I would not look up on the internet what I should do while being the primary means of care for another person. Please go see your Dr/dietician. There's many things that we may not know.. i.e. family medical history.

Also leg lift variationsare probably doable or some of the floor based yoga / pilates movement?

this is why I stopped commenting on people's EOD diary posts (and removed my EOD update too).. if something looks good i'll let them know but I know everyone has diff goals.. like someone's goal that week could be to limit sugar and/or processed food or to hit their protein goal or they're actually trying to eat all of…

I can see this used to provoke anorexia.. hmm i wish people would just educate themselves.. you can have your cake and eat it too.

and "Sour Grapes"

I wish MFP had a like button.. I've never had a lot to lose so I went slow with myself, and maybe I don't really know how it feels to be obese but I think determination and educating yourself is important. I see people lose and maintain all the time and I think its a testament to how do-able it is. People publishing…

Thank you! Hopefully more progress this year! :-D You're all so inspiring I love being surrounded by people that actually care about their health and fitness!

Thank you!! It felt great to find these :-)

I never thought about this. I think I have a new found appreciation for my machine always being taken up between 1/1 - 1/15 lol

I don't have a weird relationship with food and have no reason to report to anyone or be held accountable about every morsel of that I put in my mouth. I'm healthy and seeing progress and loving life and that's exactly what I wanted out of keeping my food diary.

Does running serve any real purpose in your life? No .. its just a fitness activity that you enjoy.. some of us enjoy CrossFit and pushing our bodies to limits we normally wouldn't try. And actually I don't "box jump" in real life but it improves the movements that you're capable of which yes we do use regularly in our day…

you're a healthy person with a healthy metabolism.. "over calorie" days just means your body was hungry for something.. you've satiated that hunger .. i would just go back to normal eating now

if its a granola bar chances are its pretty low cal.. if not having it is going to make me binge i just eat it i tend to keep really low cal snacks around so that when I want something i can just grab it and it wouldn't ruin my cals for the day. usually when its something like chocolate or candy, i figure if i'm craving it…

you can't get a pop tart clean by just rinsing the outside. its the inside that has all the good stuff

i hear ya! not being able to eat at least your maintenance calories is a sign of either a physical or mental disorder. you don't gain fat by eating less than maintenance without a dysfunctional metabolism.

Waist: I haven't measured in a while Pants: US 4 or 6 depending on the brand Height: 5'3"ish

I think it depends on your work culture.. for my office it wouldn't be rude not to go but I also get along really well with my team so I go for kicks... coworkers always act differently outside of the office and it becomes easier to find coworkers that you get along with better than others. The way I think about it is.. if…

depends on the day and how busy I am.. i love food and there's nothing like coffee & an omelette first thing in the morning. if i know i'm going out for dinner or plan to have a nice big dinner i'll skip breakfast & just do the coffee. i love skipping breakfast some days because that means i can sit down and have a…

swhitney.. pretty! 8.5 :)

^^this.. everyone at the office thinks that I forgot my FB password or don't really know how to get around the site. I'm a child of the 90's .. if I'm not social networking with you .. there's a reason. lol

I think you've answered your own post.. just think about your baby boy and all that is coming. Staying fit & active is a good endurance builder and sticking to a steady diet is a good way to lean up. Good luck to you!

Keeping your speaker on so that the whole floor hears the "ding" every time someone messages you on Communicator.

5'3" about 8 lbs left to go but it may go up.. i'll re-evaluate when I get there. add me if you'd like! :)

First off congrats on getting to 7mph! It sounds like your issue is more power & strength in your legs rather than endurance... i'm talking from personal experience so this may not apply to everyone but what helps me most is doing interval training to get me to a higher speed or I end up stalling. I also do weight training…

I would go get a second opinion, or just come out and ask your Dr why it isn't bad that you haven't had a TOM in a year and whether he knows about the pooch that could be caused by the pill. A week isn't very long to wait. IMO I wouldn't stop your birth control for vanity without talking to your doctor, because there could…

Make an announcement and tell them it's in their honor for doing a good job.. if its "their cake", they'll be pressured into eating it.

just work out extra and fit it into your diary. 5000 for the big macs and another 5000 for the fries? so figure 100 miles? 4 marathons anytime soon? ill join ya and we can do 2 each ;-P

hahah that's hilarious.. a neighbor you didn't like very well?

holiday culture & kicking back/relaxing from the daily grind with my loved ones (most of whom actually don't care what my abs look like) are part of a lifestyle.. mine at least.

Agreed. Why does it matter to someone else what I'm tracking in my diary anyway? Is it affecting anyone else's body in any way?
