Absolutely support reporting this to HR, that is outright bullying.

I truly sympathize. I think you've come to the right place though - this community has many great examples of people who have faced the same challenges and overcome them. May I suggest a few very import ant topics here on the forum to get you started? Really, really important, as reading and internalizing what they say can…

Haven't finished reading but I love how he summarizes the link between what you eat and how much: "quality affects quantity". (I interpret that rather broadly - for some people, that may mean that they get better adherence, satiety and overall happiness when prioritizing certain foods. It might be big quantities of…

I see no problem with people being "passive" about my attempts to lose weight - the only one who needs to be active about it is me. And I've never had to deal with downright negativity but frankly most people around me don't notice my weight loss in any way other than the results. I make a point of it not affecting anyone…

I have gotten these in the past, when attempting really restrictive diets (never went past day 2 exactly because of the crippling headaches). I tend to think it's not just the hunger but the nutritional balance - enough protein, carbs, fat. I have not sought a scientific explanation honestly, so this is entirely anecdotal…

Unexpected results of weight loss - enjoy! A 36-page thread about all the benefits people have found. Over 1K replies and counting. That should fix your need for external motivation. You do need to be internally motivated though and want it for yourself too. Good luck!

Thank you, that's clever!

I'm in. I've been on MFP since January, a couple of months months consistent logging and lost 20 lb, a couple of months off the wagon but kept my exercise and was just recently shocked to see a biceps bulge :) Never done a group challenge but it might be just the thing to nudge me to log consistently again.

@doktorglass - if you don't mind, how do you pack the open-faced sandwich for work to keep it from spilling all over when carrying or unwrapping?

I remember back when I did Hatha Yoga there were poses that were supposed to help too, and they did - for me at least.

Check that your fats aren't way way too low. Also, there are many options of naturally laxative foods out there, but different things work for different people. For me a nice sweet pear before my morning coffee works always, no exceptions; for some people it's prunes, or only dried prunes, or even spinach, or oddly enough,…

Body shapers tend to be a bit too restrictive for exercise, but there are sports clothes with a lot of lycra/spandex too, in NA they're called "compression shorts" sometimes. The name doesn't matter really - anything tight enough to keep the flap in place but not so tight it cuts off circulation while you exercise, will do…

Tough week, UncleMac? There are some weeks I want to Kick on their way out.

Eggs, tuna, chicken, pork, yogurt.

"A" guy... Which guy? :) Seriously, even if he was picking up a feature that he can complement without faking, that's what all humans do, all the time, not just in romantic relationships either. If I compliment you in your running, it doesn't mean your swimming sucks, it just mean that I personally, at this specific…
-
See now, that I consider a nice compliment and I think it sounds like your perception is a bit distorted. If you hear "Your eyes are so deep it makes me dizzy to look into them", would you think "Oh, so my nose must be uggly then?". Being told your face is beautiful has nothing demeaning or condescending about it, it just…
-
I was wondering that too because, in my experience, most guys get so ego-bruised after a rejection that they go out of their way to act aloof with you sometimes to the point of being rude, even if you rejected them really gently and try to still be nice to them. Not saying this must happen in this case, but it has always…

Somebody pointed out to me the rolling week and I am ever so grateful... On the app you can set your week to start "7 days ago", i.e. any day you look at your stats, it shows you the previous 6 days and today as day 7. I really like it because for some (doubtlessly purely subjective) reason it helps me feel more consistent…
-
Pu, not a single thing you've given as an example has convinced a single person on here. Does that raise any flags for you? If it hasn't, that is because your thinking is apparently disordered. If you are just a teenager or a late-blooming in-your-early-twenties never-had-a-girl guy, there is hope for you yet, you might…

Not a fan of VS, but I am totally a fan of the attitude in that post!
-
Do I understand correctly that this was a man you never met in person but through some proxy like a dating site, forum etc? You then sent him pics and had the reaction you had? In that case, the result is not at all surprising. Rudely put, but not surprising. A lot of people tend to treat these venues as…
-
This^ especially the bold part. No, not all men are like this. Yes, a man might *prefer* it if you stayed slimmer, but if you're in the right relationship, he should be attracted to you even if you were fat. It's not the feminist in me, as you put it, that cringes at the thought of ever hearing a man I cared for equate fat…

This just seriously upped the creepiness factor. I am changing my mind about this guy. I refused to see him as a creep and thought he was just confused by pop culture and struggling with some complex of his own. I see (from all his new posts, not just the above) he's seriously headed into the dark side.

Thank you all, we did have Mediterranean foods in the end, falafels, mini filo pies different kinds, salads and dips... Guests loved it, or perhaps they were just super happy that their team won :) I am bookmarking this thread for future reference because I love all the ideas and will probably use them all in time,…

Am I the only one for whom the thread title paired with a food context immediately evoked memories of this: :)

I get physically sick when I have to ride on the bus/metro next to someone who has been way too liberal with her/his perfume. I wish people would understand that perfume is meant to be worn close to the body, and certainly never in a gym :(
-
If it involves a lot of sit-ups and exercises lying on the floor and diziness happens after you get up, try gettin up more slowly - sit up for a few sec, on your knees for a few sec, etc. Many women have this issue when standing up from prolonged stay in positions where their head is at the level of or below the heart.…

From the fact that there are guys who do this habitually and that makes them seem super-sleazy. I tried to make it very clear that I am not applying that label to you, I apologize if it came across that way. Edited to keep it to the minimum and not perpetuate the high-jacking.
-
Look, @Pu_239, has it occurred to you that regardless whether she is broken or not, you definitely are if you go into this kind of dynamics in a relationship? If you're afraid to approach a woman directly, and then you try to get closer to her as a friend, practically push her into being half-intimate with you (judging…

Whether you're eating better is compeletely irrelevant to weigt loss. Whether you're eating less is relevant. Are you? What is your "diet"? Are you weighing and measuring and logging all your food?
