I couldn't agree more with you

Every one is saying the same thing, my title means cutting back, not cutting out. And that's all I mean, Cutting back matters

Then I will revise my remark partially. Junk food can be a gate way food but yes, calorie deficit matters the most. I personally found that cutting out 90% of junk food and replacing those foods with healthier alternatives has made more a difference in my life than anything else.

You made a good point too but yesterday I was feeling sick to my stomach all day so I didn't write as many kind words as I should have. I think you made a good point though, as I would find myself try to wiggle out of going over my Cal limit at the end of the day even though I physically did. Yesterday was the first time I…

Thank you for being one of few people to help! Lol I can see why OJ is a waste of calories. Rips up my tongue also

I did not know that math... Thank you.

To many people to tag responses to but, My maintenance is ~3000 so clearly ill be in deficit if I go over my goal of 2k but that's not the point. I wasn't asking if I should or shouldn't take a cheat day, or if cheat days even make sense. Im asking the mathematical implications of losing x number of pounds a week/month…

lol my girlfriends calorie count is way lower than mine lol Not much sharing opportunity. I understand what youre getting at, but these past few days I have tried. A pack of poptarts, a PBJ sandwich and a 600 cal dinner seems to be my exact limit everyday. Not much room for some pretzels, or a candy bar. I didnt know that…

Thats not so much the problem. Its not that I cant incorporate them, its that I cant incorporate them all. So say I want some pizza with chicken wings and a couple beers, well thats an easy 1000 cals, and that wipes out my whole day. Im looking more for the math effects of doing it once a week or bi-weekly. God I havent…

Awesome posts! While I agree that "replacing foods" isn't something every one does. If it fits your diet, it fits your diet but some people have less to work with or what more later than now. Its the same idea as buying store brand vs name brand. Its just a mind thing and could save you in the long run (money or cals).…

I never considered mixing egg whites with one whole egg. Slightly healthier with slightly normal flavor haha

Deep dish

I wanna go kayaking... so yes.

I really want a Doritos Locos Taco but @Troutsy wont let me have one....

Youre exactly correct, but I put my trust in a machine built do only that function rather than an added feature to a scale. Side note too and this is simply unproven dumb science but I feel as if the skin on your feet is thicker so the current has a harder time starting. Not to mention it starts weighing you when you have…

I honestly don't trust that scales ability to find BF % I went from 33 to 33 to 41% body fat. The best way to find out your body fat is to get one of these http://www.amazon.com/Omron-Monitor-model-HBF-306C-Black/dp/B000FYZMYK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434120057&sr=8-1&keywords=Body+fat It sends a electric signal from one…

There are two people in the world lol Both have equally good points!

I feel for it :( I skimmed half way through, got confused me because I kept reading why its bad for me. Got more confused, kept reading and then it made sense lol. Too much sarcasm for me

Thanks guys, Awesome tips and awesome food for thought. I have a check up appointment with my doctor coming soon so hopefully I can talk about options. Girlfriend also told me to get a second opinion before I do surgery. Kinda sucks that it seems to be an issue only corrected my surgery or you risk crippling yourself from…

She said its too soon for surgery, im too young. I wouldn't mind it but I would wanna lose some weight before I did. So I can not get on a health kick and then have it swiftly inhibited lol She also told me that nothing will further the injury, and I guess low impact was her recommendation too. It hurts even to stand on…

I asked a friend once and he said "Nope!" immediately lol Then I said another and he was like "Nope!" I asked why and he was like "You can never have too much" lol I never checked into it but I just get what I can when I can, if your gut feeling is to have some more, have some more!.

Taking a Benadryl could help as well, even still it might not be an "allergy"!

Im sure others have mentioned this since I kinda just skipped to the first answer I thought when I saw this. It could be a heat rash! Friend on mine would walk to work (roughly 2 or 3 miles) and in the summer months he would be itchy and rashy when he got to work. Also you could be having a reaction to the potential acidic…

P Popcorn is just a kernel, so there's very little variation of popcorn types. Might as well log it like any other Smartpop or Wise popcorn. I bet the serving size is way bigger then it needs to be. Like 3 to 4 servings of that. Then I personally would quick add or buffer myself 300 cals for the melted butter if you ever…

I rotate between sitting and standing for 8 hours a day. There is enough walking to grab stuff that I could lean toward saying its light activity

Just to stem from this too, you seem to have no productive recommendation on what "to get excited about" or the best way to lose said weight. Everything is going to have different rates of weight lose, but slow lose is permanent lose.

I most definitely am over thinking all of this haha. You have some great words here as well as sijomial who sent me a great email after I apologized for insulting his help lol. Im gonna do some searching for programs tonight and tailor it to the recommendations you made. Thanks for all the help guys.

I also deleted that comment because I did not mean the intention of it. I understand and am listening to what you say. You made sense, it all just isn't clicking for me yet.

This kinda goes against good advice given in my past thread. I was told Ill only get noobie gains but they will hault after a little while. Biggest goal is to get ride of a gut at the moment. I don't know what to do :/ Rather conflicting to me really :/

Deleted. Misunderstood sij.
