Move more. Eat less.

I <3 The Food Porn Thread.

I know. People are like Chocolate Brownie this and Chocolate Brownie that but Double Chocolate Chunk... whoa!

Stuff that has no nutritonal value. I don't really limit per diet per se but I try to eat healthy, just not calorie-wise but content-wise.

I approve of your goal :D

Did it for 100 days starting 1/1/14 and stopped binge eating. Dropped 20 lbs or so in 3 months or so. Then got hit by a car and started binging again and because I had "proved" to myself that I could stop binge eating once, did it again without having to go SF. One of the best things I've ever done in my life, the…

I had 3 today and I have 74 of them downstairs.

Mine's 35-40. I even have a bracelet ID that says RHR is 40's-50's (need to update it I guess) so that doctors don't freak out. That's why triathletes prefer to go to doctors who are also athletes.

"How did you lose the weight?" "Ate right and exercised." "Oh."

Yeah your goals definitely change as you get skinnier and skinnier.

I got the lowest BMI before being underweight (107.5 lbs for 5'4") and go as skinny as I want without going under. I have been 112 lbs and I'm 119 lbs. I feel best at 115-117 lbs.

MFP puts in a percentage so if it says 40 it's 40% not grams, and it goes off the daily recommended value for most adults of 1200mg of calcium, so 50% would be 600mg for the day.

OMG. I look right now like you looked on the left. I think you just convinved me to get the skin nipped off (and I flap while I run and I run a lot... seriously if you run next to me you can hear flap flap flap flap).

I've NEVER cut carbs (and I do endurance sports, triathlons, etc, which run on carbs) and I've lost 111 lbs.

Any hard liquor (rum, vodka, whiskey, etc., avoid things like "coconut" etc.) and diet soda will run you 100-200 cals per 2 oz. The food you will consume while drunk will run you 2000-3000. Go with clear liquor and diet soda.

-1 :(

I have gained weight while training for a full Ironman and binging (~10 lbs) and I have lost weight bed-bound after being hit by a car.

Before I lost 109 lbs I couldn't find clothing in most stores that fit me. Now I STILL have trouble finding clothes that fit me in most stores :\

5'4" SW: 230 lbs CW: 121.5 lbs LW: 112 lbs LHW (Lowest Healthy weight (for height)): 107.5 WIFBA (weight I felt best at): 115-117 lbs GW: ????? (no idea)

Eh, I'm secure enough in my knowledge not to let a LOLZZOMG get me into a tizzy :) I guess we will all keep doing what works for us. Yours in health. P.S. I do have a lot of knowledge and experience in this area if anyone wants to know more or learn more.

You do realize it's not the same sugar and it has a completely different effect on the body, right?

I stopped binge-eating when I went sugar-free on 1/1/14. Then I got hit by a car on 5/3/14 after not binging all year and used binging to get me through it and went sugar-free to stop binging again. Going sugar-free for a handful again resets me into non-binging mode. I also lost weight like crazy, it melted right off…

Eh, maybe I would have learned something if I had finished it but I stopped pretty early on when that video showed a link to a fat loss pill website and the website has one of his videos on their main page.

Uhm, I call B.S. that the average person burns 280 cals in an hour of cardio. When I was obese I burned 700-800 cals an hour doing Zumba. Now I do 300-350 because I'm not that tall or wide. And I don't "need" to lose weight, I lean out towards races at 117-118 lbs at 5'4". Anyone who needs to lose weight will burn plenty…

I lost over 100 lbs with Spin, TurboKick, and Zumba, and I did it at 230 lbs 5'4" which is very obese :shrug:

Uhm, cardio burns tons of calories. Well, at least the way *I* do it.

I do this when I want to lose weight to get from normal weight to race weight (triathlons) but I'm not in a hurry. Eat 1500 cals a day which is what I burn at rest and the exercise (swim/bike/run training) and weights leans me out.

I wonder if the GW changes as you lose weight. Anyone else around 120lbs out there? :) I've been as low as 112 lbs (107.5 lbs is the lowest with a healthy BMI). I know at 121.5 lbs I still feel a few lbs on me. Around 117 lbs I feel long and lean.

5'4", 230 lbs to a current 121.5 lbs, over five years since I lost the weight. I don't have cheat. I love what I eat so much I don't need to cheat on it.
