Awesome job! You look great :D Thanks for sharing.

It has been over a year since my dog has rared up on anyone. I did train him. Before then, the people that my dog has rared up on is people who came into my house or when people allow THEIR CHILDREN into my fence. Period. In the past, neighborhood children have even let him out of my fence. Children also reach through the…

Please note that the OP wants only positive reviews of Plexus Slim working for other people. The title of her topic is "Plexus Slim. does it work" She has clarified to us that she was once a trainer, and now she feels attacked because people are not giving positive reviews of how Plexus Slim worked for them.…

People, would you stop being mean? I mean, really! Stop encouraging people to cut calories and exercise... and cheer people on for eating pizza and sitting on the couch for the love of God, already! So, exactly how many calories does MFP say that you burn when you go to the fridge to get a snack? I am really curious.

Congratulations on your 4 months sobriety. That is awesome. Every day sober is a miracle in itself. I'm glad you're here to share your story. Keep it up. One day at a time.

I have a lab pit mix. I also have a fence. My dog stays in the fence when I am outside. Otherwise, he is an inside dog. When I walk him, he is on a leash. There have been times that he has gotten loose from the leash. As an owner, I do all that I can to protect my dog and other people. I am surprised by the disregard for…

I can't share experience where I have none. I encourage you to seek therapy or counseling or consider OA (Overeaters Anonymous). It is a 12 step group. If you find that it does not work for you, then you are out nothing. I would guess that there are folks there who would share their experience, strength, and hope regarding…

Sunday I listed several pairs of jeans on ebay. Many were new with tags. The jeans that were hardly worn were listed, too. I also listed a pair of Dockers. Most of my clothes have been donated or given to my sister for her and her kids to go through. I still have oversized clothes on hand, though.

Thanks! I've been making them since July. My salads are now in quart size jars.... and the salads just *barely* fit.

Not if you have an addiction.... I have been sober about a year and a half. That means that I have not had a single drink. Being sober from alcohol does not mean that I get to have alcohol in moderation. It means that I need to abstain from alcohol. I encourage you to see a therapist or check out Alcoholics Anonymous, or…

+1 on weighing ALL the food ALL of the time. This definitely matters. I even have a scale at work. I use the scale at work. I prepare my meals at home and bring them to work after I have weighed at home. Where there is a will, there is a way. There are numerous discussions here about how heart rate monitors overestimate…

While I am not a fan of what the seller did, I understand why. Many people on Craigslist will ask sellers to hold things when they are not serious buyers. I have a close friend who did this quite frequently and it irked the hell out of me. For me personally, I offer to put a deposit down on an item if I ask the seller to…

Weights, then I go running.

This is a great topic. I was just fitted for shoes today. I got a military discount at Fleet Feet and was wondering if I should go ahead and get a second pair. I was fitted with the Brooks Ghost 7 in the store, and I see that Ghost 6 is on sale on most sites. So for the benefits listed in this thread, I think I am going to…

I wear men's ExOfficio Give-N-Go Boxer Briefs. Why? No panty line. Why else? They wick away moisture from the skin. They are comfortable. Based on Amazon reviews, I am not the only woman wearing them. They breathe. They are comparable to very expensive sports undies, and I wait for sales before buying them. There is…

Weigh everything. Log everything. The title of your post reads "800 cal/day", but you are not listing everything you eat or weighing everything. I eat a ton of veggies in a day, and most days I eat right at 1400 calories. Veggies add up. I fuel my body for work, exercise, and rest. You also state that you took a nutrition…

40/30/30 works for me.

Let's take a quick step back. The website collects a lot of data and spits out numbers and does not use terms such as TDEE or BMR. And this could very well be part of my issue. It collects a LOT of data but does not fully explain at how they arrive at their recommendations. Does anyone have experience with DRI…

Yes. On my initial member profile I responded that I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week. I passed on my concerns to human resources and have not heard a response. Not have I heard a response from the last email I sent to BePureWellness who sends it to Blue Cross (?).

Yes, they ask the activity level. I checked moderately active. I have a desk job. They ask how many times I work out a week. I a answered 3 to 5 times a week with rigorous workouts.

I am using MFP. This program is being pushed by the state for state employees. The communication I have with BePureWellness is in hopes that I can help other state employees. The state is really pushing this Live Better Louisiana as a healthy way to diet and exercise. Those who are not so fortunate to participate in MFP…

Yes, you are correct. I sent them another email that should make it more clear about what my point is. I entered that my goal is to lose weight. I am 5'5' and I weight 148 lbs. Your program recommended a 1200 calorie heart healthy diet. When I log that I have consumed a total of 1200 calories, and I log a 600 calorie burn…

Exactly. My question specifically says that I work out and I burn 600 calories. Their program doesn't suggest eating back ANY calories that are burned in workouts. Their program suggests that I only eat 1200 calories regardless of how much I work out. My question in the OP and to the program: When I exercise and burn 600…

The program suggested I eat 1200 calories. When I work out and enter a 600 calorie work out into their system, it does not suggest that I eat any more food. So their suggestion is that if I eat 1200 calories, and I burn 600 calories in a workout, that I do not eat any more food. They have an app called Healthy Now that…

Your post on 8/22 says you are a student/library worker... but you now you say you don't pick up your own textbook because it is too heavy. How do you work in a library? Do you work in a library and you are able to not pick up books while you work in the library? I am baffled. Do you go get someone else to help pick up the…

That is awesome.
