We have the same issue. We've even moved to a small snack after work, followed by a mug of decaf. Then we have dinner. Then more decaf. It's probably unhealthy, but it's working for now while we're will-power deficient.

Here's what works for us: -Brush your teeth after dinner -Drink a ton of water -DECAF COFFEE!! -Tea -Watching "My 600-lb. Life"

You guys who do these "Blah blah blah poster above you" threads, why don't you guys just write a short story or something? It sounds like you want to be creative.

I'll raise a glass: to much fiber! The reason my life is so *kitten*.

Why don't you just quote some studies or snopes or something on how those things are myths? It's hard to argue facts (cue 14-page debate about providing vetted sources and whatnot). Anyway, you can always do yours and he can always do his. Better yet, make it a competition. Whoever loses more weight or gets in shape faster…

[/quote] You make a good point. I used to use just regular Olive oil when frying or cooking my food but I cut out a lot of the unnecessary calories by switching to Canola oil spray. Exercise and increasing my daily activity has definitely helped with expanding my calorie budget, plus keeping busy during the day means I…

I wish I could present something new, but previous posts are awesome and are nailing it. In the validation department: this stuff IS hard. Not for all of us, but it's a bear and a half for me. I've gone from 275 in college to 178 for my wedding and, five years and two kids later, I'm at 230. Maybe not the best person to…

I think the hardest thing for me would be basically accepting that my tastes were my meals for the day. Those are impossible to track, but I don't know if my current self would be cool eating the leftover scraps or whatever, as I'd probably had more than enough through tasting. That, and you probably want to get yourself…

My relationship with alcohol sucks. It always takes 2-3 weeks of screwing around and getting it all wrong (when I get back into losing weight and being healthy), until I realize that I just have to stop drinking altogether. I can only do some clear liquor like once or twice a week and it has to be in extreme moderation.…

Sweet mercy. A bible quote about scales? "Jesus wept." It's true, you know.

I'm 34 and crying the I-recently-had-another-child-and-never-sleep-though-somehow-more-than-my-wife song. Right place? By the by, Chrono Trigger is one of the all-time greats! Ditto Ocarina of Time!! I recently re-played Fallout 2 for PC and was geeking out like a mothertrucker, especially over the Douglas Adams easter…

Well, I have to say that I really appreciate your genuine response over sarcastic ones. I genuinely enjoy the conversation about this stuff. I totally agree about the Cougar scene and never really thought about how Steve actually grew and became kind of a guardian over the gang, as opposed to the jerk new guy who was just…

I know when someone voices an opinion contrary to the group, it's immediately done for some kind of hipster purposes. Anyway, my personal opinion is that this season was fairly inferior to ST1. The bad guys were rehashes of the original bad guy; the new, main bad guy barely got any play in this season and that's the bad…

New Rules usually said to give yourself credit for something like 250-350 calories (there are so many factors that they may have chosen something fairly safe and a little bit arbitrary), so I usually won't give myself more than 300 calories for lifting. That probably wasn't terribly helpful.

Like ILOVEJAZZERCISE, I was 18 and it was the first day (or days... I can't remember those days too well) of classes for us at college. I was in Southern California and, once we figured out what was going on, there were a lot of us who figured L.A. would be targeted as a cultural target (Hollywood, among other things).

Rotate topwise. Topwise!

Like this. There is no one good beer. There are fourteen, and they like the company of pizza and tacos after 2 a.m.

I'm fine with craft beer and domestic swill. Alcohol is my big problem. Personally, I experience less bloat (not necessarily in the belly) when I don't drink and when I don't eat salt-heavy foods or processed foods or take-out or whatever. I'm sure it's different for every person. I will say that I definitely make the most…

Now, if you're referring to the period before his Planet of the Apes remake, I'd have to seriously disagree. If you're talking about most things after that, I'd more or less agree. Could you be more articulate than "Tim Burton sucks dick"? No offense, but your response leads me to believe that you aren't the most well-read…
-
How about some Michael Keaton / Jack Nicholson Batman, eh? Tim Burton doing a superhero movie (including the sequel!!), that I could get down with.
-
Articulate response. Not true in this case. I mean, opinions are opinions, so of course your opinion can't be wrong... but it is. And I am not tribalist. I make fun of the beer in Idaho CONSTANTLY, even though I'm a local. No, sir, I search for truth. California and Oregon beer is far, far superior to anything in Idaho…

Time to admit: if you're still watching superhero movies, you've agreed to blindly love them no matter what crap they turn out to be. The new Batman (C. Bale) series rocked, but the last one was a total let-down. ADMIT IT! The original X-Men films, especially the first one, were pretty okay; the new ones, including the…

Any chance that chain ANYTHING (including doughnuts) suck and local places are usually better? Country Donuts in Boise beats the piss out of any donut I ever tried anywhere ever. Including Voodoo Dougnuts in P-Town, which are good, but are overhyped. Never tried TH, but I'm willing to bet they're a chain like many other…

I'm at least semi-nerd. I teach English and love graphic novels, Legend of Zelda (and a lot of older games), Star Wars, AND GAME OF THRONES! Shameless plug (because I'd really like some conversation / debate) for those who wouldn't mind reading my nerdy, strong opinions and weighing in. It's a review of the season finale…

I make this really excellent, garlicky balsamic vinaigrette and my wife makes this unbelievable salad with mixed greens, raw kale, quinoa, goat cheese, dried cranberries and walnuts. I could eat that all day long, and I admit that I'm not normally a salad guy. Also a sucker for a good caesar salad with baked salmon or…

My understanding, at least with my own body, is that you shrink from the extremities first, then more toward your core. For example, my wedding ring will become loser and my calves look better, then I can see definition in the quad just above my knee while becoming less flabby in my chest. At present, I still have flab…

The students I teach were born the year I graduated from high school and don't know how to send an email.

Lots of great advice here. From a fitness standpoint, don't underestimate strength training (whether with weights or without... but with weights is much better for me). A lot of folks hit the cardio hard (or they used to) and I will certainly go on a run or a hike or something cardio-based 1-2 times per week, but I've seen…
