You are amazing! I think you can eat pretty much what you want (within reason and within your daily caloric intake plan) and then enjoy a guilt-free day once a week to keep from feeling deprived. It's amazing how one's tastes change over time though. Now I feel deprived if I don't get fresh fruits and veggies! I'm like you…

Eat More, Drink more water. Vary your routine!

Yet another book to learn yet another computer programming language (surprisingly good and entertaining) and a mix of tax and business books (I can't wait until tax season is over and I can begin my summer reading).

I enjoyed the movie AND the popcorn with a diet soda last Sunday. There was a time when I would get the Extra Large Popcorn with butter and jalapenos with the large drink and get free refills on both (just for myself). Sunday during the 20 minutes of previews and 2 hour and 22 minutes of movie I only ate about 1/3 of the…

And THAT is the BEST part of MFP... the SUPPORT of friends who are working towards the same things you are.

Posted on 03/25/2012 by GabrielMaestas Forbidden… Everyone of my personal training clients has asked me (usually more than once) ‘What’s foods am I NOT allowed to eat?’ The answer has always been the same. “There are no restrictions.” Their look of…

Plus they make for some radical smoothies!

Thank you for sharing. It is pretty amazing the things we see when someone else holds up the mirror. Now if I could stop seeing the "old fat guy" staring back at me when I look in the mirror. He doesn't seem to know he's lost 50 pounds so far!

Major BUMP! Great job everyone!

I prefer to call mine a "free-day". When I first started, I used to do what you're doing, which is an all-day eat as much of whatever I wanted because I was so deprived day. That quickly turned into an activity that made me sick. (It's amazing how quickly your tastes change and how you begin to notice that your body reacts…

When the food starts talking to me I know it's time to rethink how many drinks I'm having.

Proud of you girl! Anything for a hometown gal!

I have no basis for this other than it makes sense and has worked for me... pushing beyond 24 hours is probably not as effective as keeping it in the 8-16 hour range.

Three things: WOW!, *** Wolf Whistle ***, and Cha-Ching!

Lately I've been dreaming about treadmills (and hearing Bob Harper's "Last Chance Workout") and waking up in a sweat. (Do those burns calorie count? I know the sweat and breathlessness are real...) Right now I'd be happy with access to any of the above.

You will always find rabid believers on both sides of any issue. Do I eat my exercise calories, or not? Do I need to wear shoes when I run, or not? Do I need to drink XX glasses of water per day, or not? I think of it like I think of changing the oil on my car, changing the filters, flushing the radiator, changing spark…

Since starting MFP I have always chosen to weigh-in on Thursday mornings. It's as far away from the weekend as you can get. It let's me enjoy my free day in conjunction with Friday's "Date-Night". If I know we will be attending an event with friends or family it's convenient to slip my free day to Saturday or Sunday and…

Be CAREFUL... You shouldn't believe everything you read online.

Hello from El Paso. This is the land of manana (tomorrow) so good luck finding anyone to get up at 0430 to work out LOL

One of my all time favorite standbys.

What if you hooked up, then found out she was your new boss at the company where you hired on? I'd marry her, at least that's what I did (25 years ago) and we're still goin' strong! 'cept she lets me be the boss now every once in a while. LOL

Same can be said for fresh grapefruit.

Do you have access to a pool? You might also try rebounding (mini-trampoline), or a bicycle.

Reese's PeanutBUMPer cups

Coffee mug. Definitely.
