Still to this day I do NOT own a food scale. People lose weight all the time without logging at all. Logging and weighing food are tools. Some people need to use those tools and some people do not.

The phrase "fat shaming" has been overused to the point it doesn't mean much. Doctors are not fat shaming when they tell a patient they need to lose weight. The airport is not fat shaming when they ask for an obese person to buy two seats if they actually need two seats. I am not fat shaming my larger friends by posting…

As a responsible dog owner, I can't stand irresponsible dog owners. I have two dogs ( Husky mix and a Pomeranian). They are always leashed when out in public. They have also both been through obedience training.

This made me LOL. Thank you! I needed a laugh.

I had garbage thrown at me while I was weed eating at one of our commercial properties. The driver was a woman...

This whole thread made me cringe. I am so tired of the men vs women bs.

There are a lot of possibilities. Don't dwell on the worst case senerio, it will just make you crazy. If the test came back showing abnormal cells they might have to take a bit more tissue from around where the mole was (maybe even go deeper). This does not mean you have skin cancer. They do this so that it doesn't develop…

Yeah, I am sure his 8 hours away from the kids is a vacation...

So true and so sad!

I can't believe he actually lets you dictate when he is allowed at the gym. If I were him and I got there early, I would not leave just because you said so. Poor guy.

There will be guys who are not interested in you for whatever reason. That's life. I see nothing wrong with people having preferences even if weight/size is one of them. Be yourself and you will attract a guy who will love you for you. Don't worry about the others, they can find someone they are interested in. I would also…

I always wear sunscreen or coverup if I am going to be in the sun for extended periods of time. If the spray type doesn't work well use the lotion type. When I am cycling I wear heat gear tops and sunscreen on my face and legs (plus my helmet has a visor). I have seen what skin cancer can do and after watching doctors…

While I thought the way the piece was written was childish, I completely agree with the overall message. Childhood obesity really hits home for me because I was obese by 4th grade. My family tiptoed around the issue "not wanting to hurt my feelings". I continued to expand to 250+ pounds by high school. I wish my parents…

Pizza isn't bad...

But she didn't say that. Your mind came up with this on it's own. Her comment was not about you.

No

As long as you don't bring your own food and then proceed to munch on what ever else is offered, I don't see it as rude. My cousin got called out at the last family get together for bringing her own special food, but then she also has some of the food offered at the get together. That was rude.

I am neutral about it. I don't like or dislike comments about my weight loss. I just say thank you and move on about my day. I can see where some would welcome such comments and I also see where some people might not welcome them. I am certainly not going to judge either side.

Hi ya'll! My name is Kim, I just joined the group. I started road biking a few months ago. I love it! I also mountain bike some with my husband. I am glad I found this group.

I ate to much food (all food)...

This is very true. There was a guy a few weeks ago who was arrested for filming himself yelling and screaming at cyclists while trying to run them in a ditch on the side of the road. In his video he yells "bikes have no business on the road" a few times. The cyclist wasn't doing anything wrong. It comes down to ignorance…

This is the type of ignorance I run into while cycling. I would never ride on the side walk because it is ILLEGAL to do so. I have as much right to be on the road as a motor vehicle whether you approve or not.

I read labels. I don't avoid any foods except those I am allergic to. No I don't avoid processed foods, they just make up a small percentage of my intake.

Some people simply don't have to use a scale to meet their goals. I always said that if I started stalling or if I was having trouble meeting my goals, I would use one. I have surpassed every goal I have set without one and I maintain without logging at all. You do you and leave your husband alone. It is just a tool and…

I eat ground turkey and ground chicken because ground beef makes me vomit...

5'6" 143lbs Jean size 6/8 in the regular brands I buy, but I have fit some 4's and even 10's depending on the brand. Shirts size small to medium.

I have had an aunt and two cousins have breast reduction surgery. They were all thrilled with the results. My cousin Kim was the first to have it done and had similar complaints as you and her bra straps would actually cause sores on her shoulders. You could still lose in your chest but if you don't I would say do what you…

I think #3 looks the best

20% (give or take a percent).

They are really good about getting themselves in the news for kicking people out. Their dress code and how it is enforced is ridiculous. They claim to be a "judgment free zone" but that only applies to the people they actually want at their non gym. Honestly, their business model sucks. And their color scheme is awful!
