This, there is an excuse for everything.

I am 30 in November, so just heading out of my 20's but you can add me if you like!! :)

THIS

I agree 10000000%

Hi John! I am the same, 100%. I am very goal oriented, very organized, I like seeing everything in lists, and I like seeing what I put into my body. I think it may be a personality trait. My favorite subjects are math and science as well! I, too, am addicted to MFP lol.....Add me, I could use more friends like yourself!…

Yes, I log everything. Mostly for recipes.

^THIS! I motivate myself. You gotta be ready to do it, and not be lazy/ half arsed. I am not saying you are, just making a general statement that it IS hardwork and you have to be 100% dedicated, motivated and ready to make a change for LIFE. Good luck.

i have 5 tbsp egg whites with red peppers and mushrooms, sometimes i will toss in some grated cheese. I also have 1 serving of oatmeal, too, though to fill me up more.

Right here, baby! BARRIE ONTARIO!!!! Add me, my fellow Canadians!

I'm in Canada. It's 43 degrees Celcius here. YUCK

I'm actually curious about this. I'm starting a weight lifting program and was reading I should take protein shakes but I'm not sure if I should, doesn't old fashioned protein in food do the same thing? Build muscle?

This! Make a goal and work towards it and you'll do great. Weight loss is not an overnight thing. I'm sure it's taken you ages to put on. Like in pregnancy it takes 9 months to put on the weight, it's going to take that long if not more to get the body you desire. 1-2 lbs per week is what's recommended. Good luck

Same!!

^^THIS.

HELLNO! Sorry for the caps but good god this drives me nuts when ppl log cleaning as exercise. If you didn't jump on a treadmill and have an accelerated heart rate from working out then you aren't really burning any cals. Get a hrm and put it on and you'll see you barely burn anything. Others may disagree with me but its…

Thanks you, will do

Lol they were eating chips and chocolate and cookies and drinking tons of alcohol and wondering why they were gaining weight. Duh!

LOL this made me laugh. Thank you :)

Thanks everyone!!!! I am probably going to get a fitness centre membership here anyways lol it's right around the corner. I'm pretty sore from just lifting 10 lb hand weights. That's how weak I am lol thanks for the ideas. I'm going to check out that app!

Okay, thanks. I think I'll keep the bread from my diet because it makes me feel like crap, bloaty all day ugh! I also have a 50% chance of developing diabetes it runs in my family. Yikes

Ok thanks everyone.

Lol

Because he is judging me. Lol every time I eat any bread carbs they make me bloat insanely. I hate it! Even whole grain or 100% whole wheat.

I thank you for your reply but why are you saying I'm scared of carbs? I'm not! Jesus! I know you meant well but that comes across judgemental and rude to assume I am scared of carbs. I love carbs but they make me bloat excessively.

I'm not scared of carbs. I'm asking because I'm curious to finally find the answer and trying to limit carbs because they make me bloat really bad regardless of all the water and exercise i do. i find your reply pretty rude, it was fine until i read "you shouldn't be scared of them" and how did you know i didnt have some…

I've been eating most of those things. I had cauliflower and some cheese for my afternoon snack. That's where I'm struggling, my afternoon snack. Thanks, ill have to figure it out!

Hi guys, thanks for replying. My plan is to have a deficit for weight loss, Im lifting weights to gain muscle, tighten up/tone and burn more calories, I have a decent amount of protein too. So I guess I'm looking for all 4 to answer the first reply. I only eat whole grains if I do eat grains. I don't eat bread or anything…

I am also on daily :-) BUMP

Nobody? Where are all the critics!!
