  • This. Them tell him to get out. You have made your needs clear, right? You have said to him "I do not want that pizza/Chinese/dessert" Right?! Tell him no. Mean it. I know it's really REALLY HARD to say no to food, food you love and want to eat. But you are trying to practice healthy habits and moderation and your BF isn't…

  • Ya'll ROCK, thanks so much for the advice!! Off to calculate my goals!! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
  • HAHAHAH! LOGIC!! BaconBoobies, you're so awesome!
  • I have very good days during the week when i take my lunch to work and plan out my calorie intake the day before hand. The weekends however can get kinda messy. Because I want that restaurant or home cooked meal. And you know what? Life is too short to say no to your mother in laws cooking. It's ok, it's just a day or two,…
  • Just rinse off, and put your A&D or whatevs back on it, it'll be fine :)
  • I found my first gray hair on my 21st birthday. I have many now and they're kinda cool, some people ask me who does my highlights (((HAHAHAHAH!!!))) If you feel more beautiful or whatevs get your hair colored professionally, but know that you will be dropping some ca$h every 6 weeks so pick a stylist you love, cause you…
  • Thanks wildskies and everyone else for the info! I read on a looooong and drawn out bike forum about cals burned per hour is on average about 30-40 cals per mile at a 12-15mph pace. They are NOT factoring in wind resistance, or hills and curves. If you think about it, let me know how the Polar FT4 works for you on your…
  • My husby got some pedals today-shimano 105!
  • ooo! smart Idea!
  • I have a Trek Multi-Track that I commute with it's a great bike too!
  • Would you let a stranger talk to you this way? You are not an idiot, or a failure. If you decide tomorrow you won't exercise at all and eat nothing but nachos and ice cream you STILL won't be a failure. You're working harder than you have in your whole life? Great! Just doing that means: You are not failing, you're working…
  • You're much less puffy! Keep up the good work!
  • I do boiled eggs, you can boil them the night before, and put them in a ziploc with some salt&pepper, or maybe celery with nut butter? Ants on a log style. I know you said no wheat but can you do oats? I made oatmeal with coconut milk and portioned it out and ate it cold , like rice pudding.
  • THIS. omg, THIS.
  • so happy for this post, you asked the question so I didn't have to!
  • You are a beautiful inspiration! FANTASTIC JOB!
  • Yesterday I did 5 push ups, this morning I did 10! :tongue:
  • I got my very first car when I was 24. Before then I bicycled EVERYWHERE. I ate whatever I pleased and quite a bit of it as well. I also drank ALL the beers, all the time. When I got that car I ditched my bike and kept the food. Then I split my pants about 6 months later. It's all been down hill from there. Bring lazy and…
  • Keep up with the sobriety! That should be your main goal,above all else. If you ate sugar like you drank alcohol, would you have the troubles that you're going through now? My husband has been sober almost 5 years now. I thank him every day for his sobriety, it's more important than anything, ANYTHING! in his life. He eats…
  • Thank you both so very much! Great ideas and solutions!
  • Sending the husband out with a shopping list today! Great idea, thanks!
  • I think of my children as vehicles for my candy addiction.
  • This is awesome! Great work!

  • Hello, I'm Essa, I'm new to MFP. I started riding my bike to work (11miles) and while it left me feeling accomplished and energized , I was kinda under the impression that I could lose a little weight (40-50lbs) and make my commute a little easier. I downloaded My Fitness Pal and Map My Ride to help me with my goals. I'll…
  • hey, this guy has a good idea!
  • BUY A BIKE, BUY A BIKE, BUY A BIKE!!!! Check out Craig's List though, I have 3 bikes and they all came from there and they were all under $150, even my super awesome fancy carbon fiber Trek Multitrack. Bikes are the most fun I've ever, EVER! had exercising :love: The husby recommends going to BikeForums.net You will find a…
  • Hello! I have been using MFP for 2 whole weeks! I'm currently living in Portland OR but I'm a Tucson native and will be moving back in 3 weeks. I've been bicycle commuting for almost a month now and I want to keep on doing it once I come home to Tucson. I would also like to explore weight training and longer distance and…
