My "diet" meant cutting out sodas and only eating 3 meals a day instead of breakfast, starbucks, brunch, lunch, linner, daytime snack, dinner, desert, midnight snack #1 and midnight snack #2. Try a diet that still lets you eat your favorite foods, just less of them. That's what I'm doing and things are working great so…

Well, you said you're awesome. Good enough for me :O

Keep in mind that some pasta is more dense when stacked atop of itself than other pasta. For example, a cup of spaghetti has less air between noodles than a cup of penne would. As another example, if you cut down some trees and stack the logs on top of eachother, it'll weigh a lot. However, if you hollow out those logs,…

The following has nothing to do with the ACE pill, havent done my research on it, just replying to the below post. Denial is a pretty natural reaction, I guess. Many people (especially those with obese families) will think they've just inhereted "bad genes" and be in denial that there's contributing lifestyle changes. I…

I'm sad to say that I don't know what Chantix is :( My experience with electronic cigarettes came from peer pressure to fit in with my e-cig smoking friends- I wasn't really a smoker before that. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but it is what it is. Anything that helps is probably worth a try, though! Generally speaking, I hear…

Glad to see some success stories in here, gives me inspiration for myself. It's funny that I'm a photographer but have yet to take any photos for what will hopefully be a future before/after. Too camera shy I guess. q_q

Hey thanks :D Something you may consider, but I smoked electronic cigarettes for a while and loved them. The initial investment is a little crappy, but in the long run (shorter if you smoke a lot) they are way cheaper, and also better for you (that is to say, "less bad for you" but still unhealthy.) Might be worth a try,…

In regards to this whole conversation about dating certain races, I don't think its racist to have a preference. Everyone has preferences, things their brain has been conditioned to respond more warmly to. It's not a conscious decision to prefer one thing over the other. On a fitness site, I guess my analogy would be that…

I'm on a quest to lose some 80ish pounds. I can't decide whether to envy you for your success or mourn your wallet :P Thankfully, in my case anyway, I kept some of my thinner clothes to help ease my own transition. Should be able to lose another 40lbs I think before I have to start thinking about a new wardrobe. That, and…

What I'm saying isn't regarding how much you drink, but when you drink it. Water fills your stomach and causes you to be full. For example, if somebody drank 8 glasses of water for breakfast (crazy, I know) they wouldn't be hungry. However, once that water goes through their system, their stomach is empty. If you spread…

Triple Baconator from Wendys, anyone? Only had it once or twice, but I always felt like an idiot afterwards. It tastes really good but I knew I was making a mistake, especially because I lacked portion control. At the time, it was impossible to pick up a burger and not finish it.

I'm not an expert on this kinda stuff, but I know that deciding when to drink water tends to keep my stomache full during the day, too. Once upon a time, as uneducated as I was, I just filled a pitcher of water and drank it with my breakfast and spent the next 2 hours peeing it all out. However, now I do a "drink a glass…

Probably the biggest words of wisdom here. Right now, I'm just dieting via portion control 'cause I don't have the motivation to exercise, and I've lost 18 lbs. My diet isn't necessarily the most nutritious thing ever, it's just a mixture of calorie control and discipline. If I want to eat a bowl of frozen yogurt for…
