a tiny pizza made w/ a small pita (80 calories), 1 tablespoon of sauce (25 calories), and 1 low fat strong cheese (70 calories), usually takes the edge off.

you are definitely fat. ;) (just kidding).

i call BS on the entire list.

great job

great job!! how did you do it ? exercise/diet etc?

wow - I wish random women would hit on me at the gym and ask if I'm married....I suppose that will only happen in the bizzaro world though....where my evil doppelganger has a goatee and all the ladies love him....

I once had a guy come stand next to me at the urinal and, as he was doing his business, started trying to chat me up (and not just "hey what's up" but like "HEY MAN!! HOW ARE YOU DOING!! WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!) .....I tried to ignore him but finally had to say I want to pee in silence, after which he…

sounds like you are working out at one of those macho gyms from the 70's where everyone is super "pumped" (also sounds like you are being hit on probably). I would try to find another gym with lest testosterone-heads.

I think its hard to see change in yourself because you are used to yourself. easier for other people to see it (particularly those you don't see everyday). Also, I think your general shape stays approx the same all the way down til the end. For example, if you have a belly and slightly thinner legs, chest, then each area…

I hear ya man - I've just stopped talking about it on the threads (or in public) except w/ other veg-heads.....many meat eaters try to attack you like all get out.

great job!!

I'm with you in spirit. Basically - you need to indulge in the full burger and fries once a week as a cheat. There's no substitute for french fries, I'm sorry to say. Mashed cauliflower might pass for mashed potatoes, and air-popped popcorn might satisfy the need for a crunchy potato chip, but french fries are really a…

hmm... I don't hold on cuz I need to - it just feel natural (I hold onto the top)...but most of the time I'm running and can't hold onto nothing. I wonder how bad is it really?

I'm a fruit-o-holic, and in my gut I know that eating fruit is fantastic. But, but...but....I recently gave up fruit while I'm trying to lose weight - I did it while re-examinging my diet/routine, and I thought it would be worth a try to see if it helped (someone had called fruit the candy of the vegetable world...which…

great story!!! I also hope to post a before and after victory story - maybe as soon as this summer! thanks for blazing the trail!! :)

I'm a veggie, not vegan. My diet is full of contradictions I'm sure, but I"m not sure why you are being so "militant" about it? Your vitriolic attitude is why all the meat-eaters hate us? Do you believe there is some higher law that says meat eating is wrong? If there is, no one has delivered it yet. Which makes one's diet…

amazing job - what a difference!!

good luck!! I think many find the scale daunting, but personally I haven't been able to remain accountable w/o seeing the number every morning. so it definitely helps me, but if you have the right mindset, you should go far w/o knowing. good luck!!

great problem to have. I remember when I had an interview and hadn't worn the suit otherwise in like 6 months...and was joyouse but distressed to find that the slacks were so loose that it looked like a bag cinched around my waste...I hi it under the suit top but I'm sure it was ridiculous - but the whole day I was…

well done!!!

I wish you luck! also, not sure why people post future goals in the "Success Stories" forum as opposed to "General Help Motivation"?

I think we are all just over-lawyering this. you can define "plateau" to be either real or un-real, so I think this is just semantics. do people stop losing weight (stop making advances)? yes. Is there a reason for it? yes, and the answer is usually some component of not pushing yourself hard enough (in line w/ your…

agree whole heartily - its part of the process though if you have lots of weight to lose....

diet soda, long term affects aside, helps you avoid caloric food

do you guys do lifting and cardio on the same day? one after the other or split up like morning/evening? also, how intense is the weights session?

truly remarkable!!!

fantastic job!!

very touching story - thank you!

fee free to add me - friends help friends as they say!

I'm in (Kansas City and New York/New Jersey, whichever works out)!!
