Coffee - black, no sugar. (I drink it iced to help improve calorie burning - cold drinks help) Pickles. Celery without any dip. Coke or Sprite Zero. Generally speaking, if it has less calories than it takes to burn up by eating it, I don't log it.

You may think you're eating enough, but until you log it, you don't know it for fact. It is up to you, but considering you're pregnant and have diabetes, I would be speaking with a doctor about what is necessary for you to eat to keep yourself and your unborn healthy. I'm sure your midwife is skilled and knowledgeable, but…

You are welcome to add me - I've got a long journey (125lbs to lose at start, 110lbs to go) ahead and plenty of room for more friends.

Welcome to add me - I've got a long journey ahead and plenty of room for more friends.

Rock on, add me as a friend and share the support! I've got a long trip ahead of me, the more the merrier.

You're right, I did - typos happen. You're also right that the metabolism only shuts down in death. Everything else I said above however, is also accurate. The 2lb/week rule is a guideline. Below that, there *is* a risk. Don't believe me? Ignore my advice and see for yourself. Your limit might be at 3lbs, 4lbs, 5lbs.…

Nooooo!!! (Flings tofu at the mob) That's a great mindset to have - I hear so many people on here tell me (and others) "Hey, you didn't gain that weight overnight, it's going to take awhile to get rid of it too..." but when it comes to eating healthy? "RAW VEGGIES AND TOFU BURGERS STAT!!!" Well, to them I say, "I didn't…

LoL! Guys guys, I'm not saying cheeseburgers are inherently bad - I'm saying eating them as your only source of food might be! :smiley: Heck, I enjoy my bun-less Angus burgers I cook at home with sauteed onions and salsa. :wink: I was simply pointing out that it's a calorie deficit, not what *type* of food you consume that…

Yep, it's also total BS that people here, on this very site, have plateaued even though they were seriously working out - until they ATE MORE CALORIES because they were DRASTICALLY under nourished. But that's just total BS too. As are the scientific studies that validate what I said. Sources: Livestrong Weight Loss…

Fact: If 2000 calories maintains your weight, 1700 calories will reduce your weight by 1lb a week. In theory, yes, it could be 1700 calories of cheeseburgers if you wanted. Are you going to feel well after a week of this? No. Definitely not. Are you going to lose 1lb? On average? Yes. So yes, accurately log your…

Weight loss doesn't come from hard work. It comes from willpower, portion control and accurate measuring of your intake vs. output. A toned body, muscle gain and improved endurance comes from hard work. I can burn 4,000 calories a day, but if I'm eating 300 calories more than I burn, I'm going to gain a pound a week. My…

SAFE weight loss = 2lbs per week. So you've had (roughly) 10 weeks and lost 25lbs = 2.5lbs per week, which is within tolerances. Now, this also begs the question - when you dropped 10lbs, did you readjust your goals in MFP? Every 10lbs you need to readjust your goals according to your *new* weight - otherwise, you'll wind…

Just a suggestion, but you should really look into the FitBit Blaze - same price range ($199) and it has some really nice features. It's not swim-proof, but it is water resistant. Just my .02 worth of currency.

Hey, right there with you. My goal is -125lbs. It *can* be done. It takes time. Once you see what your calorie goal is per day, you have two choices, really - start eating healthier (most really healthy foods are lower calorie naturally, no need for artificial anything) or start working out. Exercise allows you to "buy"…

Nope, never been caught. Have you ever gone to bed with a "10" and woke up with a "2"?

*Looks up Catfish in Urban Dictionary* No, she looks 100% authentic and has a very nice smile to boot.

Even upside down you've got a great aura of determination and focus. Put that look to work for you and you can do anything!

Jumped yes, fallen - no. Have you ever misread "angle" as "angel" and had a good chuckle over it?

Just pointing out something here...you've lost that much since this New Years...unless you live south of the equator, you're probably wearing bulky clothing which really won't show off your weight loss. Now, speaking from past experience, when I lost weight during the winter months, come spring/summer - I found that people…

I dunno if I'd survive very well with either of the two ladies above - I think my wife would kill me from head slaps to get my attention back on zombie killin'! LoL!

Very welcome, keep up the awesome work - your profile pic looks fantastic! Not sure where you're going to lose much though..LoL!

War is ones and zeros - your enemy is alive or your enemy is dead. This guy would get that. I'd be fine with him watching my back.

I dunno, he can't even get his profile pic on straight...might be a problem.

Technically, no - but I have dated someone who's country of origin was not the mine. Have you ever...walked through a room but it was more like the room passed around you, like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through? (Bonus points if you know what this is from!)

I can *totally* see where you're coming from on this and yes, there is a part of me that gets excited over losing weight - it's also the part that wants to step on the scale daily and fret over every pound I don't lose, or every time I step on and there's a gain that is nothing more than a daily fluctuation. This is why…

Everyone's covered the whole "don't skip out on carbs" bit, so let me focus on the other half of this: Exercise. What's your reason for wanting to exercise? Are you eating too much? If you're following the weight loss advice of MFP, then you should have a daily calorie goal that's going to drop you 1-2lbs per week -…

I'm an omnivore - It was how I evolved. My teeth are designed for both vegetables and meat. My digestive system works quite well at pulling nutrients from both. I don't have a double chamber stomach to pull the maximum nutrients from veggies, so I stick to eating fruits, veggies and meat. I'm also a person with a…

Here's the bottom line and if someone else in the list already said this, my apologies for repeating it: Diet pills = speed weight loss. Speed weight loss = temporary effect. Temporary effect = Yo-yo response. Yo-yo response = significant weight gain after stopping the use of the pills. Weight loss is boring and simple,…

Usually at 2000+ calories a day, I've noticed that being shy by up to 300c doesn't really hurt anything, but at around 400+ I notice that when I get up the next day I'm ready to eat the whole house and it takes a lot of will power to just fix up the normal breakfast. Of course, my goal is weight loss, if your goal is…
