My ignorance kept me bliss.... Do servers eat the food off my plate? (Is before or after I'm done with it?) :huh:

H.C.G. Good work on that. I like it. For me the devil is in the details. Healthy eating can be tricky. I had to re-learn that the foods that were "healthy" weren't (e.g. diet foods, diet soda, etc.) Constant movement is increasing; its a work in progress. Mostly it is doing more chores, getting into more hobbies that…

It could be the Ghrelin monster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghrelin Our bodies produce this hormone which promotes hunger; and prevents us from starving. Once the ghrelin hits a certain level, we tend to binge; well I know I do. However, the good news is that it can be kept at bay by "grazing" throughout the day. Eat…

People, in general, and especially friends are far more understanding than we give them credit. Remain strong, in the end they will admire you for your commitment, conviction and efforts.

Welcome back. Similar situation here as well. Started in Feb '11, lost a lot of weight. Maintained the loss during the summer, gain about 5 to 10 lbs back in the past month or so (pizza and donuts, yum-yum). Wife and I are recommitting ourselves as of Nov 1st. Add me if you wish.

Agreed! Plan ahead and work it into your goals. As long as you don't over do it; you burn it off in other ways. I think you should go for it. On the other hand, if I was your coach and you were in training. Then I would ask you to defer that until the end of the season. LIVE LIFE and ENJOY IT

When I was a kids, I watched History of the World Part I so many times; we thought we would wear out the laser disc. (doh that dated me) His movies are full of one-liners.... One that comes to mind which I don't has been mentioned yet. Towards the end of Space Balls Ape #1: [as the Spaceballs and what is left of Mega Maid…

darn was thinking of left overs from a restaurant. were you not scared when you first tried kickboxing? imagine yourself 6 months from now....gaining 5+ months of experience at the gym.... you've already gotten over your nerves, you feel like you belong there...in that environment and with that crowd.... I say go for it.

Just run. Your body will acclimate.

Very very nice. You go girl. Keep in mind you're doing what most people only wish that they can do. Lose 30 lbs or more.

Stress will do it. Lack of sleep really sucks. They say, getting over sleep deprivation takes weeks of restful sleep. So nip this in the bud and take care of yourself! Look into stress management techniques (e.g. mindless/relaxing hobby, going for a jog/run, etc.) Do you have a plan? Having a plan helps with reducing…

I can relate. For me, its about "growing up" and taking responsibility (which means, the ability to choose our response). Far too often have I sought the "immediate satisfaction", whether it be going out to a dinner, buying a new electronic gadget, or basically choosing something for instant gratification over something…

Slap the horns off and throw it on a plate. Enjoy my steak bloody. Savoring the "spirit" of the meat.

Enjoyed it on some many levels. Thank You!

Sugar is in EVERYTHING.... (that I eat *smirk*) Breaking the sugar addiction is hard. Cutting out more sugar than I already have would be a culture shock to my system and lifestyle. Admitted, not the best for me. Need advice on weening myself from current habits to healthier habits.

47! calories.... whoopie doo The good thing is that you are conscious of your calories. But put it into perspective. 47 Calories for one day in the entire week is hardly noticeable. When you're shooting for your goal, are you trying to lose 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 pounds per week? What I like about MFP is that it applies a…

Okay, imagine its Saturday evening of November 19th. On this morning you had either participated in a 5k; or like the year before you haven't. It could be just another Saturday night like countless of other Saturday nights like before. Or, on this evening you feel a sense of accomplishment for meeting up to a challenge. On…

bump The weather is cooler, need to break out the slow cooker. I like the idea of slow cooking a soup on the weekend and preparing meals ahead of time.

Calories burned are calculated on several factors. So keep that in mind. For me, I've found another reason to love tennis. Playing for 90 minutes, "General Tennis" will give me about 1,190. If I play a match of single's tennis, its more. Once had a match last season that had a lot of deuce points and went on for three…

Of course; that's one of the great things about working out in the privacy of your humble abode.

With cardio; its best to work in 15 to 30 minutes of warm up time to get your heart rate up The benefits from cardio workouts come from keeping your heart rate up within your target zone for a period of time. Obviously the longer the better.

"To each their own..." may sound cliché but it does hold some truth. That machine works for him. Perhaps its just not your thing. I'm only guessing that because I read the word "HATE" three times :tongue: So ask yourself, if that elliptical machine did not exist in your house. What could you see yourself doing for a good…

As for abbreviated phrases. I thought words such as "GR8" or "L8TR" was clever on vanity license plates. It was kind of nice to read them in traffic. Sometimes you would see one that was a bit tricky to read; and figuring out what the owner was trying to convey became a mental game of sorts. I am also okay with the proper…

You are absolutely right and I agree with you. Unfortunately, I fear far too few of us feel this way about our language. Let's be honest, how often have you witnessed any of the following: ► Someone saying, "Oh, you know what I mean..." ► People circling back to the sender of the email asking for further clarification…

125 / 170 is approximately 0.74 This is easily punched into your favorite calculator. Or, if you don't have a calculator, goto Google.com Enter in the search, 125 / 170.... you'll see that the first result shows the answer (Google's built-in calculator). Hope that helps.

Dizzy, tunnel vision.... GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!!! Don't be alarmed...its very common...I get them too. Usually caused by the change of body position from a slouching/sitting position to a quick vertical position. Kind of get a blood rush to the brain, momentarily. Its common, but definitely something that should be checked…
