agreed. i ended my 8 month plateu by changing my calorie intake to my TDEE (from 1200 to 1700)

Those dancing games are fun, and healthy too. I think it would be a good investment,because you can also access the internet and Netflix as well. ETA: In my opinion, the XBOX Kinect fitness and dancing games are easier to use than Wii.

Gallbladder flares are usually caused by fatty foods. Your best bet would to turn around and go somewhere else.

Hell at one point when I lived with my ex on his father's land I didn't have running water or electricity in order to cook unless his father felt generous enough to turn the power on. Is it still "laziness" to go to McDonalds in order to eat cooked food in a comfortable place? FYI I still lost tons of weight while eating…

its a combination of ignorance of proper nutrition, poverty, and local economy. some people may even lack electricity and running water necessary to prepare healthy nourishing meals. I think it really depends on the situation.

bump I would never do it, but that's just because I would drop the damn thing on myself.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! OP as long as you're expending more calories than you take in, the time of day you eat is irrelevant.

sushi is my favorite thing to eat! There are so many varieties, and for 6 pieces you usually eat between 150-200 cals, depending on the type and how it is made. Just make sure you go to reputable places.

That's right...................big socks and big shoes!

I wear a size 9-10, but my husband wears a 15EEEE :)

sounds like an advertisement for Crossfit.

Not particularly. I tend to stare more at the buff ones:)

I enjoy Zumba so much more than spinning. It doesn't feel like a work out, it is a lot of fun, and with all the endorphins pumping through my blood stream I have more energy. Spinning just made me feel like I was being tortured. Those tiny seats are WAY too uncomfortable.

BUMP: I can't use coconut flour, but hopefully the OP can get a lot of ideas.

I don't think any food should be avoided, unless you know you won't be able to eat only a serving of that food. As a general rule, I don't buy junk food I like (my husband has to have Dr. Pepper and other goodies that I don't like). If I want something I buy a small package and eat it, and then I am fine. For example, if I…

Zumba, belly dancing, or any other kind of dance inspired/related work outs. If it isn't fun I won't stick to it. I also like going for nature walks too.

I was just crying about this the other day. I try not to let it bother me, even though it's not easy.

Guess myfitnesspal has also turned into a romance site too.

If you leave off the part of them no longer fitting, you can tell her you think they'd look nice on her.

I don't like pop tarts anymore, but i'd totally use cold toaster strudel!

You may not be used to all that fiber that comes with clean eating.

well, this fat girl can do yoga. In fact I really enjoy it. :). With more practice you can improve your balance and it is gentle exercise. If nothing else, it is good for your psychological well being and stress reduction. I highly recommend it. If you are self conscious they have dvds on amazon that teach yoga; they even…

But you have already done something good: you decided to come back! Don't beat yourself up. Thing happen and the most important thing is to dust yourself off and try again. I've fallen off the wagon plenty of times and I am willing to keep you accountable if you keep me accountable (friend request pending)

My point exactly!

Everything in moderation. I still eat at McDonald's, but when I do it is the kid's meals. I usually get an ice cream cone, hot chocolate, or plain coffee usually more often.

Count me in! SW 295lbs CW 237lbs Goal for 5/29: 217lbs UGW 130-160lbs

I don't like sweet food first thing in the AM, so for me it'll be oatmeal with a teaspoon of vegan margerine and salt. I also eat a lot of eggs with cheese (I don't drink cow's milk) and you can saute spinach with it. If you really want bacon,eat it. You can also try turkey sausage and bacon (both I highly recommend…

I have had 2 surgeries and I really don't want to have it unless it's medically necessary for me.

I haven't had the lap band, but I am taking psych medications that control my compulsive over eating and it is really helping me. I still want to be your friend and I log in every day.

I too love diet sodas, and I managed to go about a month. Then I had a relapse and drank one yesterday and one today. It's not easy
