Um, my kids don't have that luxury of just not doing anything. They either contribute to the household, get decent grades ion school, or get a job. Period. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get busy. The longer you do it, the easier it becomes. Take it one day at a time.

Why didn't I think of that??? Good idea! THanks!

Okay, how about the flip side of the question... My oldest son has a dry fit shirt he wore under his football pads and no matter what I wash it in, it still has a slight funky stench to it... How do I get rid of the funk?

Um... do you use a long handled scrub brush to reach the fetus? Sorry, couldn't resist...

I plan on golfing sometime during the weekend and usually walk the course while pulling my clubs on a hand cart instead of riding, But even riding in a cart I get WELL over my daily goal of 10,000 steps and usually burn at least 400 calories over the course of 18 holes. I will also do most of my own cooking so I can…

PMS is a *****. But you can combat it. Drink LOTS of fluids to help flush out the bloat. cut WAY back on sodium a week before. And eat lots of fiber. It has helped me with my monthly bloating.

I don't like dial scales. If you move them from one place to another they can change. They just aren't as accurate as a decent digital. I picked up a digital on sale at Kohls this past spring for abotu $20. Wait till the spring sales when all the New Years Resolution diet aid stuff gets marked way down.

He came up behind me, slapped my rear and said "Dang, there's only half as much to smack now! You have gotten super skinny!" Masoganistic? Yeah, but he notices how hard I've worked to get to where I am and for that I'm grateful. I love my redneck.

You know what? After decades of having to shop in the plus size section, and never being able to wear the cute sexier styles from the average size sections of the stores.... I'm shopping where ever the heck I want and I'm rocking whatever I think looks good on me! To heck with what anyone else thinks! As long as I'm…

It is probly the sodium but depending on what you ate, it might also be the fat content as well, I would eat something light and fairly bland if you're hungry, like some toast with a little honey, and drink plenty of water to help flush out the chinese food.

YES!!!!! THIS x1000000000000000000 All these people who talk endlessly about macros and deficits, and this or that, just make my brain hurt. Work off more calories than you take in. Period.

I weigh it all together then weigh the bones and subtract. The difference is correct.

I look them straight in the eye and with a smile on my face I say "I stopped being a hog". No strange looks, no further explanation needed.

I have PCOS also, and have always been overweight... and sometimes obese. I also have endometriosis at the same time Teh key to weight loss for me has been to keep my PCOS symptoms regulated as much as possible. I had to have an ovary and the accompanying fallopian tube removed a few years ago but my PCOS still flared up…

The bacon I eat is 60 calories per 2 slice serving. When my diary says I ate 15 calories of bacon it's because I only ate half a slice or 1/4 of a serving.

Okay, so you all don't htink I'm a total idiot... :) 1. The only question I really asked was if MFP ever sets you at less than 1200 calories a day. It wasn't that I wanted mine to be set lower, I was just curious if that was their threshold. 2. I'm still losing, albeit slowly. Which is fine by me. I've lost quickly in the…

Take up archery... get arrows with blunt tips so they don't puncture, just bruise... then hide in the bushes and wait for her to waddle by.

Half a package of Belvita Brown Sugar and Cinnamon breakfast biscuts 3 Triscuit crackers a bag of unpopped fat free microwave popcorn a couple 100 calorie bags of roasted almonds half a box of SpecialK Berry Struesel Pastry Crisps Half an apple (just ate the other half at lunch, this half is for an afternoon snack if I'm…

You could also just keep a big jar of bacon grease in the fridge and when they policy your food, grab it and a spoon and offer them a bite.

I'm sorry you aren't getting the support you need. It sucks that your family isn't seeing your progress or acknowledging your committment to a healthier lifestyle. That being said.... I would just ignore it and whenever possible, surround yourself with positive people. Like folks here. I have gotten alot of support from…

I try to plan ahead what I'm going to eat. It makes logging a bit easier. But I'm not going to lie... It takes time and a commitment to it. But it's worth the effort. After a while the majority of the foods you eat are in your "frequent" foods list so all you have to do is scroll down, check them off and them add them.…

If you are in college, try taking a cooking class. Or go online for easy recipes that you can handle that are low fat, low carb, or low cal. It doen't have to be Filet Mignon or Coque au Vin (I know that's probly spelled wrong). Crockpot meals are easy and you don't have to be Gordon Ramsey to make them healthy. Also, Plan…

Good job!!! There are lots of ways to move your body while in a seated position too... get some small weights and work your arms and legs. Doesn't have to be acutal exercises, just MOVE! It will help you lose weight faster, and may even help with the pain you are experiencing. Good luck and keep up the GREAT work!

I have a little black dress, with big pink roses embroidered on the left side of the skirt, and a jacket that I wore a little over 10 years ago to a Christmas dinner Hubby and I went to. I looked awesome in it, but gained a bunch of weight and couldn't get into it much less zip it. So last fall I gave it to a friend who…

YUP!!!! Found the stuff at Walmart recently. 45 cals vs almost 200? Uh Heck yeah!!! The chocolate peanut butter is really good too. I even mix in about 1/2 tsp of honey and cut back on the water so it isn't runny.... Tastes soooo good on half an english muffin!

I started at 250, but have lost almost 70 so far... You CAN do it. Don't give up or get discouraged. Find what works for YOU and don't listen to everyone who tries to tell you how to do it. Weigh and measure everything you eat and log it faithfully... it gets easier the more you do it. And invest in a good pedometer.…

Love this idea!

Not me! I'm NOT EVER going back!

Talk to the instructor. Politely tell them about the problem and ask if they could speak to her discreetly. That way, the woman doesn't know who complained, but the message still gets across and through the proper channels. Besides if it's as bad as you say, I'm sure there are other people who are wondering how to broach…

I LOVE this idea!!! I bet you could make a big batch of them ahead of time and freeze them too. You could even use the Egg Beaters egg whites so you don't have all the fat from the yolks.. AWESOME idea!!!
