Depends... will there be pictures of food ?? Jk

^^ Steve will never steer you wrong.

@dlm4mom ... that's the most common issue ... one bad day breaks motivation and then it spirals out of control. I dont have a fix other than hit the reset button ASAP and stem the backwards slide.

@brightsideofpink ... that looks amazing!!! You have my wanderlust going in overdrive as stare out my office window at the drizzle.

Often it's an issue of proportions ... me personally, i lose fat in my arms and legs first ... so halfway through my stomach looks every bigger. I have very stubborn belly fat. So when the rest of me gets thinner my stomache looks even bigger than before in a progress pic.

^^ the hardest time to stick to your diet is in the grocery store!!

So sorry about your dad. I also do the cold shower method and it works for me. I start like warm, get in, and turn it cold

We was happy and played for a few hours today which was a relief. Medicines are working just gotta be patient and let him heal. Here is a pic of him from the day before he got sick ... until this, he's always been such a happy baby:

The general advice is eat more food so that you do not collapse into a binge cycle, it can be helpful to find low calorie filling foods such as zucchinis and things like that

Why "just say that" ... why not explain what you mean by the word "ghetto"? I spent 3 years the poorest area of Los angeles including being in Montebello during the King riots. Does that make me ghetto ? I lived off the land and grew my own food in British columbia for 2 years in an effort to escape the government's…

I'm curious about the inclusion of ghetto. Like, spiritual and hippie I think go hand in hand (15 years ago I was a hippie) ... but all these terms mean a different thing to each person. What did you mean by ghetto person?

I hope you find the right person for motivation and comradory on your journey.

^^ I was making a hipster joke. Oh the irony of the lost irony.

" ... I dont believe in labels " 😂🤣😂🤣

^^ lolol. @Tatummfp ... I'm focusing on small portions but still eating yummy food! It's worked so far. For the record though I will post most meals on my wall...

14 days in: SW 186 CW 179.4 I cut carbs so lost ot water weight lost. Estimating 1.5 lbs of fat lost

Weigh the whole chicken before and after you'll know the % loss. Interpolate your starting weight by dividing by the % loss of your served portion

This was last nights dinner ... the thigh was weighed raw .. .then the cooked bone was weighed before it went into the trash. The net weight between the two is what got put on mfp.

The weight for a serving/calorie calc is the weight raw. I weigh my bones and subtract them from my inital serving size before i throw them out... It is a little conservative as a cooked bone weighs less than a raw one.. but i figure mostly because the marrow seeps into the juices which of course get eaten. I'm not sure I…

Hooe everyone is staying strong this weekend and weighing their portions ... Portion control is the key!!

I know you're asking for lady-only friends ... but a small word of advice ... ... you can lose weight while bedridden. You do NOT need to work out to lose weight. Not being able to work out is no reason to gain weight. It's about calories consumed.

Sounds like you've lost all your water weight ... the water weight is the easy stuff. Now to evaluate a true calorie goal and start burning fat. What is your height and weight ?

How tall are you? More petite ppl will see a difference sooner. At 235 lbs SW, I would take a progress photo when you get to onederland and compare. Take photos because you won't notice due to the day to day gradual change. It's going to take a while. It is a slow and drawn out process requiring a different type of…

We need your height and weight to give a proper assessment but 95% of the time you're not weighing your food. ...its thermodynamics... the body burns carbon ... consume less carbon and you'll lose weight.

Starvation mode is a total myth.

Clear difference ... stomache looks great.

BMI is useless... it only applies to people of average height and the further off average you are it gets exponentially less accurate (squared function of height). If I had your body ... I would focus on strength training and cardio while eating the same. Prime candidate for a recompense session as i assume you have no…

Are you using a food scale for every item that goes in your mouth ? How tall are you and what do you weigh now ?
