logging it all. a rough estimate is better than no estimate. It doesn't matter what day it is, food is food is food. if you eat over, who cares? log it anyway.

New bicycle, macro lens for my camera, FitBit "The One", Gift Cert for clothes (first time ever asking for that - talk about feel good!)

Not food related but. My husband tried telling me when we first started living together that he was extremely allergic to cats. Rashy, itchy, swollen up, etc. However, I am a cat person and wanted a cat and so he decided to adopt one for me from a shelter. Then he got me a second cat for my birthday (I didn't ask for it!)…

My cousin was having issues with weight loss and decided to go gluten free, then decided to say that her weight loss failure was due to being allergic to gluten. I think there are a lot of "self diagnosed" food allergies out there. It's easier to blame an allergy for whatever is going on rather than blame yourself. So. I…

Your body won't break down your organs and body tissue before going through its fat stores - they are called STORES for a reason, your body will put those up on the front calorie burning lines the second it needs to. It'll just consume it at a slower speed and ya you will feel icky while doing so cause your body isn't…

Definitely all of the above except the starvation mode thing. I believe THAT nugget is a misnomer. Weight loss is a unique experience for everyone. What works for me isn't what is going to work for everyone. The keys to weight loss: Dedication, motivation, education, will power. Find yourself the motivation to get moving,…

You look like your own kid brother :) A hot kid brother :P What a fantastic accomplishment. Congrats to you, the work you invested definitely looks great!!

I suppose I understand your frustration with not losing weight quickly enough, but I would recommend you look at every aspect of your current plan before changing your calorie intake. Talk to a professional if you have access to one (dietitian for example,) and see if there are things you can change in what you are eating…

Eh, quit not having it doesn't mean you won't stop wanting it. I quit drinking soda almost 3 years ago (this coming New Years!) cause it was wrecking my teeth (I wasn't just drinking a can or two a day, though.) I crave the bubbly caramel colored beverage still. Not as much as I used to, by no means anywhere close to as…

Eh, you either trust him or you don't. I trust my husband, so if he posted in the "rate the person" thread, I would be more interested in the ppl who rated him and then grill him on how he'd rate me and then throttle him for the wrong answer :laugh: It is irrational for women to expect men not to look, or want to be looked…

Did the person in the first photo ever believe she could be the person in the last photo? When did you start *knowing* you had it in the bag and could move towards your goal with confidence? I think you look like an incredibly, amazingly different person. You can definitely see how much happier you are with yourself - just…

Wow, I thought I was the only one. Only for me it has to be a multiple of 5. Other weird things I do - Count backwards from 297 to get to sleep. Always 297. Gas pumping - the dollar amount or gas gallon qty has to be a whole number ($35, or 15g) no decimals. Yuck.

My dad is a wisecracker -if he had said that to me, I would have been like "Yep, so prepare to spend lots of money on my new clothes!" lmao! (of course thanks to me, my dad has decided to try losing weight himself, yay for him losing 30lbs already!) But - your dad IS right (sort of.) I think his point was poorly brought…

Both are cruel. B seems extreme if you really DO hate the person why be with them? A is just selfish. If you're going to dump me, or someone else- just be straight. Unless they are a difficult personality they are going to take the break up the same way you would. So treat them the same way you would want to be treated.

I have 2 slices of pizza once a week - with pizza it isn't the calories that mess ya up its the high sodium/water retention. I refuse to give up foods that I LOVE, like pizza. I've no idea if an entire "personal" size pizza is a good idea - youll have to figure that out for yourself. Perhaps half for supper on one night,…

My hubby is doing this with me whether he likes it or not, since Im the one doing all the shopping, cooking , and meal serving :laugh: There is plenty of other foods in the house if he is hungry, so he isn't limited per se, just not eating as much crap as he used to :happy:

If you Google search "beanless chili recipes" it will yield a ton of good options, this one looks good and comes in at about 200cals http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=23245

Unless medically instructed to, or nearly comatose with being sedentary I see no reason to try and exist on 1200 calories a day (especially if youre not going to be eating back exercise calories as one poster here mentioned.) I have never understood that mentality. Eat more = move more, why not just set a reasonable…

Oh my gosh, you look fantastic!! You look like some ravishing super model for some fashionable magazine. Go you!!! If thats what "36 to go" looks like , I can't wait til Im like you!! YOU ARE AWESOME!

Mayo, and the knock off salad dressing, anything made USING those 2 items. The smell alone make me vomit in my mouth. :noway: Cheesecake. I have no idea why it repulses me so, texture most likely but YACK. :noway: Banana flavored ANYTHING (excluding banana bread.) I yack at the taste of banana in anything other than banana…

PB cookies rock my socks. I have yet to find a recipe I like enough to adopt as my own, though. Good luck with your quest!

Hey kiddo - don't be so hard on yourself. You have every right to feel frustrated with the seeming lack of visible progress. I was RIGHT there with you 2 or 3 months ago. Everyone around me exclaimed about the differences THEY could see, but I couldn't see it, or feel it. I was still the same blah fatty fat me.. that is…

Getting is easy. Keeping is hard.

Less crust, more toppings. Thats my favorite kind of pizza :bigsmile: Havent ever had a "deep dish" style, but if it's all crust then forgeddaboudit.

This rant is old - would be funnier if rather than ranting someone provided a funny solution to the illiterate creatures. Or a practical one.

DaniD They aren't going out yet, a little "cart before the horse" thing going on there. :laugh: ETA: OP Im with the general consensus - jsut invite her out for another date, if shes interested she will want to see you again, if she isn't she won't. Pretty black and white. Im an overthinker too, but I definitely would jsut…

My mom's aunt died from stomach cancer, my uncle died from cancer, my mom had breast cancer - surgery and survived, I had to have minor laser surgery done to remove some pre-cancerous cells from my cervix after my 2nd child was born, another uncle of mine had a brain tumor.... Well, long story short, it's very thick in my…

I like suggestions for improvements, or being scolded for not enough water, missing a snack, in light hearted ways (I mean give me a break, Im an adult you dont get to yell at me.) I also like encouraging ppl by recommending lower cal options, or whatnot and have respectfully disagreed with choices made. Its, I suppose,…
