You could offer to buy it from them for $10 (or some dollar value they'll accept) and then get rid of it. I know some parents that do that.

Wow ... I don't think I've ever gotten off so hard in my entire life. My day is off to a fanf**kingtastic start!

You're right that it's so much easier to gain than it is to lose. Your story and pics are a testament to your hard work. Fantastic job! Thank you for sharing!

I honestly haven't gone more than a couple weeks without sex since I became sexually active some 18 years ago. I likes what a I likes.Cheers to everyone!

My breakfast calories range from 0-800. I eat about 2,000 calories a day. I only eat breakfast if I'm hungry. Otherwise, just coffee. I usually have a protein shake in the 300-400 calorie range, but sometimes when I have more time in the morning I make something more elaborate and caloric.

Cycling really has made my butt and legs much more muscular. I stopped doing it last spring for several months when I was injured and the muscles atrophied a bit. Glad they're back to normal! I like them the way they are now much better.

I work in the Wellness department of a grocery co-op hawking protein powder and supplements to well-heeled hippies (I know, I know). Often when I take my shift meal (usually a giant salad from the salad bar plus meat) to the cashiers up front to ring it up, someone will make a comment about how much I eat. Like, "Wow, you…

I ran a half marathon by myself this weekend. In fact, I think every race I've ever run as an adult has been without a running partner. I think of running as a solo activity, anyway. Listen to music that gets you pumped up and just pound the pavement. Nobody will look at you funny. I promise. Even though I run races alone,…

Undocumented dark chocolate. LOL! Great job getting fit using a mindful approach. It sounds like you are making lifelong changes, which is wonderful. Thank you for sharing!

I just made a really fantastic chickpea salad with drained, canned chickpeas, chopped walnuts, feta cheese, sliced green olives, red onion, chopped carrot and celery and red bell pepper, tons of fresh chopped parsely, lemon juice and a teensy bit of olive oil. It tasted good last night at dinner but much much better this…

I get out of the shower without drying off and walk around the house dripping water everywhere. I have NEVER ONCE put the cap back on the toothpaste after I was done with it. I eat pats of butter.

That I have a tattoo that says "let's *kitten*" scrawled on the inside of my lower lip.

A box of wine.

Oh, yes. Love this band, too. My sophomore year of college I had Carry the Zero on repeat all day everyday.

aye aye! Queen for me, too.

Nope!

Okay. Thank you everyone for your helpful input. Cauliflower can not be pizza. I am fully on board there. For my paper, I am going to look at the research on fructose's contribution to chronic inflammation and break it down. Sugar, particularly fructose, gets demonized a lot, but I don't really buy it, and a lot of the…

@xxjenxx: Yes. I've looked a few times. Very hot.

Consider yourself creeped, DLaddict. Lookin good!

@chief: e'ery day, e'ery day.

lol. "The disproportionate percentage of MFP users that claim to eat 1200 calories a day, exercise 6 days a week and are still gaining weight."

Doing some testing at my gym this week, and my current numbers are: Squat: 215x1, 205x3 Deadlift: 265x1, 245x3 Bench Press: 125x1, 115x3 Clean: 145x1 Front squat: 185x1 edit to add I've been lifting two years on and off. edited again to add I'm about 5'9" and about 160#.

I maintain at 160-165# and that's right where I like to be.

Fresh baked Subway bread. Hork. Do not want.

Bam! I'm feeling it, too ...

About 4 times a year in maintenance. I was doing every other week for a couple months this fall to drop a few pounds but stopped doing that when I got where I wanted to be. Clothes fit fine. I look at myself naked in the mirror a lot, too, and I like what I see there, so all is good :-)

yes

I have now. Girl, you are gorg.

I was on an elevator with four college boys all spiffed up in business suits, and when I got off on my floor, they peeked their heads out to watch me walk down the hallway. I could see them looking in the mirror :-)
