I think some of it is also that my wife usually does the cooking, and she is not having a good first trimester with the nausea and different cravings, so we eat out a lot and I haven't been making good choices. I guess I just gotta have more restraint and even when eating out, go for the healthy choices instead of the…

We had a girl the first time. I guess the old wives are saying we are having another... and I'm cool with that. Love the "Daddy's Little Girl" thing.

Sounds like mind over matter to me. See how you do after a few days... i would wager this is all nonsense.

weigh your food as much as possible and track based on that. Try to avoid generic food entries that others have loaded into the database. Tracking EVERYTHING is the best way to gauge what you are taking in and putting out.

I've done both. I am a coca cola fiend, and have been drinking it far too long in my life. I tried switching to diet, or zero and it helped lose a bit, but I still ate like crap and didn't really do a heck of a lot. I have read a few things on how aspartame is not so good for you and have chosen to avoid products with that…

Ant this too

I've been told by a couple different sources, medical, that 1-3 times a day is best. Never heard anything about after every meal.

Add a probiotic and more fiber to your diet, or a fiber supplement. I had similar issues and since I started that I go at least once a day, if not more. Also, drink lots of water.

I'm trying to lose 65ish... lost 17 so far.

While I do agree that a lot of people post negatively instead of constructively, i don't see anyone that said it wouldn't work. They all said that it may work short term, but its not going to do anything for the OP if they want long term results, unless taking it for life. I will admit I tried it, but it never worked for…

Yum! Poutine

Gotcha... thanks.

I'm not very knowledgeable on the eating back of calories concept, but I believe that it means that since your calorie goal is already set less than your BMR (calories to maintain your current weight), you should eat back some workout calories so that you do not go too far into a deficit that is safe. Plus the site over…

Stay at home Mom

Yeah I used to sleep in til noon on the weekends, but now I'm lucky if my daughter lets me sleep until 9.

Yeah McDs is pretty damn good. But Coke in a can near freezing is the best for me.

I wish it were -7 plus windchill. We're at -16, but feels like -25 with the wind. I haven't ad a good walk outside in days.

C'mon Baxter, you know I don't speak Spanish!

I have a desk job that has me sitting for most of the day. I take my 1 hour lunch break to go for a walk. Since I bring my lunch most days I can eat at my desk during the day and then still have the time to get the walk in. I also am not "stuck" to my desk as you mentioned you are, so when I go to fill up my water bottle,…

We have to talk

I did a smoothie "cleanse". I drank fruit and green veggie smoothies for 10 days for breakfast and lunch, and a healthy meal for dinner. It also allowed for healthy snacks all day long (veggies, fruit, nuts). It helped lose some weight and get my mind on the right track for eating better. I'm not a doctor or nutritionist…

Acting like its just a regular day, because it is. I don't celebrate my love for my wife on Feb 14th, I celebrate it everyday. I don't celebrate made up "holidays" for business gain. I'm lucky I got a wife who feels the same.

Yeah 9 is weak... i don't know what my PR is, but its a lot more than 9.

Obviously not you. But my wife and I just had our daughter (1.5 years old) and its one of, if not THE best thing to happen to me. She's amazing. Maybe he wants kids

No, just found online that "The average man burns 4.2 calories a minute having sex, while women burn 3.1 calories. " and calculated based on that.
