I hear that breast feeding helps you loose weight considerably faster. However I don't know that gaining a huge amount of weight is necessary. I'm over that "my back side has to gain equally or I'll fall over thing. . However if we're talking about my ex-wife she's only on about 18 years.

People who are overly rude online because they don't think you can find them and push their nose in.

great post and well put.

Step one, remove all negating terms and phrases from your vocabulary. I can't, I don't, I shan't , I wont. It's all just another way of justifying not making an inconvenient change. I work 60 hours a week minimum, and on the weekends I teach martial arts to at risk children. Yet I CAN still find the time to get in a…

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard of that app till now. Nice

Welcome! It sounds like you're well on your way.

Fantastic. Personally I think it's more of an ego boost to think of my weight loss in number of sardines. I'm at about 106 of little monsters now. :tongue:

Normally I would have just offered an opinion and left it at that. Regardless of what else I may say here the Armed forces bases are a world onto themselves and some of the safest places in the world to raise healthy, well educated, and well adjusted children. That said, back to being an *kitten* for whatever imagined…

You should find most medical professions in Anchorage. However I know it's probably a bit too late but DON'T GO TO ALASKA!! Sorry I was stuck up there for 5 years watching the endless litter on the roadside pass by on my way to work every day. It's cold and the people think weed is one of the food groups. Other than that,…

I use a Garmin and have done a good deal of swimming with it. The only issue i have found is that he GPS sometimes drops signal when underwater. The HRM has always been fine, chlorine and salt water.

What she said. Personal responsibility is key.

If you want the technical answer I'd say do the math. Sit still for an hour with the HRM on, record how many calories you burn doing nothing. The subtract that from the number you burn gardening, this will give you a more accurate measurement of how many calories you burned over your normal sedentary burn that the body…

With the obvious exception of Vodka I try to live by a "if it's not good for you, don't stick it in your face." philosophy.

No giving in! You are stronger than it is!

You can also purchase an electronic impedance scale. It will show body weight, body fat, bone and water weights and whatever else. I go by the body fat percentage more than the weight personally. For instance last week I lost 1# in weight. However I gained 2# of muscle and lost 3# of body fat. So overall it was a good gain…

All the time. Generally I'll know in advance and work out longer in the morning or right after work. I also try to burn twice what I need to in case I'd like a drink with that.

well that does generally leave only muscle or bone. Weight training will help both.

Could just be a fiber thing, try getting something to smooth things out. However the most important thing anyone here has said about this subject is summarized below: "Your *kitten* is bleeding, call a doctor!" Not in a week or so, but today. It could be something harmless that will fix itself, however it could become…

Both the heart rate monitor and fitness apps are great. If you can spend the money Garmin makes a GPS enabled heart rate monitor with a chest strap. It will do both at once.

kind of sounds like a pick up line. I do know that having a protein shake after working out helps keep my muscles from being sore afterward. Will early morning protein help you loose weight? I can't say for sure on that one. Perhaps increased energy?

You'll do fine. I can understand some of where you're coming from. When I gained weight I felt I had failed myself and that everyone who saw me could see my failure and shame. Part of moving forward was being willing to show off my progress, determination, and success. I hope some of us here have helped you with yours.

could have been both. in either order.

Of course I'm a *kitten*... oh wait you meant him. I respect your opinion just not the logical outcome of following it. Would it be preferable that he not be interested in sex? At which point the whole thing is pointless for both of them. Or that he hide his feelings so that later she can tell him he should "share" more.…

Congratulations!

Perfect. That's going on my workout playlist.

Confidence is built through achievement and rebounding from failure. When it comes to eating or just being in public just tell yourself that they are checking out your chest, not judging you.

welcome to MFP and feel free to add me. However please bear in mind that part of my diet plan is not candy coating anything. :tongue:

Okay, at the risk of being flamed all the way back to my starting weight I'm going to go ahead an be honest. First, no matter where you meet be it a bar, church, or at the melon isle in the grocery store, the only reason a guy is going to go through the trouble of reeling you in and buying you a drink (or a melon) is…
