I had this EXACT same problem. Husband had lost a considerable amount of weight since I met him/we married but he still was morbidly obese with terrible habits and from time to time it would come up in conversation randomly but he never did much to change it. Finally a little ago I had a big juvenile freak out and was just…

I agree but if OP is just starting out she has the benefit of it maybe being a little easier at the beginning. It's almost 5 weeks away so that's just about 2 a week. However with only 60 to lose I'd agree 2 a week is an aggressive goal, especially as you drop weight. My 2 cents is if this is going to motivate you and you…

I have a friend who recently got it done and while she has had success losing weight it has come at a cost as well. She often gets sick if she eats the wrong thing, etc. I think if you are about to die if you don't do it, it is an option, but only after all other things fail. It sounds like you had success before following…

That's weird, I closed out yesterday at 1,018 (I was soooooo tired I fell asleep before I could finish eating LOL!! It's ok I had a 3,000+ day the day before so not like I am starving myself) and it didn't yell at me. I guess it lets the ladies by with lower amounts? Or are you actually NETTING less than 1200 calories?…

because you don't lose weight immediately. The day you have a 1000 calorie deficit you don't necessarily lose almost 1/3 a pound of fat immediately on that day necessarily. Plus the scale shows things differently depending on water, TOM etc. A few weeks ago I was constant then the morning after I ate 3,200 calories I…

Check their rules they will disqualify you if you lose too much too fast but IIRC the upper limit is quite high. I don't have kids but seems to me some places have raised the license age limit and I wonder about that sometimes. I took drivers ed right after I turned 15 and so started driving at 15, got my license right…

Well.... on the plus side I guess you have 100% control over the ingredients that go into your cooking. You sound a bit overwhelmed. Don't worry, counting calories take extremely little time, though it does likely need a bit of planning. The good news is it takes literally seconds to put something on a scale to see how…
-
If your goal is to lose weight I am not sure what the problem is with having no appetite? If you got to be obese eating very low calories and/or are eating very low calories now and not losing go see a Dr. and get bloodwork checked. If you are eating too little and losing weight as you'd expect go seek out a school mental…

There is a brand of drinks Skinny Girl Margarita. It's just lower proof alcohol so I think kind of silly. Just drink half a regular actual margarita and you get the same alcohol (a nice one, avoid the icky cheapo mixers) OP if you are talking about the brand you can ask if they carry it. I don't think that would get you…

I don't care about tracking sodium so that is not an issue, but what I do with olive oil is include the total amount added, and don't worry about what sticks to the pan. That way my calorie count is on the high side. I also don't try to eat 1200 calories a day so if my estimates are high then all the better for me (I am…

sounds like you know how to do Vegas. And thanks sofaking6! Seems everything takes a while to walk to in Vegas- it all looks so close! (also continued thanks for everyone's comments :) )
-
I had to "estimate" calories today (read: completely guess what was in what I ate and how much it was) and historically that used to make me feel like just giving up and eating all the foods and not bothering to try to log- why not, the day was already "ruined". But today I just guessed as best I could and pretty much only…
-
I got myself updated, had to make a login but that wasn't a big deal. I found my progress was faster than I expected so I changed my goal back to my original goal of 207! I am still above 30% of the way to that goal- hooray! Best of luck all in your continued efforts. I will likely miss the 11/1 weigh in due to not having…
-
OMG you too! I lose a s***-ton of weight drinking. It's like freakin' magic.
-
LOL I only wish I was lucky enough that I could rid myself of said ugly article of clothing by the giver moving away. Damn family! I have to keep seeing them no matter where I (or they) go! And TBH, my "ugly article" is actually a damn near wardrobe of hideous gifted clothing items. Gotta love the family though. They mean…
-
Good on you for being so close to just being "overweight" not "obese"- oh how I look forward to getting there!! For what it's worth, my TOM weight "gains" are a total PITA and tend to last from a few days before until almost the end/a week into. If you are sure your weighing of solids/measuring of liquids is accurate just…
-
I love my Graze boxes! I made it so it only came once a month and made my selections so they were only the things that were what would have been more expensive for me to recreate on my own and/or only things that were low calorie. I use them for my car-snacks (things I tote around with me in case I get stuck in transit and…
-
Fair enough viewpoint, but you have to admit it's a bit bothersome when people show up and ask absolutely asinine questions that could easily be resolved if they spent all of 10 minutes reading the stickies. Or really, ANY information about nutrition/weightloss, etc. A lot of people here have spent a lot of time…
-
Can you slow stroll for a few hours? I don't do any exercise that feels like it calls for exertion either right now but I do do a lot of "activity" that expends calories. Best of luck in your efforts! And don't be discouraged! You could have 100 lbs to lose to get to even being "overweight" instead of "obese" like a lot of…
-
Forgive me as I am loathe to respond without reading all responses prior, you are so close to where I just was/am (height/weight) though you are a bit younger, but we are so close in stats I wanted to answer just to your OP- I had an off start due to "monthly" weight fluctuations that apparently can affect me for even more…
-
Yes what she said! Heck I lose on 1900 a day with NO exercise. It's slow but it happens and it's a heck of a lot easier than torturing myself. Also DON'T watch any TV show related to weight loss and compare yourself. Just don't! In fact don't compare yourself to anyone else period. Focus on becoming expert at accurately…

Do you think it'd be safe to walk there from Stratosphere? I have an odd phobiaish thing that makes me prefer to avoid cabs/Uber/Lyft, especially in Vegas. Same problem with the bus.
-
since I am practically in tears even thinking about the crickets I am going to have to take door number 2 HA!
-
I was laughing because that place is so amazing that people keep mentioning it. I totally believe you! I forget what show I saw it on but have wanted to try it out ever since.
-
yes LOL. But as I pointed out it's all comped so it's free. But yes otherwise I'd totally agree with you! so far I have 6 votes for steak 6 for salmon and... 2 for Lotus of Siam LOL!!!!
-
Petulance and stubbornness perhaps? I'm wondering if the water I drink while I am eating doesn't count either then, since mixing it in with other stuff apparently destroys water? OP I would agree with everyone who says drink it if you like it but if you aren't enjoying it it probably isn't worth the calories in the sugar.
-
EEK!! Why would you destroy perfectly delicious bacon like that?!?! Oh who am I kidding, it'd probably taste delicious. Sadly I'm like shai74 and while I can enjoy eating super sweet things my tummy tends to feel queasy afterwards, so I can only have a bite or 2 unless I want to feel icky. Boooo! So yeah, I'd rather have…
-
well you aren't going to see the same transformation with 10 lbs as you will with 100, but good job all the same! You can see a difference in the pics, in your middle and your arms too!
-
Yes the food in Vegas is spectacular! I find even the chain-y type restaurants and the little casino cafes to be very good relative to such places elsewhere. I agree this place is very similar to a glorified applebees/fridays/chilis. But it's all good, it'll all be comped. And this won't be the only salt bomb but point…

I have a small addiction to Wasa crispbread. My current package is the fiber kind but there are other good ones too. Some of them are too thick for my liking though. Mmmm crispbread with tuna salad on top. So yummy!
