Hmmmmm, I sense a little sarcasm. Yep just quit because you obviously have bigger problems then losing 2 more pounds. For those of you that took this seriously, WOW! You apparently need some positive friends.

I needed to lose 50 pounds and have lost 32. So right now pounds, but in the near future it will have to be inches because it will be time to start lifting to build muscle.

Not only is it possible it is a GREAT idea. I am 46 and have RA, and Fibromyalgia. I am going through the wonderful {{insert sarcasm and eye roll here}} change and I have lost weight. 32 pounds as of this posting. It is slow going, but that is good. I started this journey January 11, 2013. I feel better than I have felt in…

Stay away from fried and creamy sauces. Salad is always a good option. Grilled gator with a little lemon squeezed over it is wonderful. Steamed or grilled seafood is usually pretty safe but if you want to test the waters or try something new take a look at this site. http://www.dwlz.com/WWinfo/cajun.html It is a pretty…

Every morning while the coffee is brewing. I weigh every morning so I can see the ups and downs of my body. If I only weighed once a week I would not be able to tell what is normal for me.

Interesting post. However my groceries never look like the picture of the US family, nor any of the others for that matter. Too much bread in some, alcohol in others, and the amount of processed food, in most, is amazing.

At Waffle House in 2001. He was getting off work and I was leaving a club. His group of friends and my group of friends ended up there at the same time almost every Saturday night for a year ,so we sat together and all got to know each other. A year later we went out, (2002). Two years to the day after that we got married…

I weigh myself everyday too. I do it so I can keep track of my body changes. If I weighed in once a week and it was on a day when I weighed heavy, I would have stopped 3 months ago. During the week I go up and down about 3 pounds. This is not one of those up and downs. This is a stop. I am still having the 3 pound up or…

I have protein with every meal and thought I was eating healthy carbs. The fried ice cream was a treat the kids had at the local Mexican restaurant. I literally took 2 bites but logged it as 1/4 cup I think. Besides that I am trying not to restrict the foods I eat. I am making a life style change so I am trying to control…

Thanks for the replies. I understand the eating more concept, but it scares me. My head tells me eating more is what made me over weight in the first place. I sure didn't gain weight by eating less. If you looked at my diary you should have noticed an upward trend in my calorie intake. Even though I am not eating 2000…

30 pounds. People have just started asking me if I have done something different. Or "Have you lost weight"? My mother and my 1 of my daughters noticed after 5 pounds. I think people notice but but are worried the loss may be from sickness or afraid they may be wrong. So they just dont say anything.

I'm grateful for not having to deal with sore muscles, just worried I may not be getting the benefits of exercising if nothing hurts. The lifting begins soon and I am sure that is when I will begin to feel the muscle pains. Thanks for the replies.

If you figure it all out please clue me in. I dont think I will ever figure it ALL out.

I am 19 pounds from my original goal, but I am going to add 10 to it so I can be in the mid range of healthy weight for my height and build. So Make it an even 30. YIKES 30 MORE POUNDS! Guess that makes me halfway there ;)

This for sure! It is so bad I started to take it back to the store. Not because I wanted my money back, but just because it is soooooo bad I wanted them to take it all off of the shelves and stop selling it to unsuspecting, innocent people.

I get this. ↑ I am heading to the beach next week too so I went shopping yesterday. The suits didnt look as good on me as I thought they would so I will stick to a tankini. You do what makes you feel comfortable. I would be showing off that bi**hin in tattoo though.

THIS↑ After about 2 weeks I was bored. I still do the ab exercises, and strength exercises from the video but I like to get my cardio from c25k and the elliptical. It is a good quick work out though. I hope you enjoy it and stick to it.

I took a mini vacation last month and I logged everything. I hadn't planned to, but I wanted to see just how bad my eating habits were. Between all of the walking I really did good. I lost a pound that week. I leave Friday evening for 5 days at the beach and I will log everyday. That way if I gain a pound or 2 I will know…

There are options every where. You just have to plan ahead and not try to make a decision while at the drive thru window. For example the Fresco tacos (crunchy) are only 140 calories each. Fresco chicken soft tacos are 150. I try to research and know what I am eating before I leave my house. However sometimes, with…

What does this mean?↑ I have tons of self esteem and I value myself. Even better my "bad boy" values me. A "bad boy" does not mean an abuser, drunk, or drug dealer. A bad boy is a mans man. A man that has a strong masculine look. A man that stands up for himself and his woman. A man that doesnt take any crap. A bad boy is…

I've got it all, a bad boy biker with a heart of gold. Bad boy looks and attitude and a really nice sweet guy at home. Best of both worlds. I am one of the lucky ones.

First visit many shops before you jump in. Go to a shop that has a good reputation. Also check their health department certification, if required in your area. Ask to see the artists portfolio and not just flash that is on the wall. Make sure the shop is CLEAN. It should be as clean as your doctors office. The tattoo…

No I do not link MFP to facebook. I do have my fitbit linked to facebook. It posts 1 time daily with my steps/miles for the day. I too would like to have a "like" button. There are many times, when my MFP friends post something, that I dont really have anything to say but would like to acknowledge that I read their post…

Seriously? I would not have eaten this on my worst day. To each his own.

Instead of doing most weight lost, maybe do highest percentage of weight lost. Heavier people lose more weight faster and so do men. So a 150 pound person that loses 30 pounds has a bigger percentage of weight lost than 300 pound person that loses 30 pounds. It levels the playing field a little. Does this make sense?

Count me in. 46 and fighting the hormones. 46? How the hell did that happen?

Just got back from Thunder on the beach. Luckily there was no shortage of great grilled and raw seafood. Most of the rallies in this part of the country have crawfish with corn on the cob, which I will indulge in. There is always barbecue or grilled chicken, and pork. I tend to eat what I want and work it off when the…

Arent you already at your ideal weight for your height? http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/calculators/ideal_bw_women.htm If you still want to be smaller it is going to be tougher to lose weight. Exercise and EAT SOMETHING!
