Exhaling before weigh in is a valid diet technique.

Great idea.

Now I would!

No. Not now

35lbs. But the last two weeks have been plateau city.

Hi. I'm Splinker, from the wilds of New Jersey. I have about 15 to lose for necessity, and another 25 after that for funsies.

I wouldn't count it. I think when you set up your profile and choose you daily activity level, your calorie count is adjusted. So if you work at a desk during a typical day and don't move around a lot, you choose the "lazy *kitten*" setting. That's the best setting to choose any way, erring on the side of caution and all…

If you take a typical diet powder chocolate drink, add avacado and almond coconut to it and blend it up, it makes a pretty good chocolate pudding. Southbeach has the recipe for it. They of course tell you to use their shake but I'm sure there are plenty of comparable ones out there.

When I was the bad boy of gluttony, I would eat a meal at the cheesecake factory that had about the amount of calories I eat in three or four days now. And with enough salt that would make Lot's wife blush.

My weekly calorie intake for the last 8 weeks has been 10,000 calories or less. But. I eat out a lot. And I have to trust the general calorie count of MFP. For…

Hiya. Splinker here. I'm just shy of 54, 6ft even and 267 pounds. Two months ago I was 300 pounds, so yay me. (Two months ago today, as a matter of fact). I've been using South Beach, more or less. I have at least one of their premade meals a day. I overdue it on the protein and probably under do it on the carbs. I'm on my…

I eat out often. I avoid all bread and starches wnen possible. A typical dinner for me now might be french onion soup without bread, and a piece of steak or burger patty and asparagus. I'vw been on a very low carb/southbeach doet since May 18 and hace lost 21 pounds so far. The first three days felt like junkie withdrawal.…
