Spanx are my personal hell. No size fits and they really just smush all of my fat from one place to another. Especially those ones that are like weird shorts. So instead of having fat at the top of your thighs, now all of your fat is around your knees and you look like a homemade sausage. Attractive. I actually bought some…

OP, It's not worth it. Results people experience from the 21-Day-Fix are minimal to average. As another poster mentioned of the loss of 3-pounds, that's great.... but it averages to be 1 pound a week. SUPER do-able by utilizing MFP. Honestly, you can experience the very same successes by doing a bit of research on basic…

I'd like my fat cells to mobilize and grab me a beer.

From the website: Bolded the most ridiculous parts. Why do people insist on these ridiculous, nonsensical schemes? Why can't working out, accurately weighing/measuring and logging your food just be enough? *stomps off and mutters about kids these days*

You really only need a calorie deficit. Create a deficit and you lose weight. Again. Stickies.
-
OP, don't complicate things. Weight loss is actually quite simple. As another poster suggested, read the stickies. You're going to find a lot of varying advice with some incredibly knowledgeable members of MFP. READ THE STICKIES. Here's a post that LITERALLY LISTS ALL OF THE STICKIES IN ONE SPOT. It is legit the laziest…

Cilantro/lime dressings are my favorites. You can use lime juice/vinegar and olive oil for a vinaigrette or add about a cup of cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, a clove or two of minced garlic and a 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt to a blender and drizzle in 1/4 c. of olive oil to bring it all together. Season with salt…

Do you find yourself not eating healthy when you're eating out, on vacation, or at work? There can be a bit of a difference between these, so knowing exactly what you're struggling with might be helpful. For me, no matter where I am, it's all about planning. If I'm going on vacation, I make sure to grocery shop when I get…

Yeah this is pretty much what I do. And if I end up nomming on something, I try not to feel too guilty. I log it and move on. It's just one day in a series of many, many more.

I have a cattle dog... she's a great walking and running partner. Although while we're out, if she sees another small animal she's more interested in herding it and will run in front of me....which invariably causes me to practically trip over her so that I look like a damn spaz. Also...obligatory picture of the Wonderdog…

In other news...I think I might get some pie.

OP, No. Dear God, No. Don't waste your money or your time. If you're looking for abs, check this out: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach#latest

Coincidentally, I have a neighbor who will put a leash on her cat and try to walk it. I see her all the time trying to get the cat to walk with her or her yelling at the cat to get down after it has climbed up a tree.

As a former chef and big ole fan of giving knowledge to the masses, I'm glad you're doing this OP. Overall, really good advice. :)

Aspartame isn't toxic. Stop with the fear mongering. OP, I drink a Coke Zero a day...sometimes two. And sometimes I'll throw in some rum with Diet Coke if I'm feeling frisky. I regularly brush my teeth and floss (granted I probably floss less than my dentist would like to see), but I've never had a cavity, the enamel on my…

OP Welcome! A great resource for your to check out is : http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants#latest It's a bit long, but it is a great great resource and will answer virtually all of the questions you have. A few recommendations:* Unless you have a…

Uh. What? You lost me at "pills" and "cleanse"....what exactly are you cleansing and why are you taking pills? You could save yourself the time, money and effort and.. I dunno... do something that has been proven to work over and over again.

I guess I'm just entirely too laid back or none of this bothers me when I'm in the gym. Sometimes I'm that person on the bench on Facebook but it's because I'm in between sets. If someone asks me if they can slide in, no problem. If someone's using a machine I need or is in the middle of killing it on the squat rack, I'll…

If I'm eating Chipotle I make it a point to use their nutrition info on their website and log the entire bowl. I have zero willpower and will snarf down a huge bowl with no problem. Honestly, it doesn't bother me since I make sure to make room for it in my diet and I've never had an issue weighing in the week after I've…
-
Wait. What? What in the chocolate covered Peep Cleanse am I reading?!?!
-
I think mine would be giant Chipotle Bowls, beer, Swiss Cake Rolls, and scads of Lucky Charms. And Crab Rangoon. And fried chicken. And Poutine. Nom nom.

I was Paleo a few years ago and my days were way beyond above 800-900 calories. I ended up ditching it because it wasn't sustainable and didn't need to follow a restricted diet (and I couldn't both pay my rent and buy grass fed steak). A few questions, OP: - Why are you following a Paleo diet? - What guidelines are you…
-
Besides the bolded point about being "stored as fat" as being completely false, 1500 calories is 1500 calories. No one on MFP ever advocates for eating a diet solely of candy and bread/rice; however, if you chose to eat 1500 calories of bread/rice and candy, as long as your CI<CO, you will lose weight. Granted, this also…

Pinterest has been my friend... along with some google searches. But for us, it's going to be (in no particular order): -Chili -Chicken Fajitas -Strombolis -Steak -Meatzas

Don't apologize, OP. Sometimes you'll find the most supportive people are people who don't know you at all. I've found that strangers are sometimes the easiest for me to talk to as I can be completely honest with them. I know you've said that you've been on medication and you have been in counselling, but have you tried…

Congratulations on your two additional flags for that post. It would appear as though you have a couple of fans ;)

100 grams of bacon!??!?! What is this madness?

I like how you got flagged for pointing out what was said reinforcing your own statements. Never change, MFP.

Mondays.. amirite?
