Better a green frog that can turn into a princess. But if she wants to be a turtle, my mantra is "slow and steady wins the race" so she has my support!

Hah!

Oh, no, poor baby, hug her tight for me!

ROFL!!!

Eat less, move more, and you will do fine. You don't have to eat fruit to lose weight.

Ecx Except for strawberries. (I think.)

Or 22,000 apples

Peas ARE fruit.

She said fruit. She did not mention which fruits.

Too much would be 1,000 bananas a day.

Nuts are a fruit.

Thank you! I always wondered about this but it seemed a stupid question to ask. From now on I am definitely underestimating my calorie burn under the assumption that it includes the calories I would have burned anyway exercising or not!

Nuts are fruit.

I'm curious about that as well.

If you're determined to eat pasta, measure it dry. Boil it in water until almost al dente. Then cook it slowly with your sauce so that it will absorb the flavor. Sauce then sticks to the pasta and it tastes a LOT better. To get the exact calories, measure EVERYTHING that goes into the dish, account for the calories, then…

Peas are fruit. Nuts are fruit. Seeds are fruit. Corn is fruit. Green beans are fruit.

Just to name a few . . .

You're eating too much.

It's amazing how much strength you can build with regular exercise!

Love this!

That's because it sucks up the water it's being boiled in, or even better, the sauce it will be served with.

Exercise does tend to cause you to retain water weight. Even though you sweat! Losing weight for me is ALL about exercising; everyone is different. It seems to kick-start my metabolism. But if exercising makes you want to eat more, then it can be counter-productive. Adjust, adjust, adjust until you find out what works best…

Yes!

Cucumbers, from which pickles are made, are also a fruit.

Tomatoes and peppers are fruits.

Ooops you're right. He said he was gaining weight with fewer calories on fast foods, then started gaining when he quit FF.

So you only eat one meal a day, and sometimes two? What do your meals now consist of since you have given up fast food?

In that case he should have been gaining weight, not losing it.
