Chicken and broccoli, did that for a year straight. Needless to say, I'm really sick of chicken & broccoli.

Progresspics Reddit is a pretty good site. Lots of good inspiration to be had there.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I read there's like a 10-20 Percent margin of error when it comes to calories. So there's that.

You made a bad decision, and you should feel bad! lol nah. I was wondering about this myself, MFP recommends 2500 daily for me, but I'm trying to do the bare minimum of 1500. Ever since I read some success stories of guys similar to my weight and height who've reached their goals. Sometimes I feel bad about it but then I…

yep, walked for about 20mins and run into other people doing it too! Good way to socialize and exercise!

Grilled chicken salads keep me from feeling hungry most of the day. They take up 1/3 of my calories for the day, but at least I wont binge on something sweet later.

I like OGB (olive oil, garlic, and basil) on my salad. If I can't get that, then I use Ranch dressing, but I do a little trick to save some calories. I dip my fork in the dressing (ask for it on the side) and that'll keep you from using all of it, and there's just enough on it to have a bit of taste.

I bought a food scale from Wal-Mart for $20 was a reg. $40. If your goal is 1200 a day, then you should try to reach 1200 a day. If you short yourself and eat more later, your body is going to hang on to every calorie it takes in. It's basically a take one step forward, get sent two steps back kind of deal.

I want a relationship, to have that first date, that first kiss, that first...you get the idea. I'm hoping once I reach my goal weight, I can get women to talk to me longer than a few seconds, without them looking like they'd rather be anywhere else.

Factory air, I heard it called once. :smile:

Pretty much my single life. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7a/d6/cf/7ad6cf6c46a455fd994fcb9f47e3779e.jpg

I like to weigh in once a week, usually on a the same day (from the day I started) around the same time if I can. A week was enough time to see some results even if it fluctuated from water weight, there (should) be enough solid fat loss to merit a decent loss.

Even when I lost 100lbs I couldn't tell a difference, I was basically a 'smaller' fat person, if that makes any sense. I didn't see a difference in myself either. I thought I'd be seeing some muscle in my arms by then, but I didn't. However, all my peers were saying I looked better. Though the evidence of that was only on…
