That's a very awesome contrast to the rewards you first planned. I am motivating my son to get more active and drink less empty calories. Giving him a healthy future is my reward!

Sounds very good! Yum.

Sounds like you are really overwhelmed. I would suggest breaking down things like changing some of your eating habits and incorporating more movement into your day without making it a full on work out session. Even if you have to do shorter workouts, find reasons to get up and move. Take breaks and pace, do arm circles,…

Why would any one be embarrassed to refuse or be around anyone who refused cake? I would be more impressed at their will power. This is why peer pressure gets people to do stupid things. If refusing cake embarrasses someone I hate to see what else they might do just to avoid being embarrassed. LOL

I'm 43 and started this weight loss effort Feb 2013. I have lost 40 lbs on MFP and had already lost 10 before joining so I have lost about 50. You can do it.

Mine is about like yours give or take a day or two but my sex drive is very much alive then too.

Great post/poem. My son is diagnosed Aspergers/high functioning so most of this applies but I don't think he minds how he is. He admit to being antisocial and never plans to marry or have kids. He's only 12 but he says he knows this about himself. Who knows... each person has a vast universe in their minds.

I find if I change my workout routine or eat some variety of food I lose weight more easily rather than if my days are cookie cutters of the days prior.

I'm a working mom to a 12 year old boy! He is autistic/Aspergers diagnosed. Add me if you like :D

I have it and it does not require an HRM and I agree with WoWkat - it's only to be used to gauge your activity level and not true calorie burn. I say you should pick a calorie intake and work with it for a month. If you don't lose, you're either not moving enough or eating too many calories for your calorie burn to be…

You can add me as well :)

You can friend me if you like :)

What's wrong with just looking good because you like yourself and believing you are hot? Who cares who is looking or feeling jealous. How can that make you responsible for how others feel or react to your looks.

Stay motivated - it works and it's worth it to be healthy and happy for you and your family.

Request sent.

I think this being directed at women is "found" to be sexist. I don't think it is. I read it loud and clear because I know a lot of women in my life that forget about their own needs to do everything for everyone else, save everyone else and work themselves into nubs trying to be everything to everyone. It's honestly…

Spinach wrap with avocado and provolone! Love that combination and some greek yogurt and fat free pringles :)

Sometimes I get up early or walk during my lunch break or right after work before I go pick up my son. It helps to squeeze in short 10 to 20 minute activities. Don't stress about doing a long workout all at once - break it up and work up from there. Add me if you like. :)

You look great!

Highly unlikely. Libido is reduced the lower the % of BF ... at least that is what a family member said about it when he was at really low BF % himself.

Wow that sounds very good. :)

So organized ... Love it. :)

Amazing change!! :)

Me too. I almost want to close this damn account sometimes with all these dependencies placed on me.

Send me a friend request - make friends on here to keep you setting new goals.

Great inspiration - great job!

^^^ this...I am about to do that to the annoying kid in the produce section of Publix. He seems to be a bit slow and just stares at me and says hi about 3 or 4 times when he sees me at the grocery store every time. I never even speak to him but he is just not very bright and keeps trying. He's probably just 10 years older…

Very cool. I had no idea you could do this. :happy:

Thanks! I have also bought egg whites to make this less of a challenge but I know the yolk has a lot of good nutrients so I still eat them.

:) I'll send a friend request :)
