Hey, I'm not saying it's the best tasting food on earth, but if I'm in the car and have a buck in my pocket, their Cheeseburger has 300 cals. It's not going to kill me. (THis is making me hungry). I know there is better tasting food out there, but part of the Fast Food equation is the convience. Trust me, if they could…

I weigh every day I'm at the gym, just out of curiousity. But on Tuesdays I'm at the VA and the nutrion clinic has a scale in the basement, so I always use that as my official weigh in day. It's digital and the one at the gym his a weight scale and not always that accurate.

I'm a pretty simple cook, but if you want a good source of lean protein: Turkey Chili one lb ground tukey 1 can of Red Beans 1 Can of diced tomatos or Tomato Paste One chopped onion 1 store bought Chili packet or season to own taste Usually, 1 full cup of this chili has about 350 calories, is low in fat and carbs, and…

Corndogs. I just made some for my kids, and dang it if I didn't take a bite. It's like heaven in my mouth.

Well, what he said about the divorce was a little less than tasteful. As far as being more attentive all of a sudden, hey, it could be as simple as men and women like new things and changes. When you are with someone for a while, chances are the newness wears off after a couple of years. If you are suddenly looking and…

Great job, you look great!

Nope, there is nothing impossible. I can't comment on your goal weight because I don't know your Body Fat percentage. Get scientific with this. Find out your BF %, deduce what a healthy weight for you will be, research the various methods of nutrition and exercise on this site and on the internet, and get busy. You will be…

Sort of a complex issue. If someone had take a picture of me being fat and called me gross or whatever, I wouldn't be too happy. I don't pretend to know why she is so thin or into fitness, that's her business. I definatley prefer my women with more meat than that, but if she is training for something in paticular, she…

What kind of trainer? If you are morbidly obese and get a standard trainer offered at the local gym, almost anything they tell you to do with your diet plus exercise is going to work better than what was being done before....nothing. But if you already know a lot and are in great shape and want to get even more muscle or…

Yes and no. While I do get more confident when I am thinner, I am still a little self conscience about things. Growing up chubby made my learn to make people laugh and be self deprecating. How you feel about yourself is tied to directly to your mental state as well as your physical shape.

I would stick to the portion control. The way I look at it, as long as I am eating sensibly the rest of the time and exercising, I'm not going to torture myself at every family function by abstaining from good food. This has really helped me not get burned out. I plan on eating at BBQs, Birthday Parties, and Holidays,…

Hey everyone. Adrian, 33, living in Indy. Originally from the Valparaiso area. Married, 2 kids (3 an 1), and losing weight.

I wanted to do one in 2012. I talked to a few buddies who live in Indy and they are game.

Thanks for all the answers. Before, I tried my hardest to stay around 2,000 cals a day with some zig zagging. Mostly because I was sure I wasn't always totollay correct on my food portions and i think MFP over calculates my cals burned sometimes.

We had an instance of a teacher grabbing my little sister when she was in elementry school so hard it bruised her arms badly, and a T.A. trying to bully me in elementry. My mother showed up both times ready to unleash hell. My mom is about 5'9, and when her or most of the women in my family get angry, think Sigourney…

From a man's standpoint, since joining MFP, while I don't know the percentages of male vs. female on this site, I would have to say that women were quicker to add me as their friend and guys aren't generally as talkative on their pages or forums. I have a few guy friends on here now, but it's mostly women I talk to. I even…

That is crazy! You look unbelievable.

Awesome! You look fantastic.

They've put you in a horrible position. They are abusing your relationship with them complaining about the other as if you were a friend and an adult, but the minute you say something to their unliking your suddenly their child. You need to tell them to quit coming to you with this crap, because it sounds to me like they…

I am not homosexual, but I value the fact that my family was able to come to a nation and practice or not practice their religion as they saw fit, own weapons, speak their mind and have sex with any adult they saw fit without the threat of violence. Since I am gracious for that, I can not bring myself to ever be against…

You've gotten a lot of good advice so far, but it should also be mentioned that since you have done such a fantastic job of losing weight and are only 6 lbs from goal weight, you might be at a plateau. Generally speaking, guys like me who are shedding TONS of weight can be a little less scientific with our intial diets…

It is completely possible to lose weight while drinking diet pop. The key, like anything else in life, seems to be moderation. I love Pepsi Max. No calories, caffeine AND ginseng. I only have one now about once a week, where before I chugged them all the time. what I have noticed personally is that if I drink any diet pop…

If you are incorporating weight training into your exercises, then your body is retaining water to help rebuild the damaged muscles. Plus, as a female, could your time of the month be a factor? Average weight gain for TOM is 3-8 lbs. Also, as previously stated, are you eating enough? The scale is a fine guide, but what are…

Nice! Looks like it's time to raid the closet for your thin jeans or go shopping.

I would handle it by not worrying about it too much. We are all gonna go to parties at some point, so log what you can, and and don't lose any sleep over it. Especially since you said you didn't over do it. I say it was a victory all around. You looked good in your jeans and showed restraint but didn't deprive yourself.

Personally speaking, I had a huge problem with binge eating. I treated every meal as a feast. I just LOVE food, was raised in the food service industry, and love having a big 3 course meal. I would honestly eat until I felt sick. Unable to move, bloated, fat. Problems only got worse when I quit smoking, because I started…

Because an hour after I stuff my face, it's hours on the throne..............bombs away.

I sort of went through this with both my kids (3 and 1 years old). Every kid is different and they have had their ups and downs, but all I can say is what worked for me was making a quick drop off. I tried lingering for a while and the kids freaked when I left them. I just walk in, give them each a toy and walk out without…

Not currently, but might start the new Star Wars online game in December if the budget allows it.

Twilight, it's just crap Titanic Pearl Harbor The 3 newest Star Wars (ridiculous, don't even bother defending it. The story was week and the special effects replaced solid story telling) Superman Returns (horrible, stupid, made no sense. Man of Steel in 2012 better get it right)
