Thanks. The scale method sounds easier than what I have been doing with a tablespoon and a spatula :-)

Question: So do you put your salad on a scale, tare it and then pour on dressing so you know the weight of the dressing? I have been using a tablespoon to measure.

Thanks for your post; you are inspiring! And your 110 pounds loss is wonderful. Well done!

Yes

Good job! Fun photos :-)

Thought this thread was going to be about how long do you wait after sex before going to sleep.

hahahahaha

Like fellow poster LeeShults, I am wondering how I got to be my age! (56) It has been work accepting the changes. I used to walk to work each day, then developed tendonosis in both my Achilles (ouch). Better now but, instead I get exercise on an elliptical, hoping to avoid a relapse. Adjustments will be made, as required…

When I was returning from the gym this morning, my neighbor who was out walking her dog stopped me and said, "you've lost weight!" I didn't think it was noticeable to casual observation.

People here usually suggest: to get a food scale and weigh all of your food to make sure you are accurately logging your intake; and to be patient because weight loss is not linear (usually there are ups and downs); and to weigh yourself under the same conditions every time eg. once weekly, naked first thing in the morning…

Nice shoulders, arms and abs! I am so glad you posted this because I don't plan to lift heavy but I want definition in my arms, like yours. Thanks! You look inspiring!

Windsurf! :love:

Hi Mike, that was my response to my weight at 213.9 too! Sending friend request.

Helpful!

It's been a pleasure and an inspiration reading all of these. I want to quote each one and say "Well done!" This morning I found I am unbelievably down four pants sizes. I bought those pants as a far away goal and I am astonished it is done; and now having seen your successes, I am setting new goals of doing a pull-up…

Just wanted to quote this post because it is so sweet. :drinker:

sorry to post the obvious- have you thought of nonfat Greek yogurt 23g of protein per cup, 130 calories, 0 fat

My former boss, when insulted used to say THANK you! with such emphasis and with a genuine smile, it made clear the insult was rude, but at the same time he came across good humored.

Yes, it looks like narcissism. Of course, confrontation on any issue is fruitless. It helps to recognize it really isn't about you, it is because of the other person's issues, which will probably continue. Another good book on the subject is "Children of the Self-Absorbed A Grownup's Guide to Getting Over Narcissistic…

Also this, really good advice, another quote from an MFP member: QUOTE: 1. don't trust the initial setup that MFP provides. If you put in the wrong/inaccurate information, it'll tell you to eat an amount that may not be applicable. 2. Make sure you eat enough. 3. Figure out what works for you and is…

Maybe it will help if you read this thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

Hi there, I am 5'8.5" and though I initially gained 10 pounds after joining MFP because I didn't log or participate, have cleaned up my act and recently lost 23 of the 86 I want to lose. Hoping we all keep going strong over the long haul. Welcome to add me :smile:

There are some good thoughts and good attitudes here :-)

I want to play too!

I used to do that, a sugar-free protein shake (Muscle Milk) for breakfast because it was convenient. Since you are eating nutritious dinners, and if you log all of the macros for the shake and they help you fill your nutrition needs, then it seems like an acceptable solution, as is the other suggestion (make something…
