LOL! John!! I get that!!

I felt better the first day I started. Very much! I look forward to my swim days!! And I get very cranky when I miss them. I had to miss Tuesday because of knee injury and bronchitis. I let my knee rest over night and said to hell with the bronchitis and went Wednesday and Thursday. I just did not want to skip.

I took coconut oil daily, and had for years. However, it's never once helped me to lose weight. In fact, it added to my calorie intake daily. 20 calories each time. So, I'd say no. I didn't take it for that though. I took it because I have lupus, and it helped with my skin issues, my hair, and my nails. HOWEVER, I only…

There's also an issue with the forum, threads poofing, create button keeps appearing and disappearing, sometimes the community board takes me only to "My Discussions", and the My Food and My Meals are also blank.

Nevermind. I found a full thread of people in the same boat with me. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10089631/search-engine-not-working

:p I admit, I laughed at myself when I realized what was going on. LOL

He left so much hair in my sink, I could make a wig for a beardless man's face.

LOL!!! Funny replies!

I think the question to ask is, what caused you to give up in the first place. Find that moment and acknowledge it, then you will know that when you see it coming again, you can be ready to fight that failure. You get what I'm saying here?

This is so inspiring and amazing. It made me a little teary eyed, because I've started and failed 999 times too. I'm trying again, and really pushing myself to do my best. I'm upping the antes here because I've lived in a 350sqft space for the past 7 years now, and had (literally) no where to go in such a tiny place. We're…

I rather liked this one... though, I wish I'd have smiled. LOL Back before the silver hairs started to come through and gleam with all the wisdom I hold inside (haha!) And then below.... I don't know why, but my husband absolutely adores this photo and has it framed on his desk at work for all to see. Oh, the…

I laughed so hard at some of the initial replies in the start of the thread, because I was thinking the same thing... a bed full of pizza and ice cream - and woke up less fat? Hmm?? LOL! And I can also lose up to and gain up to 2 lbs in a single day, depending on how well my body handled the sodium of my previous meal. It…

I'll risk being the oddball here and just say, no. LOL! I really don't. When I workout, I am tired afterward and want to relax. My husband is the very same way (thank goodness, because as much as I absolutely adore him, I'd be icked out if he come at me with his sweaty-ness ROFL!).

Building muscle can add weight... burning fat loses weight. Between the two, sometimes it's hard to see a loss happening. So - try measuring your chest, thighs, upper arms, hips, waist, and neck. Then go back in 2-4 weeks and measure again. This is a great way to see change happening, even if weight isn't really showing…

You read correctly, I struggle with both sides. And studies are made through generalized results based on a group of people. I was not in that group of people. Therefore, I don't fit into the mold that study so neatly popped out for the world to gobble up as gospel. Eat less doesn't always mean eating fewer calories. You…

I disagree with both your original post and this comment. I am obese. I do not eat over my daily calorie. In fact, it's extremely hard for me to meet my daily recommended calories because I dislike eating so very very much. It's a PITA, in my opinion. I have other things I'd rather be doing than grocery shopping, planning…

1) How old are the people in your home that you are feeding on this $30 a week. 2) Please post the meal plan in detail for us, for that week's worth of meals and include breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 3) Are you using coupons, clearances, and/or sales? 4) Please post if items in your meal plan are store brand, on brand,…

Another youngin'... calling the kettle black when they too join us here with two cents to toss into the fountain of opinions, and assuming each person here doesn't plan meals, etc.. lol! Isn't she cute? Come back to me in 10 years sweetie. I remember 24.... I was just as ignorant as you. Trust me though, something big will…

Life can change your situation in a blink of an eye, honey. My "too many kids" have always been taken care of by me, and no other. But when the $h!t hits the fan and your world gets flipped upside down in a blink of an eye, as it did for me when we lost our home in a natural disaster, you find yourself fighting to stay…

First of all, HIGH FIVE, and secondly *hugs* AMEN!!! You just said everything I was thinking of! I have FOUR kids - one is grown, married, and has a baby of her own (granted she is my step-daughter, but I put food in her belly and helped care for her, so she counts as one of my own), one 17 yr old who lives full time with…

Must be nice to look into your perfect mirror every day and think - "Gee, why can't the world be more like me? It's easy!". Here, let me paint you a different picture, sweetheart. I live in an RV, full time, with no slide outs. Gardens are not permitted here. It's the option we're stuck with until we achieve saving enough…

I had two different pedometers on (one regular click counter with an estimator in it, and one phone app with more specific measurements in it). We definitely walked 6 1/2 miles though. I mapped it out when I got home because I wasn't sure if we really did go that far, and sure enough, it is 3 and a quarter miles one way,…

Thanks all. I adjusted and all is well now. :)

I was all red yesterday. LOL! I didn't worry about it though. It was worth it and I had a nice time. My husband and I even went walking 2 miles together at the park around noon and had a wonderful time. -265 Calories; -27 Carbs; -19 Fat; -11 Sat Fat; -8 Protein; -188 Sodium

I am replying because you sound exactly like me... humor and all, and you know, I find the responses back to be mostly very helpful from some solid people who only want you to have the best time you possibly can have. I think that talk to the girl, if she were to give you a lap dance, would be a good thing. Like, just tell…

I got stuck in a pair of spanx that should have fit me. I ripped them trying to get OUT of them and honestly thought I was going to have to tell my daughter to call 911 to get me out of the spanx. My arms were trapped around my head and I was in the dressing room of a Lane Bryants. While no one was there *with* me to see,…
