Indeed! Bladder DOMS is the worst! ;)

Is it possible he has issues with feeling adequate? Many men struggle with insecurities. The sexual act can create pressure for a man to be "up to the task" that perhaps he is afraid of the feeling of not "doing it right". I don't know your relationship or him personally of course. When you have sex alone there is no…

Welcome! Glad you are here:) Getting started is SO hard but as excruciating as beginning exercising is---it is amazing when you begin to feel better at it. Give yourself permission to go very slow in the beginning. Celebrate every little achievement. Gaining any momentum you can is the goal. You can do it!!!

Glad you are ready. My first tip is would be to just commit to log EVERYTHING as accurately as you can. Even when you over do it...logging the food helps you take control when a binge is underway. Second tip: Don't worry about 12 weeks of anything really. Weigh loss happens when one day at a time. You can't control the…

Yes indeed! Well done:)

Truthfully my old habits were to eat about 2000 cals during the day and then about 3000-4000 cals after everyone in the house was in bed. That obviously is a problem. I have found that in general if you keep your caloric intake in range that the weightloss will commence regardless of when you consume the calories. However,…

Dang you beat me too it. I too will be glad to see em go, lol

You know I totally understand the natural desire to be liked by other people. I really do. It is human nature to desire approval. That's how we start in life, seeking our parents approval. Now that I am grown I have discovered the tremendous danger in leaning on the approval of others. The problem with people is that you…

Tell me about it! You can be killing it in the gym and you won't do anything if good you don't match it with a quality nutrition plan.

Probably 4000-5000....and some days more. I am so grateful for MFP!!!

WOW! It is uncanny how we have had virtually identical experiences and yet I am often unable to put them into accurately portray them. Thank you for taking the time to share your story here and put into words what i have often felt. My starting weight is 477. I am a bit shorter than you and have had to purchase 72 size…

My heart goes out to you. I have experienced things similar to that and have felt that society doesn't want me. I have found this to be a figment of my paranoia at times and at other times i have been correct. Some people are jacka$$ morons and are a waste of air. The best thing I can do and I suggest to you is remember…

Just a quick follow up. Everything worked out just fine. I weighed in when I was supposed to and had no gain/no loss. This week I weighed in and lost 8 lbs. It's an awful reality that my emotional balance is so fragile. I KNOW in my head that if I just stay true to the plan, eat right, exercise integrity in my log entries…

Hey ya'll! I am Glen. SW-477, CW-429, GW-190. I am new to the group. I am 38 yrs old, married to a hot and sweet woman and have 2 outstanding young boys that I am so proud of! I am starting a new job in 2 weeks and am very grateful as I have been out of work for a few months. I have been using MFP for about 2 and a half…

I have found that a simple piece of fruit with a serving of natural almonds (no salt) make a satisfying upgrade to the fruit snack.

Done!

Wow! Congrats on your progress Kimmy:) "I am my best friend or my own worst enemy". Ironically, I said that to a friend just the other day. I totally get where you are coming from. My profound ability to come up with excuses is just a lousy super power to have. I try to use those powers to constantly think of reasons TO…

I am new to this group and looking for connection and encouragement. SW: 475 GW: 190 CW: 462

Love this. Great Tips and Commentary!
