My marriage depends on this survey...
OK...here it is. My wife and I have two things that we fight about constantly. Bananas and Cereal. She will not eat cereal unless they are completely soggy and have sat in milk for about 5 minutes. I like to feel the crunch of my cereal, when I do eat it. She insist that bananas are meant to be peeled from the stem and…

It's about time...
I don't know if this will be considered political or what, but here goes. Yesterday marked a significant day in the history of our Armed Services. For the first time, openly gay men and women are allowed to serve in Uniform without fear of discharge. I for one, am in total approval of this. As a veteran of the U.S. Air…

Time to brag again...
Today is day 125 for me on MFP. Let me praise myself on my accomplishments of the past few months. At my last weigh-in 2.5 weeks ago, I was at 55# lost. I am also down to a size 36 from a 42 waist. I can get in some of my L shirts instead of my 2XL. I can now run a mile+ without stopping. Four miles during lunch is like an…

NSM...No Scale Movement
Yes, I have decided to do it. I am no longer going to be a slave to the scale. It has been two weeks now that I only weigh-in once a week. I made the decision on yesterday to only weigh in no more than once a month. My priorities have changed to where I am no longer really interested in just losing weight. I just want to…

Hurricane Etiquette?
For my Northern friends. Here are some Hurricane etiquette that will probably save your life from a Floridian who have survived many a Cat 3-5 so that makes me an EXPERT: 1. Her name is Ms. Irene. Calling her out of her name may get you blown away. 2. This is not the best time to take surfing lessons at the beach, or…

Are you a 51%er???
A survey done in February of this year: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1358025/Sex-starved-How-half-women-sacrifice-year-making-love-meant-skinny.html Question 1 is: where do you fall? As I was reading this, I thought of something else. If you knew for a fact that you were going to die in 5 years(in an accident,…

I will tell you when I need your opinion...
For my MFP friends...I was about to lose my religion yesterday because someone sent me a nasty IM about my food diary and how they as an athletic trainer thought I needed to change. WTF. I was gonna rant and rave and talk about how his momma should be in jail for not squeezing her legs when he was coming through the birth…

Unofficial survey question of the day.
Answer this survey about Macro Nutrients... 1. I know all about it. 2. If it taste like chocolate, I am all over it. Just cast your vote with a 1 or two. Additional comments welcomed. And my vote is 2 with a twist, a snap, and a neck twirl...lol.

Gone but never forgotten...
As a tribute to our recently fallen soldiers, I am asking that all my friends take a moment of silent today to say a prayer for our troops. Sometimes we lose sight of the big picture and what Freedom really means. Whether you agree with war is not an issue here, it is about the brave men and women who put their lives on…

HRM Management
I do every exercise using my HRM adn those are the calories burned that I log. If I leave it home, I will go back and get it before I start working out. The question is how do you guys try to keep accurate logs. I have heard of some people starting to log as soon as they put it on, while others turn it off as soon as they…

iImy mind
I just posted this as a blog, but wanted to also post it as a topic to reach more people. In my mind I'll always be his lady. (I'll always be) In my mind I'll always be his girl. Only time will tell if I'm his lady ( Only time ) But in my mind I'll always be his girl. These are the lyrics to a Heather Headley song called…

I finally got to do her...
Today at the gym, I decided to approach her. We never had anything in common. She liked it with my hands moving, I liked my hands to be still. She liked my feet going up and down, I like my feet going forward and backwards. I liked taking my time, she wanted to rush me. I liked watching TV while I was on her, she only had…

Sedentary job...No problem
A friend just asked what she can do to stay active during her day at work when she is bored. She is a waitress. These are some of the recommendations I suggested. Walk in place wall push-ups Squats using chair walk around building during break--unless you live in the Midwest or Northeast bicep curls with bottles If anyone…

Halfway there...
Since I started on my weight loss journey on March 12 of this year, I have lost 45 pounds. That is an average of 2.4 pounds a week. It has not been easy in lots of ways with family, work, vacation, and the dreaded PLATEAU getting in the way. I am sharing this because I want to encourage each and everyone of you that reads…

Positive Vibes.
What a week this has been on MFP. I have seen post where people are sad, upset, mad, pissed off, rejected, depressed, and every other negative thing you can think of. There was a thread this week that was even geared towards what offends people, and I must admit that I got on that bandwagon also. Today, I want to do…

Grown and sexy talk
All MFPers who are under 18 are excused to go to your room. This is some grown up ish going on in here now. I have a very simple discussion I want to begin today with. I have found a huge added benefit to losing weight. As most of my friends know, my wife also has dropped almost 20#s in the last 4 months to a schoolgirl…

Results of my personal cruise challenge.
So today was the day I scheduled to do my weigh in after my cruise. I decided to give it a few days after to account for water weight gain and also my strange illness this past weekend. The Results: Pre cruise weight---219.8. Post cruise weight---220.4 I am absolutely freaking stoked. I feel like breakdancing. After being…

Cruising soon...What to do? What to do?
So folks. The time of the cruise is nigh. I am not asking for what to or not eat, but was wondering if anyone have ever went on a cruise and not gained, or even lost weight(not including Rotavirus victims). I have challenged myself to do just that. I will be weighing myself on Monday AM before leaving and will post weight,…

When was the last time you remember...
Crying? It could be a simple tear jerker or full on bawling. What did it for you? Be it a movie, a NSV, a scale victory, bad or good news, or hurting yourself. Share with your fellow MFPers what it took to open up your tear ducts. I know some of you are still thinking this topic was about something else, but PP and NewLK,…

I hate drinking water, but...
Most of you know I am a Florida boy and after working out in the sun yesterday, I weighed myself and was at 219.2. Yesterday morning, I was at 224. Now I know there is no way I lost 5# in one day so I looked at it as water weight and knew it would balance itself out as soon as I rehydrated myself. Most of it did, BTW. Here…

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Scale???
OK, Confession time everyone. Who on here do not log in the actual weight that the scale shows, because you are afraind to have to change your weight when it goes up. I usually try to give myself a 2# cushion on the up side. For instance, if the scale reads 230, I will record my weight as 232. I think if is just a…

Herbalife...or not
OK, I am absolute sure this may be the topic of the day. I know there may have been someone on here who has, or know someone who has tried Herbalife! If so, what was your experience with it? What was the reason you tried it, lose weight, boost metabolism, cleanse colon...etc? Would you recommend it? Would like to get some…

Feet are burning baby!!!!
Just celebrated a major NSV. Since the beginning of May, I have logged 300+ miles on these dogs(feet that is). For someone who probably did 10 miles of walking all of last year, this is a major change. Plan to cover at least another 700 by the end of the year to round out at 1000. My goal for next year is to log 2012 miles…
