I usually try to go with some kind of steak house so I can get chicken or steak and a sweet potato (plain) and I pass on the bread. I prefer to go out for breakfast though so I can get a good omelette and bacon.

Yeah, it's a huge difference with a sports bra. I am only a B, but sometimes I forget to change bras before I go out for a run and I can tell immediately. Doesn't have to be a fancy one, just something from Walmart or Target does fine.

The best thing ever was finding out I was gluten intolerant. Now when people try to push cake, donuts, crap on me I just say "Sorry I can't have gluten" and that ends it. You should still be able to find some restaurants with healthy things for you to eat, then when someone suggests going out you can have some choices…

I'm 5'7" My profile pic is me about 200 lbs and then again at 175. I am about 168 now, goal is 150, although I will re-evaluate at that point and see if I need to lose more. I'll take another pic when I hit 160. I think I look pretty good in the mirror, but when I see photos it never quite looks as good. :grumble: The…

I think what started out as saying J Lo and Kim Kardashian are curvy and curvy is beautiful turned into some people thinking fat rolls are curves. I can't believe some of the tiny little shorts and crop tops on girls that are way beyond curvy. I am curvy, but I know what is flattering on me and don't wear stuff that isn't.…

Sorry, I can't go without drinking in the summer time - camp fires, ball games. Maybe in the winter. Well, except Thanksgiving-New Years. Gotta drink to get through the family stuff. So, maybe in January I can go a month without drinking.

I often have 50-60% fat. I LOVE macadamia nuts which really rack up the fat. But I usually lose weight like crazy when I eat them. Wish they weren't so expensive. I get them in bulk from Amazon. I have a hard time incorporating fat into my cooking since I usually just grill the meat and steam the veggies. I will throw some…

There's actually much better erotica books out there than those books. I read all 3 because of the hype, but found them to be pretty repetitive. I would probably laugh hearing my dh read "Oh my" and "down there"

Swimmers - male and females both have great bodies.

I eat Paleo, well Primal because I do eat some dairy. I have been doing it for 4 months and have lost 33 lbs. I am also gluten intolerant so giving up grains was kind of a necessity. I love it, no going back for me. Yes, it can be expensive, but there are cheaper options. Eggs, salad, tuna are all cheap and I eat them a…

Those reviews are hilarious. I just finished reading all 3 books and feel pretty much the same way she does.

It's fine, it means your body is working at peak efficiency and producing no waste. (waits to see if there are any more It's Always Sunny fans on here)

Usually just when I do my hair. I just bought a full length mirror today actually, haven't had one in the house for a long time.

That's a lot of fruit. I lost weight with WW in the past, before having 2 kids. I tried it again at the beginning of this year, but then I realized MFP was basically the same kind of tracking tool and I didn't have to pay for it. Plus the MFP phone app is much better and I like the breakdowns it gives you. I'd start…

A big salad with tuna on it. Cottage cheese with fruit. Beef Jerky. An omelette.

I never knew women liked men's hands so much. Interesting. Mine - lips, waistline, butt Men - shoulders, eyes, smile

You sound a lot like me. You can do it this time! I also weighed less than I do now just 2-3 yrs ago until some bad shi!t happened and I got really depressed and over ate and drank. It is so frustrating. I just now can finally fit back into all the clothes I wore before the weight gain. And I think of the last few years…

Yep, we are both using mfp. We have taken up playing tennis together. At different times, we have each lost weight before, but never together at the same time. It's so much better when we are both changing our eating/exercise habits together. It's too easy to give up when the other person doesn't seem to care. We will be…

I don't tan in a tanning bed, but I am outside a lot in the sun. I use sunscreen if I am going out for a long time, but you still get tan. I think it's fine to get a little sun (my opinion) I just try not to overdo it. You can most definitely tell on older people if they have been lifelong tanners or not. And those women…

You might want to read the book Wheat Belly, it has some good info in it about how it may be wheat that causes some food addiction. Sugar/High Fructose Corn Syrup too. It's not your fault, but it totally sucks, I've been there. My answer was switching to a Paleo/Primal way of eating. It may not be for everyone, but it has…

I exercise so I can eat more. I don't want to have to eat 1200/day calories for the rest of my life and live in fear if I go above that I will gain it all back. Looking better and being healthier is a bonus too, but mainly it's so I can eat my big ole steaks and bacon.

Don't worry about it. You may be extra hungry another day and it will all even out over time. Now if you are always below 1200 you may want to add some higher cal foods in, but one day doesn't matter.

Get a scoop of whatever you want. You can probably find the calories in mfp, just do a search for vanilla ice cream cone. I just had ice cream, then went for a long walk. You can fit it in, so you don't feel deprived.

Try it for 3-4 weeks, see how you feel. If you don't like it/don't see results/don't feel good, stop doing it. I follow a Primal way of eating and my health is better and the weight is coming off without feeling like I am "sacrificing" anything. It's not for everyone.

I cut out all grains April 1 of this year and feel great. Eczema has totally cleared. I will never go back. And I follow more the Primal way of eating as I occasionally eat dairy. All but 5 lbs of my total weight loss has been since cutting grains.

I tell him I'm going to the grocery store and to text me what he wants. I don't really cook for him either though. Unless he cooks on the grill or I make a roast or something, we get our own meals.
