Clearly some people in this thread that are trying to come across as smart are missing the entire point. *smh*

I don't wipe down before unless it's REALLY wet (so I'm not sitting in a puddle), because I honestly don't give a crap if the person before me was dirty. I'll be taking a shower afterwards anyway. But I do wipe down after because it seems the polite thing to do. I'd say if you feel like you have to say something, say it to…

Welcome to MFP! Great place with lots of answers to your questions already on the board. Just poke around or use the search feature and you'll find 'em. Feel free to add me if you want a buddy. :)

I got a digital postage scale. It does ounces and grams so you don't have to convert in your head. :-) That's all you really need!

But do you live on 800 cals per day? You'd increase your weight loss by doing that, but it's not the best, most efficient, or healthiest way to do that. I'm glad working the same muscle groups on consecutive days has worked for you. It's not the best, most efficient or healthiest way to incorporate pushups in to your…

You CAN, but if you're trying to get stronger by building muscle, you SHOULDN'T. Muscle grows during periods of rest after periods of usage. Apparently it's a good thing you asked, since some people seem to be incorrect in their thinking.

I'm not fit yet, but I like to go to the park and walk or hike, roller skate, indoor rock climb and go bowling! Most people I see out are fit, so I'm guess those are some thing you might be able to do.

Just got back from a cruise too. The only good thing about the food is that it isn't as good as home, so you can't eat as much as you would otherwise! The food on shore, though--that's a whole other story.

I honestly don't know the answer to your question, but my leaning is toward: not necessarily. The only thing I can say is even though you share almost every bit of DNA, you are different people and your bodies can and will react and work differently. Unless you're identical twins (which you aren't), you have to expect and…

That's really awesome! I wonder about the balancing act myself.

Amen to that ^. The idea of love means compromise. You're not saying everyone should eat organic tofu with almond milk. You're just saying, let's choose some place we can all find a good meal. I don't really have a suggestion, besides being around people like that as little as possible. When you have to be with them, plan…

truly awesome. good work squid

It doesn't matter from a digestion/calorie POV. It only matters if you have reflux and indigestion.

kaja, they must not let you onto airplanes, cause you're smokin'!

So I can't do it professionally after I lose 100lbs? :-( 105?

double post

Welcome, tlanasa! It starts with logging in everyday and keeping track of what you eat. :-) Good luck!

I think you need to lay off the scale for a while. But more importantly, take it easy and stop eating crap. ;-)

Whenever you have this issue go to: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ or http://www.downornot.com/ :-)

That's awesome! I need some encouragement like that. :happy:

If you are pregnant, I'd talk to your OB before changing (or stopping) anything with regards to nutrition. Just to be safe!

You've come a long way! Your before and after to vastly different.

I've always wondered about his skates. I'm intrigued!

that's kind of nasty. :noway:

I'm all about the breakfast sandwich... but this speaks to me! Love PB and waffles together. I was camping this weekend. Made myself a short stack, cut up a banana, added a little cinnamon--heaven!

True, I didn't look at your % since you indicated you were worried about carbs and fats. You don't need the whey protein, you're already at the top of the healthy range for protein.

Celestial Seasonings??? I remember in 11th grade I had this AP US History book that I would fall asleep while reading. Didn't matter what time of day, whether I was at a desk or not, or how much sleep I was getting (7+ hours)..... Oh, I also fell asleep reading about Rip Van Winkle at 4 in the afternoon at my desk. lol

I think you may be confused. As you exercise and get additional calories to consume, you get the same percentage of carbs:protein:fat. So you won't go over, because you get more. Or maybe I'm confused by what you meant. I think you may just need an extra snack in there. Additionally, you could double that peanut butter.…

give it to your puppies ;-)

Done! Putting a link on my blog too.
