    @SLLRunner May I ask why you are rolling around a giant red ball in public?

    My diary is even more abysmal (more liquor, more ice cream, maybe more pizzas, definitely more tacos), and I've lost about 34 pounds over the last 94 days. Yay for science! Understanding cico makes dieting way more manageable and far less stressful.


    But, it's ridiculously easy to maintain a huge deficit as a large male. It feels like it should be harder than it is. I think I need to adjust my height actually, since I still lose more than I expect. Or just lower my deficit.


    But, yeah. I like this thread. Makes weight loss look way more fun than the media portrayal.

    @SLLRunner are you taking all the red Target balls from the empty stores in Canada back to the USA?
    If so could I have 3 for my garden, please?

    Cheers, h.

    21 tacos. I can't live without tacos. That's a little more than one taco a week.

    @scolaris

    I'm not sure if you are familiar with the "MFP Crushes" thread. But if you keep posting stuff like this, you will end up on it! :)



    But great going on showing results without taking all the fun foods out of life. I don't look at losing weight as depriving myself of anything, just moderating how I eat certain foods. And I hope everyone is doing that rather than passing up something they enjoy but avoid, when they could easily fit it into a balanced diet that works.

    I like your normality

    Success without self-flagellation (unless of course, that's your thing) rocks!

    Hahahahaha... Thank you to all who commented above and shared a laugh with me. @rabbitjb : no one has ever complimented me on my normality before!! ~blushes~. @robertw486 : I know... it's the tacos... they're provocative! Who doesn't love the mental image of a woman utterly abandoned to the sensual pleasure of eating a taco, meat juices dripping down her chin, cilantro caught between her teeth, maybe even a few crispy tortilla shards scattered about her decolletage? I shall be very careful!

    I sat down & wrote this because my sweet cat Maisie was missing and I wanted to take my mind off that predicament. By the end of the day we were pretty certain she was not hiding in the house because we had gone through everything with a fine tooth comb, we had not found her in the garden and we began alerting neighbor's. It was very scary and sad. She is small and shy semi feral Manx we rescued. I haven't had a cat that long, so I am still learning a lot myself. With a very heavy heart I prepared myself mentally to start in the next morning making fliers, contacting shelters, walking the busiest nearby road corridors checking for her body, and canceling the road trip I was supposed to begin today.

    Well, last night she walked up to the back door & started crying for food! I guess she really did set off exploring but still found her way home... And, a very nice sounding person on MFP sent me a personal note saying this thread convinced them not to quit! So there was happiness all around.

    Thank you to everyone who killed a little time with me here! It is good to laugh.

    this is a great post, what it's all about. You could have been 20 lbs heavier, but you're not. Congratulations
