I'm in, but no biking today! Was busy finding out that it's time to switch to a road bike. I've apparently outgrown my hybrid. :frown:

People who post "I'm deleting people because ____________ " (insert reason they are better than everyone else here). Those are the ones I can't stand. If our relationship on MFP has contingencies, I don't have time for it. So I'll just delete you now to save you time. Otherwise I don't really delete people.

OP, we are friends, so I think you probably already know that I will happily have a day with Taco Bell, Wine and Fun Dip and be okay with it. I aim for calorie count first, although on like bike ride days I aim to hit my protein goals for sure as well. So yes, I'm sensible in my choices, a lot better than I used to be, but…

I'm guilty of slipping my shoes off... but I'm seriously considering buying some slippers for working at my desk. I'm pretty much hidden from the world, but I still try to dress nice for the most part, just in case someone randomly decides to stop by and ask if I'm in and if they can meet me. In my career and my specialty,…

I had a friend do it and she was actually terribly disappointed. She wrote a blog about it actually - http://whitepeachblog.com/2012/07/16/a-very-colorful-run/

Come drink the rest of my bottle of mead and eat the apple crisp I just made.... before I do! :blushing:

I want to sleep with the first two pairs. And when I say "sleep with", I literally mean in pajamas, holding close so no one can steal them. Yeah..... this just got awkward.

Wow, talk about over the head... Anyway, I think we need to ban the witty ones and all men with good smiles. They are distracting me far too much....

Truth. Also, can people not parallel park? I get all chatted up by old guys every time I parallel park downtown because they find it impressive. And if you are driving and there are 10 cars behind you because you're going 45 in a 55, pull over. Seriously. Instead of making all the crazy drivers swerve all over the place…

The first thing I noticed is that the shingles have a rough patch and need repair. Not the clown. Apparently my brain is always at work.

I'm with so many others. This isn't going to stop me. I'd glad we aren't being wasteful and only using the best pieces and throwing the rest away. I don't want those poor pigs to die for nothing, you know. I also agree with another poster, though..... 200 calories per Pop Tart is kind of insanity. While I like them, it's…

I don't know about mean.... there are a couple people who I can count on to be an a$$ha!, but otherwise overall I think people are not MEAN. Judgmental, yes. I just told my husband the other day at the city pool that I was very thankful that the people at the pool didn't seem to be as judgmental as the MFP community,…

I don't understand this. I was anorexic, but I would have been "padding" my diary with calories to make people think I HAD eaten. It was a bad thing that I wasn't, I hid that fact as much as possible. The breed that tends to display the fact that they are eating nothing seems like a totally different, attention seeking…

I would get the hell out of here. I couldn't stand living somewhere where everyone agreed with me all the time. I'd seriously go bats$!t crazy.

I love these. My diary cracks me up. 1. Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee Flavor k-cups 2. International Delight Coffee Creamer - Almond Joy 3. Starbucks Strawberry Lemonade Refresher Energy Drink 4. Iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk 5. Wonka - Fun Dip 6. Starbucks Raspberry Pomegranate Refreshers 7. International…

You know, I didn't read all the replies, but here's my answer: My husband is masculine. No doubt. But I'm the boss. Pure and simple. Until we get into the bedroom. Then he's the boss, and he damn well be a good, hard boss. Wait, what?

- I will one up a guy every chance I get - The guys at the dealership think I'm hilarious.... especially when I come in and tell them what code the service vehicle light is throwing and what it means. - I do not cook.... and I suck at it when I do. - I always loved jobs where I was throwing heavy stuff around. - I just get…

Judge based on his appearance and activity level. Every once and a while I get a doctor in the same day clinic that lectures me about my four year old. He's 99.8% for weight for his age. So they start ripping me a new one about letting him "get obese". What pisses me off is that they don't bother to look at his height,…

I did this. I was eating 1,200 calories a day for a month, nothing happened - didn't even lose half a pound. I didn't want to completely give up, but I was consistently over for two weeks, eating around 1,500 calories each day. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, because I started dropping weight, noticed it,…

I'm at 55 as of 8/12.... I have not had the time to get anywhere near as much in as I've wanted, but I'm hoping I can catch up!

I am so totally doing this when I'm already at goal for the day and my husband starts eating something delicious in front of me.....

I don't know your schedule (as others have said), but I know my husband goes to the gym early in the morning so it doesn't affect the family, too. But the reality is that it does affect the family. He falls asleep at 7:30 or 8 sometimes. There's virtually no chance of watching a movie with him after the kids go to bed…

I'm not personally in the same boat really.... my battles with my suckiness at mom-hood are more work based than work out/exercise/food based. I can honestly say that I've gone through phases where I see this with my husband though, and it does frustrate me. Is it a bad thing? I don't know. I struggle with telling my…

I've been with my husband for nine years. And I can honestly say that even at 70+ pounds heavier than I am now, I was never as self conscious as I am now without my clothes on. It's miserable. I see myself with clothes on, and I'm happy with that, but naked.... not so much. I'm worried that I may never be comfortable with…

I agree! I would totally go for LPN if I knew I could get in L&D - but that's what I want to do, I know it, and I also know that the competition for L&D nurses is insane. So do the research. But I don't hate LPN's - I know some very good, very smart ones that I would absolutely take advice from any day!

Do you have any idea what kind of nurse you want to be? People say to go RN because more and more employers want RN's. But more and more people are going into it, and it's also becoming more and more competitive. I found that once I was on track to the associate's RN I was hearing that people weren't getting jobs and…

I did go peek at your photos, too - you do look good. I don't see it. Sometimes I catch myself off guard in the mirror though - I don't even recognize myself some of the time. You look incredible and have made quite a change! And I think you look younger, personally.

I'd say aim to build muscle. It's amazing to watch the transformation in my husband's face between starting, then low point before building muscle, and now. Plus time will likely help. So maybe just change up your goals a bit. I think it's kind of funny how some of us become so self conscious of little things after losing…

Mine was just food in general. I just ate too much food. Not any one specific food. Just all of it. Too much.

Also, for the people that are ripping on 150 being overweight: Believe it or not, she’s 11 pounds HEAVIER (142 pounds) in the picture on the right (May 2011) compared to the picture on the left (131 pounds, October 2010). ***** Taken from Nerd Fitness @…
