I drink coffee in the morning but after my workout. My coffee-workout relationship is only there because they happen at the same time of day. I drink coffee in the morning because, dear God, how do you people do mornings WITHOUT coffee? I workout in the mornings because by the time I get off work I'm wiped out and the…

I live in Asia and it's mighty difficult to find equivalents. what I do is try and find something similar and 'wing it'. Not a good answer, I know, but how am I supposed to know what's in that sauce the vendor in a stall is putting on my grilled squid? if you're on the road and especially outside the United States it is…

Put on my belt this morning, set my not to the second from the first (first time!) and decided that it's getting embarrassingly long. Time for a new belt! I'm holding out on the pants....

Actually, and this is hard to describe, but I feel, "lighter". I've lost 20 lbs off my high and it is just so much easier to move around without having to carry that weight and have it be in the way. I'm very pleased.

I was out speed walking (bad knees) and passed a gal jogging in front of me. :happy:

THIS!

A little too revealing but I want to be able to see ALL of my bride when we make love. My gut is too big and blocks my view!

I have noticed that my posture noticeably improves when I start working out after an, ahem, "sabbatical". :blushing: and my clothes fit differently....

This weekend I retired a belt for being too long. :smile:

First my 34 waist pants got too tight, then my 36 pants, and then my 38 pants started getting really tight. Then I couldn't breathe and had to start doing gymnastics just to put on my shoes. "Oh hell no!":mad: MFP is a great tool to help see calories and how they build.

You Are Awesome :smile:

I have tried with my children, and I hope I have been successful, but the important thing is to be grateful for what you DO have, and not focus on what you DON'T have. This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. It's okay to slow down and walk sometimes, just keep moving in the same direction. When I first started using MFP, I…

and those soldiers executed that order because.... They had discipline. Discipline is doing something even when you don't want to. Yes, discipline can be used for good or ill, but when you are making your own decisions, discipline to execute your decisions will define you. We should not let life "happen" to us. We should…

15 pounds and two years ago I had knee surgery and quit running. I have been walking and elliptical but it's not the same. I ran 4 miles yesterday!!! My thighs are still burning, but I'm smiling every step.

I know my problems are nothing compared to others. Your words are inspiring. Thank you! And I'm taking pictures TODAY.

I play guitar on my own and in a band once. My daughter plays piano. Controlling food on the road is difficult. You really are at the mercy of wherever the group stops to eat. Limiting intake is difficult and definitely reducing alcohol consumption is huge. If I drink I limit my intake to 1 drink/night. I'm not in college…
