Hahaha that reminds me of my 7th grade English teacher! Once a week she would give out snacks to all of her classes. This was fine by me because I was always staving in middle school and she had cheezits. However, my best friend at the time didn't eat very often. I remember an exchange that went something like this:…

Welcome everyone! Glad to see you joining up!

Magic

Ahhhhh congratulations and welcome to the 200-club!!! :smiley: Hitting the 90's must feel great! All of that progress <3 Keep counting, keep moving, you'll be 175 in no time <3 <3 <3

"Judging you when the foods you choose to avoid are their main staples." THIS is so true. Why do so many people feel the need to judge your healthy little lunch? D: Some people act like it's shameful for someone to be losing weight and making better choices.

Charter

I fast every day between 1pm and whenever my dinner is, usually 7-10pm, except on Wednesdays where I'll eat breakfast because I'm out late for lab. Unless I pack a lunch, then I'll skip it. I say "fast", but I don't snack at all, so it's more like refusing to eat my first meal before 1pm and then eating my second meal…

That's the spirit! :smile: life is too short to not eat the foods you want, but life is too short if you only eat those foods. I'm finding that I appreciate the old foods I used to eat for every meal a lot more as treats than the norm already. Like Cracker Barrel was a treat for not going out for over a month. I was kind…

A lot of people also think the surgery is a magical solution that will solve all of their problems. It really won't. But best of luck to him! And I feel you so much on the whole "just big people" thing. My mom is sold on the "big boned" spheal. When I told her I want to push for 130 and see what I look like along the way,…

Also Theo, maybe you could do candy bars instead since they're all wrapped up? Or Hershey kisses? Maybe having that physical barrier of a wrapper that you have to break to mess up your goal can help. Or, if it continually is an issue, maybe you could reward yourself with something non-food related? Perhaps every week you…

Ahh, to be honest I can only seem to keep up the 100oz of water thing up to three or four days in a row. I've been fluctuating from drinking tons of water and hardly drinking any at all. And yes I completely understand the situation in which someone you care about knows their habits will kill them but won't change. My step…

Thank you everyone for the adds <3 I look forward to this

If you love to eat a lot of food, eating clean is great. You can get soooo much food for so little calories with vegetables. I'm fortunate enough to love peas and broccoli though, haha. If your problem is craving junk at night, try lessening the amount you eat. Be aware of the differences in emotional hunger (need to eat…

No cheat days =p

Thanks for restarting the group :smiley: I hope more people join up soon! SW: 228.2 (2/20/17) CW: 215.6 (3/24/17)

Hi! My name is Tiffany, and I'm a 19 year old college freshman living in Florida. I plan to major in biology, and hopefully go on to med school :smile: I plan to start volunteering at a hospital, so that'll have me on my feet! I've always been chunky, but I don't think I pushed overweight until middle school. I didn't…

I was in denial for years. A month ago I was about 228 pounds, now I'm 215. If you want support from someone else around the 200 range looking to drop into 130-150, feel free to add me :smile:

Since you asked, dietbet is a "game" where you can gamble your money on weight loss. You have to provide decent proof to keep cheaters out. But yeah basically you can put down $30, and if you lose 4% of your total body weight in a certain amount of time, you make that money back and then some. It adds a good incentive to…

I also have a chili recipe that I need to find in the abyss :p

Here's a picture of how mine turned out! (Two servings of vegetables on a sub roll)

I'm currently at ~1450 max per day, but lately I've been ending up around 1,000 naturally since I eat two meals and don't snack. (I prefer big meals over small ones, so I only eat twice.) Those extra calories I just kind of use as leverage for dinner in case it's more than ~500-700 per serving. I don't have a Fitbit, but I…

Yeah, that makes sense. I have issues hitting my macros (I tend to opt for less carbs and more protein.) A lot of times protein is the only goal I hit. But yeah I log everything I intake except the seasoning I use on my chicken, my flavored water packets (about 10 cal per day I use them) andddd trying to guess what my mom…

Ayane101, I feel you so much girl. The worst part about losing weight so far is how my brother shames me *constantly*. I'm doing fine without him, because nothing is ever enough for him but he won't stop even when I ask him. If you are happy with your progress and you know what you are doing, don't take advice from anyone…

So does anyone else here actually enjoy logging every bit of food and measuring every serving? I really enjoy that extra bit of security to the point where I won't eat something if I can't find at least a passable estimate. Today my lab partner said "it's okay, I won't judge" jokingly today when I was entering in my…

So I'm only about 12 pounds down from where I started, but I was able to fully pull up, button and zip up size 14 jeans today! A couple weeks ago I couldn't even get them past my thighs! And they didn't burst when I sat down! Ahhhhhh They're too tight for me to wear comfortably, but I'm officially going to start wearing my…

My go-to lunch is chicken, broccoli and brown rice with a little lemon juice. But I love broccoli and wouldn't say I'm a particularly picky eater. Even over a month of having it almost every day feels like treating myself when I used to life off of canned and frozen foods. It's also really easy to make and doesn't taste…
