Definitely keep it programmed. Do not ever dial it...or answer it.

Two extra hours in every day and some beer.

It's a very useful tool for those who are choosing to attempt logging on Thanksgiving. Thank you for your effort. With that being said; half a cup of turkey leg...can't we just eat the whole thing?

Sometimes people take others actions as a silent judgment of themselves. If you are logging your food at the table maybe they feel like you are throwing it in their faces. Maybe you can log your food before or after the meal and just enjoy your friends company when you are with them. You can't change their behavior and…

Having a beer a day and binge drinking are two different things. Having a beer a day is fine. Binge drinking everyday is not and will most likely affect your progress in several ways that would make protein synthesis and muscle growth a moot point.

Why not just eat the yogurt or string cheese? Sometimes the only thing I have for breakfast is yogurt, which I usually mix with protein powder. Sometimes I eat nothing for breakfast and have a bigger lunch.

Oh, you don't log. You may not be eating enough then. Try logging for a while.

I think I would need 4 times that much alcohol to get over the fact I'd be eating possum.

Fisticuffs in the drive-thru...priceless. I doubt that will happen in my department because we are usually pretty slow even when the rest of the store is slammed. One can hope, though.

I'm torn between hoping that we have no customers and they see what a terrible idea it is and needing there to be customers so I can stay busy and awake. I am completely missing out on the family dinner this year, too, since it is being held in another state and I wouldn't be able to make it back in time.

First, are you eating enough? A lot of people get started and seem to think that 1200 is enough calories. For most of the population, it's not. Your diary isn't open so I don't know. Second, when you are walking for 30 minutes and your legs collapse by the end of the week is it because you are doing it everyday? How much…

I do that also and then dip it in milk. That's just about the only time I drink milk.

I'm just going to leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKWmFWRVLlU

I wouldn't call it healthy, but it's not as bad as smoking. You should be happy for him that he stopped smoking cigarettes and know that not everyone handles each situation the same. I haven't personally seen anyone quit smoking for more than a couple weeks using the e-cigarettes so I am impressed with his will power. I…

I drink pretty regularly, too, and have often wondered this. There were times when I was actively trying to lose that I would dread weighing in because I was sure I had gone way over, but I was still losing. Now I'm maintaining and still drinking regularly with no problem.

Why not just water? Can't get much more natural than that.

They should figure out why they struggle so much with temptation and fix it not use it as an excuse to stay overweight which is what this entire thread is about in the first place. If they cannot fix what is wrong with them, then yes they should stay single instead of risking breaking someone's trust. Either that or they…

Aside from religious purposes (and that's a stretch for me) I cannot think of a single good reason to stay in an unhappy relationship, especially with kids involved. I truly wish you or your friends or whoever is in that situation the best.

Yes that's exactly what I said. I am a divorced mother of three and I can guarantee you my children are much better off than they would be if their father and I were still in our dysfunctional, unhappy marriage. Now he and I can have actual conversations and make mutual decisions regarding our children without it turning…

That's not at all what I said. What I said was they would probably cheat if given the opportunity no matter what weight they are. Using the excuse they would cheat if they lost weight is not a good reason to stay overweight. What's more honorable to me is choosing to take care of yourself and your responsibilities and not…

I don't know, maybe it's just that I am not a fan of people who make excuses or people who cheat. If someone is so worried about their ability to be faithful that they choose to stay overweight, maybe they shouldn't be in that relationship at all.

Wow, a whole new excuse for people to not put effort into their appearance. I am pretty sure that if someone is worried they will stray from their relationship if they lose weight, they would stray from their relationship if someone approached them while they are overweight, too. Might as well be sexy while being a…

The best way to get past it is to just move on and not dwell on it. He is an ex for a reason.

Try chair squats. You could do them using a broom handle or dumbbells if you want, too. http://healthyliving.azcentral.com/squat-vs-chair-squat-8923.html

The only things I drink are copious amounts of water, diet soda and alcohol. Maybe all of the alcohol cancels out the negative, weight-gain-stomach-fat-cancer-causing agents in diet soda, but I haven't had any problems with it.

This thread makes me sad. I am 5' 4" and when I started MFP I was around 145lbs. I lost eating between 1400 and 1800 cals before exercise. You don't have to starve yourself and be miserable to lose weight so why would you? If you are not losing by eating so little you should know you are doing it wrong and instead of…

It really depends on the person. I am 33 and have dated both younger and older men. Maturity is a question at any age so I couldn't use that as a reason not to date a younger guy. I have dated older men and there are some things I am not ready for, yet. If you have to remove your teeth from your mouth to clean them…

Start with just bodyweight squats or the bar until you get your form/flexibility down and increase weight from there. You don't want to injure yourself.

You are over-complicating it and stressing yourself out. From the calculations you have listed you should be eating between 1700-1900 calories and still be able to lose weight. Use MFP to log your food and try to stay close to your calorie goal. If you eat over one day, log it honestly and move on. Every day is a new day…

I bought a pre-stuffed tilapia from the grocery store's seafood department the other day and just had to bake it for dinner. It was delicious, easy and not overly "fishy" tasting.
