I applaud them starting out on the fitness road... with that said, I rarely run into any of them because I am generally in the gym after 9pm.

I play 4-6 man sand volleyball and just started playing 6-man hardcourt again. I wear a heart rate monitor while I play to get an accurate calorie burn. I consider what I play competitive since we always do bump/set/spike and I'm drenched when I'm finished! It depends on how hard I have to play, i.e. how competitive the…

Kashi oatmeal, almonds, GoBites snacks, fruit...

It's not really useful for ANYONE who is athletic and carries a lot of muscle mass... I am a volleyball player with very muscular legs and shoulders all the time... given that I would like to lose 10-15 more lbs, I'm still considered obese by the BMI standards though I wear a size 8 or 10 in pants. My doctor did body fat…

I actually like quinoa for breakfast... a little brown sugar and a little butter... YUM! I also eat it with a can of Rotel diced tomatoes and chiles. Super simple, but tasty lunch.

I've had my Mirena since March 2010 and I'm almost 35 lbs less than I was when I had it put in. I have been consciously working on losing weight since then obviously, or I wouldn't be on MFP, but it hasn't hindered my progress. The only thing hindering my progress was ME - not eating well consistently and working out…

^^^ This... as long as I am happy with my macros and it fits into my plan for the day/week, I eat it.

Losing weight is such a mental battle... I've just started to realize that I look much better and it's been 3 yrs in the making! Just keep up the good work and your mind will eventually catch up! I agree with the picture thing... I saw some pictures of me recently from 2008 and was like 'Wow! Do I look different now?'

Awesome! I'm 4 yrs post baby and I continue to work at it... it's an ongoing process for sure! Congrats on your great weight loss!

Low and slow is always best! LOL

I watch the show also, mostly for entertainment though I do see some exercises that I 'borrow' from time to time. I think based on the weight loss %, her team would have lost anyway, but I was shocked after so many seasons of doing this that she broke the rules. It was probably her product that she used too! LOL Dolvett is…

I play volleyball, so I carry a lot of muscle in my legs and back. My ultimate goal weight is 140, but I'll be happy between 145-150. I'm currently down to 156. I tend to go by how my clothes fit rather than what the scale says though.

^^ This! I always take a packed lunch, so I don't end up running to the cafeteria or out for fast food... it really helps!

Grande skinny caramel macchiato... hot or cold, doesn't matter!

I have been using my FitBit and MFP for a while and have seen consistent losses, as long as I'm being consistent with my food logging and with exercising. I do not use the calorie burns for exercise from MPF, from my FitBit, nor from the machines. I purchased a heart rate monitor and was shocked at the differences between…

Jameson and water... I usually do a single shot in a tall glass with ice, so I can enjoy some whiskey and not kill my plan!

Starbucks Grande Skinny Caramel Macchiato hot/cold... that is all.

I never use the MFP calculated calorie burns... Invest in a heart rate monitor and get a more accurate accounting of your exercise.

Agreed...save the bacon! Maybe all egg whites and load the rest of it with veggies.

Oh, forgot about him... wow, how could I do that??

Nathan Fillion from Firefly/Castle.... sigh... And Liam Neeson because he is such a bad-*kitten*! LOL

\ Wooo Pig Soooie! Razorbacks!

Green Bay Packers!

Beach volleyball or hard-court indoor volleyball.

Reese's and Caramel Apple Milky Ways... I can't get enough of those stupid things! :)

When my son whines I tell him to stop acting like Caillou... that does the trick!

^^^ This! I can't even understand why that horrible show is on the air!

Music and sports on TV.

Sometimes, but I've been able to make good modifications to some unhealthy foods, so I am satisfied and I don't kill my eating in the process.

^^ This, but lately I've been using facial cleansing cloths to take my makeup off before I go in. I'd never put makeup on just to look good at the gym.
