No doubt that people can drink 12oz of vodka. I’m hoping, in your experience, that that was the exception and not the rule. But hey, YOLO, amiright?

Just got this as a gift. Is on my to read list!

Grant by Chernow. Bonus read because you burn calories trying to hold it up.

Heathen #2! Lol

Are there any estimates that can be made using METs or RPMs?

Got my workout in today ahead of the snow storm in Chicago. This weekend will be interesting!

I know one of the girls in that commercial with Oprah in Canada. She had a great experience with WW.

12oz?! I wouldn’t be drunk. I’d be dead.

This. You are probably eating more than you think.

Heathen, yes

Ripped some jeans the other day in the crotch at work (of course) and had to buy new ones. Went down a pant size. That was a bit unexpected.

It’s not cheating. I would not just go all out for an entire day. I would for one meal though. Especially if ribeye and butter are involved. And probably just estimate my calories.

#3 is great!

Two weeks is not enough time. Trust the process. Harder said than done but it’s true.

Yea, might be a bit overkill. I think you can try portioning your food without a scale at home. Before weighing out your meal, guess how much it weighs and then weigh it to see if you’re right. You can kinda train yourself that way so you don’t have to answer all of the “why do you use a scale?” questions at work. Also,…

American here who *kitten* hates ranch. (My husband is from Indiana and prefers cheese sauce as a dip. Also gross.) I don’t think it’s regional either because I’ve lived on the West coast and the Midwest and most people like ranch. It’s a bit tart but very creamy and fatty. I prefer bleu cheese or marinara or nothing at…

Then one part of your equation is wrong (or both). Either you’re over estimating the calories burned from your exercise (walking) or you’re under estimating the amount of calories eating (which is why others want to peek at your diary). Or you’re doing both but I doubt that because you didn’t mention you’ve gained weight.…

Braggs had a real good run there for a bit.

You will not get accidentally gains or bulk in a calorie deficit. It takes serious work and you’d need to be in a calorie surplus. If you want to shape your muscle, you should lift heavy.

I am assuming 2100 already includes the deficit. But could be wrong.

Don’t mean to derail but I do not understand the Sous Vide craze. My husband and I got one for our wedding and it’s just chilling in the box. I’m kinda scared of it.

I only do what finds me joy. Spending 60mins killing myself at a gym does not give me joy. I only workout 25 mins a day and I feel accomplished afterwards but not wiped out. It makes me dread the gym a lot less and actually I look forward to those 25 mins where I can play a podcast and just focus on myself. Also, I’m not…

Read the Amazon reviews on those things. They’re hilarious.

I use it for rice because for some reason I just can’t *kitten* do it on the stove. I had a pressure cooker forever for rice and when it broke I was devastated. It’s a glorified pressure cooker.

This!

I think craving food is fine. I don’t always give in but I still eat most ‘junky’ foods in moderation. Sometimes when I know my carvings is just boredom or hormones than I’ll make some hot tea with lemons (sweet craving), drink some chicken broth (salty craving), and then see what I can make for dinner tomorrow that…

Salt, pepper, paprika. Olive oil and fry on the stove.

I always do raw and have had much success. It eliminates the cooking method altogether and is pretty accurate!

What entry are using in your diary: raw or cooked weight? The package should tell you. If you don’t have a package, choose the corresponding cooking method in the database (cooked if you’re using 5.2 or raw if you’re using 11.6).

It should be 1g of protein per lean body mass, not total weight.
