I'm not so sure you're really "into" him. You only want to be acknowledged via a text or email during the week, you don't want to live with him, you don't want to intrude on movie night with his son. If this man is someone you love then you want to find a way to be together more often, spend time with his children so you…

My husband started out dieting together on MFP last year and he did really well but then he kind of gave it up, mainly because he travels a lot and it's really difficult for him to stick to it. I would love for him to get back at it but not because I think he's unattractive, but because I worry about his health. He carries…

Well as I struggled to curl a 25lbs weight on the weekend I'm pretty sure there is no way I'll be able to lug around 46lbs for an hour! It would be a great challenge though!

popcorn. And if I'm really below my calories for the day I put a tbsp of butter on it!

I went away on business last week and I know I ate/drank more than I should have, and I decided to not even try and log my food as it wasn't going to be accurate. I was up three pounds and as I know it takes being 3500 cals to equal a pound I know that it's just water weight. I might have gained one actual pound. Either…

I'm currently at my desk wearing a sweater and wrapped in a blanket with a cup of hot water.....so YES! :smile:

I've spent many years being complacent about my weight. It usually takes some sort of event like a disastrous shopping trip, or a family vacation where nothing fits me or seeing a horrible picture of myself before I get the motivation to tackle dieting. This last time it took all three events that led to my total meltdown…

This. If you end up going over for the day then just reduce your calories by a little bit over the next few days so it evens out by weigh in day. No biggie. Now I want a cookie!

I weigh in on Friday mornings after my first coffee kicks in. I love Fridays for a weigh in day...that way if I have an over indulgence on the weekend I have all week to modify my diet to fix it.

Chips and chocolate

I have to be very careful and not come home starving from work or I'll tend to eat food while I'm cooking. What I've tried to do is keep an apple in my purse or a bag of mini carrots to munch on while I drive or right before I leave the office so that I'm not starving when I come through the door. Also, try popping a piece…

Every one has an opinion on the best way to lose weight. A few months back I went for a pedicure and the lady noticed I had lost weight (40lbs!) and she asked what I was doing. I responded, eating less and moving more. She asked for a typical day so I told her I generally don't eat breakfast, I'm a coffee drinker until…

My husband never ever talks about other women in front of me. And in turn, I don't comment on other men. I've never even caught him looking at another woman, he's incredibly subtle. And don't get me wrong, it's only human nature to look...but you can do it without being obvious or insulting to the woman you are with.

That's exactly how I do "eating in moderation". On Friday I enjoyed some chocolate covered chips...best thing EVER! But I won't have them again for a very long time. Luckily I'm not really a sweets kind of person, I'd rather save my calories for a nice juicy steak...red meat makes me so happy! I think cheese and nuts were…

I had never heard of 16:8 until now. I use 5:2 from time to time though. So I went and looked it up and guess what...I'm doing 16:8 without even realizing it. I'm not a breakfast person and I really enjoy having a nice big dinner so I had just tailored my calories to be eaten at that meal. It was all about creating a diet…

See now, I'm really happy when I see myself in jeans and tee...in fact if I could avoid seeing myself naked I'd probably say I was done. Unfortunately it's what I see without clothes that made me adjust my goal and now I'm only 5 or 6 lbs away from the new goal and I suspect I might not like naked me even at that weight.

I spread a tablespoon of mayo over the skin (or meat if it's skinless) and sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and paprika and bake at 350 uncovered until done. Usually 30 minutes or so, depending on the size.

Comparison is the thief of joy....a famous president once said. Thanks for the post :smile:

Well then these should work great for me, I'm completely flat footed!

I live 15 minutes from the border and I rarely go over shopping because customs has become such a pain in the behind. When we do go over we get several chickens and boneless skinless chicken breasts. It's half the price! We also grab milk and cheese. Produce is a no no. Oh, and did I mention a case of beer? It's more than…

Are you eating a lot of processed foods? Is your sodium up?

I used 5:2 to kick start my diet and found it quite easy. I still use it if I've had a bad weekend of eating or I know I have an event coming up that will put me over my calorie count. My eating patterns have me fasting pretty much every day until noon anyways. I'm not a breakfast eater and I prefer a nice meal at dinner…

5.89 gallons :happy:

deep fried turkey, yummmm

My stomach is the last place I lose. I seem to actually lose more from my back and the area above my knee but not as high as my thighs. I still have a little belly below the belly button and I may never lose that.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, although I haven't posted on the success forums, I am getting comments that people thinking that my 18 year old daughter and I are sisters! :-)

I just took a look at your food diary and it's a little erratic. You didn't log on Saturday and Sunday and you have a lot of quick add calories so it's hard to say what you're actually eating...is there a lot of sodium in the foods you're eating? Are you logging absolutely everything? weighing everything? How much you lose…

I've lost 45 lbs and I'm 43. I haven't posted to the success thread yet because I've revised my goal weight and want to lose another 10 lbs or so.

Juice Plus has been around for nearly 20 years and was added to NSA's products of water filters and air filters. The original spokesperson for the product was OJ Simpson (the juice) until he came up on murder charges. You can only guess the joke slogans that came after that. This is a MLM company so the biggest issue your…

I've always gained all my weight back after dieting by stopping whatever I was doing to lose the weight. I just went right back to eating and drinking and sitting on my *kitten* and never weighing myself. Oh, and I owned far too many pairs of stretch pants!! It's amazing how much weight you can gain without even realizing…
