Does your hotel have mini fridge? If so, stock it up while you're there. Fruits, veggies, lean protein.

There's no sure way to know how many calories you're eating at a local restaurant. Sure, you could get the chicken, but is it cooked in oil? Butter? Seasonings? How much of each? How much sour cream is on that potato? At least with chains you can get a general idea and overestimate. Which is why I tend to stick with chain…

Be sure to eat back some of your exercise calories. It didn't take you a short time to put on weight. It shouldn't take you a short time to take it off. I've been overweight since my teens. I'm 34 now. In a month, I've lost 9.2 pounds. And that's more than great.

Quick loss isn't the answer, though.

....I'm a 5'8" female weighing 243, and I eat 1590. That's before eating 20-50% of exercise calories back. EAT!

Yeah, some didn't get it. Lol. I am, as earlier said, wanting to buy a larger one in the future, but I'm satisfied knowing mine works right now.

I accidentally put my response in the quote. Lol. OP is hell bent on the easy way out. Sure, she may have lost weight with this slime fast shakes (and that wasn't a typo lol), but what she is failing to realize is, even if she reaches goal, she can't healthily live on this regimen, and once she going back to the old ways…

It appears that it's in a fitting room :P. Won't get to wear it if she doesn't buy it! ;)

The only way you will ever be able to wear a bikini is if you buy one.

Did you gain all this weight fast? Nope. So don't expect it to come off fast.

First, start today. Tomorrow never comes!

How do you know how many calories you are eating then?

Glad it should be doing okay. Mine is a Walmart one, about 15 bucks paid. I plan on upgrading to a larger one -- after I gent done hosting a gender reveal shower, which is costing me a pretty Penny. Do you have any recommendations on a decent one, 40 bucks or under?

Lol, I mentioned earlier that I meant 21 grams, which is about 60 calories. My brain got flipped flopped. ;) I don't think even my honey loving *kitten* could handle that much honey at once!

This is the 2nd post about slim fast you have started. Hate to say, but you're not gonna get a lot of folks on here praising them. Like I said to you earlier, we like food. ;) Diets don't work, because you can't diet your whole life. It'd all about proper calories and macros and nutrients, and learning to use portion…

Ugh, I meant 21 grams, which is 60 CALORIES lol. Excuse the moment of dyslexia. :)

I prefer to eat my calories. (Which is why I'm here on this site lol) Let's say that slim fast shake is 400 calories. Idk what they are, ive never drank one. Don't you think you could find a meal with lean protein, veggies, and maybe even some bread for 400 calories, and feel Fuller? Say, some baked chicken breast, a 50 or…

Mmmmmm. That better be blue plate mayonnaise.

Get the chicken.

I can put my two cents in, too! *foot stomp*

Lol. Can we create an exercise in the database for that?! (I wouldn't be shocked if someone already has!)

Simpsons episode. I remember that one. Quoted it the other day, too. ;)

Technically, this should be under chit chat, anyway. Not weight loss help.

Mom of 0 cause I don't like kids ;)

You're probably underestimating. Get a digital scale, throw away your measuring cups. Measure every bite in grams, every sup in ml.

Plus, I get up at 0400 and "skip" breakfast often. Eating and not eating during certain times of the day doesn't play a significant role in your BMR.

Dunkin donuts iced coffee with milk and sugar, and their ham, egg, and cheese wake up wrap. 260 calories, and 12 grams of protein.

Start with waking up earlier than noon. Probably will go to bed a little earlier, then. Then wake up earlier. Repeat process till on an appropriate schedule.
