This. For sure!

I don`t consider it shallow per se. If we`re talking about pictures in a magazine or random people walking along in my gym, then yes, I have a type. Mostly, it`s men over 40 with a little gray around the temples, good skin, nice eyes, a great smile, tall, a bit of chest definition, but not too muscle-y.. yum, lol. However,…

I work at the gym, so I have a LOT of gym crushes, lol. I really enjoy the flirting (just subtle) that goes on. I get winks and smiles now, which I never noticed before I lost the weight. My crushes.. Mostly guys my age (35) or a bit older. I tend to like good looking older guys with nice smiles. I don't tend to go for…

Personally? I think from your description, he WAS trying to be supportive, but he genuinely doesn't know what you need from him. I'd sit down and have a good heart to heart about what being supportive means to YOU before you throw in the towel completely. For some people, what he said would make them feel better and be…

Awesome job - huge difference! :)))

These are making me sad for all of us. :( I have had a few, but none in recent years. I may give off a don't eff with me vibe now, idk. Lol I remember being stopped by a guy on a busy street in downtown Osaka, and a guy started chatting me up, some German guy (accent) - foreigners often just talked to each other, so I…

Heya! I'm in NS too. Hopefully some of my other NS friends will also chime in. I like PC Bluemenu stuff, and Sobeys has good turkey sausages. Costco has a lot of good choices.. I find it's less about brands and more about specifc products.

I stood on the scale @ my mom and dad's house on New Year's eve, last year. I saw the number 292 staring back at me, and I knew I had to do *anything* to not get to 300. So far, I've lost 70lbs, about 39 more to go! :)

I am currently about 50lbs overweight and slightly overpronate while running. I went and got fitted - I wouldn't have guessed the overpronation thing. It's WELL worth the drive to see someone, imho. You really REALLY don't want to end up injured. I also ended up in shoes a size LARGER than I'd have expected - you need more…

I think this comes the closest to where I was. Also, when it got to a certain point, I just *didn't care anymore*. I was already so fat, what was the point? Eating was fun, I like food, I can cook well, I would just eat large portions of everything all of the time. It wasn't an addiction, per se, I just let it all happen.…

I stepped on a scale at my parents' house on New Year's eve, 2010. EEEEEK! 292lbs, and I'm 5'8". I felt that if I didn't do anything, I would soon be over 300lbs, and for me that was too much and scared me into doing something. I also have very vivid memories of reaching and surpassing 200lbs and doing NOTHING about it,…

Exactly this - it's very individual. Some are emotional eaters, some people can't handle eating a small portion of certain foods.. it's not a one size fits all kind of thing.

This is a GREAT topic. I'm also in Canada, and I've found the same thing. The prices are very frustrating. I also have 3 kids, so I'm buying a LOT of food. There's even a difference depending on where you ARE in Canada. On the east coast, I feel like produce is much pricier than what my Ontario friends pay. I tend to buy a…

That sounds yummy! Marking so I remember to try this after I get groceries. :)

I had this just recently. I went away on vacay and consciously didn't log or track, walked 8-12 hrs a day but didn't do any intentional workouts or running. I didn't gain weight, but I felt pretty down just from post-vacay blahs and lack of structure after I got back. It took a good 2 wks, but I'm back at the exercise, I'm…

Welcome back! Here's something positive. Not saying it happens for everyone, but I went away on vacation to England and Scotland for 2 wks with my 9 yr old. I didn't do any formal exercise, but we walked between 8-12 hrs a day, most days!! I ate whatever I wanted, in reasonable but not stingy quantities - sandwiches,…

This is my favourite answer so far. Thanks for this! :)

I've gone back through my previous clothes so far, and bought a few new pieces when I see sales. Then I shop second hand. We have a great store very close to us, so that works for me!

I've manually adjusted the fibre and protein goals to be more in line with what I want - I don't like seeing red numbers staring at me at the end of the day. :P

To be fair, Tremblay is a very common french Canadian name, and her profile does read as though English is not her first language. Also, you burn more calories doing the same activities if you are extremely obese (and higher BMR). It doesn't seem that the OP *is*, but it is a possibility. I googled BMR calculators and the…

I had a chocolate craving this afternoon that had me ALMOST opening a big easter rabbit up to eat. :P Instead, I did: 1 cup skim milk 2 tablespoons 2% yogurt 1 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp fry's cocoa powder calories: 248 Carbs: 45 Fat: 2 Protein: 12 Sodium: 211 Fibre: 4 Blended together with a lot of ice, called it a chocolate…
