Seat for me, too, please? I'm ready to fly!

Deep mutual respect and admiration. Not sure how or if it's any different for men, but with most women, love tends to follow respect. Lose respect for your partner, romantic love and sexual attraction are out the door, too, no matter how much you fight to hold onto them. Choose someone with values you admire even if…

Previous posters are right. She's not going to change until she's ready. All you can do is plant a couple of seeds and let her know you're always open to helping when/if she is ready. You said she's sedentary. Does she watch a lot of TV? That British show Secret Eaters is pretty eye-opening about the difference between how…

Congrats on your losses, everyone!

Don't brush - especially not in an overly enthusiastic fashion - directly after a sugary snack. Sugar and the bacteria in your mouth make an acidic environment, and brushing that frequently when it's most acidic and your enamel is the softest will wear off the enamel. If you want to brush shortly after something sugary or…

Yeah, definitely the scale unless you just evacuated about 7 liters of water. Doubtful.

Probably a scale issue because the only other explanation would be sudden water weight gain. If that were the case, your stomach would be quite large and tight with fluid, or you would be able to press fairly hard on your ankles/tops of feet/wrists for a few seconds and find that your skin stays indented for a while after…

INTP-t, the Logician/Architect. I've been testing as INTP for 18 years. I even tried to deliberately test as something else for a pre-employment screening since I'd actually seen a profile once that stated, "does not respond well to authority figures" and figured that might be undesirable. *Still* tested as INTP.

I'd say that I commiserate and that I gained 20 lbs of my excess weight while in nursing school, but that's a period in time I have since blocked from conscious memory (although I do still wake up from nightmares mumbling, "oh God, not another care plan" on occasion). Really, it didn't get much easier after school as a…

I posted somewhere else in the group message board and then saw this thread and figured I should backtrack and say hi first. So...hi *waves a little awkwardly* I've had an account on MFP for at least a couple of years and have toyed around entering a food diary or two now and again, but this is the first time I've used it…

My exercise tolerance had hit a record low before this last week when I started, well...exercising. Let's just say that MFP's "leisurely pace" does not feel leisurely whatsoever to me! But it's amazing how fast it's bouncing back now that I'm being more active. My favorites right now are walking on the treadmill (mostly…

Been on MFP for a while but only now getting serious about losing weight after the doctor's scale told me I was 3 lbs from the 300 lb mark a couple of months ago. It was the heaviest I had ever been. I'm down 6 lbs now through portion control and less eating out, and now I'm motivated to start logging food and exercise…
