  • Please don't attach your value as a human being to your weight. Being out of shape is what happens when you don't exercise, it is not a result of being a bad person. While it takes willpower to accomplish and prioritize anything (learning a language, volunteering to raise money for charity, reducing clutter, visiting all…
  • Have a bowl of miso soup, and a fried egg over spinach.
  • I know EXACTLY what you mean. But it turns out the more you do it, the easier it is to scale up. So the difference between Week 1 and Week 2 is actually HARDER than the difference between Week 6 and Week 7. It seems like completely illogical, but there it is - it gets easier not harder as you go on. So congrats - you just…

  • It's all the same people-- they comment when you gain weight, they comment when you lose weight. It not that they don't want to see you healthy -- it's that they don't want you to change at all. Because they mostly likely see the world in relation to them. It is uncomfortable for them to have to change their image of you,…

  • It is always rude to make presumptions about a stranger and then voice them. Always. In every circumstance. And to assume that you have free reign to comment on someone's body, assume that you can speak as an authority on their circumstance, their very presence? Rude, condenscending and presumptious. When in a restaurant:…
  • Stand up. Sitting all day without movement means you will feel lethargic, which you are combating by eating to get a quick burst of energy . You need to release the energy you've already stored -- by moving. If you are chained to your desk for the entire day, stand up. Standing will allow you to burn more calories & many…
  • " What you guys think? Am I right? Or should I ease up, be happy for my friend and go to the party even if I feel like I’m compromising on my morals and ethics? " Uh, I don't think those words mean what you think they mean. You might be compromising your diet if you go to the party. But morals & ethics? Uh, no.
  • This is a joke post, right? You are just trolling us. Gotta be. Otherwise, you'd rail against people who work for Segway (devices that stop people from walking) or companies that make high heel shoes (also hard to walk in). You'd ask your friends to NOT work for La-Z-boy -- it's right in the name! No activity! And of…
  • Here is something Carolyn Hax wrote that might apply to your situation "It is not your responsibility to be exactly the person he wants you to be. Your responsibility is to be yourself, honestly, and his is to be himself, at which point both of you have the right to decide whether these are people you want to spend your…
  • Something you should consider doing together: Counseling. Because yelling at you has nothing to do with working out, or losing weight. It has to do with control and respect.
  • Daria, Trinity, heck anyone - why should the glasses stop you?
  • My first thought was it's not all girls.. just your girl. Then I thought, maybe she's just controlling. But then I re-read his post. And realized that this might be more than just her problem. She's lost 90 lbs by "changing her diet and doing a bit of spinning" -- way to downplay it -- I'm sure it was super easy for her…
  • She lost 90lbs by changing her eating habits and doing "a bit of spinning" ? WELL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM! They way you workout/eat is not the same as the way she worksout/eats. Sounds like her lifestye is more flexible, yet diet limiting - she 'does a bit of spinning' and is able to have a drink when you go out. And she has…
  • "What’s up with you girls and not liking...." Stop dating the same type of girl. Because girls are not one unit controlled by one set of likes and dislikes, same goes for men. If you find yourself dating girls who seem controlling and critical of your hobbies - ask yourself, why are you drawn to this type of person?
  • I started by watching what I eat (logged everything in on MFP). Then I began to take 20min walks at work before or after lunch. After that I added in the 30 Day Shred tape in the morning (4 days a week) - including warm up/cool down, the whole workout takes 24 minutes. Working out definately helps lose the weight faster --…
  • http://www.barkingdogshoes.com/newshoe/2013/04/stylish-shoes-for-plantar-fasciitis.html http://www.footsmart.com/Default.aspx I got inserts & changed out all my shoes - having arch support made a difference. I can't wear flip flops, or spend a weekend barefoot -- that is too much . I can't wear flats anymore.
  • you'd need to HRM it.
  • Only if you give birth.
  • He is tearing you down because (he thinks) you owe him. Some people think if they are nice to you, you it to them to make them happy. You may even feel guilty - you are doing well, you have much, he seems to have little, you are happy, he is unhappy. (But how much of this is perspective -- he has had success losing weight,…
  • You can do it!

  • Something to think about -- if you can only lose weight by strict dieting, then try to determine what maintenance would look like -- then make the changes that makes maintenance easier for you - like having 'cheat' days, or daily walks or going to dance class or taking up bicycling, or using a point system like Weight…
  • Way to go!
  • In 2011, 50.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, 33.5 million adults and 16.7 million children. Sometimes hungry kids have trouble learning.
