  • You can get a short nonfat no whip pumpkin spice with 1 pump of flavour for 90 cals.....or you could do like I do, get what you really want, enjoy the hell out of it and move on.
  • My best meal to blow calories on is home cooked. coffee ribs, bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers&beers. rack of ribs- 1040 cals jalapeno poppers-70 each beer-160ish per bottle
  • A million. I started in October 2008, at 231, with a goal of losing 91 pounds. Given up and got back up more times than I care to admit. Last summer I was at 80 pound lost, I felt fantastic, looked great, and yet I stopped, and I slid. Hard. Now I'm back, with 28 pounds to go, and I am hoping to make it to goal by year's…
  • My mother is quite similar, except that she is extremely messy and disorganised - a hoarder in denial. But bossy, controlling, manipulative and self-important, she certainly is. In any situation, even if it completely her own fault, she plays the victim- and people believe her. It was hard, but after 26 years of putting up…
  • Mine is set to 1600. With exercise I eat 1900-3000, depending on what kind of day it is. I am 5'7" 160 lbs
  • Iron and protein. I crave protein around 'that time', like I wake up in the morning and my body is freaking out like it desperately needs protein, so I will often have steak and eggs on those mornings, and I am usually ok the rest of the day. I avoid bread, chips, crackers and other such things during that time as I know I…
  • A school recently shut down in our city because there was a needle exchange put next to it. I don't deny that facilities are needed, but why right by a school?
  • I eat when I am hungry. When I eat has no bearing on my weight loss, it's much more to do with what I eat.
  • Food is not the enemy. Unless you are very short and slim, 1200 cals is probably not right for you. I started out with a lot to lose and at 200 lbs I could eat 2300+ and lose 1-2lb a week. More than that is not healthy. And why no fruit? Fruit sugars are also not bad, I don't count sugars at all as it has no bearing on my…
  • I'm in again! Lost 8 pounds in February and 5.4 in march, this group is great motivation. SW: 231 CW: 158.4 GW: 153.4 Weigh in Dates: 3/30 158.4 4/6 160.2 4/13 4/20 4/27 I weigh in on Saturdays. A bit of a gain, but I expected that since I lost 4.4 last week with no change to diet or routine. This week is a bit of a mess,…
  • Ours was adopted from a cat rescue. There weren't any details about where she came from or why se was rescued. She was only 9 months old but they were having a hard time finding a home since she wasn't a tiny baby anymore, but one look and I fell in love. She's been with us since October, and it's been great. Her name is…

  • Do what works for you. I am currently at 1600, and frequently a little over that. I'm losing around 5 pounds a month, I lift 3-4 times a week and go for a hike or bike ride when I feel like it. One more month at 1600, then I will got to 1850 as I will have only 10-15 pound to lose so I will require less of a deficit.
  • I drink it black, sometimes with a splash of milk. Unless I'm at Starbucks, then it's a grande nonfat no whip caramel macchiato. Everyone needs a treat sometimes.
  • Steak and cheese or chicken teriyaki on herb& cheese with white cheese. All the veggies except olives and jalapeños. Extra pickles and banana peppers. onion or southwest sauce. I get a footlong and get 2 meals out of it. Somewhere between 1000-1200 cals for one of those.
  • Black keys- all hands against his own Clapton- Layla Gaslight anthem- high lonesome, i'da called you woody joe
  • Every saturday morning, nekkid, after I pee. I measure monthly.
  • This is why Canadians stay in Canada. This is how we show our love for one another. This is poutine.
  • This may not exactly be your style, but here is my workout list Awolnation- kill your heroes, guilty filthy soul Black keys- all hands against his own, lonely boy, she said, set you free, gold on the ceiling Jack white- I'm shakin The white stripes- you're pretty good looking, hello operator, why can't you be nicer to me,…
  • i have a decent sized one along the right side of my head, I think I was 10 when I got it. I was getting a shoulder ride from my sister, and she ran into the bathroom and stopped suddenly, I fell off and smashed my head on the tap, 5 hours in emerg and a blood soaked beach towel later, I was the proud owner of 12 shiny…
  • I log almost everything before I eat it, that way I can see the impact and make better choices. Sometimes I decide to eat the extra 400 calories, but more often than not I decide to make a healthier choice.
  • My 4 year old eats upwards of 1000 for his 39 pounds and 3ft 5 inches. My 8 year old eats upwards of 1300 for her 58 pounds and 4 feet 4 inches. Yes, they are active, but still, I don't understand how adults can live off of less than that.
  • I get Lindt excellence dark bars, in whatever flavour I feel like. 50 calories for a good size square. I have 1 or 2, does the job.
  • My 65 pound goal was a tattoo consult, which is happening Saturday, and my final goal will see a finished shoulder and quarter sleeve which might evolve into a half. My small goals get more exercise equipment, like new shorts, a barbell, and this past week was an under armour bra, which was a spectacularly good investment.
  • Just remember that any change you make needs to be one you can stick to for life, otherwise it's very hard to stick with. I still have the 'bad' foods, just less of them. You don't have to eat things you don't enjoy, but it is good to try new things. A food scale is a great investment, along with measuring utensils. Good…
  • It's never too much to lose if you have the will and determination to do so. I get told that I've lost enough, I'm great how I am, but I am not done and I plan on being far more awesome than I am now. The BMi chart is a bit silly, I am 4 pound away from being in the 'normal' BMi category, but I am on the lower end of…
  • 1600 is my net goal. I can do up to 3000 on a heavier exercise day.
