Like the others have said, I think that she may or may not be lying. And if she is....does it matter? Weight is a very personal thing, IMO. I think the reason we talk about it a lot here, and so openly and (hopefully) honestly is due to the fact that we're all anonymous entities. We're avatars and screen names. So if she…

i get like this when i restart the effort to lose some weight. when i feel a grumble in my stomach or a craving coming on i try to snack on something with some crunch (air popped popcorn or veggies). drink some water, and I also remind myself of my goals.

I wish yoga burned a lot more too! But I think that while it doesnt get in a ton of calorie burn that we all want, it strengthens our core and for me, it's the much needed stretch session that I usually cut short before/after my workouts.

My calves are definitely smaller than they were when I was 65lbs larger, however they're still larger than I'd like them to be...but I take solace in that they're all muscle..ya know? :) I'm a runner and that's what helped me lose the majority of my weight. Some say running helps, some say it contributes. I think I'm just…

You can do it. it's an awesome feeling of accomplishment. When I went to pick up my number for my first half, an awesome woman there said "if you can finish a half, you finish a full" I think I snorted when i said "yeah right".... I'm 5 marathons in. It's addictive :)

I'm with ya. I try and squash it with a joke or chuckle. Doesn't seem to work so I might just try and stay out of it. :laugh:
-
Congratulations on your success with low carb! I'm happy to see that this is working for you! See! I like this type of getting along...the no carbs/low carbs/carbs...why do I feel like Polyanna? :laugh:

I think to discount the research of the Mayo Clinic is a bit much. I think all published research out there has some validity to it because it has a measured level of success, don't you think? And coming from a world-renowned institution known for its medical research would give it some clout.... That having been said... I…

I was eating skinny cow truffle bars (yes..BARS..plural) and hummus and rice cakes ...all of this after I had already had my dinner. maybe I can lock my fridge.. :laugh: With regard to database, I'm just wondering if by having too many options - I don't want to streamline so much that i'm eating the same thing every day…

Absolutely! Swimming is a fantastic workout! It's what i did when I couldn't run and thank god for it! I mean, if you're just leisurely hanging out in a pool than it's probably not burning 500cal/hr but if you're actively swimming (doing laps) then Heck YA! Count it! Great job! :happy:

Congratulations! Rock those skinny jeans!!! :wink: <---this was the closest thing to a whistling/wolf howl smiley i could find

I remember all too well the hurt of being teased and made fun of when I was overweight. I made up for it by being the funny one...I made the joke about my being fat before anyone else could make it...the best defense is a good offense, right? I laughed at myself harder than others dared to. I think once we're on the other…

that is a great goal. don't be surprised if you find that you've done more than this :)

Congrats to everyone for weight losses, happy days and HAPPY FRIDAY! wahoo! :drinker: I hope NO ONE has to work on Monday! Enjoy your weekends with friends family and get in a little bit o' fitness! My weigh in is Monday but I will revise it to Tuesday for sake of the long weekend. See you all in June! :flowerforyou:

I was larger through most of puberty and was 193 at my largest. I have a little excess skin on my tummy and yeah, it bugs me but the way I see it, it's a small price to pay for being healthier and smaller...ya know? It's a risk but I say focus on how great you'll feel when you're healthier rather than the very tiny risk…

i don't want to promote pills but i always make sure to drink 2 glasses of water with 2 advil before i go to bed. for food... i have to eat in shifts when i'm hungover. i really can't have more than 3 bites of food at a time..haha :laugh: i usually have 2 pcs bacon, 2 eggs and 1 pc wheat toast <-- which really isn't all…
-
I think its probably a combination of anxiety and the contamination of the food your eating <--meaning...no matter how "light" or "dieter friendly" something says it is on a menu, I just know that I'm eating no less than 500 calories when I eat at a restaurant. I used to experience a lot of anxiety when I ate at…

holy WOW Mama! 131 pounds is AWESOME! You've been keeping up quite the pace and it seems like your body is telling you that it needs a little R&R and what a perfect time...a VACATION...to take some rest. If you feel the need to move while there, take a long stroll, a hike, a swim...but overall, let your body rest. You'll…

if i'm on a machine working out - and i know those calorie measure aren't spot on - but still...i'll stay on for 3 more..5 more...10 more minutes....JUST to get those extra calories...the numbers on the screen are just so tempting

i don't have a "lunch" really but i speed walk pretty far (about 10 city blocks) to get food and then eat at my desk while working today was tilapia, brown rice and broccoli yum!

HA! I love this and makes a lot of good sense. I'd like to add... thou shalt not eat while watching TV. i KNOW I eat more when I watch TV and eat.
-
quit your job. HA! wouldn't that be wonderful! sometimes i wish i could do that! :) i run into the same problem a lot doing what i do. is there a way to take a cliff bar or a protein or juice shake into your meetings? i learned my lesson after one too many meetings or sessions going long and my group is fairly casual so i…

omg, i had the same problem a few weeks ago. I mean seriously, i was on the verge of wanting to go in for a colonic or finding a cleanse or something to get things "moving" :sick: i just adjusted a few things in my diet...actually lowering fat and adding a few more fruits and carbs helped...tweaking here and there, trial…
