It's not about about being sensitive. It's a totally bewilderment. You see some "disagree" sometimes and think: disagree with WHAT? I have been pondering that myself this week. I was on the debate section. The DEBATE section. Someone asked a question. People disagreed. With a question.

Do you know my colleague? He started skipping breakfast, and eating a salad (lots of vegs) for lunch. But attributes part of his weight loss to the lemon water he drinks in the morning.

As a corrolary to this, the diet myth that fruit juice is better than other soft drinks for weight loss.

Key and Peele sketch Froyo is a perfect illustration of this.

Without roasting you... I am just wondering why you put this in the Gaining weight session when most of what you talk about is losing... (is it) 40 lbs ?

250 calories in chocolate ? I wish I could 'afford' that daily

Option 1- sync Fitbit and eat back added calories (you'll get 1200 + Fitbit calories) Option 2- don't sync Fitbit and set yourself to active or lightly active (you'll get 1x00 calories straight away).

I am reading this on April 15th. All your fears have materialized.

My model gorgeous boyfriend seems to think my measurements are ideal. I am obese and pear-shaped and he is crazy for that. Or any weight/measurements really I am since he values other qualities than my waist measurements. Again: Don't ask random internet people what you should consider attractive.

It goes away. You get used to eating less and you stop fighting all the time. At one point is becomes more of a choice than a fight. Hang in there a little longer.

She did say until the wedding. Depending on how far away the wedding is you'll have to see if you maintain or make further alterations to the dress yourself later on.

To be patient

You are not alone. I shop at off peak hours and avoid the very popular stores and you'll never see me in a supermarket on Saturday mornings. Plus I don't always recognize people out of context (hmm this face looks familiar. And it's someone I see like every day at work)

If it doesn't have fat in it it doesn't make you gain weight. And it's corollary from the same person: fruits don't contribute to weight gain. Both of these from my university educated cousin with a degree in medical technology.

Nobody told me that the most random people would realize I've lost 30 lbs, but a guy I dated who kept on mentioning my weight gain on the way up wouldn't say anything at all on the way down.

184 days of logging. Yep. That's 6 full months on here. Slow and steady progress.

If you are going to cheat at least know who you are going to cheat with. Don't wake up the following next to somebody and scream. ie if possible prelog what you plan to eat and plan around like @MikePTY suggested

I have lunch every week at my aunt's place. She usually make a really nice dessert and sometimes the rest is heavy too. I eat a little less during the week and plan for it. I also take leftovers and spread them out during the week. Or freeze them. "oh I am too full right now" works well. Eating slowly and not taking…

I followed a TED Talk where a guy in the military was talking about how people getting fat is a national security issue. There will be a point when the country can't get enough fit people to keep it secure. I think you are even nice to call your co-worker "overweight" when they are more than likely obese or maybe even…

02 Jan: 210 09 Jan: 207.2 (-2.8) 16 Jan: 205.6 (-1.8) 23/01: 206.4 (+0.8) 30/01: Frustrated at scale didn't weigh myself 06/02 07/02: 204.0 A total of 6 lbs down for the challenge so far. Not as much as I was expecting but progress is progress I guess. 14/02 ?

Too true. In the long run a chart is compelling. But, weight loss not being linear, in the short run he'll see on the chart those periods when your weight jumps up. And no amount of saying too much sodium the day before, TOM and hormones, water retention will convince him.

Saturday Night Fever - Bee Gees

First I picked a number smack dab in the middle of healthy BMI. Then I looked at maintenance calories and figured I could go lower. I don't trust myself to go by how I feel because I have been OK being overweight and obese after all. But I'll see when I get there. I have only lost 25 and an still very much obese so what do…

@quiltingjaine Yes I did track my intake as usual. Food scale and all. Ate back some but not all exercise calories. And in any case at 200+ lbs set for 1200 cals, even if I am off 20% it is still so far below maintenance it shouldn't have been an issue. Anyway... In the long run it won't even matter. Hopefully I'll come…

Female, 41, 5'7, 206 lbs (down 25. 70 more to go) 01/23 = 206.4 01/24 206.2 01/25 = 207 01/26 = 207.6 01/27=208.2 01/28 = 207.8 01/29 = 208.4 01/30 = 208.4 01/31 = 209.0 02/01= ? No the right direction. And the daily weighing isn't helping me. I'll finish this Round but I'll lay off the scale for a while in Feb.

Hi Guys A bit discouraged because I wasn't losing weight in Jan! So I took a diet break, tracked loosely and didn't exercise! :smile: Back at it for February though. Shorter month so more of a leeway to slack for a day a week and still be in the winners' circle. @jan110144 ikr! So many people in the winners circle. I…

@suziecue25 I take it you are not into bread making? I have tried sourdough starter in vain. 10 day endeavor. However I successfully managed to ferment cabbage (one week). @pinuplove Yay! Another Chef John fan! I Watch his YouTube channel but I haven't quite managed to navigate his blog. Too confusing. @French_Peasant I do…
