Restaurant eating is a guess - I agree with the above poster. Even a "healthy" salad option can be high in calories because of the dressing. Everything seems to have tons of butter, oil, sugar, salt to make the food taste amazing.

You manually log stationary bike or wear it on your ankle to increase your step count

I agree with the posts above, it simply takes time. Keep up the good habit and endurance will come naturally, you won't even notice right away, it will become apparent after you look back at your time logs, You dont Log all your sessions, Just a few now and again.

I lost 90 since January but recently had a set back and gained back 10 in the last month. For some reason it was easier for me to keep a weight loss calorie deficit when I first started. Now I'm still hungry when I eat maintaience calories - I used to be able to ignore my hunger but it's not as easy anymore. I have been…

With days like that, I would go with a meal replacement like Soylent, Joylent, or Super Body Fuel - skip the junk foods and go the easier healthier route.

I couldn't imagine the smell, protein farts!

Soylent is the best I have tried, vegan and complete nutrition at a lower cost than others I have seen. Low glycemic index value as well.

Soylent and Joylent meal replacements keep me full. Additionally, if I just need something to hold me over for a couple of hours after work and before dinner I drink Muscle Milk Light, 20 grams of protein at only 100 calories.

What machka9 said. Plus, xbox games are more boring and repetitive than exercising. Gamers press the same buttons on the remote over and over a billion times for flashing lights on the tv, by the end of the year they moved on from that game, five years later they moved on from that console. Exercising is a challenge, if…

Oh hell no! I like food to much! (I was thinking about Fasting 24 hours before Thanksgiving) But not as a regular diet. I thought 1,400 was a minimum- for my height, weight, and age that is. I'll shoot for 1,500 based on the suggestions I read here.

I went from 200 lbs at the beginning of January down to 130 at the end of September. From October to now I gained 10 pounds, ever since it started getting colder I have been craving sweets and that eventually led to bingeing sweets. I would like to loose that 10 so I can get back to my maintenance of 2500. I am male, 5'7"…

Another good day within my limit, that's two in a row - hoping for a third. I am going to try a 24 hour Fast from Wednesday to Thursday 12pm to 12pm.

I have been having some issues for the past month. The thing that always gets me is, once I exceed my calorie goal - I use it as an excuse to continue eating often leading to a binge. One day at a time! I did good on Friday, binged Saturday but have been on track for Sunday and Monday. I wish you well!

I gorged myself the past month or so, I gained 10 pounds and would like to get rid of it so I can go back to eating at my maintainence 2500 calories.

In addition to all of these correct answers, I do have one thing to add. Once you feel that you have failed, yet again, like I have so many times, you decide to give up that day and try again the next day. Meaning, once a person fails, they tend to say to themselves, "well I have already failed today so I am going to…

Let's do it! Do what you can, control what you can, one step at a time, one day at a time!

My old favorite after work dinner was Jack In The Box: Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger: 910Cal, Large Curly Fries: 580Cal, Large Dr. Pepper: 360 Cals, Side of Jalapeno Poppers (Large): 510 Cals, Buttermilk Dipping Sauce: 130 Cals. Some nights I would add Two Tacos: 380 Cals, or Mozzarella Sticks: 560 Cals. Thats 1,850Cals for…

Dark chocolate is in fact good for you and can be part of a healthy diet. Like others said before me, incorporate it into your calorie limit. You can: A) Eliminate it from your diet all together, period. B) Incorporate a healthy amount into your diet - 1-2 squares or less a day or about 80 calories. (I need help with the…

I put 900 grams - yes nearly two pounds worth of Broccoli, Baby Carrots, Bell Peppers, Red Potatoes, and Zucchini in a hamilton beach steamer. Add a little Ronco Magic (Set it and Forget it,) come back 15 minutes later and top it off with some Mrs Dash, Pepper, and ranch dressing seasoning - comes out to 350 calories I get…

It happened twice in fast succession, up in the pacific northwest it happened three times in the span of 12 months. Constantly? No. Enough times for people to remember it that way? Yes.

This is a good suggestion, I should get rid of the sweets in the house. I feel like ridding them from the house makes me weak, or its an excuse somehow - because I have always had sweets in the house and it never used to be an issue until the last couple of months. However, there is no harm in ridding the house of sweets…

If your trying to replace a meal, you should look for a meal replacement. While protein alone helps with muscle gain and satiation - it's lacking the rest of the nutrition you need to live. Slimfast tends to be heavy on the sugar and not great on the macro nutrients. I personally lost 60 lbs eating a meal replacement…

I cut alcohol out of my diet because I like eating food more.

I too have been feeling super hungry as the day grows shorter and temperatures get colder. I too wonder if our bodies are trying to layer on fat in preparation for winter when food would historically be scarce and harder to find.

There are people that are on all liquid diets, I was one of these people for a time. You absorb nutritients just fine from liquids.

My Mind is Telling Me NO! BUT MY BODY... MY Body is telling me YESS!

Two supplements make me break out. Mens Daily Vitamins, something in that will make my breakout if I take them every day. At about the one week to two week mark I get very bad Acne. Additionally, biotin makes me break out at about the five day mark. (For the Mens Daily Vitamin, it could be the biotin in it causing my…

I am stopping by TJ today to pick me up some of those!

Oh, I almost forgot. Get some cucumbers, slice them up and use them to dip in salsa or another good for you food like hummus.
