When I worked for a Management Company in the College Food Service industry it amazed me that the student vegetarians I met were either gaunt and emaciated, or stout and obese. None of them appeared healthy.

Let's not forget the pigs too...

I love cake. Friend request sent. :flowerforyou:

This!

Go to bed an hour earlier at night. You're probably just watching TV or on the computer by then. Get up an hour earlier every day. Every day! Make it a habit. On workout days, get your exercise in. On non workout days, do something else productive like laundry, cleaning the kitchen or catching up on reading. Do not roll…

The short answer: No. I don't log vitamins, supplements or coffee.

I don't see this working out. What you and he each want are totally different. Cut him lose and look for someone else.

I cut out 90% of my previous refined sugar and white flour intake and have lost 66 pounds since Jan 1, 2013.

Most people will not notice 5 pounds. This begs the question: Why are you telling them? Sounds like you're looking for someone else to blame for YOUR problem.

Most of the comments I hear are positive. "You look great." or "You look younger." But occasionally I'll hear, "Don't lose any more weight, your face is looking gaunt." or "How much more are you going to lose?" followed by a frown, usually from a fat person. Don't sweat it. Just smile and say, "Thanks for noticing."

I enjoy a wide variety of fats. They all have a purpose and are all GOOD. I think canola oil is great. It has great fat ratio, and can handle high heat. I love olive oil in salads and some cooking. With some recipes I use lard for that authentic taste. I fry eggs and fish in butter. And let’s not forget the natural fat in…

I use a set of Klipsch earbuds. The ear pieces are oblong so that they fit your ear better. There are a few different ear bud tips in the pack so you will find a size that fits. The sound is awesome. I've never had one fall out.

Edited out.

If the percentage of overweight and obese Mexican shoppers at my local Mexican grocery store here are any indication, they passed us. They sure do love their tortillas, lard, sweets and sugary soda. And some of the most morbidly obese children I've ever seen.

There are three types of people in this world. 1. People who, when you have a problem, offer to help you. 2. People who, when you have a problem, do nothing or shy away. 3. People who cause you problems. Never, never, never invite the third type into your life. Your mother sounds like the third type. Figure out a way to…

That prediction is just...

Spend a few bucks on day passes to your local health club. Take their ellipticals, treadmills and exercise bikes through their paces for a full workout. See which one you like the best. Then buy used on Craigslist. Keep in mind, toning and cardio is done on the equipment. Losing weight is done in the kitchen.

I too have a bad left knee. Here's what I've done: I exercise with dumbbells and do calisthenics three days per week. On three alternating days I walk or swim. Before you go out and buy a $1000 piece of equipment, spend a few bucks on day passes to your local health club. Take their ellipticals, treadmills and exercise…

This! I couldn't have said it better myself. Every oil has it's purpose. Wine sites have their wine snobs. Beer sites have their craft beer snobs. MFP has oil snobs. Any oil used in moderation is OK.

No, not divorced. Happily married almost 18 years. The person in the picture is just a very private person.

Headbands while working out are OK. I carry a small towel. On a woman, it's OK. For a guy, he would have to turn in his MAN Card first.

Thank you to all the well wishers in this post. The support from MFP members and friends really helps.

Hi. I usually consume more protein than carbs. My diary is open. Take a look.

If you want to lose weight, it's as simple as this: You have to live each day at a calorie deficit. Expend more than you take in. Once you set-up your daily caloric intake as well as your macros (carbs, protein & fat), you can fit in beer if it fits into your daily caloric intake. What you can't do is ABUSE beer. That…

Cut out one day a week of going to the gym and go to a cooking class instead. Learn the basics at least. Knowing how to cook is essential if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle. After that, your macros are set at 55% carbs, 15% protein and 30% fat. With the amount of exercise you're doing you need to balance these better.…

Since your diary is not open, I can't see if you're currently hitting your daily protein intake. But, it's pretty simple. If you're not meeting your daily protein intake macros, up the protein powder amount to meet your daily needs. If you're already hitting your protein macros, don't.

Your numbers don’t add up. There are three main macronutrients: Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat Protein contains 4 calories per gram Carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram Fat contains 9 calories per gram Looking at your 1200 calorie per day program, I see: 50 grams of carbs x 4 calories each = 200 carb calories - 17% of…

It's good that you have a wife who wants to make you a sandwich herself. Keep testing her like this by attempting to make your own sandwich, get your own beer, or even asking her where the washing machine is in the house. These tests will keep her sharp and in tune with your needs. It will also add points to your man card.

Salt. Then butter. Can't go wrong with either one.
