Well I do hope your angry ranting on the MFP message boards helps you feel better.

You will achieve the flat stomach way before you get to 130. If not, you probably haven't lost weight in a healthy way.

130 is awfully skinny. Just make your goal the flat stomach instead of the weight.

Ok, this is dangerous, but I'll play. 138 pounds.

I hate it when people are telling me I need to stop losing weight or that I am getting too skinny. People started telling me that when I was still 210 pounds. Annoying. You look good. You kinda look like Kim Kardashian now.

Well my wife has always given as well as she takes.

Somehow I knew when this thread was started that it would be around a long time.

Yeah that one is pretty good. I like that.

You seem a bit angry and bitter.

Oh come on now. There is somebody for everyone.

Hmm. Is that how that works. Me and the wife need to have a talk.

Sometimes couples are going to argue and curse at each other. But I agree...the number one thing that a real man never does is hit a woman. I don't even get it. I've been married for 21 years and my wife and I have had some HOF arguments but it has never occurred to me that I should just smack her so she will see things my…

My favorite line is when the detective says, "Your friend McManus told us a different story altogether" and dude says "oh, is that the one about the hooker with dysentery?"

I was an Army Medic from 91-97. My career was not nearly as exciting as yours. I spent most of my time at Fort Drum, NY. Anybody who knows where that is knows that I don't miss it. I work for the Army now as a Military Analyst, have been for 4 years.

Loved Penicio in The Usual Suspects.

When I was about 12 years old, I was at my cousin's All-Star baseball tournament, and I was standing outside the center field fence watching the game. This kid hit a high fly ball to right center that I was sure was going to be a home run as soon as he hit it and I took off running toward right center to get that ball. On…

My first choice would have been Art Alexakis, but I've met him many times already. I'd like to sit down with Bruce Springsteen and get the back story on some of my favorite Springsteen songs.

I think I am going to be able to get rid of this last bit of belly fat, but my butt has completely disappeared as I've lost weight.. I don't guess it is a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I'd like to have it back.

Uh oh lol.

Here is one thing I would say about "cheat" days or "treat" days as I call them - if they are going to make you more miserable on the other days, don't do them. I think that will lead to failure.

Tora, we all get your point. I think where people objected is when you kind of appointed yourself as the arbiter of what people deserve. I would just be a little more careful with your wording...unless you like working people up. In that case carry on.

That's how I do it. And it makes it easy for me to stay disciplined in the days after my treat days. Yesterday I ate oatmeal for breakfast, then went to the Thai buffet at lunch and ate two servings of ginger chicken, two servings of green bean stir fry, and two servings of vegetable stir fry. I went home last night and…

I'd use the word "Treat" day instead of "Cheat day". You can't ruin a lifestyle by treating yourself once in a while. Just don't let "treating" become the norm. I personally will just gorge myself from time to time, and I find that I have my best weight loss after I do. I think, for me, it boosts my metabolism.

LOL yeah I know. My message in this thread was simple - eat healthy, you won't crave, and it will be easy to limit your calories. I never endorsed ANY kind of calorie restriction. Just said if you eat healthy it is easy to stay under 1200 calories for ONE day if you need to. I think my message was a pretty good and basic…

I never even said that. I've just responded negatively to the lecturing nature of the people on the site. Never said that I eat 1200 every day. Actually said the opposite a whole bunch of times.

I've been losing weight for 14 months. I think if my metabolism was about to shut down it probably would have happened already.

I hear you, but the most dangerous health epidemic in the country is..........obesity. I'm not telling people to do extreme diets....those never last. I have even said in this thread that if you call yourself "dieting" you are going to gain all the weight back anyway. But this attitude that a lot of people have on here…

Ding Ding Ding Ding.

Ok, let me clarify. I am hitting the weights twice a week to stay toned, I am just not trying build muscle mass while I lose the last bit of belly fat. My first goal is to get rid of the belly fat. As far as my weight, I know a lot of the men on here like the big body builder look....that's not what I am going for. I…
