Hummus seems really high in calories, am I missing something? I like red roasted peppers and caramelized onions in mine but at the calorie hit, I don't get enough to enjoy.

This does not sound healthy at all.. Hope you make it thru ok.

It takes time to wrap your head around your own looks/changes. We all go thru that, so you're in good company :)

Anything that works is good in my book.

Yes, and.. Apple sauce Flour Ice cream (from frozen banana chunks and etc..) Frozen drinks :O :) Love my vitamix

Every night between 9 and 10 PM I have two 40/45 cal toast with 1.5 Tablespoons of Skippy peanut butter and a butt load of Saigon cinnamon. (It's the hot spicy kind, really packs a punch to cholesterol and evens out blood sugar preventing spikes... allegedly) I have that snack every night. Every. Night.

I just cut back slowly, over the course of a month (french vanilla made it easy). The milk was easy to stop because for me, tasting a drop of milk after being used to 1/2 cup like I was using tasted putrid to me so I went to black with sugar. Then I went from sugars to stevia, then killed off that. Try a mild coffee or…

You can always go walk a few miles, for a few days in a row and just burn it up. Eating less makes me grumpy.

Jealousy, my coworker I hadn't seen in 6 months said I am way to thin, although I clearly have another 40 or 50 to lose to get out of the obese category.. it was said by the guy who must have gained 40 or more since I last saw him. haters

I think we are environmentally predisposed to cancer. Or it's the diet soda. you decide. :) I drink water and way too much coffee.. If there's such a thing.

That would do it for sure. This might seem weird but milk seems to have made a big difference for me, and I've never had a lactose issue or anything else of the sort. It's that I found that 5 - 6 coffee's a day, with 1/2 cup 2% milk @~70 cals each, adds up to a butt load of liquid calories I had to work my *kitten* off to…

Over 200, hot damn. I get those same remarks after losing 120ish in a year :) Good for you, I hope you are as healthy and as happy as you wanted to be ! I am :)

You haven't really given anything here to go on but allegedly 3 per week is too much. Something about your health, yadda yadda, results in muscle loss, etc etc.. anyway. Your goal is to lose 60 pounds.. and your just starting out. I'd say, If you've done nothing so far, follow the calorie plan mfp suggests and walk at…

They all estimaaaaate, so there's that. Stick with one and let it be your guide. You'll then know if you're under or over on your daily activity. If you find your not losing (or gaining or maintaining) just recognize it, and adjust. It's a watchdog to make sure you're active, leave the accuracy to the bean counters. No…

Yep :)

You can always use stuff around your domicile/work/school to get started. fill some empty milk jugs with sand or dirt... you can always up the ante by adding rocks. Wanna do curls...etc? Just hang them on a broomstick. I know that probably sounds crazy, but for lack of funds and personal space a the gym, that might be a…

When you eat don't matter. Daily CICO... Sure it's simplistic.. but who don't like a simple straighforward answer :)

It's a good day indeed :) Perhaps leading by example will help other Nations choose the path of providing basic human rights for everyone.

You have to build your profile and goals so you can see how many calories a day you should consume, then put the food into the database (use the barcode scanner when possible) and be as accurate as possible with your quantity. If you have a scale, use it. Most importantly - CICO means calories in/calories out. After all is…

Ok, lets see if I got this straight, because I think it makes a bit more sense now... 8oz of cooked meat is many more calories than 8oz of raw meat because you lose moisture in the cooking process so the calories are more dense for the same weight. Conversely, 1/4 cup of rice should be measured before cooking, so that when…

I agree, most of the calculations are off imho. I've logged a few activities just to see how it looks, but meh.. so now I just let fitbit put my steps and the rest is gravy. I just wanted to be sure if I add cals earlier in the day for what I know I'm going to have later, that it didn't think I ate them sooner and burned…

lol, thx

Dont you enjoy wearing smaller sized clothes too?

I've gained pleasure from pain, have you?

Is it really about about the bass?

Yep, pizza sounds good :) I've eaten 3 days worth of calories in 1 day a few times over the last 18 months and it never derailed me. Don't even sweat it ! Congrats on the smaller clothes fitting, thats where its at :) That scale isn't the boss of you !

How did you get at it, and does anyone know what you're up to?

Right, when asked wow.. you lost weight? I say yep, thanks, and quickly change the conversation direction. Its a way to acknowledge them, but politely get you out of your uncomfortable zone. Eventually the more you dip your toes in that lake, the better the water feels ;) GL

My only practical form of exercise is walking. Started lifting weights, but after 18 months and 110 lost so far. Walking is good.

Family history suggests I not partake too often or suffer the addictions.. still at this point I mostly steer clear because I just can't stand what liquid calories due to my Food diary ;) I will have an occasional shot of fireball whisky in my black coffee after dinner, perhaps a dozen total in the last 18 months.…
