Yes, go see a gynecologist and get a pelvic exam performed.

Are you now carrying on the tradition, grasshopper?

W-Whoa, wait, this is a fitness site?

This is how MFP makes the OP feel:

I don't hold onto any particular motivation so much as I hold onto perseverance. I'm going to do this, no matter what. It sucks to leave work and run 5 miles every day, but I do it because I feel fantastic and alive afterwards.

I weigh daily, but I set absolutely no time limits on when to expect weight. I beat my head on that wall enough, thank you.

You'll go blind if you keep buying bananas.

I'll hit you up in two months.

To all you newbie... hello!

I. too, am looking for someone with a Fitbit. Please leave it out in plain sight and then go do something else for a few minutes.

Direct quote from my doctor: "If you're getting sufficient protein intake, a calorie deficit will not put your body into 'starvation mode'." ETA: I've lost 46 pounds in 3.5 months. Have yet to enter 'starvation mode'.

Here's mine (and this is what happens when I find it in the fridge}:

Peanut butter sandwich. I tried eating cotton candy for breakfast, but this happened:

Not that I'm German, but "Willkommen!" to MFP... Also, look for friends that make you laugh.

Step 1, identify the dealers and avoid them:

Oh, and mission accomplished...

"Thing 1" and "Thing 2" Possibly, "Doc Brown"

If you're getting adequate protein daily, you are not starving yourself. I asked my doctor the same kind of question. This was his response.

Ahahahah! More than one meaning there, I think...

I go commando... so I avoid getting anything in a twist.

@jckratt12's point about blood sugar is a good one. Sugars from fruit are no where near the concern that sugars from refined carbs are. If it's fruit, I don't sweat it unless the calories threaten to bump me too high for the day.

I read Bob's book. Wanna know how I've lost 43 pounds? I eat less, move more, and then repeat.

Feel free to add. I do my best to keep up with my friends.

Bouncers? Hire snipers.

What temperature do you cook that and for how long?

Well played!

I started in April by doing (barely) 10 minutes (less than a mile) on an elliptical. In May, I started logging my calories here and limiting myself to 1,500 calories per day. I now do 18 miles a week on the elliptical.
