Amazing. Congratulations to you both. And a great reminder for people to sign their donor cards.

I'm pretty sure most people will throw up if they work out right after they eat. i know i need at least 60-90 minutes even after a very small meal.

I would never criticize someone's diary. However, I also will not give any encouragement to someone whose diary is completely and consistently filled with junk (and I've seen LOTS of people who eat up their calories with McDonalds and Jimmy Dean consistently without a fruit or vegetable to be found). So, I don't think it's…

That is nothing short of amazing. Congratulations on your success.

I'm guessing there are more men who wouldn't date rude women than women who wouldn't date shorter men. There's a way of being honest without being mean. You should add that to your to-do list.

Hummus and veggies.

One year, 9 months smoke free. I used a book called Allan Carr's Easy Way. I would not have believed a book could do a thing to help you quit smoking. But, it just changes the way you think about it. I tried a hundred times to quit that 30 year, pack a day habit. Only the book worked. It's 15 bucks or something like that.…

Love the tube of Pringles in the BEFORE pic! It made me laugh. You've done a great job. Obviously, not too many Pringles!!!

Funny. But, really you look like Steve Harwell, lead singer of Smash Mouth.

If you don't believe in living together, then by all means you shouldn't. Just like people who don't believe in marriage shouldn't get married. Or people who don't believe in pre-marital sex shouldn't have it. Or people who don't believe in monogamy, shouldn't be monogamous. So, yes, it's a legitimate opinion and you…

:flowerforyou: The winner of the BEST RESPONSE EVER.

Thankfully for Vegas, there are people like me who love to gamble, take in shows, eat great food and have a few cocktails. There are also great spas, fantastic shopping and laying by the pool, which I also love.

This sounds DELICIOUS!!!! I wonder if it will work with boneless, skinless, breasts....

I've completed it once and months later (after I fell WAY off the wagon) am doing it again (a few days into level 2). From what I've read and experience personally, the victories aren't seen on the scale with most people. But, the inches? Everyone who does it (and does it for real) notices a dramatic change in both shape,…

I started, but then realized there were SO many and they just kept coming. Felt like emptying the ocean with eyedropper.

Difficult to tell size from pic because we don't know how tall you are or the size of your frame. If I was forced to answer I'd base it on average height and average frame say an 8 US, which is like a 10 UK think??? Either way, you look healthy.

Level 2 Day 2 was yesterday.....feeling sore today, but I've completed this before so I know i"m going to be more sore tomorrow and just pushing, the sore will go away. I did forget how much harder level 2 is though!

This is my pet peeve. In general, the machines are easily 30-50% out of whack and so is MFP. It's not just a little bit. a LOT. I have a hard enough time sticking with diet and exercise without having false burn numbers giving me disappointment. But, honestly, when I have said similar things, most people don't really want…

Why can I only see frogs in ice cubes and not pics?

Remarkable! You are truly inspiring.

Given that shoes and clothes have different sizing systems around the world, this is pretty much impossible to be correct. Unless you think you should be bigger in some places than other :)

Welcome Bryan, you have come to the right place. I don't have this down pat by any stretch of the imagination, as I'm just back on MFP after a 2 month hiatus. But, I have learned a lot and you will too. So, here's some advice: -go to the docs and find out what you really weigh, you're going to deserve to celebrate every…

I finished Day 4 today and I'd like to join your challenge if you don't mind me being a couple days ahead. I completed a round back in July-August . It's very effective if you do it!

this is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea. Nicotine is VERY addictive. Yes, it does speed your metabolism and it does burn calories. But, trust me, as someone who smoked for 30 years, kicking nicotine is WAY harder than busting a plateau. If any doctor recommended this, they should have their license revoked.

My one year anniversary is tomorrow and I've read a lot about this. There are two issues, one is that most people eat and snack more to fill the void. But, the second issue that people rarely talk about is the calorie burn you get from nicotine. I've read that Smoking a pack a day burns a good 500 calories or so.…

EVERYONE (except for a maybe a couple exceptionally rare people) has days where they go over. First of all, 500 calories isn't that much. Add a few extra minutes to your workouts for the rest of the week and poof, they're gone. But, most of all, just move on. It's just not a big deal unless you do it day after day after…

You are an inspiration!!!! Congratulations

Congratulations for taking control of your health and for being super honest and accountable with yourself. And you know what? Congrats on passing that incredible milestone, no matter how it was achieved. If you were starving yourself on purpose, it would be one thing, but I don't think you'd be beating yourself up if you…

Please be careful. I developed some very bad habits when I got addicted to the scale. I was completely unable to apply logic and be rational about ups and downs and plateaus. It was a very large part of undereating and then overeating, very unhealthy behaviours. This time, no daily weighing, no weekly weighing. I will…

I've also read that soluble protein post-workout is more quickly absorbed and therefore more effective. In other words, drink a protein shake instead of scarfing a chicken breast. I don't vouch for this, but thought I'd throw it out there.
