You're fine.

Hahaha this is awesome, direct, and accurate. Love it.

I truly believe you've found the answer to ineffective and/or yo-yo diets. There is absolutely no chance for failure here; eating only cabbage soup and gummy vitamins for a weekend will produce everlasting results. Some people think losing weight is hard work. Idiots. If only they knew about cabbage.

The fact you are consciously "not ratting him out" is hilarious. I bet he is 10 times more valuable to the company than anyone else around him, and I'd hire the guy based only on this post. Why? Because he knows what he wants and then goes and gets it. He wants to workout so he does. Working out boosts energy and…

Haha this. So this.

And this is why I love you.

Go running. The longest journey begins with a single... Run. Look for the silver lining... and run to it. Roses are red, violets are... nope, poetry is for runners. Go running. :) Hope that helped!

I don't understand the point of this post. Though to be fair, I can't slam the OP too hard because she states that she's happy and just curious. Still, she's losing some weight (7lbs) and continuously seeing a reduction in inches. My only question relates to her comment, "I would really love to see the scale move more."…

"I think you may be projecting on your daughter. Don't." -jayrudq Pretty much sums it up.

Motivation: 1. Hang out with friends and other people that are better looking than you. You could look like that. 2. Be eager. Tomorrow you can be less of a fatty than you are today, and two days from now is even more exciting. Two days from now you will be less of a fatty than you were tomorrow. That's awesome.

Stay on the 1200 Calorie diet.

Ha. Plus another 500 from eating.

I found that when you diet and deprive yourself of what it normally eats for a period, but then have a cheat day with those tasty nachos, burgers, cake, etc that your body gets a fix and wants another hit, and another, and another. Try not eating anything for 8-10 hours after you wake up. I think you'll go through an…

I must be missing something. Health clubs routinely charge $100-175/month. $15.50 every two weeks is a bargain.

Oops. :) There are worse thing to be than a walking tomato. Tomatoes are bright and summer and the color of blush, and the envy of potatoes everywhere. You could be a potato. Now that is sad.

There are worse things to be than a walking tornado. Things are happening in tornadoes. Wind and earth and weather are colliding and the sun is shouting jealously at the clouds it cannot see through. Interesting. Or you could be a walking barnacle. Now that would be sad.

Not true. Believe me.

Eck.

Neither. To explain the atmosphere at my gym, and I expect most gyms. People are supportive if you give them the chance to be.

Why do people think that if you are harsh once you are always a grey unpolished stone? Stones can be good. Think of King Arthur. Rocks built camelot as surely as aspiration, hard work, and a poet's turn of phrase. Without the stone there is no sword. Without love there are no loyal followers willing to pile those rocks…

I don't like people using MFP as a dating site or to prove their friends are hot. As I said, all friends are beautiful here. But thank you for following my posts. Not that I blame you.. :)

True. But people will make fun of fat people in public, harsh comments whispered under breaths -- both girls and guys, because people are inherently kind, but also inherently insensitive. The point of this post was to express my belief that the same people that make fun of a fat person Downtown at a club/restaurant, will…

This speaks to a great strength in you. Doing what you should/want regardless of what others are thinking. I believe everyone should be so strong, but for those that are not, we're rooting for you. -Signed, The Majority.

Yup.

I agree. Women are always more hurtful :) But most people, even if they are skeptical will be in your corner so long as they see you are committed. To win the naysayers (the FEW) just go for a month. Really that's all it takes.

I just hope the majority of people agree and believe.

Agreed, though I would have used fewer question marks :) and exclamation points.

I disagree. I do crossfit routines in my gym and when I finish using a piece of equipment I move my water and towel away from that machine while I go do my next exercise. If when I come back there is someone on it I totally am okay with that. I would never get upset for someone using an open piece of equipment. I hope…

I don't think the article says that it's impossible to be in great shape and drink diet soda. My interpretation of the information is that people who are not actively worried about their weight and fitness levels, people who do not count calories and hit the gym five times a week, that those people tend to gain weight. I…

OMG..... clueless.
