#1 - you are stuck with them. They are my war scars. :-) Continue on your path, lose weight, and don't worry about them.

I'm usually starving and only pancakes will do.

I don't cheat either. I plan, and eat all the good stuff when they fit. And then there are days when they don't fit and I eat it anyway, because well, I just can.

Turkey burger w/ cheddar, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, bbq sauce, and sweet potato fries. And if I'm still hungry, another turkey burger but with lettuce wrap instead of bun.

I'm having sweet potato fries tonight. I like both regular and sweet potatoes. Just depends on the day or what else I'm having. Both are good.

Where is the pumpkin bread pudding? Freezer? It's my fav dessert. I get it everywhere they have it.

Umm, no. Use a device with a GPS. You aren't walking 9:30 - 11 min/miles.

Building your base and interval work.

Not accurate on my Garmin at all. If I ate only what it says I burn daily, I'd be underweight very quickly.

I mostly get them at dinner. Dinner is usually some protein, sweet potato or grains, various vegetables. Sometimes I have them at breakfast.

Most junk food. Soda (never really drank), alcohol (and for other reasons), juice, milk shakes

$95/month + masters fee ($34/month): Right now, I go at least 6 times per week. It just depends on my training schedule. I'm getting my money's worth for sure. Love my gym!

No offense, but those are excuses. If you wanted it bad enough, you'd find a way. Yes, there are only 24 hours in the day (sadly), but we have to decide how we want to use those hours. In any event, you don't need to work out to lose weight. Tighten up your diet and you should start to see some progress.

I need these!! Will be on the lookout for it on Sunday (grocery day).

I have been there. I have been analyzing this behavior, because it was not something I ever did before losing weight. And what I learned was it was all related to too low calorie intake over multiple days. Because I did actually feel hungry and that is what starts it and then I keep eating because I don't feel full even…

Outside all year round (in my neighborhood, sometimes intervals on the track w/ my coach, local trails). I'm not even allowed on the treadmill (messes with my knees).

Sounds great!

Try 1875 for a couple of weeks and adjust from there. Depending on your weight and height, you could probably eat much more. My TDEE is around 2600 (5'6, 123 lbs).

The breadsticks are good when perfectly done. They can keep the food. Texas Roadhouse rolls w/ butter ... Dayum!!!

Blasphemy! Nothing tastes better than pizza. Well maybe bacon. lol

Agreed. But I still want the entire pizza or close to it. But I can fit that in every weekend.

This. It's math. We have a daily calorie budget, and each person has to decide how to spend that budget. Once you figure that out, it's not hard on a purely numbers level. It's the mental part, getting to the point where you are comfortable in viewing it as a daily budget.

Sounds high. I walked 10.6 miles today in 3 hours. I used a good calc online and it said I burned 660 cals. I'm 5'6, 123

I can lose weight while training, but its not easy.

Never heard this.

The mental aspect is what makes it hard for some and easy for some. When I want something, I go after it with gusto and never give up. But I realize not everyone is like me. I've only tried to lose weight 1x, and I lost more than I intended. It wasn't ever hard. Yes, I stalled multiple times, but I never said, forget it…

Sweets make me happy.

I'm flexible. I'm doing a small cut right now, but when I'm at maintenance, breakfast is 500-600, 250-300 cal snack, 600-700 lunch, 250-300 cal snack, the rest at dinner (to get to between 2300-2600).

Pancakes, egg whites, bacon, turkey chili, cottage cheese, fruit, veggies, pizza, frozen yogurt, almond/cashew milk milk, grilled chicken/fish/pork chops/turkey. These are the things I eat most.

Fantastic loss and your skin tightened up really well. Time for some muscle.
