What is it you're wanting reported back?

Did you file a police report? Then, I'd call Apple and see if there's any way they can track it... never hurts to try, right? Same for your phone. KEEP trying to track both for at least a week. Believe it or not, I had someone track ME down after I lost my purse and it took them 2 days. But I get it... I'm a student too…

Wow - you've got alot going on. Have you considered counseling by any chance? The reason I suggest this is that it sounds like you may benefit from some minor behavior modifications and a good therapist can help you learn those and incorporate them into your daily life. The ones I see right off the top are: 1) self-talk -…

clioand: it's kind of a wake up call for me. Even if I'm not "obese" in reality, it still speaks to the extremes of my body fat percentages. Which means I've not been committed to me and there's the evidence; regardless of what box you shove it in. *sighs*

Pictures... I haven't posted any *real* body pics... really don't want to. BUT... imagine what it'll do if everyone posts them and you see over the span of weeks everyone's getting slimmer............................................ Just a thought.

Thanks everyone.. I just .. I have to get a handle on this. A year is long enough to be stupid... I have to get over myself (AAAAAAHHHHHHgain) and just do this thing instead of .. screwing off, really. I make so many damned excuses for myself and look at where its getting me? Heart attack city. Yay me. SNARF!

I can never remember if I do this right.. but here's samples of what I did. Hopefully.. you get the images! If not, I'll try again shortly. This time?

What do you have in mind? Funny I'm reading this.. I just made (and I mean they JUST finished printing!) two excel sheets - one for workouts and one for meals. I don't like meal planning - I hate it. So, I left *some* room for flexibility - but I've got to force myself into some structure. I'd be happy to share them, if…

Funny you mention this - I looked this up a few weeks ago because I just generally wanted to know about this interaction and where potassium fit in and all that and it turns out that the relationship between lactic acid and sore muscles is not at all significant. If I remember right, the most recent studies were suggesting…

HAHAHAHA!!! I couldn't resist. lol. I was wondering if you'd catch on and I honestly couldn't decide if I hoped you did or didn't. *giggles*

He would chuck what a wood chuck would chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.

Hmm...mine came from this great little hole in the wall place I can't remember the name of. Purported to serve the best in town. :devil: But yours sounds better. :smokin:

Where'd your best screaming orgasm come from?

Hmm...could be muscle fatigue. Just a stab in the dark... maybe you're not giving yourself enough rest time to "heal" and so until you're really good and warmed up, you're feeling it more. Hopefully others can shed more specific light on this for you.

New trial: when want, drink (water).

This is definitely a community and let's face it... not everyone in a community gets along all the time. Human beings. Go figure. Alien creatures. :wink:

Damnit, TG - I told you you weren't allowed to write anymore tonight!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: My bf thinks I'm crazy every time I break out in spontaneous laughter over here. Okay, he thinks I'm crazy for other reasons but that certainly doesn't help!!! :laugh: :wink: :laugh:

tabiecain: Don't give up. It took me a year to figure out what I needed to do because I'm weird apparently. lol! Just try reducing your cals by 100 for a week or two and see what that does and keep doing that until you're down to 1200. If that doesn't do it, then go back to your starting line and increase by 100 until.. I…

Hmm.. Carrots, celery and a water bottle. My other suggestion is not appropriate for public viewing. :laugh:

I should do that... you're right. But I'm my own worst enemy on this one. She's only here once a week. I'm going to try a new approach... I'll let you know if it works. :-)

Hellen: Graham crackers? I'll friend you and I'll TRY to describe them. LOL! Alot of what I've been eating lately has been very produce heavy and geared in the Indian direction. I'm wanting to go without beef and pork for a while. I love beef, but I'm ready for a lighter, healthier diet for a bit. If I feel the need for…

TG: You are AWESOME! lol.. I mean that. Your posts just have been making my day lately. :-) Say hi to the piggies!!! hi hi hi!! lol

Hellen: I've been doing this for a year and I've thoroughly experimented with my calorie consumption, primarily based on the 1200 goal. I'd always suspected I was a slow burn but had no evidence and after starting here, the whole "starvation mode" concept really worried me because I *have* starved myself (but not to the…

The thing I don't like about most of the studies is that they deal primarily in those who are obese or severely obese. Does anyone have an article that deals in semi-average sized persons, weight/height ratio? There's a pretty big difference - in every possible way - between someone that needs to lose 20 or 30 lbs and…

Also, are you at a gym? I can't afford one so everything I do is at home - but I've fallen off the wagon too. :-( the workout games are fun.. zumba is great...I also have Jillian's Shred trio. I'd like to get Tae Bo but I should probably wait until I'm willing to consistently stay on track.

I have an account too that I don't use. It's just too busy and difficult to navigate. MFP is clean cut, direct, simple and just... more user friendly.

I looked at some of the articles that were post-posted (LOL!) and I have some questions - I'm including some bits for the purpose of referencing. Article 1) Starvation diet and very-low-calorie diets may induce insulin resistance and overt diabetes mellitus. Koffler M, Kisch ES. Diabetes Unit, Tel-Aviv University Medical…

Whew.. lol.. okay, I'll try to keep my response to your response to my response a little shorter. TRY. :laugh: It seems that the debate in this particular instance is whether or not going under 1200 (by a reasonable amt!) will put one into starvation mode and ultimately, it sounds like it would be a far more complicated…

You didn't think of it because you're too close to it and have too much going on in your own head. :-) And that's totally okay. SOOO glad you got some reassurances out of this step and the conversation. Please, let us know how things progress - for both of you!!! :: hugs ::
