100 lbs ... can't WAIT to join you. And I will. :) Thanks for sharing!
-
Yes! Insanely great attitude, good practical tips. No wonder you got this thing down. :) Rock on, man.
-
Yowsah -- will of iron! Good job. That'd be a tough one for me. :)
-
Look at you! Feels amazing, huh? :) Seriously -- great job, great commitment. Go, you!

Sounds good to me. Good plan to remove the skin first. I tend to get them from the grocery store sometimes ('cuz they're so dang easy), and those tend to have pretty high sodium. If "flexing a bird" means you're fixing it yourself (I'm so not hip), you can control that big-time. Tortillas and fresh salsa sound great.…

Way (WAY) back in college, I worked at a Coca-Cola bottling plant, and one of the perks was two cases of 6-packs a week. Yeah: that's 48 12-oz cans EVERY WEEK. It wasn't hard to get hooked on the stuff, and I absolutely did -- and on the real thing, not diet. I drank liters (plural) of it every day for years and years ...…

Boy, I SO needed to read this today! Your pix are great, but for me, the words are better. :) Great attitude = great success. Thanks for sharing ... forward we go!
-
Great story, insanely great attitude. Thanks for sharing. Forward we go!
-
Too cool. Insanely great attitude, too. You win (and on so many levels). Thanks for sharing!

Boy, if *I* was running/walking for 30 minutes, my heart rate would be off the charts. :) torregro has some good advice re: double-checking your HRM's accuracy. Think I'll be checking mine here before long, too.
-
forgive me if i missed it ... but what did your heart rate get up to during your workout? and about how long would you say it stayed there?
-
Insanely great! Good job.
-
Sweet. Yeah, it IS motivational, so thanks for sharing. And back at you on the whole support thing, soldier. Thanks for that, too.
-
Insanely great! I've a ways to go yet, but I can't wait to join you. :) Good for you!
-
Yeesh. What a tool. So ... think about taking it as a challenge instead. Show that eejit who's who's strong, smart, and able to take control of her own destiny? That ought to shut him up but good. Plus, you're gonna feel amazing when you get there (but you already know that, right?). :) Stay the course. You can do this!
-
Ah, the joy of hitting double digits. :) Good for you! Forward we go.
-
The thing I love most in your post are the last three words: "only for now". That's the spirit! I love it that you're not "hoping to make it this time" or "wishing that MFP will get you there" or asking for "luck". Those things are fine, of course ... they just won't get you where you want you want to go. Determination…
-
Absolutely ... you should revel in it. Good job! Forward we go. :)
-
Yeah, what everyone else is saying. Tomorrow's a bright new day ... ain't no way you look like the type of guy who's gonna let something like one fail day totally derail you. You're stronger than that, right? :) So, c'mon: forgive yourself. Learn from this experience. (Fail days like this have been really valuable for me.…

Hear ya. Old habits die hard (and some die harder than others). So -- if you can -- get yourself away from food for a while. Outta sight, know what I mean? Drink a big glass of water -- or two. And talk yourself out of it. You're not hungry at all ... so don't give in. You don't need it, you won't be happy if you eat it,…

Welcome to MFP! It's an insanely great tool, and you'll find lots of support here. I was pretty skeptical myself when I jumped in last Feb.; I committed to losing the least amount of weight a week possible (1/2 lb) and no exercise. ZERO. Five days in, I was 3 lbs. down ... and completely hooked. I *never* thought that…
-
Insanely great story ... good for you! (No, really, I mean it: GOOD FOR YOU! -- and on so many levels.) Woooot!

Wow, there are some great ideas here. I'll add my all-time fave spinach salad recipe (and it's really simple): fresh spinach, sliced fresh strawberries, sliced red onion, sliced almonds, lowfat poppyseed dressing of choice. SO good, it's easy to eat lots of it.

When I reach 100 lbs. lost, I'm getting a bike. With a basket. And a bell. :) When I reach my ultimate goal, I'm heading to Alaska by train, or going to Ireland ... one of those two.
-
Whoa. YUM! Thanks for sharing. I'm SO tryin' it. :)

Well, it's gonna be hard to be the Ezekiel 4:9, I think, but Sara Lee 45 Calories & Delightful 100% Whole Wheat Bread With Honey has 160mg for two slices. Pretty tasty, too.
-
Heck -- annoyances and frustration aside, look at how you responded: you went for an hour-long walk to work off the calories. Good for you! Life happens. You made your friends happy AND you burned the cals. Plus, you got ideas for how to maybe handle the same sort of thing next time. At the end of the day, seems like a…

I drink a lot of water, so I checked it out. I see no scientific data at all. The two experts quoted include a general practitioner (really? a GP?) and Dr. Stanley Goldfarb from the University of Pennsylvania. He, at least, has some cred. His one and only quote: "'The current evidence is that there really is no evidence'…
