Beautifully said!

Good for you! I know what you mean; it's very difficult for me to honestly log my bad days. But I just tell myself "suck it up buttercup" and do it. Indeed, a little red won't kill you :flowerforyou:

:laugh: :drinker:

Russia won more medals than the USA this past Winter Olympics. They are not referring to you, they are referring to the person that said Americans don't like winter :wink: To the OP: If I'm doomed because I eat pizza, then bring on the apocalypse!

There are no "right foods" and 'wrong foods". Just stay within your calories and you'll be fine :drinker:

Thanks for the :laugh: !

My husband's account :blushing: I log for him (completely willingly; I actually enjoy it) and forgot I was "him" :laugh:

Wow that was a long read. Started this morning, continued on my lunch hour, just finished to here. I take a few things away from this thread: 1) OP, though I agree that the pairing of that top and shorts was not the best, IMO it is a completely appropriate outfit for a BBQ. I'm glad you talked to your husband…

By saying "that is no way to live in my opinion", does that mean that tracking her calories is not an option? My husband complained about being the heaviest he's ever been, so I suggested we do a trial 2-week run with him on MFP. I would log his calories and tell him where he was at and we'll see how it goes. So we started…

Love your attitude! So often people that post a subject like this are freaked out and there are several of these in the post--> :sad: I went 1389 over yesterday myself. I cringed when I logged it all but today's a new day! :drinker:

QFT :laugh: I recently bought some golf clubs on Ebay, and am now seeing golf club ads just about everywhere I go on the Interwebz. As I type this, though, I am getting an ad for Medifast. Think that goes more against the grain of the philosophy of this site than a loaded biscuit! :drinker:

When I opened up this topic, on the right hand side was "5 foods to never eat" in order to cut belly fat and of course a picture of a banana. Go figure. I also have never clicked on one of those and I agree with those that say bananas are great!! I have one for breakfast every day :smile:

I gave up soda for flavored seltzers years ago (never tried La Croix though). It did take some getting used to, but now I really can't stand soda, it's too sweet! Love my seltzer :smile:

Fitbit for fitness, digital food scale for weight loss :smile:

Absolutely JAW-DROPPING!! I keep looking back and forth because I'm utterly amazed that it's the same person. Your story is incredibly inspiring, keep up the good work!!!

Looking forward to you reporting back afterwards! Have fun! :drinker:

^This is basically what I wanted to say; communicate right up front with the trainer that you're a bit nervous and have never used any of the machines before. Then he/she knows exactly where you are at and can help accordingly. Don't worry so much about details like what you are wearing; as others have pointed out, no one…

My plan is to munch today (in moderation) and then balance it a bit over the course of this upcoming week by eating a little less or exercising a little more each day. Go Omaha!! :wink: (actually, I have little preference for who wins, just hope it's a good game)

A standard bottle of wine is about 26 ounces or 750ml. There is one member entry in the database here that has 3 confirmations. Choose 750 units of 1ml and that should give you your answer (or at least close to it).

Breakfast and lunch I log what I eat when I decide what I will be eating. My supper calories are planned around what's left. Once I decide what to have for supper I pre-log it all, adjusting amounts to fit in to my daily goal.

It's posts like this that make me wish for a Like button on here :laugh: OP, I just had ham last night, and I can most definitely tell you :noway:

Agree with what folks are saying here. Weight loss is all about calories in vs calories out, so in the strictest sense it doesn't matter what you eat. However, some foods are not as satisfying as others or are so high in calories that you can only eat a little bit, which may leave you hungry and you end up eating more. If…

I love pasta and pizza!!! :drinker: If this were me I'd first try to find a menu online so I could plan ahead. If no online menu, I would just pick something reasonable when I got there. If it's a meal for myself (not a pizza being split) I would probably eat at most half of it and take the rest home. If it were a pizza I…

LOVE this! :heart: :drinker:

My suggestion would be to buy just one to start and give it to him. See if it "takes" or not, whether or not he gets any use out of it, and if it so buy a second one otherwise take it from him for you to use and then get him something else for his birthday. Just a thought :smile: ETA: I have the Zip and I LOVE it! It does…

Yes, you certainly can lose weight by only eating McDonalds depending on your food choices. As I recall, for Supersize Me his rules were that he had to rotate through every item on the menu and he would supersize only if they asked him (and if they asked him, he HAD to supersize). You could choose only from the…

Totally love my Zip; really love that it hooks in with MFP :smile: It does motivate me to get up and moving on days I know I'm going to be over cals. Also love the weekly progress reports that show cals in vs cals out and weight change. I rarely have reason to climb stairs (1-story house and my work office is on the first…

In for science :drinker:

I never knew that tubal ligation could result in these kind of symptoms! I had successful essure done and though my flow is now REALLY heavy (and my gyno attributes that to the procedure) I have had no other issues. Hope your doctor was able to help you!

^^^Agree. I'm a 5'6" female and my goal weight is 130. Also curious about where you came up with 130. No disrespect intended, just honestly curious.
