I have a rowing machine and a million exercise DVDs, from Chris Powell to Jillian Michaels to Richard Simmons. I also have two feet and I walk a lot around my neighborhood. C:

I don't think you should be worried as your weight can fluctuate 2-5ish lbs a day, but if you're concerned, keep track of your weight, since you might be eating too much since your phenomenal weight loss/need to change your macros.

I want to try Quest bars but my local Kroger, Meijer, and Walmart just don't stock them. Right now I have the occasional Luna bar.

Totally stealing this.

"You messed up your diet and you didn't exercise today - So what? You didn't ruin anything. Get back on track tomorrow. If you have one flat tire, do you slash the other three? Of course not." - Jillian Michaels

Nothing beats where I grew up -- the New Jersey shore. C:

Today my mother in law made corned beef with cabbage, with very small white potatoes. I'm not a big corned beef person and I barely ate it but I gobbled up the cabbage.

Start with taking small steps. If you tend to drink, say, 3 cans of Mt Dew per day, promise yourself that you'll replace 1 can with 1 glass of water. Keep doing this until you feel ready to up to 2 glasses of water and 1 can of soda. You don't need to cut it out all together at once. Just make one small promise and stick…

If you're just trying to lose weight and not gain any muscle -- then sure. Although I couldn't imagine stuffing myself with (my) daily intake of 1630 in one meal. I think the most I've ever eaten in one meal is 900. :drinker:

Make my own money.

The only cereal I eat is Kashi cereal. My favorite is Kashi GOLEAN Crisp! Toasted Berry Crumble. https://www.kashi.com/our-foods/cold-cereal/kashi-golean-crisp-toasted-berry-crumble-cereal 180 calories for 3/4 cup (51 g).

Stubble or small beard. No Santa Claus beards or shaved! EDIT: Aww someone already posted Hugh Jackman. How about this guy: Or this one:

I've been on multiple brands of BC since I was 17 (23 now) and I noticed that in the beginning, I had weight gain but I was also taking one of those tri-hormonal pills (meaning each week was a different hormone level). Since I switched to the same hormone level pill -- and again, I switched after about 1 year on the 1st…

QFT. I pretty much ignore MFP's fat goals.

Is it going to rain? Nah I don't think so. Was that a bird? Nope... It's notorious that every time I go out for a walk/jog, no matter what the rain forecast, I get hit with a stray downpour.

My current history is inaccurate. I was at 1400 calories for a long time, then 1450 and now at my current 1600ish. I'm just really concerned that if I start exercising/doing weights that I won't be eating enough at 1600. But if I can eat 1900 and still be okay, even with exercising, it makes me feel a lot better. I don't…

I tend to wing whenever I run. :embarassed: That's more than likely my problem, combined with everything everyone has said. I have dinner/lunch then 20 minutes later decide to go for a run. I think I'll start pre-planning when to run. No wonder there's so many 6am morning runners in my neighborhood. Thank you everyone!!

So I would be okay and still losing if I were to eat up to, say, 1900 calories? I have it set to sedentary because when I do exercise, it's not consistent. I do archery for a few hours maybe twice a month, I walk when I have the time to, and I do a few minutes of squats or lunges here or there, maybe an exercise DVD a…

This is completely new for me. I usually walk 1-2 miles per day and just recently I started jogging about 10 minutes in, then I get hit with this unbearable OUCH on my side and I have to stop.

Thanks! I didn't even know what it was called. =)

My fiance's 98 year old grandmother's house. She owns 2 cats and doesn't clean the litter box because she's too old and is stubborn. We finally moved her out into an assisted living home and when I went to grab some of her clothes, I vomited when I entered the entryway. I swear we're just going to burn the house down.…

When I reach 250 lbs I'm going to get my hair dyed at a salon. :3

I found that a huge part of changing my mindset... Instead of saying "I can't," I started saying "I don't." And I don't mean saying "I don't eat pizza," but rather, "I don't eat 5 slices of pizza." Do not deny yourself the foods you love. You'll end up craving it and binging. Take a deep breath, and pick yourself up and…

I'm a huge gamer for all different types (MMO's, RPG, Action, Simulation, etc.) I used to play Magic and Dungeons and Dragons. Huge Marvel fangirl. Read a lot of comics growing up. I read a whole bunch. I think I know every Harry Potter spell. Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly... I love it all. Oh and my fiance is studying to…
