What happened to this being a friendly, supportive site where people encourage each other to live and be healthy? How could you possibly assume you know: 1. that the diary entry is complete and that is ALL they ate that day, 2. That the person isn't dealing with something terrible in their lives or 3. they have medical…

Your concern for people is very nice... but I would stop at that statement right above you. Sometimes it's best to let people decide what's good for themselves... unless they are specifically asking your opinion. Here's wishing you a happy, healthy journey as well :smile:

This was really interesting and actually did make me feel better, thanks! Now I just need to work on consistently loosing & keeping the weight off! Lol!

Congratulations!!! What a great accomplishment! :flowerforyou:

I hope I'm not the first to say.... CONGRATULATIONS ON QUITTING SMOKING!!!!! But if I am, then let it please be loud and clear about how excited I am for you! I was a solid pack-a-day-if-not-more smoker for around 13 years. I've been quit for 3 1/2 now and I KNOW how hard that is... Just doing those two things will make…

I believe that bump is just a short message that people add to the thread to make it go back to the top of the list. Doesn't really mean much, I think...

Who says you can't drink some tasty adult beverages while being healthy and losing weight?? ;)

Oh, that sounds GOOD!

1. Back to Nature - Nantucket Blend - All Natural - Almond Pistachio Cherry Raisin and Cranberry Mix. 3 tbs is really satisfying and healthy! 2. Clif Bars are all natural, tasty and keep you full for a loooooong time :) I totally agree with you on the apples. Those little things really do keep ya full! Use a tablespoon of…

Great job! Now you enjoy that feeling of success and maintain your new healthy lifestyle :happy:

I agree with this . Sometimes you have to allow yourself the indulgence of something you love. If you have ONE, instead of NONE, then later, you maybe won't decide to binge on like FIVE! Lol! On days when I want to have something "special" I just plan the rest of the week to balance it out. Either way you do it is fine,…

Hi Shannon! You have found a good home here at MFP. The people are really supportive and you get a lot of good tips on how to live healthy. Don't think of it as a diet, think of it as a lifestyle. The way you want to feel all the time, the goals you have set. That helps me a lot. Add me if you want, I try to log in every…

I can relate! I even PLANNED for Sunday and still botched it... but not horribly, and I won't beat myself up about it either :)

I believe that for cardio, it's good to have something that gives your body immediate energy. Sugars & carbs in foods that are easly broken down work best. Stuff like chocolate milk, bananas or yogurt right after your run are really good to keep you going. I usually have lean protein a few hours later, or with dinner. But…

First, I want to say that everyone is different and you have to do what works for you. Any effort to be healthy is admirable and good. Second, however, I want to tell you my story (short version of course). I was a 14 year smoker who wanted to become healthy, lose weight and finally quit smoking. It was hard, but it CAN BE…

Good info, thanks! I know I don't like to stink! lol :)

That's EXACTLY what I was going to say! Totally accurate and true. Our bodies register averages more than singular days anyway so as long as your average is on track, going over can actually help your metabolism stay on its toes. Keep up the great work!!

I saw my wedding photos and realized I hadn't even been motivated to rock the gown the way I should have. That, and jeans. When you would rather put on stretchy pants and sit on the couch all night, there's something wrong. I really wish I would have had my wake up call before the wedding though... back fat is NOT…

It made me really happy to read this post, only because I thought I was the only person who has this problem! I have a very nice treadmill at home that I run on, but on nice days, I would love to go for a run outside but I get so paranoid that people are laughing at me and my red-faced, sweaty, slow plod of a run. Thanks…

I joined just in time, yay!! I'm so excited to do this... let's go! :happy:

I love this! Thank you for sharing! :happy:

Well stated and spot on. Thank you!

I feel as though I've finally come home! Thank you for this amazing thread! I am very Irish and a HUGE fan of beer and wine. I love to try micro-brews and all sorts of different wines. My problem is that once I have one, I want another, and then another, and then another, and... oh, you get the point! I started this week…

Welcome! My suggestion would be to keep up with the tracking. Log EVERYTHING. If you have the app on a smart phone it helps a lot. Keeping yourself aware of what you're eating, drinking and doing really helps a lot. And don't give up things you like, just reduce the intake... if you try to deprive yourself too much, you'll…

I do agree, cutting too many calories can put your body into starvation mode and cause you to stop losing weight. Use this formula to see how many calories you need to eat every day: 1. Take your weight (or a good weight for your body) and multiply it by 10. This estimates your resting metabolic rate (RMR, the amount of…
