Wow, she is certainly plus sized. Perhaps her bathing suit is misleading, I wouldn't object to seeing some photos of her without anything on to be able to more accurately define her bf%. ;-)

-13 in Southeast Michigan this morning, wind chill of -38.

Grilled Chicken Wraps. When we have them at home we wrap them in lettuce, but quite often I will grab one from McDonalds @400 Calories it is a delicious and filling meal.

A mommy assistant. As a father of two young children ages 1 month and 19 months, it would be nice to have someone that could show up for a couple of hours every day, or every other day, and do (or help with) anything and everything that needs to be done, plus it would be a benefit to my wife to have another adult to speak…

Walk, then walk some more, finally walk some more. Save the DVD's for when its raining, snowing, or so miserably hot that it is dangerous to go out for a walk, in the meantime...walk and drink as much water as you can possibly drink, and then drink some more water. It is free to walk, and free to drink water..It is all I…

My wife and I just had our 2nd child (July 3rd), and our 1st is 18 months old. Of course I added moving from Florida to Michigan (in April), being without a Job (until the end of June), living with her parents (oh what a joy to cram a family of 4 and two dogs into a home that wasn't big enough for the two that lived their…

This for the sore muscles, and Congratulations!! That is quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations! The first time I went to downsize I took my toddler with me to K-Mart and had no idea what size to even try. I had been in a size 56, so I grabbed a 50, 52, and a 54...the size 50 fit and I was quite happy about it and that made my toddler quite happy so we literally danced in the changing room. I am sure…

I read the article, and every response up to this point, and I don't agree with the author on a few points. "Oh yeah, cardio alone is also ineffective at weight loss. Tack on a diet of only low-sodium foods (which doesn’t really do anything by the way) and you have a whole lot of pain and not much reward." Well, Cardio is…

You probably won't either. Those occurrences are pulled and the violators are warned/suspended/and then banned for repeat occasions. So you will not be able to see anything that shows an open and shut case of it, unless someone has taken a screenshot before the MODs get to it.

I agree, when I first came to the forums, just a few months ago, I was amazed that the vast majority of posters seemed to be unsupporting and preachy. I mean I thought the reason people were on a fitness site were to be fit and to encourage fitness. It seems there are some helpful individuals, with great intentions, who…

Let me get this straight, I am a walker, walking is all I have ever done and currently do, I walk a pretty regular 3 MPH pace. So, if I understand what you are stating, I will ("should") be more successful at burning Fat by having walks that last longer than 20 minutes? So walking 5 miles a day in 1 mile intervals taking…

TMI = Too Much Information TT = Thong Thursday TGIF = Getting Drunk Tonight Is 1000 too low = Please pay me some attention I am feeling neglected so I decided to post the most ridiculous topic I could think of Open Diary? = Trying to start a long drawn out debate that leads nowhere, reference Is 1000 too low

Regardless of the financial situation of the male, he should pay for the date. In fact he should pay for all the dates. If this relationship turns into marriage he will either A) Join their funds together to pay for everything they do or obtain -or- B) Pay for everything for as long as they are married. So whats the big…

I go the other way, I set my info to sedentary and then count everything...all 13,000 of those steps.

I am saddened to be the one to tell you, but I feel someone should. Common Sense passed away, I did save the Obituary... Obituary Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in…

It is probably because you have adjusted your normal food intake in the morning with your Green Tea. If you increase your breakfast, that will probably resolve the issue (if you want to continue to drink Green Tea).

This topic should be banned. It comes up at least once a week, and you always get the same responses. On one side of the fence are the "it's none of your business what I eat" and on the other side of the fence it's "I have nothing to hide". I delete any friend who does not have an open diary, not because I want to inspect…

"Adipex-P may impair your thinking", straight off the side effects list; obviously they were serious.

Let me start with a reference to a discussion I had not to long ago with my sister. My sister asked me how I was able to "simply quit smoking after 26 years". I told her that it really was not that difficult for me, I simply decided that it was what I was going to do and then eliminated it as an option. Of course, I got…

"No Problem" When someone says "Thank You" the appropriate response is "You Are Welcome", the inappropriate response is "No Problem". When someone asks for something... "Will you hand me the Bryers All Natural Double Fudge Ice Cream Gallon Canister" the appropriate response is "Yes", or "Certainly", or even "Um, I think…

I have not been on schedule for the whole month of February. According to my last recorded weigh in on Feb 2nd, and my weigh in on Friday March 1st..I lost 11.6 pounds. :-)

Seems to be working, I see you now have 18 female friends.

I believe that ignorance is bliss, and there are some very happy people responding to this thread. I also happen to be an American, and considering some of the alternatives I am glad to live in the United States of America. I do not approve of everything that my country does, or has done, but I do appreciate the fact that…

Breaking the trust I place in you, I can not be in any relationship if I do not whole heartily trust the individual.

It really is not that difficult to understand, if you eat less than your body burns then you will lose weight. If you are not losing weight, then you are not eating less than your body is burning. That could be because you are underestimating your caloric intake or because you are overestimating your calorie burn, or a…

I stay within my goals, but sometimes I do exchange reasonably healthy choices for those that are just too tasty to pass up and on those occasions I go with "I will just have to walk a bit further today".

I unfriend anyone who does not have it open, food and exercise is the entire purpose of this site so if I can't see yours then how can I possibly offer any true advice, support, or critique.

Of course there are more guys on here, to test the theory put up a pic of a young attractive nearly naked female as your profile pic and then go post in the forum that you are new and looking for friends...you will have 100 friend requests before the day is over.

Yes it is accurate.
