I either do a special K protein shake or protein bar if I know I'm not going to be able to eat until noon or so. The extra protein keeps me full so I don't have that desire to consume whole cows.

lol I might worship the scale A BIT. I weigh myself nearly every time I enter the bathroom.. but I only record about once a week because of fluctuation

Special K is awesome in my opinion. I love the strawberry flavor.

You guys are incredible :) I'm trying to keep it low key so I'm not under the pressure to succeed.. just personal determination. Honestly you want to know what got me thinking again? I'm 252 pounds and clearly overweight. On monday, a girl in my Philosophy of Life class and explained to the teacher that she was sorry but…

amen.

My experience is watching my Dad go through the recovery of a bypass. I probably wont change your mind about getting one, but it isn't pretty. My dad weighed almost 400 pounds at one time, and now he weighs about 140. It's a good change in weight and has helped his blood pressure and sleeping improve. BUT... During the…

I am EXTREMELY conservative... lol I wouldn't be offended but it might make it hard to concentrate!!! :blushing: :wink:

You can add me as a friend to talk to me, or message me whenever you may need support. Not only did my husband cheat and we were a month away from being divorced.. we also had a young son. This was a year ago.. and now my husband's and my marriage is better than ever, we have a new son and divorce isn't even in our…

Can't see any of your after pictures. But the spreadsheets are cool

Go Cowboys! OSU!

try staggering your calories for a week.. that should jolt your body into doing something

I certainly don't know what "clean eating plan" means but for the summer my husband and I ate very limited amounts of proteins in our main meals and a whole bunch of fruits and veggies. I have all sorts of excellent recipes from when we were able to do that and we both lost a bunch of weight! Just message if you're…

Lol and as the OP... what if I just enjoy some healthy debate and fired up people? What now? Thanks for the great read, guys.

LOL I found this waaay funny. Only because often times it is the easiest option as my Husband works as a Manager there and I end up spending quite a bit of time there.. and he gets free food every day. At least we're making healthy choices though.

I keep mine public in an effort to keep me accountable. By knowing that everyone can see.. I generally do better. But that is just me.

Many of you make valid points. Understand I'm not doing this to make enemies.. just to make a point. I guess calling it a "rant" was bad form. I like to make people think.

lol that is sad.. but a little funny too, sorry.

My Dad had that surgery too.. that is also a good point. Good luck to you, too.. it is hard to come back from.

That is a terrific point too.

You're absolutely right. The only reason my diet is so weak at 850 is because I make sure I get that done in the morning and add snacks later.

lol Want ads for MFP.. love it.

It isn't great... you have to add a whole lot to get any good amount of flavor but who knows what you're really putting in your water.

My husband after he showers.....yum.

I log all my food ritually in the morning so I know exactly what and when I can eat. Maybe that will help?

BEST. PILL. EVER. I had PCOS and although it made me sick and lethargic it also cleared up much of my acne, facial hair, irregular periods, mood problems, and helped me lose nearly 100 pounds at the time! Force yourself to get moving.. and seriously learn to love what you're on. That was the best thing that ever happened…

This is a FAD diet. I have never tried it but the only thing proven to make you lose weight and KEEP IT OFF is diet and exercise.. and I mean diet like counting calories and eating healthy. You know.. the hard way. Sorry..

I haven't tried it but I'll be honest. The only sure fire way to lose weight is to count calories and exercise. Output more than you input if you know what I mean.

Me too!!

lol.. I love you :D Be my pal

I am going to a gym and seeing a personal trainer. My biggest irritation is when people accuse me of starving myself or saying I'm setting myself up for failure by trying to lose too much at once. I'm doing this with a medical professional! I wish people would accept I know full well what I'm doing! Also... It irritates me…
