Did you eat a lot yesterday? I noticed that you did not track and if you had a 'cheat' day of sorts, then eating less the next day is completely normal, fine and (sometimes) even encouraged for those who track by weekly calorie averages.

There are some of us that just really don't like meat (me), so I've been predominantly vegan for the majority of my life just because I don't have a taste for meat. For me, that's great. I also play around with raw veganism, but I know that it's just a short term thing for me because when winter comes I need some warm…

That is weird! Maybe you would have had a larger loss had it not been for that food? Or maybe your TOM is kicking in and you're burning more calories, or maybe your weekly average was less, or something? For some reason when I eat potato chips, no matter how many, I lose weight :P Weird stuff!

I don't even drink and that sounds delicious.

Put a little sweetener/sugar/stevia/whatever in that bad boy and you'll be all set! :P

https://www.espressoparts.com/cj4000-digital-scale-4000g-x-0-5g?gclid=CJP5vsT2_cUCFcMWHwodKLwAVA This is what I have, but I bought it on Amazon. Coffee snobs use this scale -- it is crazy accurate. It goes in .5 gram increments and you can also count pieces, do ounces, lbs, etc., there are settings I'm sure I haven't even…

I just like iced black coffee with sweet'n'low and there is a shaker of I don't know what that is delicious at that little self-service station, it says vanilla on it but it has little white specs with black in the middle and it's amazing (I don't know if it has calories or anything, though), and a little half and half!

I guess I do too. Where did she try to convince us? She gave us her experience and wanted to know if anyone else experienced that. Bland statement of personal life fact. No correlations, not claims, nothing. She has been gluten free for 1 year and has not lost weight. Bland statement of personal life fact. Experiment. She…

You can easily be overweight as a vegan because a lot of foods are vegan (no animal products), like tortillas, fat free refried beans, oreos, bread, etc., which are all calorically dense foods. It may be easier to lose weight on a raw vegan diet as opposed to a standard omni diet just because the calories of a good portion…

Whoa, batman! You look amazing! Seriously, if I only knew you by the bottom pictures and stumbled upon your now pictures I wouldn't even know or believe that you are you!

I will overeat and then try to split up the calories I overate by throughout the whole week but in the end it never really works as planned :-P

Depending on the amount of left over calories you could incorporate rice. It will run you 600 to 800 calories per 1 dry cup (yields a lot cooked) and use soy sauce and veggies.

Poptarts aren't a bad option if you just want something sweet! They're around 200 calories per pastry -- some are a little higher and some are a little lower! For just random snacks, The Sandwich Bros make an entire line of microwaveable sandwiches for under 200 calories. I was able to pick up their chicken melts at my…

Gosh, I googled just out of curiosity and it looks like they're running around $200. Personally, I wouldn't do it. I think I'd rather have my $160 and do without the convenience of auto-logging.

Yes, me too! Really good point. If the price is right I may get one of those when the time comes just so I can't lapse with my logging.

My scale has a lot of features that I never use. You could browse around Amazon to see people's thoughts with particular products! :)

I had a small amount of loose skin on my lower abdomen for about 4 years. I actually got rid of it with exercise and gaining about 5 pounds after reaching goal and losing those pounds again. Weird, but, maybe it redistributed the fat? I don't really know but I am thankful. I also feel that tanning helped, but I don't think…

Back yard chicken regulations can be pretty intense depending on county (if it's legal at all).

Why shouldn't you go crazy with crunches?

Aww. :( I had ankle problems that prevented me from participating in P.E. so I'd just sit off and read. By the end of the year, half the class had some "problem" and P.E. became a club. :P don't let little snots get you down! You were totally cool in 90s Florida.

Is this true? I am a total beginner and they are super difficult. I love them! If accurate, this is sad news!

I'd imagine that the sodium differences in the cooked eggs is due to the assumption that you will salt the water. Otherwise, I can't imagine how the egg would gain salt through just a cooking method. There may be some science I am unaware of here. Personally, I'd just go with what your egg carton estimates the sodium per…

My thighs are pretty much the first place that visually gain weight and the last to lose. Conversely, my tummy visually fattens many pounds later but appears to be the first place I lose. And breasts, well, I don't have enough to know. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Same boat here, and I can see the difference at 108 too, particularly in my thighs!

My kitchen is pretty clean, but I do have a few kitchen problems. I have a tendency to open a drawer or cabinet and leave it open for a few hours (or before I go back into the kitchen). I also clean dishes as I use them, but I put them in the dishwasher to dry. Needless to say, they end up staying in the dishwasher until…
