multiple drinks. If you can't get an SGM it might be time to start investigating other alcoholic drinks. Remember, you don't just pay for alcohol in calorie count. It slowers your metabolism for a period of time after so…
  • Time to get a work out buddy! Find a friend who will go with you, male or female, just someone you trust and feel safer with. You can do something they enjoy in exchange for an hour of their time a few nights a week. Once you're a regular there I bet you'll feel comfortable going without your friend eventually. You'll feel…
