I wish that was the case. I feel like we'd have been able to work out whatever issues we had. I'd invited her over at least once a week but she was always busy. I was feeling neglected myself before I got her message. I honestly don't know what I could have done differently. Thank you for your positive advice, however! I…

I peel, unfortunately. I wish I could learn to love the peel; there are lots of excellent nutrients in the skin. Don't let my preference stop you from trying it with the skin on though!

I cried the day I realized I could see my collarbone. It's such a small thing but it almost trumps the rest of the weight loss, doesn't it? ;) Good job! You're very beautiful, by the way.

Are you getting enough protein throughout the day? I used to be exactly the same way until I started making sure I was eating enough protein. It really helps keep you full long after dinner. That's my advice :).

Slowly, Mike, I've come to realize that. A major factor of her anger was that I made sure to compliment her on her beautiful body. I never said, plus size body. Just beautiful. It bothered her for about year before she told me, in that message. She thought I was being critical when she liked herself just the way she was. I…

I weigh myself several times a day. I don't see anything wrong with it, to be honest. Yes, my weight fluctuates, but if it's up that helps to remind me not to snack or over eat. It's terrific motivation to behave myself. I log my weight every morning, after peeing, naked. I don't if I don't have my scale with me. That's…

I agree with jetscreaminagain. You certainly weren't intending to start a riot, like a troll post might. It sounded to me like you'd noticed an alarming trend and wanted to make it known (especially to the younger girls) that there is a risk involved in dropping before 1200 calories. There is nothing defamatory or inciting…

You SHOULD be incredibly proud of yourself! That is an amazing achievement. Good grief, girl! Keep it up and you'll be there in no time. You're such an inspiration :).

What a warm welcome! Thank you everyone for the encouragement. It's wonderful to feel like I have partners in crime in this whole weight loss business!

On the internet they have a name for your affliction. It's called Tl;dr. Too long; didn't read ;)

Aww, that's too bad ;). I like my boys with hair on them. But what matters is that you're pleased with the results! Good for you, sir!

I'd like to join :). CW: 200 X-mas goal: 184. More if I can manage! I'll be checking in every thursday or so.

Every person is different. Who are you to say that approach isn't helping the person? Who is to say that the only kind of improvement in an individual is measurable in the form of the weight they lose? Sure, it doesn't help you. But that's you. Some people need to have their hand held. You're making an awful lot of…

I think most people change it up out of boredom from doing routine than trying to get the most effective weight loss. You would PROBABLY benefit from doing other things, like elliptical or different types of bikes (lower vs. higher), but I say if you're seeing results and are happy with how you feel afterwards then you're…

I've heard that balut is actually quite tasty. Like a roasted poultry kind of flavor. Unfortunately, I'm a very visual eater so anything that has a weird appearance or smell really turns me away. I can't really think of anything particularly strange about my diet. I like lima beans and coconut which are almost universally…

I don't think it's healthy to deny myself anything. If I want a slice of pizza I know a big slice with pepperoni is going to be a big calorie hit, but I also know depriving myself makes it all the more likely I'll binge on pizza like things hours later. So I indulge. Every once in a while. Not every day. Not even every…

Whenever I feel lightheaded I know I haven't eaten enough protein for the day. I aim for between 50 and 60. I'll eat some yogurt, a string cheese or something else with a little kick of fat and protein. Hope you figure out what the cause is!
