I'm an eagle scout literally and figuratively..I'd never obtain a drug illegally or without proper professional guidance =P

I've not spoken to a doctor yet .this is some of my first investigation into the subject.

This has been super helpful, thanks for the perspective..my biggest worry is the habit forming side..I'm not a super addictive personality but even so, I'm cautious.

I was thinking video editing, reading, and less hobbie things like a myriad of todo items I've got, but thanks for your opinions haha.

Really weighing is probably my biggest issue. I obsess over the scale and I fully admit it... Maybe someday I will only have to weigh in once a week..a man can dream, lol

^^

1 bag of stea,fresh veggies..usually broccoli..with 1 serving of ranch or spicy peanut sauce..

Well I'd bet he would simply visit a gas station..

Eh..I eat 2 large meals and a couple small snacks in a 5 hour window..honestly I don't look at macros, I passively try to stay away from sugar and pile on the veggies and protein, but it's not a thing I care a ton about.

Thanks! Also forgot to list the diet coke :P

322g egg whites from a carton 2oz jimmy dean spicy sausage 28g shredded mozzarella cheese 350g broccoli 15ml ranch dont even care how much cholula, but its not much

Well, I was in literally the same position as far as schedule..what worked for me is intermittent fasting. I'd only eat from 5pm-11pm..I'd work my 11p-7a shift without eating(super easy for me cuz I'd eat right before work), then sleep 8a-3p...worked really well for me.

My diary for yesterday has a 900cal bacon cheeseburger, tots with ranch, and about 1000cal of alcohol...I log even while drunk hahaha

I agree that like 90%of the population has them to some degree...I've seen numerous "skinny" men and women with them in pretty much every part or the body...in the adult world it's just something no one really cares about.

I approve of the evolution of this thread..I'm a fantastic drunk when it comes to post drinking hydration.

It seems that's a "sustainable" limit haha

This is my dilemma.

https://youtu.be/ztIEwTsa_X4 I assume this will help us all lose weight

I LOVE steamfresh bagged veggies(I love the just broccoli version)...microwave them for a few minutes, you've got a huge portion (300g+), add a serving of ranch or spicy peanut sauce...damn good.

I think I've hit complete entry like...twice?

Thanks big time!

Aside from super sugary, high cal foods that I stay away from, I don't enjoy carbs..I love proteins and especially fats when it comes to taste/satiety(not entirely sure that's a word) But I *believe* CICO will work for most people, and that malnutrition isn't a big a threat as some people make it out to be so I sat do…

Most people are in the boat of "food labels are pretty accurate" , I'm a bit more suspicious about it, but like @DeguelloTex, I seem have weight loss lining up to the average calorie deficit I've been logging so who the heck knows, I could very well be wrong in my cynicism.

This person cracks me up every time.

There's been a ton of good advice here. I've lost over 60lbs and I often go over my calorie goals, but what's working for me is 3 steps. 1. Always log it, no matter how bad, no matter how "guilty" you may feel about it. Not logging doesn't undo what you ate, it simply helps you stay ignorant to it. 2. Allow yourself those…

This..my Texas toast says 1 serving = 1slice = 39g = 110cals..but weighed a slice is typically over 55g..so if I didn't weigh it for every slice I'd be eating like 50% more than I thought.

I've gone from 337 to 277, at a rate of a little over 3 lbs per week..so far (5 months) I've not exerienced any I'll effects, and continue to see the positive side of losing weight. Good luck to you!

Ohhhh snap...I support your choice if you feel it's the right approach..no one here will know what's good for your better than yourself and your doctors =)

Umm..no good reason, I just don't enjoy having 3-5pounds of extra water weight throwing off my scale numbers.

Woooot...
