I do wonder about the accuracy of the concept of "eat your exercise calories" based on size. For example, a person who begins close to 300 calories and needs to lose half of their body weight seems to be able to lose better (or just as well as anyone else) with higher deficits than MFP estimates. But the closer a person is…

I know you do pinterest, so you could search on there, but... I found a method on there to store lettuce for up to two, maybe even three weeks! Search "lettuce in a jar" on Pinterest, and then you can buy your lettuce every other week, and save money. That's my biggest complaint about some fresh foods--they spoil. I can't…

I started using a new Olay foundation recently. I have never used foundation in my life because it was always so cakey, but I love this Olay product.

This is an awesome idea. Wish I lived three hours closer! :-)

wolf whistle! =)

You look amazing. Congrats!

I used the couch to 5k app, which I think was 1.99. I downloaded several different apps, but it has been the best as far as not crashing. I finished the program, but still use the app since you can customize it. I know it uses your phones gps, but it is also the only app that the gps worked on consistently.

My 7 year old self wondered... Why did God make boogers so yummy if you're not supposed to eat them? My 36 year old self is thankful my 7 year old self was not a rule breaker! Eta: hopefully I was told the rule very early in life, cause otherwise... Ewwww! Why did I post this?!

I plan on logging, but not worried if I go over. However, I'm planning on a 4 mile run the morning of, so I should have lots of extra calories. I've been sick, and my stomach has shrunk, so why stuff and be miserable?

Are these sunglasses crooked, or is it my face? ( in my personal experience, it's my face! Lol)

I have the same problem with my scale. It just depends on how I balance my weight. It's just weird. I'm going to try the one food/re-calibrate method someone above suggested and see if it isn't more consistent. Or just weight once. :wink:

I totally feel ya. I get up early to do my walking/running (depending on the day), but then when I get home from work, I have no drive to go to the gym (for muscle building). Nor do I have much energy for anything else. I am against tanning beds, but I've honestly considered going to one so I'd get some light! My co-worker…

I just want to add a personal tip: 6. When sitting around on your butt playing card games or watching the game keep a plate full of different desserts handy so you don't need to get up and walk away from the game in order to pad your butt some more. This ups your chances of being a double winner.

Craving chocolate? Eat it. Go with a dark chocolate version, and less will satisfy your craving faster. Craving salt? Eat a serving of nuts. I dont believe in omitting any foods, but if you're worried about bingeing, just look for healthier alternatives. Or drink more water.

I rarely wear perfume, since it's difficult to find scents that meld well with my body chemistry. Almost every time I find one, whoever made it stops carrying it. My all time faves were Avon's Pearls and Lace (discontinued ages ago; but it smelled SO good on me) and The Body Shop's Ananya (also discontinued). A student…

Just hang in there and do what you know to do, whether you "feel" motivated or not. I began back in January, lost 19 pounds, then found out I had some issues with my eye. After going through tons of doctor visits and a couple of painful procedures, I just lost all motivation and quit trying. I gained 10 pounds between…

Hi Jack! :-)

I'm 5'9", and I love to wear heels. I used to only like taller men, but now I don't really care as long as he's confident. :-)

You've been improving in leaps and bounds with your time. You totally kick my butt for sure! I downloaded the Galloway 10k app today. I'm ready to amp it up a little, despite my slow time. I'll be running marathons by the time I get to goal! :-D You should sign up to do the Warrior Dash with my sister and me next April. I…

Hi y'all! From south central Oklahoma--Durant. Any other runners in here?

Congrats!

MelMolly and he knows who he is :blushing:

I wish for more wishes! Or notifications. I hate having to scroll back through stuff to see what I missed.

Well, I'm planning on eating whatever and not logging that day, but who knows? I will be super active that day (well, unless it's cold and/or rainy and we're stuck inside)... Or I may just eat a little bit of this and that and not go crazy. I haven't gone nuts in years, just because it makes me miserable when I do, but…

Congrats, you look awesome!

WOW- such an inspiring testament! Fantastic achievement. Truly, what a life-changing story. Thanks for sharing.

You're looking fantastic; congratulations! :drinker:

I completely agree. I think that is the only way I've managed to stay successful and committed. Thanks for the reminder. =)
