Well, I actually find this extremely discouraging. The elliptical feels very difficult to me, and at first I didn't question MFP at all - I think I feel like I worked 400 calories hard, but if 30 minutes of "Is it over yet? Is it over now? Now? Now?" and feeling like I'm going to die, or feeling like I have to quit or I am…

They used the term "brain-dead losers" not "pot smokers" ;P

Um.. Math? Because the Average American household income is $40,000 and $70,000 dollars in households of four people or less over 1 year. The cost to provide food, healthcare and basic comfort to a person in jail for one year is $40,000. This includes 3 meals, showers, clothing, healthcare, medications and opportunities…

Nhradeuce - My exercise is usually about 1 hour of walking (4 miles) about 4 times a week. It isn't that I don't exercise and only watch my intake, it's just that I'm confused about what to do on my resting day - go over or stay under. Nicleed, Mulder - I put the weight on in 7 months, all 40lbs of it, shouldn't I be able…

IluvCO - The campaign that pushed the Amendment through really has a point. People are out there smoking it anyways, people of all ages. It's happening. It's not going to stop happening. Police are chasing their tails to go after nonviolent crimes, and have less manpower where they need it as a result. I'm sure this is a…

Jenn: I have it set to 2lbs because that is what I would like to be losing. Skinny by summer, 7 months away. But, I've been having a really hard time actually meeting that goal. I've only just started, but I don't seem to be making headway.

Jc, have you tried looking at your BMR? MFP has a calculator for it here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator Your BMR is the number of calories your body burns just keeping you alive. So, for example, my BMR is 1600, but my diet plan is 1200 calories a day, so even if I did nothing but eat and sleep, I would…

As you lose weight and become more fit, your resting metabolism burns more energy during the day, but exercise also becomes easier, and doesn't have the same effect it used to. This is why your energy is up, and your exercising is successful! Muscle mass is actually heavier than fat mass, since it is more dense. Just…

I have a hard time working in exercise every day though : ( Do I just eat over the 1200 and call it close enough and playing it safe?

I'd be really discouraged to find that he didn't really mean it. I've been frustrated by his dodging, but encouraged in my own work to find that he is interested in working on himself as well. Though, I guess if he isn't really interested, there's nothing to be encouraged about...

The hard thing really is that he wants it. He used to be fat, with no muscle. His parents were both overweight and died of heart problems, one was diabetic. He's watching his oldest siblings struggle with obesity and fatty livers. He's got the life experience to want it, and has told me repeatedly that he wants it - not…

My mom was in a very abusive relationship with my dad for over ten years, and she put on over 200 lbs to push him away, and now that she is away from him, she still overeats and gains weight to push strangers and friends farther away in times of stress (good stress like a new job or bad stress like family drama, any kind…

I don't really like the idea of taking a step back, lol, but I totally understand the feeling. I feel fine splurging as long as I know I'm not really taking a step back (for example, if it were ruining my metabolism). That being said, the reward for me isn't really in getting to eat crap one day of the week. I really love…

My boyfriend asked me to marry him, and I said yes. I felt loved, secure, stable... And after he asked me to marry him, he started being stingy with his phone, keeping it away from me and on his person at all times. Even if he got up in the night to go to the bathroom. I thought he was shopping for jewelry. About three…

I don't eat fast food. I don't drink sodas. I over eat on good things. I can keep Progresso in the cabinet... and instead of just having one can, I eat three. If there are yogurts, I'll eat 4 containers of them. I know the right things to eat, I just eat too much of them. Way too much. If I kept almonds and protein bars in…
