Daniel Craig and Garrett Hedlund, at the same time. Then I kick them both out and spend the rest of the night in bed with Mila Kunis.

This.

this. i'm so sorry - i remember blocked ducts and they were awful :( hope you feel better soon.

This.

You look wonderful and happy! Grats!

I've always been completely miserable for at least the first 2-3 miles, and then I feel like I can run forever.

Daily! I eat dark chocolate chips and have one, *good* beer pretty much every day. Together they add up to 250c or less and I just factor it in to my day.

<3 this ^

I can only speak for myself, but I need to eat back almost all of my exercise calories. It may be due to the nature of the exercise, I'm not sure, but I practice Kung Fu pretty intensely. I simply wouldn't be capable of doing what I do without those calories. Oh, and please check your numbers against this:…

Don't be embarrassed - I have on my profile that one of the reasons I got on MFP is because I didn't want to go out and buy new jeans in a bigger size. Just be realistic about what you can lose in a reasonable and healthy way in 4 weeks. You can make a lot of progress and lose pounds and inches in that time, definitely,…

You are so right, but this is a hard lesson to learn (about weight ranges). It took me taking Clenbuterol a decade ago and dropping to 118 lbs *and looking like a skeleton* for me to realize that I am the same clothing size at 130lbs that some women are at 115lbs.

Why do you only have a few weeks to lose the weight? I'm sure it took more than a few weeks to put on. Realistic goals are Rule #1.

Thanks for posting that guideline. it is a good reminder for those of us who are athletes and only have a little to lose that we can not reasonably and healthily lose 2+ lbs per week. Oh, that way madness lies.

I eat back almost all of mine - i have to. On a day when I burn off 1000 calories doing Kung Fu, getting by on 1200-1500 would make me pass out. But that's just me.

All you CoffeeMate people - why you would choose the ingredients in CoffeeMate as a "healthier" alternative to a little dairy or soy/almond/rice? It sure doesn't taste better. I enjoy the hell out of my coffee with a little whole milk, I just log it and keep it at one cup. Maybe cut out the sugar, first, and then just…

Can you be "hot" at almost 41? I made time for exercise by deciding my husband, son, and I would all learn Kung Fu together. Best decision I've made in a long time - we get crazy fit, spend time together, and learn something cool all at once.

I say plan on logging what you eat...no matter what it is. It will be a lesson in what you choose and what the nutritional value is (or isn't). I find that if I log even when I am definitely OFF the wagon it helps me to stay honest and realistic and in touch with my choices. If you're going to do MFP be be accountable.…

Well put. Same.

Same. I'm in Seattle and have a weakness for all the great local IPA's. I just fit my beer calories into my day. Plus, a little dark chocolate.

"Only" one inch in your waist? Honey, you LOST AN INCH FROM YOUR WAIST. That's fantastic! That's progress!

Waiting for Mists of Pandaria. Playing League of Legends and TF2 in the meantime.

Great post, thanks for all your work.

I eat real food, drink a beer after work, and have chocolate every day. And I'm losing weight. request sent!

I posted this to my friends yesterday - reposting it here: I wanted to share something that has made this all a little easier for me. I used this post: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 and came up with the number of calories I shoot for every day to lose weight…

I'm 40, and 5' 5.5" and aiming for 127lbs. I'm smallish framed, athletic, small on top and medium on bottom (i wear 4's or 6's now) and this is a weight my doctor approves of and that I have been able to sustain in the past. I'm at 137 now...10 more to go! I'd like to fit in 27/32 Madewell jeans with no jumping or muffin…

Talk him into it. My husband getting a vasectomy was the BEST THING EVER. If I could make those letters a lot bigger, I would. Did I mention it was the best thing ever?

You're beautiful. It took me years to break little makeup habits, one at a time. In the end, not a single person ever seemed to notice one way or the other. I still prefer to have a little mascara on when I leave the house, but I'm not terrified and ashamed to go outside with a totally naked face. The more you do it, the…

Aw, you're sweet. I'm almost 41.

24!

Honestly, I was just responding to the one meal thing. I was at work and couldn't put the sound on :P Watching it now and it's pretty awful....
