OP said they "cheated" the last two days (so I'm guessing OP was under calorie goals for the first three).

Jeez these replies care pretty harsh! I think you should just talk to him less, give him a hi but don't have conversations and slow just move him out of your life. Let go of that which no longer serves you (in this case, him). If you actually want to lose weight, start here. Start by logging what you eat and being honest.…

Anorexia is not defined by weight alone, actually. There needs to be an extreme fear of gaining weight and caloric restriction as well.

Also, you don't have to weight just once a week because it may be discouraging. For example, one day I may weight 149 and the very next day I could weigh 153 depending on how I ate the day before (high sodium for example). If my weigh in day was the 153 day I might feel bad. But yeah, weigh as often as you'd like and be…

Everyone is different and there isn't really a "normal", it's just if you're physically comfortable or not that really matters. Do you feel bloated? Stuffed up? It all depends on you. I have to totally disagree with the "less stuff in less stuff out" thing. For me, when I eat healthier I poo a lot more. Very often actually…

Pain killers help a lot. For me, craving usually happen because I am in an immense amount of pain. I also like working out outside because 1) it gets my mind off it for a while and 2) more calories to eat more. Lots of hot chai tea with splenda and a little soy milk (low cal and tastes like such a treat). More pain…

I bet you're just a joy. You are being unhelpful! This is the "just stop it" approach which is like the equivalent of saying "because I said so" to a kid asking why: rude, inconsiderate, and slightly bitter.

Don't feel bad about the working out being hard stuff. I feel like at the start it's helpful to focus on nutrition, figuring not what keeps you full, tastes good, and isn't too high calorie. Plan meals ahead of time, even a day or two before. Walk more. You don't have to be a drill sergeant!! Also good luck:)

Another way to simply weigh is to put the hummus while in the container on the scale (just plop the entire thing on there) hit tare, then scoop out what you'd like. It will give you a negative read "-14g" for example, but it's 14g.

I eat 3 meals and 2 or three snacks. It leaves me eating all day which I enjoy because it gives me more energy and I don't feel over stuffed or deprived

One thing that helps me immensely is logging my meals a day (or even 2) beforehand. That way it's not so stressful the day of. It also helps with grocery shopping knowing in general the stuff I want (I tend to buy small amounts at a time to keep produce fresh, little $3-10 trips sprinkled through the month rather than one…

Here's the thing: if you want to be able to enjoy fun new foods, restaurants, family meals, etc., you're just gonna have to accept that it can't be perfect (with logging). As long as you're logging accurately with your foods you prepare and that's what you're eating MOSt of the time, you'll be fine. If I eat something…

Wine. Wine will get you buzzed with less calories. You'll need a few beers to buzz you, usually 150+ cal each, and usually less wine will do the trick with less cal (125ish per 5oz glass) [edited by MFP Mods]

Eggplant and tofu stir fry over rice and mixed vegetables. Easy, about 400 cal.
