Taking a week off
Hi, all! I started the program on December 1st. With the holiday coming up next week, I will be out of town with no access to a gym or weights. I don't particularly care to take a week off, so I might make an attempt at a run or at least a long walk in the mornings. My question is, when I return, where should I pick up?…

730 Days and Counting
So. Saturday, May 24th was my 2 year MFPversary. I'm crap with words, so if you don't want to suffer through that part, pics are at the bottom. :flowerforyou: Where I started: My boyfriend and I had just broken up. I was pissed and quite honestly, scared. I realize now how ridiculous that was... I wasn't afraid for my…

Hunting for Sport
I just saw this picture on Facebook and cannot believe the gall... Anyone who thinks the slaughter of such majestic creatures for fun should have the tables turned on the "The Most Dangerous Game" style.

Forty days of dating
I stumbled across an article this morning about two friends who have completely different values when it comes to dating - he is a serial dater, sometimes going out with a lot of different women at the time time, and she is a hopeless romantic that jumps into relationships too quickly. They decided after a trip that they…

GoT Memes
I came across a few pictures today that I wanted to post in a "Game of Thrones Meme" thread and realized there wasn't one... A wrong I had to right. :)

It's been a year!
Yesterday marked the one year of actually giving a damn about my health. A year ago I had just gone through a break-up. I wasn't exactly at my heaviest weight, but certainly not my lightest, and I was miserable. The buttons on my size 12 dress pants were threatening to pop off because they were under such strain. I had a…

Bad Lip Reading
I posted this on my wall yesterday, but it's too damn funny not to share with other Walking Dead fans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR4lLJu_-wE

Any Walking Dead graphic novel fans?
I started off with the show and then went back to read the graphic novels. SOOOOOO different! I've only finished through I've only made it through volume 48. The show has definitely focused on developing the characters more than the graphic novels seemed to. I am a huge Daryl fan. I'm glad they created his character, but…

Yahoo Messenger
Does anyone still use Yahoo Messenger? There are a couple of friends I keep in touch with that way and it really makes the day go by faster at work (I still get work done. Promise.) but my list has dwindled. If there are any MFP pals looking for a chat I'd love to hear your weight loss story! silver_arrow3

Eating Exercise Calories
I know everyone has opinions about whether or not you should, but really that's not what I am interested in. What I want to know is for those of you who DO eat back your calories burned, how would you recommend doing so for a person who exercises later in the day? For instance, by the time I get home from the gym some…

Embarrassing Gym Stories
I'm sure we've all got stories... Here's mine - I've been working out for a few months now. I mentioned to my mother the other day that while I am losing inches around my waist, my stomach feels a lot doughier than it did before. Like the fat there has softened and is waiting to finish melting off or something. Anyway, she…

How can I get more protein?
I have a strong aversion to touching raw meat. Because of that, I have found that generally every meal I make myself is vegetarian with the exception of occasional shrimp. I usually have chicken over the weekends because I meet up with my family and they dine out a lot. Right now during the week I eat a lot of almonds and…

Has anyone you trusted given you terrible advice?
A month or so ago I went to the doctor for a routine well-woman exam. I had gone there with the intention of asking for some advice or even some help - I have hormonal issues that I'm currently on medication for, but I have read several articles about doctors prescribing Metformin or Thiazolidinediones for women with these…
