I too eat my steak dripping with blood! Cut off the horns, slap it on the *kitten* and send it out on a plate lol. I like sushi too, but stay away from it here, as there are no real reputable sushi places to eat at. Raw eggs....I don't think I would have the guts to try it lol. I really don't like eggs in general(my tastes…

Yes, there are ways to state facts without being rude, but don't complain of other's rudeness when your being just as rude.

Actually, she did ask for it when she posted this. Maybe not the harshness in general, but how can she expect everyone to be all peaches and cream? Not everyone has the same opinion or ways that they approach things. If honesty is harsh, then why do we suggest that people tell the truth instead of lying? I don't think the…

I do understand where you are coming from, If I didn't want to see her succeed I would not be sitting here stalking this page and trying to help her. I have viewed her diary more than once, and it shows that she isn't taking the right steps to improve her weight loss. I know it is a HUGE struggle to stop eating all those…

I net between 800-1200 calories. My BMR is 1347 and my TDEE is 2017. I eat around 1500 calories a day. I still don't quite understand the Net calories, I'm really really new at this, but I have someone on MFP who has been amazing motivation and help when it comes to the actual educational process. To me living healthy and…

I have one very small splurge daily, which amounts to an 8oz glass of juice. For me it helps cut the sugar and sweet tooth craving. I also only drink the juice if I have already had my 8 glasses of water, it's my little reward for drinking water. I used to NEVER drink water, besides what was in my coffee or tea, so if I…

I may not have lived her life, but pretty damn close. I was(still am) overweight. I suffered from severe depression, and even had myself admitted into a Psychiatric hospital because of it. I am an overweight woman who CHOSE this path for herself. I chose this. I chose to have 5 kids, I chose to over eat, I chose not to…

I'm a smoker too...trying to get through the first round of Insanity. I do okay, but I do have to take my own timed breaks as I get winded too, not only do I feel it's because i'm a smoker, but I have lived a pretty sedentary life for the past ohh...6 years. I have quit smoking twice, I quit when I was pregnant with my…

I'm getting a pyle in pink with a chest strap and watch for $28.00 on Ebay. Don't know whether it's junk or not, but it's cheap enough for me to buy and find out. As of now with planning a wedding, kids going back to school, and buying a house, I really can not afford a Polar. I have yet to find any under $90.00 even on…

My fiancee`'s ex wife kept his last name, she said it was for the children, which is fine, but her actions definitely show other wise as I feel she is a lousy mother to begin with(wont get into details). I don't, in fact from the ex's perspective...she has NO problems going through 3-4 men a week or however often it is. So…

The only thing that can honestly make it worse, is her not seeking the professional help that she seems to desperately need. It would not be us or our comments necessarily making it worse, but if she sits there and does nothing about it, it is only her own fault. Her weight is causing the depression, the fact that she…

I was browsing your diary, and it appears to me, that you are simply NOT eating right. There was one day where you had a Jelly doughnut as a snack....that doughnut had MORE calories than your entire lunch did. All your snacks are unhealthy, from ice cream, to soda and doughnuts. Mcdonalds for breakfast??!!!! How do you…

Bumping to read later!!! Much longer than I expected ;)

First off you don't have to eat back your exercise calories. I don't and I know many others don't either. I'm not quite as heavy as you are, but nonetheless I am still obese. You have one of two choices in this matter...put on your big girl panties and try harder, or live the way you have been living for the rest of your…

I think Walmart receives certain produce/products from local farmers. I don't see a family of 4 trying to consume over 100 acres of corn, soy, or anything for that matter...I know here...our corn in Walmart does come from some of the local farmers, not all of the corn does, but a lot of it does. I used to work there, and I…

I live in Iowa....Pretty much Corn freaking central. I can tell you that organic does not necessarily mean organic. If you want true organic fruits and vegetables, grow your own...even then it doesn't mean that it is organic. A lot of people with their own gardens use soil such as miracle grow, that has a TON of chemicals…

You can also look on Ebay. They have a Pyle brand that looks to be fairly decent, comes in pink and is only $28.00. I have been looking into getting one of these.

I too love my fresh fruit, and I too go over my sugar limits. I don't worry to much about it as a previous poster said, it's all natural sugar, it isn't sugar that has been added for flavor or sweetness. You can count it if you want, but I sure don't. Although I do limit my fruit intake so it isn't absurdly high, I only…

Not sure if this advice will help or not, BUT...this is what I do. I have removed ALL unhealthy snacks from my house, soda included. My snacking habits are so bad, that I have my children's snacks and my fiancee`'s snacks LOCKED away from my grasp. I also plan my meals the day before, I log them into my diet diary as my…

I have to reach about 100 calories less than you do, and I can manage to do that in a healthy fashion. My metabolism has me eating about every 3-4 hours. I have breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. As far as going over in your sugars, fats, and proteins, I would only worry about it if you were eating non healthy foods,…

I spend roughly 300-350 for 6 people. That's myself, my Fiancee` and 4 children under 10. Lots of fruits, veggies, local meats, not walmart meats, and LOADS of milk. I have to buy about 10 gallons of milk a week. I'm lactose so it's not me hogging it I swear!! lol

I really don't know what shape I am, except for ROUND lol I gain all my weight in my midsection. I have skinny arms, my thighs touch lol, a big rear and boobs. I was told I was an apple, but right now I feel like a marsh mellow! I guess we will see what shape I am once I can drop the 30lbs I need to drop! Good luck…

I just had lunch! I had a spring mix salad with 2T of thousand Island dressing, baby carrots and grapes.

I don't have any pictures yet, I'm 4'11 and 132lbs. I know that doesn't sound bad but like someone else said, on short people, every pound is seen. I carry ALL my weight in my belly. My heaviest was 180lbs when I was pregnant, and not pregnant my heaviest was 148lbs. I have carried 5 children, and trust me it shows lol.…

Thanks! It's a lot higher than my MFP TDEE but I will definitely stick to this and see how it goes. It sure beats just sitting at 132lbs and no real change. Would I be putting myself in any danger of keeping or gaining the weight if I cannot meet the 1600 calories every day? Sometimes I can only manage to get 1400. Thanks…

I was having the same issue. I used the above link to calculate my BF% and my TDEE but I suck at math, and because of that I feel pretty hopeless lol. I have consulted a few of my military friends, but they seem just as clueless on this as well. So I have been sticking with just eating 1200-1400 calories a day and doing my…

Thanks everyone! Looks like I will have to invest in a HRM soon! What do you guys log in under your exercises then here on MFP? Do you log it as just hard cardio? Or do you not log it at all?

Great Job!! I'm restarting my Insanity workouts tomorrow. I ended up with shin splints the first go round :( Good Luck in month 2!

I'm restarting Insanity on Monday. I got through week 3 of month one but gave up. I ended up with shin splints, and felt completely overwhelmed with the diet guide, life in general, and of course Pure Cardio killed me. I think I will switch those days with a different video that isn't to demanding at first. I'm a…

Sandy, Thanks! I know what's good for me and what is not, but sticking to it has been my problem lol. Insanity is well...insane! If I can't conquer it this time around, I may admit defeat and try a different workout program. I had to do something as the local gym just wasn't cutting it. And good for you!! It's hard these…
