I don't understand how it can possibly be easier to exercise the sheer amount of willpower required to control another human being's behavior, or maintain any sort of relationship with the skewed perspective where that even makes sense, vs. the amount of control simply not to put something in your mouth. The sad part is…

Feasting is a common form of celebration in many cultures. Would be better to ask about Mardis Gras :p

Not exactly, though I do have an emergency contingency in my maintenance plan (not there yet) that triggers at certain size or weight thresholds; and you can bet that if that happens I'll be counting again.

Yay you :)

Will definitely log - I log partially for accountability and partially for tracking purposes, and the tracking is still valuable. But if I come in at less than 3k calories I'll be sad :(

Perspective is also an alternative. Feast with your family; celebrate. Don't eat just because it's there, but don't pretend the 3 big feasts a year really impact your health plan.

For me it was hip flexibility, but practice alone improved it quite a bit before I found yoga.

Starting strength was a great choice for me, though I hate to admit I was terrified of hurting my knees. I just upped my squat weight more slowly; roughly 10 lbs every week. Starting with no weights for the first week, and then bar for the next. I still spend a LOT of time on my initial warmup, but I don't feel pain at all…

Not exactly what you asked, because you'll find every possible answer on this site and on the net. Ultimately, it's up to you what you'll believe and follow. I will add this - running is something that everyone believes they know how to do, but it's DEFINITELY a skill activity, like building a desk or swimming. Make sure…

Definitely; I only get my grandmother's dressing (although my sister makes it now) twice a year, I'm definitely not going to skimp. I've bust my *kitten* 90% of the time, I'm definitely not going to skimp on the three days a year I get my whole family together to feast. That said, I'm going to fast the day before and…

The only thing worse than a 1200 calorie diet are vaccinations!!!! Aaaaanddd.... FIGHT!!! <popcorn>

I weigh several times a day, but I only record losses. It's fairly useful for me to see the impact of my weekends so I can know exactly how something is going to affect my weight loss; that way I can know for sure what is worth it. I generally use the beginning of the work week to try and drop water weight ( I don't…

OP, you need to get sassy with yourself and get back on it!

Any nut, especially mixed nuts. Oh, and pizza.

Lost 103 since July 2012, but the majority of that (60ish) since the beginning of August 2013. Still have quite a ways to go.

Dump him. He doesn't deserve you. (I know I jumped the gun but I'm a giver !)

As my weight increased I had to sneak in cardio after my lifting or there was no way I could recover in time for my next lifting session. But it definitely impacted the quality of my workout.

I'd go after 4 hours like the commercial says.

them punks like to hit it and quit it And I'd rather stay and play

bro do you even lift?

Did you drink your gummi berry juice? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW2NuxOC8fU

It's an estimate but yes, but it's not daily. If you eat around 500 calories over what you burn a day for 7 days, you can expect to gain a pound. Just like eating 500 calories under what you burn every day will likely lose a lb over a week. It's not quite that simple, but it's close enough to work.

Your husband is really bad at the internet. I know, not really pertinent, but damn - paying for porn and not clearing internet history? I'm kind of ashamed of my sex here. Also, you people really, really need to 1) lighten up and 2) read the definition of addiction a few times. And, for the OP - You had a very legit issue…

beets and rutabaga. and coconut.

Is anyone else totally thrown off because there's three items under ingredients? Just me? Okay, carry on.

ME TOO! [/quote] Mine has to end in 0/5. so weird; I didn't even know I did that until my sister pointed it out recently last time I went home, but honestly now I know why I prefer the lines and not the numbers.

I most often wonder "Why is your selfie pick of you in your car. In the driver seat. I don't UNDERSTAND! THERE ARE SO MANY!!!!"

Happens to everyone - good vent, now it's simply time to get back to work :) Good luck!

Somehow on fast day I always end up watching chopped or top chef marathons. I'm such a moron.
