I no longer let myself watch TV unless I'm moving. Even if it's something your eyes are glued to, you can still use hand weights, do squats or lunges, etc. I think the problem is that people get the idea that Exercise is a Big Deal and they have to sweat and keep up with a program and join a gym and use that as an excuse.…

*whimpers* I am never going to exceed my fiber micro again

It worked for me

I LOVE BLACK BEANS and I just cooked up a huge pot yesterday! I don't know if they freeze because I can eat a whole 16 oz. bag by myself within a week. I ate them last night like this: bed of lettuce and broccoli slaw, baked chicken cut into chunks, beans ladled over it like salad dressing. They are also good on top of…

Exactly. And NYT speculated that since it didn't include fountain drinks, the in-store orders would probably be more calorific. What? No diet or unsweetened tea? Also, I have thrown food away almost every time I've been to Chipotle, but I over-order when I order in and eat every bite.

Try out the rowing machine too.

The way that I do it is I plan dinner first (generally the most calories in my day), then eat lightly at lunch and allow for nighttime snacking. You might be a breakfast person or a grazer or something. I think you should think about how you ate before you started counting calories and slot them in accordingly.

Well, sometimes he's busy. That's when you round up random items from your refrigerator door and drink them all together. I feel like we haven't spent enough time in this thread discussing why you have to have maple syrup and cayenne in this thing.

I saw it at World Market and someone told me they have it at Publix and I am not going to even try that until I'm closer to goal because oh my goodness I do not need to find more deliciousness.

Depends on your personality. I prefer NEAT method because some days I do lighter exercise than others.

If I eat pizza, I like to go HAM on it. There is nothing moderate about me when I am in the same room as pizza. So yeah, 2000 calories is too much for dinner, no matter what the World Health Organization says.

The things that aren't vegan are amazing. Plywood is made with blood glue. Talk about using all the parts of the animal . . .

Interesting. But while the article is right that these app orders don't include fountain drinks, I can honestly say that if I order food in versus going out, I get more, because I can put my leftovers in the fridge right away. I don't know if the fountain drink thing does cancel it out, because a lot of people get diet or…

Any time I've put on weight, it's been in a period when I wasn't weighing myself. I'm in favor of weighing yourself every morning so you can see the fluctuations.

Almost never. I've had pizza twice and McDonald's once or twice in the last 6 months. It isn't worth the calories.

If you already have them on youtube, this is larger: http://gifyoutube.com/new

This is somewhat true. As long as a dozen large eggs weighs 24 ounces with the shell, there can be variation within the carton (as we have all seen for ourselves). Mine are usually 51-54 grams each, no shell. So 75-79 calories each, instead of the 70 listed on the carton.

I'm just here to warm my hands in the heat of the dumpster fire

Aw, please don't be offended, just because you have good sense about weight loss doesn't mean you have good sense in other ways. You are doing or thinking something right now that you will look back on as being dumb as he'll in 15 years. And I'm sure there are 49-year-olds thinking that about 34.

Crack the egg! It's not a dumb question. Almost every egg I've weighed is larger than the USDA says a large egg should be.

Mocking someone who calls you mean gets you more Meanness Points, which can be traded in for great prizes like faulty food scales and sweaty benches. I'm pretty excited to see what my score will be for mocking you calling out people who mocked the person who called us out. Have you checked your Pearl Clutching Points?

I don't use a running app (I realize I could do it with google maps), so last time I used Wii Fit and ran it in less than 20 minutes. And that's the story of how I learned Wii Fit lies.

You missed the part where she's at least 200 pounds (no longer believes in weighing herself). No answer for what you're asking though.

If you're not restricting calories, no wonder you're trying to lose 50 pounds. Good luck with your 2000 calories (if you're burning as much or less than that per day) and your anticipated surge in IG followers. I've lost 39 pounds through calorie restriction and intend to keep it off with calorie counting.

This is exactly where I'm stuck (for almost 2 weeks). Frustrating. I'm down a pants size and I really wish the scale movement didn't bug me.

Use the scale for everything! I have a half-cup scoop in my oatmeal and ended up with 20% more by weight the other day. Not such a big deal--only 30 calories--but imagine that multiplied over every meal. And eggs are usually more than they should be, bread is usually heavier . . .

I broke my running endurance record yesterday, but I almost didn't try because I knew I might retain water and I am really tired of the number 160.5.

Well, I don't know about John Wayne, but it is true of Elvis. Want to know why? HE HAD A LONG-STANDING DRUG ISSUE SLOWING DOWN HIS DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND HE ACTUALLY WAS IN NEED OF A DETOX. That said, what probably killed Elvis was not an impacted colon but polypharmacy. Again, this dude needed a detox. You and your…

I have noticed that it gets stupid when I eat most of the calories back. It will close, but it won't say I was under my calorie goal sometimes. IDK.
