Murphy? Kidding, I don't really know, my boston terrier is called Tuna... I feel strongly you need to keep it 2 syllables though, anything longer and they start to get confused / pretend not to hear you.

Hello from Tdot, hope you're having fun with MFP!!!

I hate to use the word 'Schadenfreude' but it really is like that. People really love to see other people in bad straights so they can say "look how great I'm doing" when really they're just negative idiots. It's happens to everyone trying to improve. Haters gotta hate.. So.. Appreciate! (or whatever)

Really??? Thanks... I might just do that! :smile:

This name was created as a joke-name, I didn't think I was going to hang around here much, or that anything here would actually work to help me lose weight. But I'd read about this site and wanted to login and 'see' what it was all about. Lo and behold, I was wrong, they make it easy to watch your diet, get motivated, find…

I was born in the 1960's and it was right around that time that agricultural policies in the US and Canada were changed to one of over-production. Junk-food essentially didn't exist before then, even things like McDonalds and Burger King were few and far between when I was a small kid, but by the late-70s and early-80s it…

Game of Thrones = The Most Pirated TV Show in History, that's according to the entertaiment industry stats, not me. HBO won't let HULU or Netflix or anyone else have the show (for now anyways) just google it, don't take my word for it. So everyone has to wait until it comes out on HBO. Trust me I'd just hit tunlr.net and…

Only part of it was written by Martin. According to SNL a lot of it was also written by a 13-year old. Jus sayin.

That's amazing, 38 lbs takes real Willpower good for you.

That is amazing to lose so much without exercising! Taking it slow makes sense, congrats on the steady progress.

I'm new as well and have only been here a few days. I'm finding just tracking the horrible stuff I eat really helps a lot. The more you 'account' for what you consume the scarier it is to me, since I can actually 'see' how much junk I'm scarfing down...! I guess it's all about personal accountability, and hey it seems to…

Congrats, I've only been here 2 days but it's kinda like what you're saying, they've almost 'game'-ified the app so that you want to keep playing the 'lose weight game' (does that make sense?) :smile: And congrats on being at it for 3+ weeks!

Hey for someone new you've already lost weight, good going! :smile:

I'm gluten-free for 25+ years, yes it's hard but just remember 25 years ago when noone understood it at all and your food options were zero-zilch-nada! Luckily (?) (if it can be 'lucky') there's a lot more understanding of the problem now. Plus there's a tonne of stuff now, gluten-free breads, pasta, gluten-free baking…
