It's outdated misinformation is all. I eat right before bed, it hasn't hurt me one bit, as a matter of fact it's 12:10 and I'm about to eat in a little bit then go to sleep.

This!!!!^^^^ I hated being a fat guy....I was depressed. And then one day someone gave me the help and encouragement I needed. He saved my life, and all he did was take me running.

I'm guilty of number 3 lol, but I do portion out my snacks for the game/tv program I intend on watching and pew log them so I know I can eat the amount in front of me lol

I have full confidence that you will be able to take the weight off. And posting here for support was a huge step in that process. Just keep on tracking your calories, and get in some exercise whenever possible and you will be well on your way!!! I never had type 2 diabetes. But I suspect at my highest weight I may have…

No crushes at all right now. I am going to a party Friday night. Wouldn't mind meeting a girl :) as far as fictional characters, I always thought that chick from "new girl" was really cute. And robin from how I met your mother. Also dexters sister from the show dexter is cute too. Wow I just noticed I have sorta a brunette…

Sometimes people will tell me I look great and in my head I'm thinking "I've got a long way to go and I'm not pleased with my physical appearance.) it's not a "fake" compliment fishing type thing....it's how I really feel. Perhaps just because you think someone looks great or good or whatever, doesn't mean that they think…

I'm weird and find popcorn tasty with a hot sauce called tapitillo... It's amazing tho lol

I used to be exactly like that. I could have written that 9 months ago. I noticed that that was becoming a problem. And a serious one. I quit drinking. I will not lie, it cost me many friends. But gave me back my life. I could go all week without a drink just fine...the Friday night would roll around and I'd start getting…

Someone once said to me "what's one thing you would do, if I told you you couldn't fail."

If you live in a first world country you won't ever be in starvation mode.

Haha!!! You sound like my trainer!!!! His favorite line is "there's no such thing as overtraining, just under eating." Lol

In that case just tell the people in the hospital you are married and go visit them. They will not ask for your marriage certificate. Problem solved.

Lifting is more important in terms of looking better. If you have a good diet plan and stick to it cardio will do nothing for you that eating at a deficit will do. Burn 600 cals running just to eat them back? No thanks. Lol. Lift hard for an hour and feel your body change over this journey? Sign me up. Just my 2 cents.

I was scared to up mine. But I did, slowly going from 1850 to 2120 in about a month. I was at a standstill for a little while and questioned my decision to up my cals. Now it's coming off again :) slower (as can be expected) but see as I'm only a few hundred from maintain it will be easier to make the switch over I think.…

I have no desire to get married anytime in my 20's or early 30's. so that puts me at least 10 years out lol I don't even want a long term relationship right now. I have a few job offers that will require me to move halfway across the country or all the way across sometime in the next few years, so if a girl is looking for…

Love this post, I told myself "just make it to July 1st and see what kind of progress you can make" I made a huge amount in those 7 1/2 months. I kept going (of course) and now I am getting close to my goal. Will I be done? No. I already have my next goal in mind after I take off the weight ;) fitness is not a destination,…

I like to weigh on Monday morning to keep myself accountable for what I did over the weekend. Sometimes it helps me learn from mistakes, like if I over do it at a BBQ for a football game I know that I will not see a loss...helps me keep out of the chips and salsa lol and have some pop corn while watching the game

I have my eye on this E.T. Gift set from Walmart. It's only 20 dollars but Unfortunately right now times are tough and I can't seem to scrape enough together to get it, between bills, food, and rent, I have been lucky to have gotten a bike recently so I don't have to spend money on gas :) and I get a little exercise extra…

My mom used to call me "big boy" I don't know why but that one was painful. Now she has to eat those words everytime she sees me.

I've lost 92 so far (85 of them on mfp) I started just running with my trainer. Then after about 30 lbs I think I joined a gym and started lifting, alternating cardio and lifting days. I found a passion for lifting and have done that primarily for the last 30 or so lbs, eventually cutting cardio out completely. (Except for…

Sounds really good!!!! I'm a horrible cook but you made it sound really simple so I think I may try it :) maybe add in a few jalapeños because it like my chili a little hot. Thanks!!!!

To be honest, frustrated and upset a bit. Now I don't answer blocked calls because I know it's work trying to call me in ;) I also turn my phone completely off when I'm at the gym, not just silent.

Tell her to just stick with it for a few weeks and see if it starts working before making any changes. Also, if I stay about the same for a week the chances of a decent loss the next week increase I've noticed :)

My rule is: earn it. If I want to eat more cals, I need to burn more cals simple as that :) otherwise if it hits my macros and cal goal it's fine.

I don't always eat cereal, but when I do I prefer lucky charms.

That's not true. My best friend is an emt and he said he's never once looked at a drivers lisence. And we do list them in our state. The guy was prolly just being a jerk.

^^^this. I have dropped 92 lbs and eat 4 slices of bread a day. Every workday. It fits in my macros just fine.

A lot of rich people are tight wads with their money. How does a ritch person who doesn't like to spend money have an advantage over a normal person?

My cal goal is 2100 and I usually eat 4-5 times a day (not including protein shakes)

I love that that place has great options!!! I usually get the streak and shrimp off the 550 cals section. Doesn't even feel like I'm on a diet because I'm eating steak and shrimp haha :)
