  • Went to visit family in Washington DC and to see as many monuments as we could get in. If you haven't been there, the monuments are pretty much scattered over the city. You will walk several miles, plus the time you spend in the various Smithsonian museaums. We did this on 5 hours sleep - and with a single '5 Hour Energy'…
  • Really an awesome job. Not only do you see that you look fantastic in your thighs, tummy and legs - your face thinned out and you look absolutely devastating. Great job!!
  • Had a job with a company where I didn't even announce that I was getting married - just showed up after a week's vacation with a wedding ring - never said a thing. Miserable people, miserable job, miserable place to work.
  • This has a variety of answers - but HR has a huge influence on this. If your HR has a policy where you are competing against your peers for your very job - anything you say can, and will be used against you by your co-workers; to hurt your review and futher their careers. Been there, was on the receiving end, got the…
  • There is only one room in your apartment that he can sleep in, unless you want him to move out and sleep on the couch. You are setting yourself up for needless relationship troubles. If he has a job; he HAS to be well-rested to do his job; or else he soon won't have a job. The Eliptical is a mobile device. It can live in…
  • You inspire us, each and every day. And you have a wonderful sense of humor too. Gonna start working out even harder, I hate plateaus' and I've had a couple days of going a little over - back at it with attitude this time and I hope I can punch through my first 20 lb plateau. With someone like you to keep posting and…
  • Fantastic job!! You really trimmed out - looking so much better.
  • aj has it 100% correct. MFP already has a calorie deficit calculated. 3,500 calories = 1 lb of body fat. Your body DEMANDS a certain level of calories to sustain itself, if you go beyond a certain limit; you will go into Starvation Mode (and stop losing weight) and then your body will consume a very good source of protein…
  • Tough to beat eggs and cheese. Omlettes, boiled - or my all time easy to-go habit. I affectionally call them hockey-pucks. Whip eggs in a blender. Either pre-cooked sausage or cook your favorite sausage. Cut up an onion, and grab a bag of shredded cheese. Get a muffin pan (I prefer the jumbo muffins). fill about half-full…
  • I've had them, they start with a pain in the kidney area - like a dull backache. If you are on meds, for pain - then it's on the way down. Drinking lots of water will help flush it down, and excercise will help it 'jiggle' it's way down that tube. They aren't much fun - but when they finally pass, you will know it. Really…
  • That's gotta feel fantastic. I remember giving away a lot of my suits for the exact opposite reason - and some of those suits were really expensive!! The people who got them, were delighted to get them; now that I'm heading down the scale (too slowly for my tastes) - I kinda regret giving them away. But, I'd rather get NEW…
  • Great job!
  • 500-700 calories per day + 1410 + ~300 calories for basic living (walking, dressing, shower, ect) - 500 cal (3,500 cal/lb / 7 days) Yields in the neighborhood of 1,800 - 2,000 calories per day.
  • A year later, and you look 10 years younger. Great work!!
  • Very nicely done ... you've done what I'm working on doing. Great post!!
  • Rachel; You are half the physical woman you used to be, but you are definitely twice the lady you were.
  • Then act angry, and surprised when he gets it somewhere else. Sex is a need, just like affection, food or sleep.
  • I've done DisneyWorld 9x, a week a throw ... my advice is STAY ON-SITE at a Disney Resort hotel. You REALLY wanna do that. Here are some of the reasons. No need for a rental car - take the tram or bus. Parks open early for guests, parks stay open later for guests. If they are still doing E-Ticket nights - that is the best…
  • The cruise is an opportunity to test yourself. If you want hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza and ice cream and want endless quantities of these - you will gain weight. But, if you want to eat healthy foods, veggies, lean meats, delicous fruit dishes, light and healthy eating - you will have ample opportunity to do this. Every…
  • There is an entry for Chinese Buffet - it's like 600 calories per plate. So, put yourself down for how many 'plates' you think you ate. At least it gets the calories in the ballpark.
  • EXACTLY.!! Some day, maybe years from now - someone is going to review your resume' and start calling past employers. If you burn this bridge; it may mean you miss out on your 'dream job' years from now. Never burn a bridge - be classy - be polite - be gracious -be grateful for the time, training and experience you gained.
  • If you were to buy this, it would have been in the 600-1200 range; depending upon features. Free is great. If the motor turns the belt - you are ahead. I'd suggest you get it.
  • For Swimming, Swim-tracker app in the iTunes store "allows swimmers to log a wide variety of data about their swimming routine, allowing them to chart their progress and identify areas for improvement. Among the many things that Swim-Tracker can do are: log best times, track your total distance swam, track your various…
  • Some airports have a Subway sandwich store - those are great. If not subway - you may find another similar sandwich store. But, a calorie is a calorie. Sugars will make you ravenous later - while the almonds will keep you satisfied for a while. As long as you budget your meals, you can have some yummy snacks packed away.…
  • This question is often asked. Pinch the back of your hand. That is what loose skin looks like. The fatty 'apron' or 'belly' you describe and we all fear, is a mixture of loose skin, saturated with subcutaneous fat, and a lack of connective tissue (hence it just hanging there). So, how do you avoid and/or fix this? Simple.…
  • Good question. Pinch the back of your hand. That is what loose skin looks like. What your 'apron' is, is skin that has lost connective tissue, and has enough subcutaneous fat that it's draping. How do you fix that? Well, part of the reason you have this problem is lack of exercise. You see, your body doesn't want to burn…
  • Phenominal!! Truly amazing -your tummy tighten up far better than I would have dared dream. I'm amazed.
  • Abs? Where does she shop? I can't find her outfits at K-Mart, Sears, JC Penny, Kohls or Walmart - maybe she goes to a different class of garage sales than I do.
  • You are probably in the same boat I am. When you are in the 280lb range - having a 3- 5 lbs swing on a day-to-day isn't uncommon; in fact it's very common. Think of it as your body maintaining an operational range of +/- 0.7% variation. Yeah, I mean your true point wasn't likely your lowest weight - but slightly above. Now…
