I feel your pain and I was wondering this too. Last night I warmed up on the treadmill and then did my leg routine. I was there for an hour and a half. Today is upper body and that tends to take even longer. It seems like I spend my whole evening at the gym. I go four days a week, my only thought is to start going 6 days a…

I buy these $8.00 Panasonic headphones on amazon. They are the best ones I've ever had. They fit really nice in my ear and the sound quality is great. Plus I lose headphones all the time so $8.00 is perfect for me.

I am blown away. Great job and thank you for inspiring so many others!

I love cottage cheese for lunch. You can always precook chicken for the week and keep it stored in the fridge. Hard boiled eggs are great and I always keep an apple or banana around so I have something extra. Tuna is super easy. You can cut up a bunch of veggies and bring that. If you have a crockpot you can find a couple…

Till I Collapse. It gets me going!

Portland here!

Taping myself is a great idea! Never would have thought of that, thanks!

Thank you to everyone! This is extremely helpful and makes me feel a lot better about getting in there. There are some great ideas here. I really appreciate your help!

Honestly I'd be scared to know. There were a few days a week where I would eat out for EVERY meal. Yikes.

Chicken, vegetables and fruit! That is all I really need to get by.

Thanks for the reply. I log EVERYTHING that I consume, even gum. I also have a food scale and use it religiously. I was stalled for a little over a month. My weight would not budge. I started at 230 and am now at 206.4. My work out schedule could play a part. Sometimes I work out hard 4 days a week, sometimes its only…

I am down 23 pounds with 42 more to go. This site has been awesome. How much more do you want to lose? Good luck!

Wow you guys are awesome! You all are inspiring me. Getting up before I "have" to has seemed impossible but I'm giving it a shot tomorrow. I often plan evening workouts only to get home and not have the energy. I'm excited to get this going, thanks to you all!

Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right - Henry Ford You absolutely can do it, believe in yourself and believe in the process. Patience is key and it took me a long time to learn it. Good luck!

I have struggled with it for a long time. Any signs of sadness, anger, frustration etc. and I turn to food as a quick distraction. I recently picked up boxing and it has changed everything for me. It allows me release any mental negativity meanwhile exhausting my body. I've become quickly obsessed with it. I would suggest…

I'm really sorry that you're going through this. My only advice would be to do it for YOURSELF. Not for him, not for revenge etc. Do a little soul searching and find out what you really want. Then make a plan and do it. As always it's easier said than done but you are capable of making whatever changes you want. This is my…

I usually have something good like that on Sundays. One day a week isn't too bad. But I also love getting pumpkin flavored creamer for my coffee. You can measure it out and the calories aren't that bad. I like to have mine with homemade pumpkin muffins... Mmm I cant wait for fall to be here!

Well then what's the point of this thread? I'm giving my opinion on how I feel being an only child affected me. If we're talking guarantee's, nothing is guaranteed. A million other things affect every one of us so unless we're getting into science and DNA type stuff there's no telling what's actually caused what.

I am an only child and have always hated it. It's always been just me and my mom. She had to work a lot. I did have a babysitter but aside from that I was very lonely. Toys can only make you so happy when there's no one to share them with. I didn't do very well interacting with others, I was and still am extremely…

I know exactly what you mean! There's no way I could have just ONE tiny serving. I had to cut it out completely except for rare occasions.

I thought this thread was going to be about frozen fruits and veggies... Oops.

I'm still in the beginning stages of my weight loss and for right now I need cheat days. I too love food and constantly get cravings for cake, burgers etc. If I just want a little something like a brownie or coke I will make sure to fit it in my calories. But, if I want something and know it's going to be way over what I'm…

Please dont call. I find this ridiculous. If you were the biggest one there, then I think you should do the harder work. I highly doubt anyone meant any offense. Some people are better built for certain jobs than others. You were there to help them with what they needed, not the other way around. Be happy that you were…

I'd love some ideas too! Lunch is always the worst meal for me because I dont know what to eat and I dont have a lot of time.

I total the calories for the entire meal before I divide it up. So if my casserole has 2000 total calories and I'm going to eat 1/4th of it, then I estimate my portion at about 500 calories. This is of course approximate, but it works really well for me!

I'm glad you posted this! YES I have had major changes. I started 4 days late this month. Almost had a panic attack because I've never been late! A few people around me mentioned it is likely change in diet/exercise. My cramps have gotten worse as well. Not sure why, but overall things have definitely been changing.
