Agreed. Those who say "oh yeah, shaming made me want to change my life and lose weight"--I think there's a difference between shaming and making fun of people, and motivating them with a bit of tough love. (the latter sounds like it works for some, it didn't work for me, I had to make some personal decisions to be…

I go to Chipotles (quickie Mexican place but with pretty healthy ingredients) about once a week and Noodles & Company about every 3 weeks...when my brother's in town we eat out at various sit-down restaurants several times a week (He only visits once a year and I hardly ever eat out when he's not in town) but I really…

Y U NO use regular sentence structure? Just kidding...the title just sounded funny when I read it out loud :wink: I don't even log my food every day right now so I don't log water regularly...but when I am logging I log my water--I run a lot and have a tendency to get dehydrated so logging reminds me to keep up on the…

I would agree that all of the women posted, whether photoshopped or not, are attractive. However...the 5'6, stocky, husband of my 6 foot tall, thin, flatchested friend would tell you he thinks she's the hottest thing he's ever seen. And I would agree with him that she is incredibly pretty, even though she has very little…

My mother is a fabulous baker. She uses a breadmaker for the same reasons...and her bread is the BOMB! Way better than store-bought. I don't like bread that much but I LOVE hers. She's not a hippie and not "elitist," she likes to bake and it's simply home-made food.

OP: If you don't want to "eat clean," don't. If other people do...how does this affect you? Unless you are living with them and eating meals together, why worry so much about others? I personally don't eat very "clean" but I certainly wouldn't judge my many friends who do...their eating habits don't affect me!

+10000 Perhaps the OP has multiple personalities? :) Edited to add: Having read through some of their previous posts...I'm leaning toward troll...

It seems like all of us who had parents raised in the post-Depression/WWII era seem to have been part of the "clean plate club." "Eat your dinner, there are starving children in Africa/China/wherever." I always wondered why we couldn't send the food to them instead LOL. On a more serious note, it does suck to waste food.…

A little shyness can be kinda cute, but confidence really works wonders.

I don't know if it's different in Sweden. In the USA, most women don't initiate conversation because of conventional "rules" that make us seem aggressive or unladylike if we show too much interest (as lame as that is)...I used to ask guys out all the time when I was younger and my friends told me I was "chasing" guys and…

I haven't dated in about 9 years for a variety of reasons, and I am just dipping my toes in the water at this point and THINKING about it. So I am probably not a great one to give advice because I am so out of practice. As another poster mentioned, I don't know you at all either, but I also creeped your profile. You appear…

I've dated a number of guys who my friends did not find attractive at all. My idea of attractive apparently doesn't necessarily correlate with what people consider "conventional" good looks. I had a crush on a guy friend years ago....one of my friends told me to my face that this guy was ugly and she had no idea how I…

5'8 SW: 199 CW: 160 GW: 153-155 Starting clothing size--16/18 Current clothing size--mostly 10 and medium shirts, but have a few 8's and 12's in the closet--clothing seems to vary depending on brand/style. Body type--somewhere between hourglass and pear--I've still got the booty and the hips, but the chest went down…

I've seen many people of varying skill levels at my races, and the larger ones usually have corrals or waves, so people start at different times--so the walking folks would be in the back anyway ;) I did a half marathon last weekend and saw an elderly woman walking along with a metal cart holding her oxygen tank. That was…

Good for you! There's a lady in my running group who race walks instead of running. I don't know your age, but she's 72 (although you'd never know to look at her!) and she racewalks half marathons and other events. One of the last half marathons I did....she was so fast (and I was pretty slow!) that she racewalked right…

Just curious, why is that recommended? I've been focusing a bit more on my running so I currently run 5 days a week. Because of my schedule, I sometimes do a short run or other cardio and then strength training on the same day--if I run last, I have no endurance, so I always run (or do other cardio) first.
-
The short answer: yes. But why do people (not necessarily you, OP, but lots of people on MFP) think this has to be such an all-or-nothing thing? It's not like it's a required choice of either McDonalds all day every day, or salads and chicken breasts and nothing else. There is lots of room for variety. I eat some junk,…

Fitness has become a way of life for me, so it would be really difficult for me to not share that with my "FB" friends as well as those on MFP. I have found pretty much overwhelming support from my friends and family, with the exception of one or two acquaintances who I was not close to) I figure if people don't care to…

I know a lot of people who swim, and they sweat, you just don't feel it because you're already wet. Your profile says you enjoy Pilates. Isn't that, technically, a form of bodyweight-resistance work? (I actually know nothing about Pilates so I'm asking a serious question) Pushups, planks, squats, and lunges are all…

I used to eat Cheezits crackers by the handfuls...I don't think I've even bought them for a year. Would rather eat real cheese ;) And I don't eat a lot of candy any more, other than chocolate. Other than that, I still enjoy lots of high calorie/high fat foods, just in smaller quantities and less often then I used to.

Of course not, there's no "guarantee." But why not take a positive step that decreases one's chances of getting cancer from nearly 90% down to FIVE percent???? When I was a kid, my father had melanoma (skin cancer) that ultimately metastasized to other areas and he died of a brain tumor when I was 15. You bet your damn…

I started doing yoga when I first started running and found that it helped with soreness and flexibility, as I felt like I lost flexibility with increased running mileage. Then I stopped doing it for nearly a year and recently picked it up again--I am just re-learning the basic poses, I guess "hatha yoga" would be the…
