Hard to answer because in my opinion snackers are not really hungry but bored, stressed, eating socially just 'cause others are doing it or reacting to some other stimuli. First off try to pay attention to whether you're really hungry or not. Secondly, the rule of 'don't drink your calories' is something that's save me…

when arguing with a fool make sure the other person is not doing the same ;)

The dog? Hugo

That's so cool! Do you ever sing Louis Armstrong's songs?

That's awesome! Do you have any pro-tips for baking? Figure skating sounds fun specially if you're good at it. thanks for sharing.

Your eye glasses or visual aid's main purpose is to re-focus the light so you can see better but did you know that any transparent media also slows down light? If you use any kind of eyeware you're seeing the world with a slight delay.

It's good to learn about others' routines and how it works for them. I realize that there are people out there that don't have the visceral reactions to success or failure in their fitness journey as I described. I have no idea what percentage of the population actually goes through rationalizations like I described but…

My apologies for making you think I was postulating a dichotomy. I hope that when you read "Android vs Iphones" articles you don't think those are the only two options the author knows and has considered. I dont have a lot of experience posting on forums but I hope to learn more about how others read the tone, the spirit…

Congrats! It's my goal to rely less and less on all these data as well. Ideally good habits and a good routine can help me stay in a healthy weight range.

Thanks for the explanation of CICO. I think I got it now. Pardon me if you read my post as me postulating a dichotomy. I didnt. I also didnt suggest for people to ditch the efforts that are working long term for them even following the twinkie diet, emphasis on long term. My post is targeted to those individuals not seeing…

In terms of the "scientific reality". I am not questioning whether 1 calorie = 4.19 joules or that calculating the energy contents of food in a bomb calorimeter is not an scientific measurement. I am saying that for practical purposes, if you rely on databases, HRM, nutrition labels and humans to make the calculations,…

"coming home munchies" lol since I do OMAD and my one meal is dinner right after work I can totally relate. I had an actuary friend friend. What are the odds of bumping into another one? :wink: Keep doing what you're doing if it's working. And for the sake of you and hubby get a quiet scale would you? how loud is that…

@AnnPT77 thanks for your dissection of my post. Having empathy while you don't experience the struggles and feelings that other express is definitely a great human trait on your part. Thanks so much for sharing the app names and the links to those other posts as well.

You gotta find what works for you. I don't see myself doing this level of tracking once I hit and maintain my goal weight. Staying in a healthy body weight/size range without needing a scale or all this tracking would be ideal for sure.

That's an excellent point. I take measurements once every week. It's reassuring to see the body shrinking even if the scale won't budge. I like the way you put it about calculating one's net calorie burn. This has been the biggest revelation to me when logging and tracking religiously, that given my particular build,…

I count calories yes and I need that number to know I am eating less or more overall. I have a GI and Thyroid chronic disease and chronic lack of sleep due to caring for a son with special needs. I read the first page of comments and those first few comments were pretty supportive of CICO as a clear and absolute way of…

I have a 114 day streak going. I have lost 30 lbs this year and 45 overall. Currently have 0 friends on here. Let's change that. I am supportive, motivated and well...read my profile for more. I'll add the last 20-30 of you who have posted on here. Please add me back. Thanks.
