Why DIETING is better than SEX
Why DIETING is better than SEX: You can keep on your clothes. You can jump from diet to diet without feeling guilty. It’s ok if your kids walk in the room. You can do it with your best friend's spouse. Whipped cream is allowed.

HAWAII posters for support
Hi! Is there anyone else in Hawaii who would like to join a thread to support each other? We are unique here in our weather (exercise opportunities) and food (recipe sharing), and I think it would be fun to post with each other. I hope a few are interested in joining in, so we can compare if the rain is keeping us indoors,…

Yo mama so skinny ....
OK, for a change of pace, here are some jokes to poke fun at those skinny folks! :laugh: Yo mama is so skinny that she swallowed a meatball and thought she was pregnant. Yo mama is so skinny that she only has one stripe on her pajamas. Yo mama is so skinny that instead of calling her your parent, you call her transparent.

Question: Do you wash bananas?
Another post about pre-washed vegetables reminded me of this topic: washing bananas. I've always washed bananas when they come home from the store, after learning years ago about the dirty shipping environment and also the pesticides used on bananas coming from foreign countries. And then recently, right here in the US, a…

Do you keep that old "fat wardrobe"?
Do you keep a "fat wardrobe" in case you regain weight? If so, doesn't that sort of set yourself up for accepting that you won't maintain your weight loss? I am working on cleaning out my closet, and am going to get rid of my "big" clothes. If I gain too much to fit into my smaller size, then maybe the discomfort of not…

20 pounds does show!
Today brought a reversal of the usual problem of discovering that my jeans do not fit because they are too tight. Because today, I dug down into the drawer and took out an old pair, pulled them on, and they would not even stay up. I could not believe it! I must have bought them at my highest of nearly 150 over a year ago.…

fun facts
[I saw this list online. I have not verified its accuracy, so some facts might not be true. But still it is interesting.] Did you know... If shop mannequins were real women, they would be too thin to menstruate. There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and only 8 who do. Marilyn Monroe wore a size 12. If…

Skinny Fat ... is that my problem?
Could I be headed for "skinny fat" (aka Skinny Obese)? Skinny fat is being thin, but with high body fat ( instead of genuinely lean and fit). What a horrible thought - that losing weight is not enough. That you can be thin, but actually less healthy than an overweight "fit and active" person. I might have to rethink my…

Fess Up!
OK, purge your hidden secret ... what is the worst thing you ate today? Come on, be honest. We all slip up sometimes, what was your slip up today? And what can you learn from it? Me? Mine was the numerous handfuls of animal crackers. ONE handful would have been ok, but I was a repeat offender, making it my worst thing for…

Needing 8 glasses of water a day a "myth"
This topic came up in another post, and I am repeating my comments here because I think it will be noticed by more people as a "new topic". There is NO SCIENCE behind the advice that you need to drink 8 glasses of water a day. For a starting point on this fact, google the topic, or see the article: "The claim that you need…

Just for fun, a joke
Wife to her overweight husband: Last night there were two pieces of cake in this pantry and now there is only one. How do you explain that? Husband: I guess it was so dark that I didn't see the other piece.

BMR vs Daily Calorie Allotment on Food Chart
Hi. I have questions that someone might help me with. 1) In the tool section is the BMR ["Your BMR is how many calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day — basically, how many calories you burn just to stay alive"] . Mine is approximately 1200 calories a day. That is the same calorie allotment as is on my food chart…

My introduction "Hello"
Hello, here is my introduction to the website. I've used the MFP ticker for the past year (on another site), but today I'm checking out the support that this site offers. I lost 25 pounds last year by dieting and using canned diet shakes, but have regained 12 pounds since the summer. Yikes! But, I am determined to take…
