The best way to get him to accept it is just to keep doing it. You have done all the talking you need to on the subject and you probably aren't going to change his mind with just words anyways. Eventually hopefully he will come around.

What were you wearing to the gym before that even makes this a question?

You have told him already. It sounds like the better question would be are you going to stay miserable or are you going to change? It is impossible to change someone else. You can stay in your relationship and let things stay as they are or you can stop letting his comments get to you and lose the weight you want to lose.…

This is just not going to end well. Why do you care what other people think about veganism? If you want to be a vegan, go ahead.

Even though I think you would be best served to mind your own business about it, maybe you could just suggest an activity to do together. Tell them you were thinking about taking up hiking or something but don't want to do it alone and see if they would be willing to go with you. I wouldn't even mention their weight.

I always thought it was rude to comment on someone's weight at all. I get uncomfortable when people make comments about my weight or ask how much I lost. I am proud of my progress, but I don't need to boast about it or anything. On the other hand, I had a neighbor who blatantly told me several times before I decided to…

I like her.

I gained a lot during each of my 3 pregnancies. I can understand your concern with the weight gain but the main thing you should focus on is having a healthy baby. With my last one I gained 85 pounds mostly because I lived on McDonalds french fries, and it took some work but I was able to lose all of the baby weight. Just…

That's pretty much what I was going to say. Dating involves emotions which tends to get messy.

It sounds to me like he has a "wife" and a girlfriend. An hour is too far to drive? lol. Somebody is fooling themselves.

Sound advice. The point they are trying to make is that you seem to have a lot of drama in your life. That you tend to share that drama with strangers is indicative that the problem may be *you* and not *them*

Why would you feel the need to have an 18" waist? I would say maybe you should work on accepting the body shape you were given and becoming a happier, healthier you.

If you hit search and type in "Mirena" I am sure you will find a lot of other women who feel it has inhibited their weight loss. I, personally, never had that issue and have had the Mirena for about 8 years.

The first couple times I went to a gym I felt a little awkward, too. I soon realized I was being ridiculous. You pay to be there. You belong there. The super fit people you see have just put the time in. They all had a first day too.

I don't think MFP ever told me to only eat 1200. It has always been higher. I imagine I would be pretty grumpy eating so little. It started me out at about 1360 I think. I still think that was low, but with putting in my exercise calories I still felt fed. Now I aim for around 1750 in maintenance and I know I go way over…

You're not unproportionate. You're just not an hourglass figure. Not everyone is. Yes, weight training will help you feel better about how you look, but it wont necessarily change your body type.

If you have been making progress drinking the diet soda, why would you feel the need to change that? It is a no calorie drink. Treat it as such.

My older son loves Honey Nut Cheerios. My younger son loves sugary, probably not good for him at all cereal. Frankly I am just glad to get at least one of them to eat in the rush of the morning. Some days, as long as they are eating at all, I am happy.

I lift 4 days a week for just under an hour at a time. I run when I feel like it. I used to run a lot more now it's maybe a couple times a month for about an hour when I do it. I also do little monthly challenges. This month I am doing the 30 day ab challenge. The biggest thing I did though, was start to pay attention to…

I'm happy for you. :cookie:

Lol, Pokemon!! I find going to the gym to be the best therapy I have ever had.

Nope. Can't say that it has happened to me. Had you eaten just prior to running?

The easiest way to get over being intimidated about the gym is to have a purpose to be there. If you just walk in without a plan you will be much more likely to leave dissatisfied and not like it and quit. Look into a lifting program. The popular ones are Starting Strength, New Rules of Lifting and Stronglifts. Pick one…

It really depends on the ex, why you split and what kind of obligation you still have with that person. I am civil with many of my exes, but I don't feel the need to seek them out and have friendly relationships with them. I get along fine with my ex husband and even work with him on occasion, but we have two kids and…

I was a lot more offended when my young daughter was singing about licking it like a lollipop. Eta: And that stupid Whistle song.

I have 5. I usually cycle between my two favorites. I don't really have a lot to contain, though.

You may need to adjust your expectations. Results like you see on shows like the Biggest Loser are not typical. Plus they spend all day everyday with personal trainers doing nothing but working on losing weight. Most people cannot do that in reality. You are 11 days in. That is still very early. Be patient and keep at it.

Your best option would be to go somewhere else. I have a pretty strong stomach, but Long John's kills me every time.

Planet Fitness has free personal trainer consultations and group exercise classes. I would suggest utilizing those.
