I've worked a desk job for the past 12 years. Short walks help me burn some extra calories during the day, and give me a break from whatever I'm working on. Also, walks are generally less frowned upon by society than going absolutely ape-$h*t on idiot coworkers. Maybe that's just me...

Once I started looking at it as a forever/mandatory thing, it actually made it a lot easier. I just kind of accepted it. Like, death, taxes, logging my food and staying within my calorie allowance.

Stuff like Blackmill is good. Slow, but still a beat. Chillout music.

Hate it. I can't restrict myself like that or I'll crack and eat just to break the rules. I'm a rule breaker. The only rule I can stick to is limiting my calorie intake, and definitely not drastically (0.5lb to 1lb a week). D@mn the Man! Down with authority! ...I'm 36 and definitely shouldn't still be rebelling like this...

Make sure the entries you're selecting in the database match the information on the box/package of food you're consuming. There are tons of incorrect entries in the MFP database because they're user-generated. Additionally, packaged food can actually be wayyyyy off. Sometimes up to 40% by weight. Even if the package says…

Sugar does not cause weight gain. A calorie surplus increases weight gain (by weight, I'm referring to fat in this instance). You could lose weight eating only buttered donuts as long as you burn more calories than you consume. Unfortunately, because buttered donuts are very calorie-dense (a lot of calories for a small…

It's too hot to be outside here (St. Pete)! I think we're relegated to the gym until November 😅

"Hey girl, you poop with dat butt?" I don't know how or why, but I've heard this on at least three occasions.

Sounds like you've got a good start, though I think you mean 1lb per week rather than per day, which would be an alarming and unsafe rate of weight loss. Definitely take a few minutes to use the MFP guided setup to determine the appropriate calories based on your weight/height/age/goals. Also, here's a not-so-brief list to…

This really helped me for some reason: "Don't give up on a dream simply because of the time it will take to achieve it. The time will pass anyway."

That sounds seriously awesome. Take pics and post! My happy place is in a mangrove tunnel on my kayak

Yum! Fish sticks (fish fingers for the U.K. folks)

If you're comfortable with gaining all the weight back (probably plus some additional pounds on top of that), you might be able to swing it. Oh, and if you don't mind having zero energy and being ravenous 24/7 (which will almost certainly lead to episodes of binge eating), give it a try. I have to say, if you didn't get it…

Yes. Minimum net calories for women is 1200 and 1500 net for men. Net means after purposeful exercise. You eat 1200 calories, then go for a jog and burn 200 calories? You should eat no less than 1400 calories that day if you're a women, and 1700 if you're a man.

I would do anything for love... but I won't do that.

You have a very healthy outlook. Thanks for sharing!
