*snort* Have you been to 1760? I've been meaning to try it for awhile now.

Oh really? And your basis for that is...? I'm 5'7, fluctuate around 130-135lbs, and would not be "underweight" if I got down to 120lbs.

Congrats on your weight loss. Keep up the great work! If you chance the uppercase [ IMG ] to lowercase [ img ] , your pictures will show.

Define "bad for you." If you have enough calories to fit fish and chips into your day, go ahead. It won't hurt your weight loss efforts at all, unless it puts you over your calorie limit. Same with any and all other foods.

It's really not that hard. Eat a caloric deficit and lose weight. I promise, it's that simple. Gluten is not the devil. Fat is not the devil. Carbs are not the devil. Sugar is not the devil. If you eat at a deficit, regardless what those foods are, you will lose weight. Because....science.

Hmmm, well that's odd. Could have sworn you posted this... Here is an example of one and please comment on if it is or isn't. I mean, I guess in my twisted weird brain, it almost sounded like you were asking for advice. Silly me.

Soooo....did you actually have a question here or.....?

....I feel like no matter what I say, I won't be able to win here... (that's probably how most of your friends feel, too...)

That actually sounds pretty good.

Eton Mess; pastry cream, raspberry pound cake, meringue, macerated strawberries, vanilla chantilly, raspberry, raspberry sorbet. "Peaches & Cream"; peach parfait, almond sponge cake, milk chocolate cremeux, stone fruit, blackberry, white peach sorbet, blueberry, macaron, blueberry fluid gel. Goat Cheese Cheesecake;…

*sigh*

I don't diet on vacation. It's one week. Have fun, enjoy yourself, and get back to it when you get home.

No.

One time one of the cooks on the line tied my apron string to the handle of a pot while I went to the bathroom. Came back, grabbed my apron, and thankfully caught the pot as it fell. Another time, he hid my timer under a bowl so I was searching everywhere for it when it started going off, and he was watching and laughing…

You're fine. You could probably be eating a little more calories, too. I generally skip breakfast, have coffee only. I start work between 1-2 every day, I generally eat something standing right before service starts (work in a kitchen) around 5:30ish, and if I'm hungry after work (10pm), I'll eat again. I usually like to…

Agreed.

Most first impressions (especially on dating sites) are all about looks. I mean, it's the first thing you notice about a person. IMO, weight tends to matter a lot. This is a generalization, mind you. I don't think all men would agree, but quite a majority of them probably do. And I don't agree with the "if he doesn't want…

Yes. Someone at your size can and probably will lose more than 2lbs/week in the beginning.

One of my brothers told me once that I would be the fattest and ugliest one at the party we were going to.

Just started lifting again yesterday, after a far too long hiatus and am now back at the very beginning. I want to squat my bodyweight. :bigsmile:

I would speak to a psychiatrist. Sounds like you need to seek out some professional help and there is no shame in doing so. They can probably help you without prescribing medication. Although, it might be that you really need medication and you should be open to that.

Can you tell me what the difference between natural and added sugar is? Are you a diabetic?

To echo the above poster, you're undereating. Doesn't matter which "good" or "bad" foods you're eating. It would be more helpful in the long run to eat a reasonable caloric deficit and to resistance train to retain what precious LBM you have left.

It's not an overnight change. You have to stick with it even if you're slow at seeing results. - Eat at a reasonable caloric deficit. <---- That right there is really ALL it takes for weight loss. - Exercise. (What kind of exercise will vary on your goals and what you enjoy doing) That's really all there is to it.

Baby powder?
