You keep saying that your post isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, and that it is only what worked for you. But your thread is essentially titled: "12 Tips for People who feel like they aren't losing weight". You also state in your OP: that it is your "humble attempt to try to help people who were once like me, feeling…

People assume that because I'm so awesome, my breath is always minty fresh. But that's not always the case.

That's not so much a stereotype as it an embroidered pillow phrase.

kinda tingly

What about putting books up at the library?

Part of getting your racing license in Texas requires you work a race doing corner duty. You are trained on how to use the flags, how to help racers that fall, etc. The race I worked happened to be the 50cc guys. Bunch of modded YSRs with grown men having WAY more fun than should be legal.

Is this constructed properly? Didn't you mean to convey that you were not the grammar police? Looking at the topic's title, I think you meant you were not the grammar police - perhaps by far. Wouldn't this indicate (awkwardly) that you were, very much, the grammar police? Since I knew what you meant, I won't make a big…

Too hard to spread the mustard.

It's all the mercury.

Yes, but are spiders involved in any way?

I read somewhere that if you wear a rhinestone collar with a little bell attached, it makes tuna taste better.

What is "spider about to jump at me" a euphemism for? Is it related to flappy boobs? Does it have to do with being naked? My imagination is going wild. I want to start using the phrase, but want to make sure I'm using it correctly.

Love frozen broccoli. I'll add any of the following: Lemon Salt & Pepper Butter Hot Sauce (Cholula is great on broccoli) frozen rice and beans (whole meal) The most surprising one for me was how different adding butter was. You can make a rich-tasting meal with a little salt and butter, and the calories don't get crazy.

Nicely done.

Now what? Co-workers are looking at me funny. I am still holding on to my pantyhose and need to get back to work.

I gave up trying to live a compartmentalized life a long time ago. It's just easier for me. While I certainly edit myself to some degree at my job, and in some professional settings, I am basically the same person in the different contexts of my life. Some of the stuff I post on Facebook can sometimes lead to awkward…

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on things. RE: "take it like a man" - what else are we gonna do except jump to conclusions and debate incessantly about it? It's the forum! :drinker:

I am incredibly hypersensitive. It's just the way I'm wired. There are pros and cons to this characteristic. But it won't go away. I've had to learn behaviors and thought patterns to not let it rule my life. There is a difference between not becoming a mess because you made a mistake and someone talked to your sternly, or…

Be careful. There are people on MFP that actually go around to threads under the guise of "anti-bullying" and "protecting the innocent" - I wouldn't want your harsh words misinterpreted and reported.

This thread isn't what I thought it was going to be about.

Check your math.

Sounds like you are in a pretty good position. Talk to him about how hard it is for you to make changes when he brings in your favorites. Tell him you aren't asking him to change what he eats, just that you'd prefer he not bring in so many temptations. Maybe you can plan a "cheat day" with him? where you both get to go out…

Don't discount this (and variations of this sentiment posted here). If you really enjoy milk chocolate, plan your calorie intake around it. Set up your calorie and macro goals so they include milk chocolate. You don't need to look for health benefits to justify eating food you love to eat. The fact that you love to eat it…

Similar to pasta, it depends on when you measure. If you measure out one cup of popcorn, then pop it and eat it, you will be consuming a lot more popcorn that if you popped it first, then measured out a cup of popped popcorn.

One of my favorite responses here. Be careful setting up handy excuses for failure. When we have plenty of those, they're easy to use. I understand making healthy food choices are harder when you have a partner that isn't doing the same thing. But unless you plan to never leave the house, you have to learn to make healthy…

Damn! Beat me to the patchouli comment. I wouldn't have thought of milk, though. Will lowfat work?

Well done, Chelle. Why can't we have more OPs that come back to find their thread derailed, and instead of getting miffed, provide some of the choicest commentary of the now-derailed thread? Kids, that's how its done.

Bambi. Mostly because of how often people will misuse the line said to Thumper. It makes me cry.
