  • sorry but i don't think most people who replied to your post understands where you're coming from. i am trying to refrain from saying anything bad about them but seriously.. wtf. you probably have more skills and talent than most of them. i WILL NOT be waiting 10-15 years for a promotion. it might take some time to find…
  • legally single but taken. sort of early (8 months-ish) but things are looking good. would love to be married some day but i don't think i'll have kids unless we have an excess of money.
  • i don't really like logging on the weekends. i just try to eyeball and watch what i eat. this way you can sort of train your eye/stomach without logging calories for the rest of your life (tiring!). i also avoid being on my phone/computer as much on the weekends and i find it a bit tiring to log everything. kinda just…
  • me too. i feel the same way. i've never been motivated to workout etc. i'm generally a lazy person (not a good thing and not proud of it) and i find ways to do as little as possible. of course this attitude also spills into the working out/eating right part of my life.
  • hi! i'm a weekend smoker but i just wanted to say my brother has quit since february! he's 36 almost 37 and he has been smoking since he was 13. he tried quitting a few times but this time i think he has lasted the longest! so it is possible! i think he usually smokes a pack of reds a day. good luck!
  • hawaiian shirts! why hasn't this come up yet. i just saw a WSJ post about "fashionable" hawaiian shirts and i said, nooooo. merde. you're probably still awesome though. and i do jeans with sandals.. i don't like wearing shoes cos it causes eczema on my feet (gross, i know).
  • actually even if you puke your food out, you have already taken in some calories and you also don't puke out the entire meal. it depends whether you want to err on the safe side. regarding this condition, does your doctor tell you to eat more to replenish when you actually do throw up? if yes, then you should count your…
  • i'm 5'5.5", about 129-133lbs (depending on if i'm using my home scale or work scale). according to my digital scale i'm about 23-25 body fat but i think it might be higher. thighs at biggest part: 21" calves at biggest part: 12.5"
  • i prefer tempeh! i made these a couple of days ago - http://www.food.com/recipe/italian-flavored-tempeh-nuggets-315262 there's also a bacon tempeh recipe in the cookbook, 30 minute vegan, which i also like very much.
  • @stacy_7171: did they hurt or have any side effects? are there possibilities of allergic reactions? i understand it's just an aid in weight loss. i have about 10-20lbs to go and i might not look "fat" but i have a lot of fat around my belly and i am sure i have a disproportionate amount of visceral fat. i'm glad you had a…
  • i'm no longer a vegetarian but i still like to cook a lot of vegetarian/vegan dishes. i was vegetarian for about 5 years. i like ohsheglows.com! she has a great background story and lots of great recipes. as well as an awesome bengal cat. for a little treat, i like eatmedelicious.com - not always the healthiest but there…
  • i do this too. i weigh myself in the morning at home without clothes and before food, and sometimes also at work with clothes and before food. i find the scale at work to be a little bit more accurate. for some reason my home digital scale takes away 5 lbs. but weight loss rate is the same on both scales. i also measure…
  • age: 23.. almost 24 height: 5'5.5" hw: 149 cw: 131 but it's 136 at work gw: 110-120 it depends giving myself till the end of this year to slowly work it down
  • happy monday! we're starting on the 2nd half of april so reminder for everyone to stay on top of our goals. meag - great job on shaving those minutes for your good friday marathon! how did you like SD? kendi - i don't have any more cans at home (trying to cut down on my canned soup habit) so i'm still trying to do the 30DS…
  • i'm 5'5.5" and i have been hovering in the 130-140 range for over a year. partly because i don't exercise so i have started exercising about 2 weeks ago - i can report back to see how this goes. i've been trying to get below 130 for the longest time. this is NOT the weight or shape my body wants to be at. i've been at…
  • i don't remember the exact condition i was diagnosed with but i'm pretty sure it's chondromalacia patallae. /edit - it might be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellofemoral_pain_syndrome i think it's because i used to play netball which requires a lot of jumping. my knees, especially my right, is always cracky and makes a…
  • missgolightly - don't fret about falling off the wagon. at least you're back on now! sorry to hear that the relationship didn't work out but proud that you're able to do what's right and best for yourself! beth - we're all back on the wagon now! where do you do kickboxing? i did boxing for a couple of months but i never…
  • julie - i heard of that app! i'm actually obsessed with zombies (but not running). let me know how that app works out for you. my biggest weakness is also chocolate and i've cut back on my chocolate consumption. the only ones i have regularly are sugar-free chocolate jello pudding. i'm not one of those people who can stop…
  • hi guys i'm back! i haven't been on MFP for quite a few months but this was always my favorite thread. i've been pretty good the last 2 weeks and working out more than i did the rest of this year. i'm going to hawaii on the 21st of this month PLUS summer is coming around so i'm extra motivated. however, i have not seen…
  • bump - haven't been on mfp for a few months but would like to get in with the group in april. i haven't been working out for the past few months but i worked out 6 days out of the past 8 days and have cut out chips/chocolate but i gained weight. i haven't had time to measure myself yet but i don't feel any skinnier (i know…

  • you are so right. i had some of their fake bacon strips. WOW the sodium levels are ridiculous. i am going to avoid their products for now. i am trying to decrease sodium from my diet.
  • i've been reading everyone's posts (and lack thereof) even though i haven't really been posting. i gained 2.2lbs so definitely not anywhere close my march goal. i am excited for april to start and i've got my goals thought out. i am leaving for vegas on friday morning so i won't be able to join the april group till apri…
  • this. the food industry makes me sick. i agree with the OP but also, EVERYONE WORKS IN DIFFERENT WAYS. my personal trainer also told me if i wanted to reduce belly fat, i had to cut sugar out of my diet as much as possible, including refined/bad sugars (from junk food etc) and even fruit. he said it's because most often…
  • i used to restrict but now i tend to binge a lot. for some reason setting my goal at 1200 causes me to binge more than when i set my goal at 1000 (whether of not i go over my cals). it is difficult to find the balance for me and i am so tempted to go back to restricting because of all the extra weight i have put on! thanks…

  • hope everyone is well. i might have gained a pound ah back up to 141.0lbs now. my binging habit is really frustrating and halting to my weight loss. i am going to try to increase my protein intake to see if this helps. going to buy truckloads of tofu after work later. I PRAY FOR STRENGTH TO NOT BUY ANY JUNK FOOD. no…
