I think you are probably ok, but if he brought it up out of the blue, I would wonder what sort of drama he is trying to cause.

Disclaimer: I may be in a crabby mood. I used to do those aquafit classes at LA Fitness with all the "senior citizens" in my 20's. Suck it up. They are old enough and mature enough not to judge or care what you look like. Or just wait until they are gone and do laps with the old creepy guys. It's your choice, but I feel…

Can I just note that my local news, after reporting on this story, then went on to discuss foods that will boost your metabolism. first on the list? Green tea. Freaking media...

I never thought I would be yelling at the tv at the local news when they run stories about the latest diet pills/crazes. YOU FOOLS!

Started at 327 and now am going between 297-301ish. Maybe we can motivate each other! Looking to see the 290s soon I hope, but let my diet/exercise slip. :grumble: Feel free to add me!

You are doing so much more than other people in your situation do: going to school, teenagers and a special needs kid, You are a bada$$. You can do this for sure. Start small and you'll end up small. :wink: You need some people that can just talk you through your defeatist moments. We all get that way sometimes. I sent you…

I usually pick protein over fiber. I think it helps more in the long run.

ok, so clearly you have gotten a lot of replies already, but i just wanted to share my perspective from the daughter's point of view. I went 3 seperate times to WW with my mom. Partially for her and partially for me. After a while we both gave up with showing up and the weight not coming off anymore (and frankly some of…

Also, if you don't mind weird looks from other drivers, I would recommend getting groovy with some music at the stop lights. uses the arms and abs.

lunges when you get up to go to fax or printer. I did just bring those 3 lb weights to work and use them at my desk when I am researching (and thus do not need both arms). goal is to have some pretty awesome triceps by summer (in Phoenix, which is like, late March? LOL) :bigsmile:

I would agree with those who say try elimination. Luckily, I do not have the bloating problem, but I have one friend who had bloating relatd to gluten and another whose bloating was related to a gall bladder/liver issue. If you've already seen a doctor, I would personally assume the gluten/dairy.

I don't have any cookbooks in mind, but if you look on the health and fitness boards on Pinterest, they link to a lot of good recipies!

I think MFP sets the sugar limit too low. As long as you are eating sugars from fruits and such, I would not worry about that. Please eat your 1200 calories and perhaps fit in a high protein/high fiber meal shake in there? That may help the hunger pangs.

I am dying laughing and I am out. sorry! I woot all over the place.

I was actually just thinking if you added a 100 calorie snack between lunch and dinner?

Hoping for a FitBit for my birthday, so bumping this. Thanks, Baldheadracin!

OK. So I am CLEARLY late to this party, but wanted to give you kudos for removing what are apparently trigger foods for you and your buddy. Keep going strong!

Am sending FR. 30 pounds in going from about 330 to 150ish... :)

I had this on my pinterest, but here's the link to the site... http://blog.womenshealthmag.com/scoop/protein-sources/?cm_mmc=Facebook-_-womenshealth-_-content-scoop-_-ProteinSources

i like the ensure high protein if you are in a pinch and have to grab something. 25g protein, 23g carbs, 5g sugars. I usually drink it for lunch to keep me full until dinner. :drinker:

I <3 you guys. :blushing: I am checking out the reviews on Amazon and put some on the wish list. Will let you know what i find!

There was sparring in the class, so please stop being all preachy about what is "real" and what is not. If you were not going to contribute helpfully, I am not sure why you commented at all.

Three Things I want to say: 1. ((((((((HUGS!))))))))) You look awesome. DON'T STOP. Go back to that gym and if you see those girls again flip them the bird and keep going. 2. It reminded me of this: "Great Minds Discuss Ideas, Average Minds Discuss Events, Small Minds Discuss People". (Elenor Roosevelt) 3. Thank you for…

LOL. I have a pinterest board like that...:bigsmile:

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Smartest Man in the World (Greg Proops) or Judge John Hodgeman. I also adore This American Life and Freakonomics Radio. I like to listen to them when the local talk radio gets too preachy.

Personally, not for/against surgery in general - I think it's a very specific choice best left to the inidividual and their doctor. I am concerned, given the risks, that it is a choice made sometimes without taking them fully into consideration or based on social/promotional pressures. [/quote] ^This. I have a very close…

i would recommend aqua aerobics of some sort.

This thread needs "like" buttons. :bigsmile: I almost spit out my yogurt I was so amused.

I made my hubby go with me to the dr and he has been much more supportive now than when i was on WW. He even dug out the food scale so we can weigh what goes on my plate. :love:

I quit smoking before I started here and gained about 20 lbs. :angry: When i did quit last April though, I did it cold turkey and had a pretty rough week. I walked when i felt like smoking or anxious though and got through it. My BFF quit like a week before I did so we would send each other supportive emails and stuff…
