Are you using a heart rate monitor to get an accurate picture of how many calories you are burning? You didn't mention it, but if you are eating your exercise calories and those are based on the MFP estimates, that might be part of it. Having said that, I agree that you have likely replaced fat with muscle. Your clothes…

I use vanilla almond milk to make my oatmeal in the morning. FANTASTIC (if you like your oatmeal a little sweet)!!!!

Vanilla almond milk, fresh blue berries and strawberries. Sometimes I use bananas instead of berries. It's the almond milk that makes it good!

[/quote]Bullying hasn't gotten worse, we have.[/quote] I agree. Our disposable world is made up of disposable people and disposable relationships (thank you Fight Club...although I am not supposed to talk about that). Nobody means anything to anyone else these days. This disconnect will be our downfall if we, as a society,…

Bullying is incredibly harmful and has lasting effects. I have been bullied and I have been the bully. Generally speaking bullies do what they do to try to replace something that has been taken from them. Sometimes it is their power. Sometimes their dignity or respect or self esteem. As a parent, I have already had to deal…

Blaze Silverwhip...you heard me!!!

I pretty much monitor my weight daily but I only log it in after I lose weight. That way I am only posting positive outcomes. Sometimes that means I post 3 days in a row and other times it means I don't post for 2 weeks. IDK...it works for me.

This may sound strange, but in the past compliments have been the catalyst for my diet demise. I think it has to do with me realizing that others are aware of my weight (and have been). I become very self conscious and start to feel the shame of getting so fat and that other people have taken notice. That sends me into…

I recently found a seasoning called spike. It is a blend of sea salt, herbs and other spices and is much lower in sodium. It tastes pretty good. Its not perfect, but I can't just go without salt yet. It is a step down process for me. :-)

I think just going up and talking to them wold be great. I know I like it when girls I don't know come up and talk to me. Don't worry about being clever or witty...just be natural. You will know pretty quickly if they are into you!

Men also have more lean muscle mass. That keeps our metabolic rate higher. That is a catch 22 for a lot of women because they feel that if they add more muscle they will add bulk and look less "feminine". For that reason, a lot of women avoid weight training. However, you can lift weights without adding bulk. Just use a…

I can introduce you to the Texas Tush Haul...I do it all day every day!!!

This is that string RoJ...this thread sums up what men are all about. [burps and tucks hand neatly in waistband to maximize comfort level while watching tv] Cheers, Rick!

I am also interested in a HRM but some of the reviews I have read note that the chest strap is small. I am a big fella and have a big chest. Anybody know if the Polar F6 (or others) chest strap is adjustable...like REALLY adjustable? I wear a size 3XL shirt (but I plan on being in a 2XL before long - wink). Thx in advance…

NICE!!! I have lots more that I like or that I will drink, but those are my "go to" beers

*BUMP*

This is the only one I know... A bear and a rabbit were pooping in the woods. The bear looked at the rabbit and says "Hey rabbit...do you have a problem with poop sticking to your fur?" The rabbit replied "Actually no. I guess I am lucky like that." So the bear picked up the rabbit and wiped his butt with him.

Yes! I believe there is positive and negative momentum or flow. That positive flow makes it easier to make more positive decisions which creates more positive flow! I love that feeling. Of course the opposite is true as well. That is why it is so important to be conscious so that one bad decision or meal or splurge doesn't…

My old standby when I go to a pub/bar is Real Ale's Fireman's 4. It is made in Blanco, TX about 30 miles from my house in Austin. It is another Blonde Ale that is very drinkable. Love it!! Real Ale also makes a great Pale Ale!

Oh...I also really like Scrimshaw Pilsner by North Coast Brewing Co. in Ft Bragg, CA. Really nice!

that sounds amazing!!!

Quorn Meatless Grounds = fantastic!!!! I use it 2-3 times a week. I also love White Mountain Wheat Roast. BTW...I am not a vegetarian (my wife is). [I do love a tasty burger]

Ditto on the New Belgium beers and the Victory beers!!! Haven't had the others...yet.

Well i guess someone doesn't want me to post a picture of a pint of Blonde Bombshell...oh well!

spoken abbreviations like guac for guacamole or mac and cheese. written is ok...er...okay.

Gorgeous!!!

take two I love tattoos although I don't have one yet. I think they are incredibly sexy especially if they have personal meaning behind them. Here is the one I am getting very soon. It is an ouroboros which is a symbol of rebirth along the same lines as a phoenix (or fenix). I especially like the image of a serpent eating…
