Oh, that sounds smart. I keep a spreadsheet too but haven't tried to calculate that --I don't know how to "cut through the noise of the fluctuations" because I've been recording my weight on numerous days of the week (I want to daily but often forget to), and it seems like it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 days for the…

I don't get the "note" joke, but your neighborhood sounds like a fun place :tongue:

Serious or not, this was a lot of laughs to read for me :laugh: so thank you :drinker:

Then you should put up a more accurate picture of yourself. ...I was thinking that it was probably a lucky shot at a good angle, in good lighting, or something. Do you have a beer gut under those clothes? This is why you'll be forever alone, unless you want desperate girls like that ^ , ...but desperate girls end up being…

So is it like alcoholism --like you can't even let yourself have 1 drink/burger because otherwise, you'll just binge on it and have a really hard time stopping yourself from binging on it every day after that? I have been wondering whether junk food is as addictive as alcohol. I do think I'm really crazy about junk food,…

Thank you for your response, but how can it not be important for weight loss? And wouldn't it be especially important if one is overeating so that they burn the extra calories they're consuming? Burning more calories than calories consumed leads to fat loss, and exercise burns calories, right? But if what you're saying is…

Yeah, you're right. Now I know to do both. I think before, whenever someone said, "watch what you eat," I was thinking that you have to feel like you're deprived and hungry most of the time, but I've been losing weight while counting calories and working out a moderate amount, and haven't felt too deprived (but it helps…

Wow, this thread got revived after almost a year! I apologize for not responding to most of the posts; I don't know what happened; I think I thought not many people would respond and just forgot about this thread. Now I've read all the posts, and they are very helpful or interesting, so thank you, everyone. I think you and…

Thanks for your response and encouragement. The week prior to last week when I counted calories consumed, I ate an average of 2,565 calories per day. That week, I had gained 0.3 lbs. of fat according to my body composition monitor, so in order to have lost 0.5 lbs. of fat that week, I should have eaten 2,800 fewer calories…

katieblueiz, did you see my long long long comment (posted on Thursday) lol?

(Not that it really matters, but I've lost 34 lbs. --29 before trying out MyFitnessPal--, and I did it even though I ate a lot of junk food the whole way and hardly worked out; I just reduced the total number of calories I consumed, but didn't care at all about how many of those calories were from carbs, protein, etc. Now…
