Not gonna lie, keeping it up for a whole year is awesome. You've just lost your shadow is all. Calm down and relax and wait for it to catch up. Start slowly breaking back into your routine and make sure you have a couple of victories to feel good about before you start getting more serious about it again. Just hit those…

Well, you may burn more calories with a run, but if you don't stick to it or aren't capable of it, we shouldn't trash LISS IMO. Nothing wrong with doing some easy cardio if you're just trying to hit that calorie goal.

"Low Intensity Slow State" basically long slow cardio, a leisurely walk rather than running sprints.

Hey dude, I'm down almost 50 pounds so far and I have one big piece of advice for you. Get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Drive-Medical-Folding-Exercise-Peddler/dp/B00QYOZ704/ref=sr_1_10_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1521146687&sr=8-10&keywords=exercise+peddlers Put it in front of your favorite sitting spot, and never allow…

Dieting is specific to food choices. Cutting is when you are cutting weight by all methods overall including exercise.

Changing shopping habits. Bought my first pair of jeans at Target about 3 weeks ago, I grabbed the biggest size they had and they were a size too big. Used to have to add the word "Plus sized" to the search engine when I was shopping on Amazon.

Oh you sweet summer child...

There's a big difference between high impact exercise and low impact exercise. I can only run about once a week before my ankle starts giving me issues. I use the stationary bike an hour or more a day and don't even feel tired. Lifting heavy weights is almost impossible to do daily without hurting yourself unless you are…

It's foolish to think that the way you eat won't impact the way the rest of your family eats. If you make sweets and constantly have them around and are constantly eating them around someone trying to lose weight then you are forcing them to add extra effort and willpower to being able to deny the food. Your hubby may not…

Do we all know what "moving the goalpost" is here? "It stops your metabolism!" no. "It slows you metabolism!" no. "her deficit is too high probably!" Maybe. "Ha! I win! She needs to drink 2.7 liters of water a day!" no. "I have a source!" no. "She needs 2.7 liters from food and water but not soda!" no. "Soda might be okay…

There may be some metabolism voo-doo out there that works for some people, but there's one thing that works for everyone: Consume Fewer Calories Than You Burn - it's physically impossible not to lose weight this way. /thread

Huckleberry is ancient. It used to be the flower maiden's would give as tokens to their champions when their honor was challenged. To say "I'm your huckleberry" is the equivalent of saying, "I'll accept your challenge." It's used sarcastically in the movie to essentially say, "Your mouth has been writing checks and I'm…

Y'all need to get that Zen going on. No matter what task you're doing, remind yourself every few minutes to relax your shoulders and take a deep breath. When you have a repetitive task focus on trying to flow through the task. Don't be a robot, be a water-wheel that flows the motion effortlessly. You'll find your brain…

My understanding is whatever the body needs to make adequate milk it will take from your body one way or another. That means if you're not eating it, you're body is pulling it from some other source (bones, liver, brain). Do what you need to with your calories in order to be healthy, but definitely make sure your diet…

Listen carefully. You have no reason to give up the foods you love if you just want to lose some weight. Just plug in your numbers and be honest with yourself. Eat fewer calories than your daily goal every day. Need a snack? Hit that bike for an hour first, then have a snack that is fewer calories than your exercise. The…

Just eat like your mamma kept tellin' you to eat. Drink your milk and eat your greens...

You see, when it comes to truth we cannot deal with anything unless we first have an objective way to measure the truth of something. The best answer we have come up with is to have peer reviewed and empirical data from falsifiable and repeatable experience that come from a non-biased source. Even with meeting that…

I'll take my Havamal any day, "Then he sips his mead and immediately. All know what an oaf he is, He who has seen and suffered much, And knows the ways of the world, Who has travelled', can tell what spirit Governs the men he meets, Drink your mead, but in moderation, Talk sense or be silent"

Twinsies!

Got it, so hypothyroidism causes big bangs inside your body which create matter from nothing. Now THAT is cool! So theoretically people with hypothyroidism don't need to eat because they will gain weight no matter how few calories they eat... or do the calories have thyroid babies in their tummies that cause the calories…

From a shear physics standpoint, how can you gain weight if your body doesn't have the resources to create the fat in the first place? I imagine for people with thyroid issues the calorie number will change, but ultimately the CICO process is foolproof once you find the right balance. You can't get fatter if your body…

You're changing now. You are going to be someone different in 10 years. You can choose to loose, gain, or maintain your weight during that time. Trying to be happy with yourself in spite of things that are harming your health or self esteem is a good strategy for things that you cannot change or don't want to change, but…

Just plan ol' CICO. You'd think it would be the easiest thing in the world to figure our, but NOPE! I tried Atkins, Paleo, Keto, Nutrisystem (had me at 1250 calories a day as a 311 pound man...), and even went completely sugar free for a whole month. I worked out HARD for more than an hour a day really busting my hump, the…

black coffee and lots of water for breakfast. Lean meat and veg for lunch. Decent late dinner so you don't go to bed hungry. Save the calories for Guinness.

Genetics are a thing. I was 5'11 and 165 pounds when I was 19. No Abs. For a dude that was active that's pretty much unheard of.

I find there is a pretty big difference between "body positivity" and self love. Loving someone requires honesty, especially tough honesty, the kind they may not want to hear. I may have attempted to view my obesity as "not that bad" but I never got to the point where I genuinely thought it was a good thing. If you truly…

Remember these simple words. "I am in complete control of my choices at all times." When you reach for the snacks, make sure that it is a premeditated decision. Don't deny yourself, just try to work it into your calorie goals. The rest of it will work itself out from there. Do not pretend like you did not choose the…
