ok ok I apologize for assuming you were a troll but .. do you own hand weights/resistance bands/exercise balls or can you buy some? you could use them anywhere.. outside, in your bedroom, anywhere. if you start resistance or strength training, your metabolism will speed up and your body will burn more calories without you…

bumpity!

I totally understand you! it's been a weird week for me too... normally I'm pretty good with staying within my diet guidelines and eating clean but this week... on Monday I was craving a massive bagel stuffedd with anything and everything.. im talking about a massive carb loaded breakfast so I had it instead of my normal…

You've eaten too much when your food baby doesn't fit into your real clothes. You've biked too much when you can't continue with your day because your legs will fall off. Umm.. is this a real post?

1. my food log 2. my gym pass 3. internet boards (including MFP) to figure out healthy vs. not

haha that's what my company breakfasts look like. I always pack something from home or leave something in the fridge even when I know they want to do something "breakfasty" the next morning. its definitely why so many people start to gain weight their first few years on the job. something about a plain bagel with some…

Just a few months ago I used to drink every weekend... I mean hardcore "spilling over the bathroom floor, ready to hook up with the first guy to walk by" hardcore. I was fresh meat right out of college.. what do you expect? haha I haven't drank like that since one of my first weeks on MFP. My coworkers and a few friends…

I get it all the time. I don't know why people discourage it when no I really hate that its just extra bulges. I'm 128ish so I really only want to get to120 but when I say that I always get shocked looks like I've told someone I'm going to turn bulimic or something.

Chug a water bottle or chew a piece of gum or find a coworker to bother with questions? Might help?

bump. we have just about the same stats. would love to see what answers you get to this.

Do you have any big events coming up with people that you haven't seen in a while?

essentially yes but remember every body's different. my body is not the same as your body as your siblings body as your friends body. your weight loss journey is 80% diet, 10% exercise and 10% genetics. some people are highly affected by the amount of sodium they take in while some people can get away with mcd's for bfast,…

5'3" .. I fluctuate right now between 128 and 130 but want to get down to the 115 - 120ish range. I'll re-evaluate at 120 because I feel like 115 may be too small but I have really chunky thighs that I want to get rid of. They will probably be the last to go so whatever weight they start disappearing at is the weight I'll…

You're glowing in that last picture! Awesome job! =)

The article is true in some regard but needs to be taken with a pinch of salt... The group that I think its talking to is the group that I used to belong to. Like many people, I would go to the gym just to use the treadmill for 30 - 60 mins to get myself to run (if you could call it that) at a steady pace. I slowly tired…

Umm... okay I'll start off by saying.. yes MFP is designed with the whole calories in vs calories out but the closer you get to your calorie goal you may find it harder to sustain yourself on snickers bars everyday. That's a lot of processed sugar and would probably also make you sick, and its harder to lose the bulges…

double post

Okay that makes more sense. There were a couple days where I only saw like 500 cals and I was like "?? uh oh something's off" lol Maybe switch out your sandwich to only once or twice a week and instead do a salad with some leafy greens and some form of lean protein.. chicken, tuna, egg? anything you might be interested in.…

Yes... I'm pretty sure if you ate different foods you could keep your cals the same or maybe even increase it 100-200 if you wanted and still lose. For example, your Subway sandwich the other night was 1,700 mg sodium (more than half of your day's sodium limit).. one of the reasons I stopped eating Subway altogether. You…

I originally wasn't eating back my exercise calories and lost my first 8 lbs that way but then it all stopped. It was really discouraging so I started eating them back and it helped. Now I eat only some of them back again and I'm still losing but slower. When you're at a lower BMI (which from your picture it looks like you…

Yeah if you make your diary public we may be able to see what you haven't really tried that some of us have. I've been through a few plateaus and a few times where I've GAINED from dropping calories. A few things that I tried that have now gotten me to start losing again: 1. Give myself one or two refeed days a week where…

I didn't really tell anyone at first but it was hard for me. I have a big family and when they're all eating very high calorie, high carb foods and see you grab an apple and move to the other room, they start wondering haha Then they noticed the change in my groceries from week to week, the added protein supplements, and…

Why does this matter? When I pick the company around me it doesn't matter what you look like as long as I like being around you. Granted there has to be some physical/sexual attraction but.. a kick *kitten* sense of humor and a fun, energetic & lovable personality and we'll get along great ;-)

I follow the 80/20 rule... abs are carved in the kitchen. 80% of your body composition is because of your diet. I eat as clean as possible. when I cheat.. the belly comes back out until I flush it all out w/ a good water intake for a few days. now onto the 20% .. if you're doing just cardio, you need to add some ab/lower…

You can manually input your body fat %. Bumping! Running through it quickly.. the graphs look pretty close to what MFP predicted for me but I want to check for sure when I'm not at work.

I'm not going anywhere! Feel free to add me. :)

So truee! And when I look in the mirror and see definition that wasn't there before! And when a good looking guy does a double take when I walk by or tries to talk to/flirt with me.

A lot of people choose egg beaters because it has the same protein as eggs but with less calories and no fat or cholesterol. if you have the room in your diary, you're welcome to go for regular shell eggs - they're good for you. But if you're struggling to keep your calories down, egg beaters or egg whites are a great…

I like to switch my breakfasts up but some things I tend to eat... Egg whites Fruit Fage 0% Greek Yogurt w/ anything from fruit, granola, peanut butter, honey, etc. Oatmeal Protein Bar Dannon Light & Fit - flavored yogurt Whole Wheat English Muffin Multigrain Bagel Protein Shake w/ berries Breakfast Burrito Cereal I almost…

I use Optimum Nutrition.. usually get it from GNC. Do you go to Crunch by any chance? They usually use DotFit. I used it for a while.. the Vanilla was my first. I liked it. I'd blend it with strawberries or bananas and skim milk. What happened in your past experiences? Maybe that would help us suggest one? Also I wouldn't…
