It helps by making your wallet lighter. That's pretty much it.

Wait ... I like white wines ... Am I doomed?!?!

Because wine.

I'm going to eat some chocolate and then go to bed. Imma be supa pissed if the scale goes up (hint: it won't, because I ate below my calories today).

It's flinging weight off a string at high speeds. Duh.

Especially when said friend does like all the statuses. You KNOW they would figure it out...

Wut m8? All edges here or GTFO.

*pats the couch next to her* I'll even make some brownies!

Dude. I'm never working out with you at the gym again, I said that was my bad side.

*wanders off to put chicken and chipotles into the crockpot* Barbacoa is AMAZING. I did find a decent copycat recipe awhile back, but compared to the price of chicken I typically cannot justify getting beef often. :neutral: This may be totally unacceptable, but I think I'm going to shred cabbage to put in my taco tonight.…

I started my day by not logging ... I'm getting alllllll the taco fixings fo' sho'.

I have a failing thyroid (Hashimoto's) and PCOS and I've lost 50 pounds, so it's totally doable. First things first, you need to make sure your goal is appropriate for your stats (age, height, and current weight) and then make sure you are logging ALL your solid food with a scale and liquids in a measuring cup. Eyeballing…

Ah yes, the warped sense of what I should do for exercise that stemmed from years of reading Seventeen magazine followed by Cosmo and Glamor ... I'm going to have to buy some books on lifting just to counter any monthly magazine derp that might creep into my home since I have two daughters. Or go through it in Sharpie…

There are posts every single day by people who think that wrapping themselves up in a specially cut hunk of paper with goo on one side will make them lose inches with zero effort involved... If someone really thinks that's plausible do you really think they understand how their body actually functions? Not likely, and if…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/reports You can see your calories consumed over the last 7, 30, or 90 days on there.

I did the free 14 day trial. It's interesting, but I can see that trying to fine tune it will be a little time consuming.

Ooooh I'm checking this out! :D ETA they want my credit card info to do the trial. Bastages! >_<

I am up at 6am on weekdays and don't eat typically until my lunch break around noon. Sometimes I'll have a cheese stick as a snack to tide me over if I need to. Lunch is about 400-500 calories depending on what I pack. After I'm off work I have a Quest bar (about 4pm). Dinner is around 6pm, and snack after the kids are in…

I typically eat close to what it gives me back. Just depends on the day and how hungry I am.

It's likely water weight. Just up your water intake and give it a few days. It can take me a whole week to reverse the damage done by one night of eating out when it comes to sodium.

If I have to then I will. I'd rather count calories for the rest of my life than end up at 204 pounds again.

Congrats on beating cancer! I'm 34 and started losing weight to avoid ending up diabetic. Perhaps I should have treated my body better when I was in my 20's, but it is what it is. Making a change is always a good thing regardless of your age. Good luck!

Unless you're really short, 1270 seems a little low for a 24 year old woman with only 25 pounds to lose. I've frequently seen people use the phrase "the winner is the one who can eat the most and still lose weight".

I'm 5'6" and when I was 18 I was 135 and was a size 6/8 depending on the brand. That was in 1999. Now I wear size 8 pretty easily (and some of them are almost too large) at 145-150, so I'm going to assume that sizing has really been screwed up in the last 16 years.

Having had to do full cleanses out of medical necessity (colonoscopy and pre-op for a partial colectomy) I cannot fathom why someone would want to do this on purpose. It's miserable. The only reason I do it is so I can make sure I don't have colon cancer. :|
