Yes, in America, even our hobos are fat.

BEER and WINE

Met my wife on plentyoffish.com or pof.com We were engaged in 10 months after meeting and are perfect for each other. POF is totally free.

All in moderation.

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm reposting this one in motivation and support to see if I could get more responses. I would think I can't be the only one who deals with this phenomenon.

Here's the plan... go to your nearest animal shelter and adopt a puppy. Name it something cool, like "spike" or "david hasselhoff", and then see if you can keep up with its energy. By that I mean, its going to be a playful and ornery little puppy that doesn't stop.... the only thing that calms it down is lots of exercise.…

Everyone seems to have some really good advice and support, please keep the ideas coming! Friend me if you like!

I LOVE to cover the chicken breast in my favorite medium salsa and then sprinkle some parmesan cheese on it. Bake it until the chicken is all the way done (~180°F) and serve with brown rice (1/2 cup uncooked). YUM! About 600 cals makes it a good dinner idea. To shave off 100 cal you can do 1/4 cup brown rice and 1/4 can of…

With all do respect, its probably really easy to NOT weigh yourself when you have about 30 defined ab muscles. On the other hand, when you measure yourself where do you take your measurements, how often, and whats a significant change versus a normal fluctuation.

Thanks for the replies! I opted for a couple 50 cal fudge bars.... there isn't much too them, but they DO hit the spot.

Here is my upper body routine... everything is 3 sets of 12 reps with only a 30 second break in between dumbbell bench alternating biceps curls lat pull downs triceps skull crushers dumbbell chest flies seated rows straight bar curls triceps push downs (machine) olympic bar shoulder press abs

Technically it should be a crash diet. I think for ladies 1200 is the minimum cut-off. I always eat back my calories, but hey, if you aren't hungry why force it? (Im usually hungry! hehe)

Hey you should totally make CAESAR SALAD DRESSING. YUM! and low cal :)

YEah I usually cut it in half short ways, then bake a 375 for 45 minutes. It IS delicious, but packed with fiber so it makes you gassy haha. It is good stuff, and just as cheap as spaghetti.

I always wondered about that too, whether or not the elliptical estimate is right. After lots of research and calculating I found the elliptical to be more accurate than MFP. Its all relative.

buffalo wings and beer. I like a side of more beer too.

My doctor just told me I'm fat and need to not be fat. But I knew about this site before he was a prick. Welcome!

LOL

260lb! You or the fish?! NICE FISH!

Loud chewing/lip-smacking. Makes me nuts. Also, people that drag their feet.

I just cut it right down the middle, get rid of the seeds that I can and place it on a non-stick or PAM sprayed baking sheet, 45 minutes at 375°F. When its done give it a good 10-20 minutes to cool (its mostly water like a potato! OUCH!). Then take a fork and scoop out the initial layer (I usually get rid of this gooey…

I've been at it for 3 weeks now, lost about 5 lbs. Long ways to go.

You have to keep your head up! Put it past you and get back to the life you WANT to live.

These are good ideas to dump it back out and measure it. I do this with my salad dressing. Sometimes there is a whole tbsp or 2 in the bottom.... guess I like is well dressed :)

I used to have a variety of cologne that I liked to wear, but then I moved to the big city and starting working with other people that wear far too much or a non-agreeing scent. So strong in fact that I did not have to SEE that they were present at work, but I knew they had been in a room within the last few minutes. For…

they have a grilled chicken sandwhich, while its around 500 cals, its probably the only thing on the menu that's decent.

OMG I had a terrible last weekend for calories, and felt horrible yesterday. Here are my do's and don'ts the following day... - DON'T beat yourself up or let it depress you, this could lead to more failures, get back on the wagon ASAP - DON'T try to make up for the calories today, it just swings your appetite and you may…

I usually just have to add the ingredients 'to taste', because I don't really have a set measured recipe.... BUT its pretty easy and fun to cut up the veggies diced tomatoes fresh cilantro chopped, probably a handfull? this varies depending on how many tomatoes you use red onion (or yellow if you aren't crazy about red)…

WOW! Really great job. Don't stop, it's working!

I appreciate your help, don't get me wrong. thanks.
