the one about the wife thinking about cheating on her husband is an especially tasty morsel this morning. Not tastier then corn dogs though.

LOL. I'm obviously dealing with an OP who doesn't like to be told about him/herself. it wouldn't be MFP without at least one stupid post a day. thanks for filling the quota! have fun with your post. I'm gonna go for a run then lift :laugh: :wink:

I'm sorry but this sounds stupid. IDK about other people... or mice... but withdrawal from running is not something I deal with. I don't run to get away from my problems. I don't lift to get away from my problems. Because no matter what I'm doing at the gym, when I come back, my problem will still be there. I have always…

Is THAT what it's called? :laugh: i have always hated that my hip goes in like that I've always wanted a rounded hip and bondonkadonk (coke bottle shape). but when my body gets really bangin it really won't matter to me at all. silver lining and all that :drinker:

Thanks! I think I do need to bring the carbs down slightly.

Thanks! I struggle to consistently hit my macros every day. Right now I have it set at 50/25/25. I'm gonna look into upping my protein as well. I consume so many carbs and even though it is USUALLY complex carbs, i have to try and bring it down. thanks again for your help.

Why is it that when people try to tell the truth, they are called haters? How is it that we are not supporting her? She asked a question and she is getting honest answers. Some choose not to sugar coat it. Many people who lose weight end up gaining it back. It's a fact. In order to be successful she has to learn to get get…

As someone else said... we really can't help you. What it comes down to is willpower. I understand it's hard. Trust me. My willpower comes in waves and I can't always so no. I'm not married so I'm not gonna pretend I completely undersand what you are feeling but this feels similar to my life at home where my family,…

Reported for being a total... well I won't say it here :smile:

I would love to say nothing, but as of recently I've become more strict because some foods just arent worth the calories to me anymore: 1. candy 2. juice/soda 3. chips 4. cookies/cake (for the most part) 5. fast food like McDonalds (only becausei find it gross now) I'd rather have a huge meal of things I love then a snack…

TBH I think that the argument that crap food cost less is total bull. let's take your example. You say fresh food for a family of 4 is 200 dollars a week. And a meal at McDonalds is 3$. 3 $ per meal for one person a day is 9 dollars. For a family of 4 that's 36$ a day. 36 dollars every day spend eating out for breakfast…

Personally if your sugar is elevated from fruit and not refined sugar I wouldn't worry about it. But everyone is different. I also dont worry about going over in my protein, but I do intense cardio and lift weights so I need the protein. You might not need as much. It depends on your exercise regiment. Instead of making…

This link will work: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Plese read it. It'll do nothing but help. Dont worry about your protein and sugar right now. Worry about how many calories your eating and making sure it's correct. If you keep eating as low as you are right now…

^^ This. Couldn't have said it better.

Although I think 1200 calories is WAY too low I'm not even going to go there at the moment. First off, your breakfast sounds like it's lacking anything nutritional besides the milk. You're basically eating sugar and milk. Not the healthiest thing IMHO. There's nothing wrong at all with cereal at breakfast but i would…

^^ this. I didnt start from the beginning of my weight loss and I still had to work my way up to running. I'd say work your way up and just be careful because I have some knee problems now that I think is due to running. I still run all the time but if I had been smarter from the beginning I don't think I would have had it…

Don't have new pictures since consistently upping my calories but I'll share my experience. Despite being on this site for two years and losing a good amount of weight eating low calories, I recently got really serious about my calories because I was losing and gaining the same 4 pounds for about 2 months. i was getting so…

im right around where you were when you first started MFP at 170. i really love seeing your progression and i hope i can get to where you are now! fantastic work :drinker:

Most are 60 minutes or over. There are a few that are areound 45 minutes but I dont remember anything shorter then that. I dont have pics but when I was doing it it toned me up. I think thats what made my back look so good lol.

Stop it.

Can you continue the diet you are on now for life?

LOL QFT. i live in New York and do the same :drinker:

Height: 5'6" Age/Gender: 24/Female Highest weight- around 270 lbs (I weighed in at 260 something but that was a couple weeks after I started "dieting" Current Weight- 171 Current body fat - 29% (according to my scale. wish it was lower :( ) Lowest weight- had to be a little below 140, that was in my preteens. Goal weigh-…

You realize that surgery is not a quick fix right? Even with surgery you need to work towards your goal. You can't just sit on your *kitten* and expect magic. You're having a hard day. Maybe it'll turn into a hard week or a hard month or a hard year. . It's still not an excuse. There's a lot of people on this site who have…

I think that's absoute bull****. Someone lost weight, they were proud of it, and they posted a before and after of their accomplishment. Since when is a before picture fat shaming? The person didn't want to be fat anymore and did something about it. Plain and simple. I agree that the best progress is what you CAN'T see…

bump

so many great pics! I wish this topic could go on forever LOL

Thanks guys! The pics are a little embarassing but they really show me a change!

Just meant people who were able to achieve a sculpted physique using the machines. Thanks! I def should be using the barbell more then I do.

Okay so maybe if I can find more of those full body free weight exercises I can try that instead. Thanks! If you have any suggestions or links please share!
