Was eating 1200 for about a week. Maintained weight for 3 days. Bumped it up to 1550. Consistently loosing .4lbs each day since (on off days from the gym).

My set cold turkey date was yesterday. I did "wean" from 20, to 10, to 10, to 5, to 5 and had 3 on my "cold turkey date". Messed up after 21 hours and had one. Will being trying again today. It's insane. But it will get better. I've been reminding myself that smokers have more visceral fat, that smoking causes fat to stay…

Somehow I start with "Despacito" Luis Fonsi or "Mia" Bad Bunny or something by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Though towards the end I always end with "More Human" by White Zombie after a solid hour of random classic rock and heavy/death metal. 😂

Bald eagle so far. Hoping to lose an elephant heart on top of that! :)

If you need a support buddy when you quit, feel free to send me a message and friend me! Took a week for me to cut down from a little over a pack and a half to 4 a day. And I literally smoked 3 within the first hour of waking up in the morning. Going to go cold turkey tomorrow. (Christmas present to myself... and I wont be…

Thanks for the replies again, everyone. I have calmed down since I posted this topic and feel a little embarrassed for having done so. It was a rough day at work and all the stress bubbled up and resulted in this. 😅 I'm thankful for all of the kind words and advice. Yesterday was the first day I "broke" my diet (with a…

Yep, he hates them at this point.
-
He's been eating some of those for sure, but of course isn't a huge fan of many of them. A month out in the field last year killed whatever finite amount of enjoyment he had for them. But honestly, I think he needs the high calories because he's working out more on top of the long shifts. But I'll definitely chat with him…

Thanks for the ideas! :grin:
-
Thank you so much! I will be forwarding this link to him. I know another issue is how much he can buy at one time (he's walking with the groceries and the water there is "unsafe for consumption" so any trips to get food include getting a gallon or two of water). But I read through these and a lot sounded delicious and…

Thank you!

I haven't had the soda (or energy drinks or juice or creamer) in two weeks today. :smiley: I did buy protein powder last week and have been considering doing smoothies, cause I've just been adding it to almond milk. Thanks so much! I'm sure my appetite right now is suppressed due to stress (husband just deployed) and a…

My favorite cookbook of all time is "Color Me Vegan" (even though I dont eat strictly vegan). It's got some amazing recipes in there that everyone can enjoy. My favorite is a recipe for Chinese Hot and Sour Soup.

Thanks again, all! This has all been really informative and helpful!
-
Thank you all for your input! :smiley: my problem has been primarily eating OMAD for the last... year or longer. Not intentionally. I'm rarely hungry and then once I "remember" that I haven't eaten, I binge. I know I was getting a lot of my calories from beverages as well (2 sodas daily and two cups of coffee with heavy…

I'm sure it's already been mentioned several times already, but almond milk supposedly has more calcium than cow's milk.
-
Okay! That makes so much more sense. Thank you for explaining it so well!

It recommended 1,200, because I said sedentary and wanted to loose 2lbs a week (1% of my current weight being roughly 1.88). I changed it to active (since I'm going to the gym and exercising at least an hour 5x weekly) with the goal set at 2lbs a week and it went up to 1,550. I'll look for and grab the book! A friend IRL…

Thank you everyone for your words and for your support!! I will go cold turkey and suck it up. My husband deployed two weeks ago and he hasn't smoked a cigarette since he's been on deployment. I'm very proud of him and happy for him. I moved in my parents while he is deployed and they're both chainsmokers that roll their…
