Ooh-bi-doo, I wanna be like you...

It still depends a lot on body comp, activity level etc. I've lost 100 lbs and currently am eating about 2800 kcal per day. Can't say how much a person with similar stats who's never been overweight has, but if not for a high activity level, I would doubt they'd be maintaining at that.

Maybe, if he had a head...

They have all the best apparatus.

Yes, yes it is... I believe we have this machine at our gym, right between the treadmill and the stationary.

I'm 5'10" and my realistic goal weight used to be 165 lbs, but in dreamland I wanted to be at my highschool weight of 138. The only problem was that my real highschool weight was 152, I just remembered it wrongly because I FELT skinny. I finally got down to 140, stopped there when my friends and relatives were getting a…

... You think about what to eat next... while you're eating.

I had a Big Mac yesterday after a long, long time. I kept thinking about it so I thought I could have one just this time. I thought I would love the taste, that it would remind me of my old eating habits, and that I would also feel guilty afterwards. Funny thing - it didn't taste as good as I had remembered, and I asked…

Calorie deficit = weight loss, but watch out Not all fats are created equal..

It looks like you are having protein with most meals, but very little in quantity -3 to 6 oz is not a lot. By the looks of it, you simply prefer veggies over meat. So how about some higher protein beans/seeds? There's quinoa, chia, lentils, etc. You can make a quiche with all your favorite veggies, beans (the darker the…

@dolliesdaughter - Boss chick - I like that :)

I think that you just have to remember everyday, why you're doing it. There is no magic answer... Too many people think about reaching the goal, but a lot of us forget why we have set it in the first place. And truth be told, we don't need anyone or anything special to do it. Not even MFP. We don't need gym buddies, weight…

If you have gym anxiety, best thing to do is talk and laugh loudly, and make sure everyone sees what you're doing. This way they will all think you're misusing the equipment on purpose.

Toxic people... I need a cure for that. Badly

If a cop pulls you over and asks for your license, give them a pocket mirror and then drive away. They'll think you're a cop too.

... I take supplements that I know won't have any effect, just because I got them for free.

Baked apple with fat free cream cheese, vanilla and a touch of cinnamon

Would have preferred an even number.

No way. I'd be distracted by that beautiful smile
