250-400 It depends on what I have. Oatmeal, yogurt and fruit, peanut butter toast and cereal are lower cal. A homemade quiche (even with turkey bacon, fat free evaporated milk and a small amount of cheese) is higher cal, as is scrambled eggs and such. If I know I am going to be working out ... or just working a lot, I'll…

Check menus online. Try to build a walk into your day -- if you are in a city, then take a minute to explore. If you have time, your hotel probably will have a fitness center. If you know that you will have a diet-buster meal, compensate by being SUPER healthy on the other meals. Breakfast is a great place to "save"…

Yes, which is your decision for your personal autonomous body. I am here to aid in engaging in a healthy lifestyle. I am aiming to lose weight at this time, but my main purpose to to help myself eat nutritious, well rounded meals, move my body in a way that is fun and healthful and really learn to listen to my body and…

I'm tired and wasn't going to go into EDNOs and all of the new classifications recently made by the APA, so thanks.

That response is refreshing.

There ARE people in this thread who HAVE blasted off about health insurance - which falls under workplace discrimination for many Americans - why should my or your benefit package be different from our peers? I think the key to advocating and protecting a lifestyle is that we are advocating and protecting personal choice…

But when people start talking about insurance, rights and accessibility of services, the cut-off could well be the clinical definition of obese, or even overweight, it COULD be morbidly obese, but there is no way to know until it happens, which is why there is a movement to prevent such things from happening. Canada has…

As with other movements that I participate in on some level (animal rights and rescue, women's rights), groups I maintain membership to NEA (teacher's union), I DO support the overall message AND mission, while not necessarily every single objective, statement or faction. I COULD go through and copy and paste what I do and…

Grrr. Internet issues ate this post, so I am trying again. The Fat Acceptance movement is more than the NAAFA. There is a community of people, bloggers, tumblr, with various focuses, operating at various levels of extreme (as in with many communities... animal rights, environmental rights). Many of those blogs offer a…

This was not my first introduction to Fat Acceptance. This site was my first introduction: http://kateharding.net/ This blog post changed my life: http://kateharding.net/2007/11/27/the-fantasy-of-being-thin/ How you ask? After dieting (yo-yo-ing.. really BAD dieting. Pills. Laxatives. Occasional purging. Days of lettuce).…

I had a Kid Sister doll when I was a kid (they don't talk). BUT I snuck and watch a Chuckie movie with my older cousins (actually, a cousin who was my age and I watched from the stairs), then I was chronically afraid of Kid Sister (who looks like a girl Chuckie). My Dad kept trying to convince me he could keep her away…

If you do, maintain it! I used to have a guy friend in college who was a body builder and he was chronically prickly. Didn't much like cuddling with a cactus while we watched movies.....

I agree. It is MY CHOICE to lose weight right now. If I didn't, I'm still the same person. I know that obesity has many negative health correlations, but some people engage in other behaviors which have equally negative health correlations with no external evidence of that. My parents eat the same way. My mom is obese, my…

I like Ezekial Sesame ... BUT if the cals are the issue, Arnold Whole Grain Sandwich thins are good... Quinoa (I'm sure that's spelled wrong), is DELICIOUS and super healthy. I also like brown basmati rice a lot. I consider sweet potatoes a good, nutrient rich way to "spend" my carbs. I've learned to love a good whole…

Maybe I'm strange... but it doesn't creep me out. They are good intentioned...

You look great! Thanks for sharing... I'm (almost) 5'5 and started at 185, aiming for 155 (thinking maybe more like 150 for BMI purposes)... this gave me great encouragement!

Think of some simple, familiar, healthy foods. (For me, oatmeal, peanut butter toast, scrambled egg, PB&J, canned chicken, and stars soup, tomato soup, strawberries, yogurt, salads - takeout - from a restaurant I used to work at that is just a block or two away). Schedule when you are going to eat, and eat a small quantity…

I have almost dropped a pants size.... one size is baggy, the other size is a bit tight (and the pants are the same brand), I've dropped 2 or 3 shirt sizes (XL or L to a pretty consistent M). I feel your pain. I'm not really shocked... I was 20-25 lbs thinner than I am now, and really, I rarely get below a size 10 jeans.…

Lean ground beef or steaks, put in a foil packet with onion, mushshrooms and a beef bouillon cube. Serve with baked potatoes that you cook in the fire. If you wanted to be healthier, you could do a veggie with it instead. Zuchini and onions in a cast iron skillet is super easy and tasty. Oatmeal for breakfast.... Get some…

I count corn as a grain when I am cooking meals... and it is TASTY. Had some grilled on the cob last night.... with zuchini as the vegetable in that meal (grass fed steak as the protein). I see nothing wrong with eating corn, as long as it fits into your goals. I believe the recommended serving is 1/2 cup, though.

Premium Ice Cream... However, Magnum minis and single serve Ben and Jerry's have helped me master this beast. I have ice cream 3 or 4 times a week, to the tune of 150-180 cals. So... chips and french onion dip. I just don't buy it. At all. Ever.
-
I think they are saying the oils in the grains go rancid? I read that somewhere else.... not sure. Edited to say ... just bought some Multi Grain Cheerio's anyway, since they are MY FAVORITE!

I like milk (whole, raw, from the farm... YUM), or coconut milk. I usually buy the coconut milk to cook Thai food (my husband LOVES it and we live in a small town with no Thai restaurants) but use what is left on cereal or in my coffee. As a bonus, the coconut milk I normally buy is fortified with a lot of calcium and…
-
I do... but then I look at mine and it looks very odd. I get our meat, cheese, milk, eggs, nut butters and quite a few veggies from a CSA, so my cart tends to be a random hodgepodge of supplementary veggies, grains of various sorts, granola bars, dessert items and some snacks - chips and such. I only go to the grocery…

Awesome, such great motivation!

I eat oatmeal quite a bit.... I do occasionally have boxed cereal if I want it, but not nearly as often as I used to.

From Daria's Wikipedia: Daria Morgendorffer, the series' eponymous protagonist, first appeared on MTV as a recurring character in Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-head. MTV senior vice president and creative director Abby Terkuhle explained that when that show "became successful, we ... created Daria's character because we…

I may or may not enjoy some occasional Beavis and Butthead. I most certainly enjoy King of the Hill (said in a whisper) (hides head in shame). :embarassed: Shhhh... I'm a middle school teacher, we aren't supposed to think things are funny.

I log. I post. I work out. I a super sarcastic sometimes. I can't BELIEVE I just responded to this.:noway: My Daria side DOES NOT approve. I'm not sure how old you are, so here is a Wikipedia entry describing Daria, who is my kindred spirit.:huh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daria
