If he asks you questions, answer them. But telling you he needs to buy the next size up in pants is not asking you a question. Hopefully the fact that his pants are getting tight will be some motivation to get rolling. That was one of my motivations....enough was enough with moving up in pants size. Perhaps you could…

just keep cooking healthy meals and giving him reasonable portions. as for the scale and denial...I wouldn't touch that scale when I was at/near my heaviest. However, I lived in a state of denial that I was only meaty and not fat. Near the end of 2010, I admitted to myself that I was fat and that helped me get on the…

^^ THIS ^^ I used to be in your husband's shoes. For a LONG time, I knew I needed to lose weight and get healthier. For a LONG time, my wife, mother and grandmother told me that they were concerned about my health and wanted me to lose weight. I knew they meant well, but truthfully, it all came across as nagging....and…

it would be very difficult to describe the litany of bodyweight exercises that you could do to build strength. your best bet is to do one or more of these things: 1. (as folks have mentioned)...go to google and search for "bodyweight exercises" 2. go to youtube and search for "bodyweight exercises" 3. go to bodyrock.tv and…

yes, this is a great site for tracking calories, but allow yourself to take advantage of all of the inspiration/motivation/encouragement that MFP has to offer. this IS an amazing site...lots of power if you seek it. Here's what one of my pals said about what MFP has meant to her (and its pretty dang awesome):…

your friend doesn't know what he's talking about. there is NO FRICKIN' WAY that someone's weight stays the same throughout the day..NO WAY. Step back, forget the person is your friend, and think about it. 5 minutes after you eat a healthy lunch with 16 ounces of water, do you think you're going to weigh the same as you did…

yes, you should do that.

the iphone 4s is not on a true 4g network. I don't know all the tech lingo involved, but I think its supported by HSPA+ or something like that, which gives it the feel of what most current 4g networks offer. regardless, the iphone is plenty fast. keep in mind that some computers which appear to have better specs just…

as someone who recently converted from an Android phone to an iphone 4s and had a similar debate, here's what I think it boils down to. if you are NOT tech savvy, the iphone is more user friendly than the droid phones. if you use your phone for taking pictures and/or listening to music, the iphone is better. if you prefer…

I'm sending you a FR. I used to tell people, including myself, that I was just big boned and meaty. Then at the end of 2010, I finally acknowledged that I was fat. That was a critical admission.

@xoxmal... 9 ... love the pose.

keep working at it and the inches will go away as well. perhaps your clothes fit a little better now and its difficult to accept that 12 pounds hasn't put you into a different size.

Erika -- I have been on this journey for about a year so far and I have learned lots of things. I joined MFP about 6 months ago and its one of the best things I have done. One thing I know is that MFP is one AWESOME PLACE for encouragement/support/inspiration. I am sending you a FR to share these things with you as we…

@Pazzap...nice smile :) and those are ray bans that I'm wearing (that was my Sunday morning bike ride gear as I got ready for a ride in sunny Florida's mid 30s.

this is good advice (assuming you get your mindset straightened out first). My journey started about a year ago. When I started, I focused exclusively on what I was eating and didn't worry about exercise for 2 1/2 months. I lost 21 pounds during that time and wasn't even eating as healthy as I'm eating now....I was just…

I see a lot of winning in those pics. Keep working hard on this journey and more winning awaits you :)

@seehawkmomma...nice hair. you are going to rock that hot red outfit you want to wear.

I don't think you have the mental part of this journey straightened out yet and if you don't have the proper mindset, all of the things you listed are going to happen to you. I think it is very beneficial to spend some time digging up the things you hate about your lifestyle and the reasons you want to change it. If you…

I agree that 80-90% of fat loss is made up of what goes into your mouth. exercise brings other benefits (i.e., cardio health), but its important to get the eating correct. I spent the first 2 1/2 months of this journey just focusing on eating and I lost 21ish pounds without a single lick of any exercise. I then started…

your diary isn't public so its difficult to give you any sort of specific advice, but these are things that might be hindering you: 1. if you are using MFP's estimate for exercise calories burned, then you are probably overestimating calories burned since most folks who acquired a HRM have reported that MFP's estimates are…

great job so far. stick with it and more winning will come.

One week is too small of a sample size to answer your question. There are so many factors that go into your scale weight. You could do the EXACT SAME THING week to week and NOT GET THE SAME SCALE RESULT. Just works that way sometimes. speaking about water specifically, I'm in the group that believes drinking half your…

I have more energy now than at the beginning of the journey.... In addition to the benefits of weight loss and exercise, I believe one thing that made a BIG difference was dumping soda/caffeine by the end of April. Since that time, I drink water and sobe lifewater pretty much exclusively. Caffeine gives a temporary high,…

you can and WILL lose weight with eating right. exercise has its benefits, but in terms of fat loss, what you eat and drink is at least 80% responsible. I started the journey last January and went almost 3 months without ANY exercise. I lost over 20 pounds during that stretch. Had I chosen to continue the journey without…

if you don't tell him, you're just giving another girl the chance to. WHAT IF you never have the chance to find out his feelings for you because you didn't tell him your feelings? No need to use the love word, but tell him that you have strong feelings for him.

of the 3 choices you listed, the trampoline is the easiest choice because it will actually give you a workout. you can't spot reduce, so the ab circle won't do jack for you. I had the gazelle a long time ago and the range of motion is limited (i.e., you can't get a full lower body extension on the swing) so its of limited…

awesome job! I hated having my picture taken when I was heavy (70 pounds ago), but now I sort of regret not having any true before pics for comparison. Of course, I'm not going back to get them. Keep up the great work!

You have done a lot of winning. Keep up the great work :)
