    Scorpio. A lady never tells her age. Like long walks on the beach, romance novels, sparkling ciders and autoerotic asphyxiation.

    How many calories does this burn?

    All of them if you're not careful

    I hated to laugh at this. :D:D:D

    Please forgive me. I know I disappoint you on a daily basis.

    You think waaaaaay too highly of me. :D:D:D

    If it wasn't for God, I'd probably be swinging on a pole right now (and not for the calories, kwim?)

    I told God I couldn't solve it myself. I tried and tried and nothing was happening. I took all the advice and my weight didn’t budge.

    So I prayed and God gave me a solution to the area I was struggling with. Suddenly it was EASY, and I was getting results with so much less work.

    Everybody has a different area of struggle. God has a specialized solution.

    For me, I couldn't curb night time eating, particularly sweets.

    I tried everything the articles said - protein, 6 meals, etc. Nothing worked.

    I prayed and it suddenly came to me to just go with it.

    Hunger felt different to me in the morning and afternoon than at night.

    So I stopped trying to balance my calorie load. I left a huge amount for dinner.

    I meal prepped high satiating, delicious low cal lunches and just had coffee for breakfast. At night, I chowed down.

    I found I couldn't chow as much as I thought. My stomach shrinked and I couldn't pack it in like I used to. Sweets started tasting sweeter and sweeter to the point of being inedible.

    Last night I had coke and fries and a burger. I still have half a burger left. And not because I am "limiting," - regularly, I am full off of half portion sizes from restaurants.

    Since the Christmas season, I've been eating normal breakfast and lunch, but as you can see, in different quantities than before.

    With God, nothing is impossible.

    Best wishes to you.

    If I achieved all these sort of problem assessment/solutions on my own and lost 70lbs without ever praying, does that make me God?

    What kind of bag reports someone when an OP asks a question about losing weight and a person answers honestly?

    I struggled with losing weight most of my life. And suddenly its easy, and I'm supposed to keep that all to myself because someone does not agree?

    Get over yourself, honestly.

    I don't run around flagging people who think differently than I do.

    I think it's the whole God thing. Some people get a little sensitive. I've been flagged for less.

    Good for you that you achieved your weight loss goal.

    I struggled for years.

    I needed God to get over what I've been through.

    Can we please not argue over it?

    You have your way you succeeded. I have mine.

    Have a lovely day.

    Also, instead of focusing on food abundant Americans, can God help the children in Yemen figure out their calorie needs?

    This is why we should appoint me God...just sayin' :sunglasses:

    I'm ancient, I'm 43, I'll say it part if accepting is admitting. I tend to be a bit hyper active at times so that's how I keep my.weight in check. I like candy and chocolate and caffeine.

    I guess, I qualify for a walking dead then but I like it outside, (hiking camping bike rides and all) and no one's complaining yet, so I just keep walking. Depression attacks often ruin my good efforts, I start over a lot

    If you don't want to argue about it, follow forum rules and keep the preaching out of the forums :smile: Or at least wear an adorable khaki ensemble, and knock first, before asking me if I have time to hear about your friend who lives upstairs. (PS, for the record...not the one who flagged you).

    Maybe he/she/it did, in creating man...and free will.

    Just wanted to add that b4TL.

    But does he have long blond hair, or short dark hair? Because those are the options on romance novels. Lol. And they never look like this guy. But that's probably a good thing, because his songs are very romantic/titillating but also very creepy.

    Glad I go to church on Xmas cuz I am ripped like a mofo. But I'd still probably focus on logging and exercise. If the day ever comes when the Lord answers my prayers, I'd have to ask for starving children to be fed first vs fitting into my skinny jeans.
    God bless us all and my protein powder in which he provideth.

    Yes free will. So since I don't blame he/she/it for gaining weight, I also won't give he/she/it the credit for losing it. I did it all on my own. Thanks!

    Oh and to @thisonetimeatthegym. Thanks for the compliment. It's a daily struggle.
