At minimum, you need to start logging your cheat days.

On Sunday a girlfriend of mine gave me a massive pile of clothing she no longer wanted. In it were a pile of super cute date night dresses, including one I plan on wearing tonight. It's size 'M', which is meaningless as all get out, but it's been 16+ years (high school) since I last wore a size 'M' anything.

I'm anxiously approaching my 100lb mark, but after that I'll still have another 30 to go. Let's be friends!

The other day I sauteed a bunch of cabbage (napa and green) with onions and a little oil and I mixed that with some pre-cooked chicken breast and doused it all in Sriracha and it was so amazing. Like 3 cups of food was 250 calories (mostly cabbage, only did 2.5 oz of chicken). Super easy, super tasty.

In general I've been following a diabetic-friendly diet. My A1C is great, there's no health reasons for me to follow this diet of sorts other than it's been working for me so I stick with it. This means I generally avoid super sweet or carby things. Whenever I do try to sneak in a chocolate bar or similar, I'm always…

Really? It seems slightly better if I choose "Bicycling, road cycle" but I used to always choose the "Bicycling, 12-14mph moderate" options (or whatever my speed was) and those report 2-3x as many calories as the "road cycle" option. But even just the generic "Bicycling, road cycle" option has approached 1000 calories…

That was not a small goal at all! Great job on meeting this goal, have a fantastic time on your vacation and we'll be waiting for your return!

Oh wow, that is a huge success! Great job!!

Buddha's delight can be a great option

Two more months later and I'm now down 85lbs. I had a great NSV this morning, a friend posted to facebook a group picture from last night and for literally the first time in my life I don't feel like I stand out as a fat whale. I barely stand out as overweight it seems (on the left, in the pink):

For me, the sugar "goal" is more like a terrifying "do not cross" line. I don't have any health issues requiring that I limit my sugar consumption but I have found that sugar consumption somehow just begets more hunger. I really try to avoid anything with more than 20g of sugar per serving, which permits every fruit and…

Correct, but when filling out the diary MFP will let women input as few as 1000 calories and men as few as 1200 calories. If you try to input fewer calories MFP will yell at you and say you're eating too little. It's just two different thresholds MFP has, one is the daily target and one is how much you can literally enter…

Gin, muddled basil, seltzer, a splash of lime juice and just enough simple syrup to sweeten to your tastes. Should be well under 100 calories/glass.

I eat about 1150 calories a day. 2 eggs each morning, usually hardboiled -- 150 calories 400 calorie lunch (huge salad, sandwich w/avocado, chicken and rice, etc) 500-600 calorie dinner (dude, that's a lot of calories) I don't snack so much as eat my food super slowly. Those two eggs? I usually eat one at 9:30 and the…

My butt is a large!!!! I don't think it's ever been a large. Somewhere in middle school I fit into medium sized clothing but by 9th grade it was 16/XL all the way. I have such a hard time looking at these clothes and accepting they'll fit over my big booty, but they do!

I like turning them into a salad with sliced green pepper, sliced pepperocini, sliced olives, cucumber, maybe some tomato, artichoke hearts and/or feta. Dress it up with some balsamic vinegar, a touch of olive oil and some lemon juice.

Gin and soda water

I just started my first relationship after losing tons of weight. So far the issue I've had with dating is watching all my male 'friends' disappear the moment I tell them I'm now in a relationship. It's weird watching a man back away quickly without moving at all.

He showed up about 15 minutes late, we sat down at the restaurant and the waiter came by to take our drink order. I just ordered a water, but then I started wondering if I might like an iced tea as well. I questioned this, unable to make up my mind, as the waiter walked away. Finally the waiter was too far away that I had…

In the US we call this "Wild camping" "dispersed" camping. Sometimes "backcountry camping". We call campsite camping "car camping" as well.

Hear hear! For a while now I've been bummed there aren't more shows involving lackadaisical yet intelligent fat women named Rachel in their mid-30s. I'm not sure where I can turn to find a character I really can identify with.
