It doesn't matter. Do whatever works best for you. If you feel better working out in the morning - do it in the morning. If you are a night owl and prefer to do it at night - do it at night. There is no benefit metabolically speaking to time of day.

I'd go with what everybody else is saying - work on toning. Yoga or Pilates should help give you a long lean look. I wouldn't think you should lose any more weight - since you are at a healthy weight now.

Hmm - I'm guessing I'm the only one who thought this thread was about a baby burping cloth. Now that I knwo what they are - why in the world are they called burpees? Do they make you burp?

Thanks :) And nope - no pregnant lady pee taken here. :P

HAHA you just made me lol!!

Quote didn't do right -trying again.

Looked at your diary - if you are hungry - eat some of your exercise calories! Simple as that. You don't have to eat all of them - but it looks like you have a lot of calories left over every day - eat some of them if you're hungry.

bump :P

Thank you for saying this - I have PCOS too - and while I don't blame my weight on it - I do agree its not something caused by my weight - but it is worsened by weight gain. I had my first symptoms of PCOS when I was a kid - and I wasn't overweight. I didn't fully understand PCOS until a few years ago when I was given a…

I agree!!

I've done it plenty of times. I wouldn't recommend doing it every day simply b/c - well who likes to go hungry all day every day? I won't fast all day - just eat very light and earn some exercise calories beforehand. I find that the hungrier I am before that splurge meal - the better it tastes and the more satisfying it…

New clothes sound like the best reward I can think of! Enjoy!!

I've had dreams that I've totally pigged out and then started feeling really guilty about it like I screwed everything up. But then I wake up and everything's ok. It's pretty rare I have these dreams though.

I'm a two-piece-chewer too. I mean, I won't freak out if I only get to chew one piece, but generally I prefer to chew two.

If it's just one or two pieces I don't count them either. But when they first came out with Trident Layers - I found myself chewing through an entire pack in one day - I'd chew a piece until it lost its flavor, and swap it out for another - and that is what made me ponder the issue in the first place. A 12 piece pack would…

:) If this makes us crazy - well I'm pretty sure we aren't the only ones.

HAHAHAHAHA SO funny you ask this question. I asked this very same question at work one day about a year ago - and noone had the answer. And they all thought I was a little nutty for even asking - but it made them scratch their heads too. It's a multi-faceted question. 1. If you don't swallow the gum, does it still count as…

Wow you look great - what an awesome change! Keep up the good work - I know you will!

Thank you so much - I really needed that boost!! Have a great Thursday!!

Starting - Ginormous Current - Not as ginormous Goal - 30 something?? Needless to say I haven't measured in a while.

i do it too - that's why they're there - for people to look at. Perfectly normal )

Hooooray!!! Way to go! And you can shout all you want - you earned it!

I was pretty young in the 80s - so my main memories were Care Bears, Heman and Sheera Princess of Power, The Smurfs, The skirts with all those layers and ruffles (which have strangely made a come back), poofy sleeved wedding dresses, big hair, Prince, and Madonna!

Happy to say - i'm 22 pounds down since i made this post - and those pants are LOOSE!!! THANKS MFP!!!! THANKS EVERYBODY for support and encouragement!!

My cousin and I were just pondering this same question - we figured since it takes so much more effort to exercise in the heat - surely it must burn more, but we weren't certain. Glad to see some answers on this :)

Bought smaller bra. (again)

A sliced up cucumber.quite filling and very few cals. Egg white sandwich - 2 or 3 egg whites fried in a pan, toast a 100 cal thin loaf or a 110 cal bagel thin -yummy, filling and about 150 to 170 cals. eat with water and you're good to go.

5'7" large frame, current weight 230 - want to weigh 160 - maybe 150 but probably no less than that.

You look fantastic!

Yep it happens. But the main thing is NEVER quit - and I mean NEVER. Whether you have a bad day, a bad week, or even a bad month (trust me - been there, done that) if you absolutely commit to NEVER quit - you can succeed. Even if you gain a tad back - if you always know in your heart that you are NOT quitting - you will…
