Overthought things WAY too much

Whew. When I first saw the thread title, I thought you were auctioning off kidneys or lungs or something like that. Never been so glad to be wrong. :flowerforyou:

Maybe if you were less restrictive and figured out how to fit things into a sustainable pattern for the rest of your life, you wouldn't have to keep starting over. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, then, by all means, eat like a diabetic. If you aren't, then there's no reason you should. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

Bump for more feedback please

If he's your ex, why do you care?

FIFY

^^ This. Plus BJs.

That's my question too. OP, there is no reason to give that stuff up. Plus, I seriously doubt that ANYONE could sustain that kind of restriction long term.

It also misses the point. The point of this whole thread (besides the gifs) is that even if you disagree with the delivery, focus on the message because it often is a good one.

(A) 8 pounds in 2 months is basically a pound a week. That is VERY good. (B) "don't seem to have lost any inches, altthough my clothes are looser" If your clothes are looser, you've probably lost inches. Good job. (C) Suck it up. This ain't a diet, it's a lifestyle change. Permanent changes take time. But, as another…

She doesn't know the difference between lose and loose

BULLY!!!!!!!!! :angry:

I agree with the first part of this. OP, your ex is an idiot. Good riddance. The second part, however, I could not disagree more with. "Bully" is a term that is used WAY too easily in this day and age. OP's ex is a jerk and a turd, but nothing in that OP suggests bullying. Not necessarily. Depends on the guy. Shockingly,…

You do realize that's paraphrasing a quote from Young Guns, right? THAT is a classic, not the song.

Mudville, TX. It's a suburb of Dallas. It's very, very small though so you've probably never heard of it. Sorry.

I've asked you not to use my nickname in public.

That stinks. Now you won't want cheesecake on our date at the Cheesecake Factory. :sad:

Belligerent. B-E-L-L-I-G-E-R-E-N-T. Belligerent. I'm positive I want to help rid MFP of illiteracy. :flowerforyou:

Do me a favor. Take a screen shot of this quote of yours. Then, go lift and give it a good, solid, honest effort for 2-3 months. Then come back, find your screen shot of this quote and laugh at yourself.

Yup. I may run a bit but not much else. It would be good for me to work on my double unders at home as well, just to get the technique down, but that hasn't really been implemented yet. Oh, also, you may want to join this group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/99-crossfit-love Lots of good Crossfit info without…

Agreed. Because protein. :wink:

Here's the thing: as a single man in your same age bracket, let me assure you that he doesn't care what you order. As long as you aren't ordering two lettuce leaves for dinner or, on the flip side, an entire school of fish, he doesn't care what you eat. He likely won't even pay much attention to it other than to ask you if…

Ditto.

I'm close to your stats at 5'8" and 41 years old. I'm at about 180 right now and, while I prefer to be around 175, I would agree that you should throw BMI out the window. My BMI is around 27 which classifies me as overweight, but as others have said, BMI does not factor in body composition. Anyone who knows me would not…

How do you know how it makes her feel? Why does MEAN always have to be in all caps? Who appointed you the spokesperson for all the poor and oppressed bullied members of MFP? You, my little friend, are the one being condescending. And, for the record, Paige DOES get it. She works her butt off and has made amazing progress.…

That's not the only conclusion at all. It's words and opinions on an internet message board. No one is belittling anyone. Oversensitive recipients =/= hostile message I agree that most of those people are very reasonable and present well-thought out and balanced arguments. However, their tone is no more "right" than yours…

^^^ QFT

And for me, I would rather be thought of as an *kitten* or an MFP meanie than blow smoke up the posterior of people looking for advice just because they might get their wittle feewings huwted. People need to grow up, get over it and realize that life ain't sunshine and rainbows.

I prefer tiny vulgar unicorn to sarcastic heifer. TVU is funnier and less whiny. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tiny-Vulgar-Unicorn/451299378338775

Clearly the only solution is nose plugs.
