Perfect! :flowerforyou:

Doughnuts are my weakness. I really can't pass them up. I'll even eat them a day old if they are still in the break room. I just log them and try to work in extra cardio time. But I try not to let it set me back.

"The inscription on Thor’s hammer reads ‘Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.’ Well it’s time to update that inscription," said Marvel editor Wil Moss in a statement. :angry:

Right? Why can't we all just get along?

I'm not really a rabbit, but I am lost most of the time.

This. x 1,000. If you go for maintenance, then you shouldn't gain and you may well find yourself enjoying food again. I hit maintenance a few weeks back and it's an awesome feeling. I will never go go back to my high weight. Ever. I wish you the best of luck as you work through this.

When I quit smoking, I did a lot of cardio at first and didn't gain or lose. Then, over the years I gained about 30 pounds (and I was already about 20 too high). For three years, I've been a consistent exercise schedule - cardio, calisthenics and recently heavy lifting. I now cope by hitting the gym or jogging a couple of…

I struggle with this a lot. I notice people improving, but I worry if I say something it will sound come off judgy or hurtful, which is the last thing in the world I want to do. However, if someone mentions it (brags a bit even), then I feel like it's okay to say something.

This is generally true of the low and mid priced models. Polar and Suunto both have models that allow you to enter you burn zones, which can be especially effective if those zones have been measured during a metabolic test. But I won't kid you - between the test and the equipment, you can shell out some real money. I did…

Bless your heart, OP.

My experience with calorie burn from the cardio machines is that the numbers are really high. I use a heart rate monitor. When I compare my HRM to the machine, the burn from the machines has been almost double sometimes. The machine is always higher than the HRM. For me, this is the difference of 100 to 300 calories a…

I know several, too!!

Sigh, there was no internet when I was 18. But if there was, I am quite certain I would have lied and fibbed my way into any site that said I could not be there. Why? Cuz!

I am confused. What's this about now?

Outstanding. :flowerforyou:

She is awesome, isn't she?

This is not new in American history. Upton Sinclair wrote a bestseller in 1906 with his book The Jungle, exposing the filthy practices of the meat packing industry. His book also took a hard look at business and labor practices of that period. Every generation likes to think its problems are the worst that mankind has ever…

Damn. I was all ready to respond with a zinger. I lost an uncle at 11 years old that meant a lot to our family. Your words are touching and wise.

You are quite welcome. Anytime now.

Words matter. Given your assertion that you have suffered from name-calling, I would have expected to have seen several nouns used in lieu of your name or the term OP. However, as mentioned before, the one word you could cite, ungrateful, is indeed an adjective. It is a descriptor, not a substitute for a person, place or…

I have melatonin.

In before the lock.

I'm sure I'll be disappointed but what the heck.

Sometimes, you have to go to the classics.

Potatoes rock! How else am I going to get my butter and sour cream ration for the day? On a banana? I think not!

It needs to be asked.

**swoon**

I think Michael Jordan said it best: "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." You view on failing is really that of one of the greatest…
