The study was conducted by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. You do know how these people make their money, right? :)

Halo Top Ice Cream - Best. Stuff. Ever.

@ChooseToBeHappy125 Sure

The way I am interpreting your post is that you are saying these people are the way they are because of their environments. I agree with you to a certain extent about the fact they are neither dumb nor lazy, but the problem lies with misinformation and the way all these various "health" sites take advantage of these…

I disagree with the original post almost completely. If I am being perfectly honest, the ones I blame the most are the fitness instructors, the leaders of the numerous diet fads, magazine articles, media, and everything else that has been responsible for spreading so.much. misinformation out there. I honestly believed that…

Aveeno. Kiehl's also works miracles if you have the budget for it. Can't be walking around looking ashy now can we? :D

I wouldn't say it was long exercise for me, but I do at least 60 minutes of cardio every single day just so I can have a larger meal while still losing weight at ~2 pounds per week.

Basic math. If your body needs 2200 calories a day to maintain a certain weight and I consume 1500 calories daily, that gives me a loss of 700 calories a day. Assuming the same activity levels at a lower weight, your body now needs only 1900 calories to maintain your current weight. If you continue to consume 1500 calories…

Just out of curiosity, what exactly happened on the day in which you consumed over 4,600 calories? Was it planned, emotional eating, or something else? What changes can you make to ensure that something like that won't happen again in the future? Once you have that answer, consider it a lesson learned and go back to your…

Water. Your answer is water. I, too, used to drink the equivalent of 2+ liters of soda or "insert sweet drink here" a day. I focused on trying to drink 8 oz of water every hour and ignored all other beverages. What happened was my desire and cravings for sweets dropped dramatically. Now, I may drink maybe a 12 oz coke once…

I absolutely hate running. I heard that the treadmill was originally used as a torture device. No, thank you! But I love using elliptical machines! I plug in my headphones and listen to my favorite soundtracks and can catch up on tv shows or watch movies and the time flies right by. I personally wouldn't use weights as a…

Reese's Peanut Butter bars? You mean Nutrageous? Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have been my favorite ever since I was a child! But I'll only eat one now on special occasions like holidays or after an all-day hike or something like that. lol!

Just fyi, Applebee's has a 600 calorie and under menu. Their salmon dish is pretty good.

This.

A body. Still alive. Held against their will.

No. Please do. We need more honesty around here.

Applebee's has eight dishes that are all under 600 calories and are pretty good, too! (In my opinion.) I love their Savory Cedar Salmon dish.

I'll keep that in mind. haha

This is how I will treat my wife when (or if) I get married. Except for the long romantic walks...I'd rather go hiking. lol

Whoa. Someone really struck a nerve there!

You gained 8% of a pound in a single day. You would have to eat like you did today for almost two weeks straight to gain ONE pound. Stop feeling bad. lol

Calories In/Calories Out. Everything in moderation.

1000x this!!

I don't do mini goals. I have one goal. To reach my target weight of 155 pounds and to maintain it for AT LEAST two years (exception being if I gain muscle while still losing body fat). I won't celebrate a single thing until that time. This is a supposed to be a lifestyle change. A permanent one. I don't want to know what…

Dance

No

I want to know the answer to this, as well.

This. Eat whatever you want. Just stay under/within your calorie intake for that day.

Yes.
