I don't know YOU. I am NOT having a go at YOU. This chick on the train though? She had issue with the fact that I stood in front of her, period. She was grasping at straws to make me back down. I didn't discriminate against her. I stood my ground when she acted an *kitten*. I walk at least 2 miles A DAY, by the way. I eat…

Ladies and gentlemen, my sister! Apparently it's genetic. Thank you all for relating!

This. Own your body. Safely do what you need to do to make it look how you want it to. For you, no one else. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

ergh! I've not been keeping up on week 2. will take push on tomorrow.

HA! great sense of humor! I'm adding you!

you got this.

Day 2 and I did the 16 in the program and another 8. All modified on knees. Ow but a good ow. A bearable ow. I can see getting through this and doing it again until I can do the unmodified ones. It's a good challenge.

500 calories a day seems reasonable but I get wanting to burn more. Am looking into getting a heart rate monitor to help make sure I'm hitting and maintaining my fat burning heart rate. I use the elliptical, treadmill, rowing machine, swim and walk for cardio. I started using weight machines and free weights about two…

Day 1: I'm column 1. Did 12 modified (knees). Hard to keep form. Not too horrible, though.

Ok, count me in! Doing pushups is part of my goal for the year. Got the app, gonna do the test and start today. Will do M, W, F.

Happily single! At least until Spring when all the ladies come out to play softball, anyways.

Lesbian, NYC, add me!

yep, I live with my dad and his wife and they eat crap. the pantry is half full of things I would not put in my grocery basket. don't wait to long to eat when you're hungry and try to have an easy, healthy go to snack or two or three available. nuts, fruit, yogurt...I recently discovered sugar free pudding. :heart: it!…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! No, seriously. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA! Ok, for real now. ahem. Fat shaming is not productive. Telling someone they're too skinny doesn't help either. The only thing that will motivate people to be healthy is knowledge. And don't just take what someone else tells you as Gospel, look things…

omg this thread made me hungry. gonna go eat breakfast.

Have you consulted a dr? If you are following a basic 500 calorie a day deficit (either by eating less calories and/or burning them off in exercise) and it's not working, maybe you should make sure there isn't a physical reason you aren't losing weight. Eating 4-6 200-400 calorie meals throughout the day should help boost…

Drink a glass of water before you have that coke. Add lemon, mint and/or ginger to regular water and drink that throughout the day instead. Try seltzer water with and without flavors. Drink unsweetened tea or coffee, iced or hot. If you really need to have a coke, get the small 100 calorie cans, add a ton of ice to it and…

I started at 281 and am down to 263. I wear 22 in pants but those are feeling loose. Haven't tried on a smaller size yet. 24/26 in shirts and those are starting to fit looser as well.

I've been on here for about 4 months and I've lost 18. I have a lot to lose but it took me awhile to gain it all, so I'm ok with slow and steady weight loss.

freaking mug cakes...they are horribly easy. pure, delicious evil in a mug.

Is this when you mix angel food cake mix with another cake mix? The supermarket near me didn't have angel food cake mix. grrrr....

argh, I'm totally at that time of the month and I want to eat pizza like nobody's business!! If I want cake, I have to make it, which means I have to have the ingredients on hand. I try really hard to not have the ingredients on hand. But yeah, sometimes you just have to go with it, have a serving and see how you feel.…

My gym has a sauna and steam room and the hottest water EVAR. So yeah, I head to the gym bc there is warmth there and it's too cold to run around outside. It's like 25 degrees here in NYC but the wind chill makes it feel lots colder.

I am not big boned. I am big assed. I have a lot of weight to lose, more than 100lbs. I could give a rat's furry behind what someone else thinks I should weigh. Lots of people have opinions and want to tell me how to eat and blah blah blah...it took me a lifetime to get this way, it's gonna take a minute to get it off. I'm…

I live with my 72 yo dad and his wife, who is diabetic. She does all the cooking and you'd think that would be a good thing. No. She eats CRAP. My section of the pantry is all whole grains, sweet potatoes and an avocado I'm ripening and the rest of it is white flour crackers, cookies, processed boxed mixes and chips.…

I turned 44 last December and have been on MFP for 4 mos. I'm making a lifestyle change here and looking to lose up to 80lbs this year. I'm doing it by eating less or non-processed food, portioning my food and exercising like a mofo. Endorphins are my friends.

this post was totally worth the read. thank you all. TACOS RULE!!!

My calorie intake is set for 1510 and I find that I'm under that for the most part. I eat foods high in fiber, lean meat, whole grains. I portion my food as much as possible and try to eat every 3-4 hours. it's ok to feel a little hungry but I try to not get over hungry. A bowl of oatmeal is going to keep me feeling full…

oatmeal with toasted almonds, cranberries, a little milk and maple syrup. I'll throw it in a container then in my bag and eat it after it's cooled off and congealed into a solid block. it works for me. and unicorns poop marshmallows and stars, so sure, why not?
