Sure there are a lot of excersices that probably work better, but if you can get a little extra, for free, why not??

$250 = free??  Not to mention the shoes will probably be replaced within 6 or so months. I like your logic.

I had my shoes for 3 years. They still looked like new. My mum has borrowed them from me. Next question? You might like my logic, but I sure don't like your attitude.

I don't like surgery or poison, but make up and that stuff that so quick, 10 minutes a day, and easily makes me go from a 5 to a 9 or 10 I definitively go for. Why chose not to when I so easily can be beautiful?

Frankly I don't give a d*mn if anyone else has hairy legs, but I love the feeling of being waxed. Just got my first brazilian wax, and I'm not going back.

I don't understand why people chose to not look their best. Perhaps it's a European thing, but I think it's respectful to leave the sweat pants and crocs at home - or even better, don't buy it.

I cut all carbs (almost, can't cut everything ). Also, no artificial sweeteners or carbonated drinks. I also agree with hip2ships up there, no beer, I swell up too! But I've never had a problem with salt, probably because one mostly overdo salt with carbs... which I don't have much of anyways.

I hope you'll have fun!!

I guess you're about 170-180. What do I win? :)
You look like I did at 190, but I'm taller.

She's not going to stop. Even with this little information it's pretty much clear that she's jelous of you being able to diet.

I wouldn't plan for the once a week pizza either. Partly because you might actually want to save that extra eating for a day when you just can't eat right (then pizza Friday would make it twice that week...) and also, if you eat pizza every now and then, she'll never get it. You need to tell her exactly how you feel, that you feel that she doesn't want you to lose weight and perhaps ask her why that is, but if you do talk to her and still eat pizza with her, I can't blame her for continuing bying it.

Load up on healthier foods and keep up the good work. Remember it's for you you're trying to lose. However stupid it might sound, people subconsiously feel better if you're "as bad" as they are, because that makes the behavious "normal".

It's easy it you think about from the environmental side. Throwing food is one of our biggest environmental sins, so if you're getting rid of the yolks by throwing them (and not giving them to someone on Atkins or LCHF ) go for the carton!

I've had bacon and 2 eggs for breakfast for the last 2 years. I thought that was bad, but I'm healthier and skinnier than ever. Low carb is so right for me!

I don't have input for you, but wanted to tell you that jump rope was a really smart idea. What you don't have in your wallet, you've got in your head!

This site shows 12 stretches for runners. It's in Swedish but it's got both pictures and a little movie so it should be ok. I've used this a few times but I don't get pains and seem to skip stretching 9 times out of 10... The movie is at the bottom,  where it says Relaterade länkar Stretch i webb-TV.

I checked the movie and it doesn't seem to work anymore. I can't remove my post either... well, the pics are still there if you want to take a look :-)

This tiny application is amazing. The only thing I miss is MPG=l/km. Had to make an excel sheet for that.

You can also buy it in some asian markets under the name "shirataki noodles" or "miracle noodles."

 ... or konyakku! There are those that are calorie free, and then some that are about 30 cals per portion. Those with cals are, (of course!!) a bit tastier, but they're both alright. I put them in a Tom Yam Goong soup that also is low in calories. For lunch I'll put some shrimp in there... I'll be totally full for hours at something between 0 and 150 cals! I love this stuff!

You know, 100 pounds is a to high set goal. Of course we have dreams, but aiming at something easier to reach would make things a lot easier. Instead of thinking about losing 100 pounds and not having a time frame, take small steps. Think 10 pounds until Halloween. And then you can decide for a new goal. When (not if!) you reach your -10 goal at Halloween, you treat yourself to something that you just can't get until then, but no foods, perhaps a piece of clothing or something you want to do.

I have just gotten very close to what I want to weigh, and frankly, I was happiest inbetween, after I lost 15 pounds and had 10 left. This is strange, but I guess it has to do with still having something to work on but also being able to reach my goals.

You will beat the compulsiveness too, but staring at 100 pounds would make anyone give up. So don't! 10 pounds is fantastic to lose too!

I didn't notice anything at all. I was totally free of stretch marks until week 38 with my first, and I had gained a lot so my skin wasn't very tight. Then, during week 39-40 I got a lot. (I went 17 days over time...)

Sorry to be telling you this, but don't worry, you could still be fine. And also, I really don't dislike my stretch marks, they just remind me of my girls. (And the boobs made it thru fine ;-)

I found a good, pure brand too, and was on Hoodia for about 1½ years. At first I thought it helped, but when I stopped taking them (a couple of times) I didn't notice a difference any longer, my stomach might have shrunk, I don't know. But for me who doesn't drink coffee and therefore never get any caffeine, it was perfect. The pills didn't make me twitchy and paranoid like ephedra and caffeine does (ephedra is really bad, don't try it). I just seemed a bit more alert all the time, I could sleep just a little bit less, like 45 minutes less every night, and still I felt more alert, and because of that, happy.

I've tried an version, Low Carb High Fat. You don't eat any carbs (well, you can't avoid all) and you max up the fat. I didn't go all the way, I couldn't eat the fat and just concentrated on avoiding carbs and eating proteins. I felt irritated and a bit sick the second and third day, but after that I was fine. I lost about 10-15 pounds, that I didn't gain back, and I lost my exzema that I'd had for 7 years, and it was severe. A while after I got better I got off the diet since I missed fruits so much, and am now on Glycemic Index, which is more suitable in the long run. The exzema has not come back, then I'll try the diet again.

My mother and her husband on the other hand, has been on the LCHF diet for 1½ year. My mum has lost about 20 pounds but is so healthy that she wants to stay on the diet for good. Her husband has lost about 80 pounds and is still losing, he was a lot more overweight. They influenced a friend, he started eating the same way and got rid of his diabetes in less than two months.

Still I don't like the diet. It's very bad for the environment, another reason for me to get off of it. Meats, especially red, is disastrous for the world. But it changed my way of eating to the better, I'll probably consider sugar a poison for the rest of my life.
