Astronaut food and puny portions. NO THANKS!!!

Thanks, everyone!

So much of what you say is true. Having been picked on as a child for being overweight, I know the pain it can cause and as a result I believe I am a more sensitive and compassionate person because of it.

Hey DD, Let's start with the basics: DIET: I cut out soda and fruit juices and basically just stopped DRINKING my calories. That change alone can yield significant results over time. SUGAR is the enemy. I cut out junk food (except for the occasional treat), and snacking between meals. I exercised portion control. I eat…

Fantastic, bro! Congratulations!

Quit whining and feeling sorry for yourself. It's pathetic. Excuses are for the weak. Own your decisions and start making better ones. Can't use the pool - boo hoo! Like that's the only form of exercise? p.s. I know I came across as a bit harsh, but sometimes we all need a good kick in the *kitten*.

Also, you have to listen to your body. My daily goal is NET 1800 calories, but if I genuinely feel hungry, I eat something. Your body knows what it needs.

I thought mine was rather low as well. Go by your BMR and Harris Benedict formula. It makes more sense. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/
