My victory for the day.... Workout done during my lunch break, had a healthy lunch, and am well on my way to be within my calorie goal for the day. Whee!

Might be because it is quite shocking to see someone drop a lot of weight (because, well, most people don't do that). For Dr. / Secretary, the reason for being so adamant might be that they are worried you are changing in a way that would be hurtful for your health (eating disorder, for example). For friends /…

I did month 1 of Insanity, and then took a break due to lack of time etc., and after a hiking vacation I am now back on it (yesterday was day 1). I hope that I can stick with it until the end this time, as I also did not have a lot of weight loss in the first month, but I did see that my condition got a lot better and my…

I wouldn't call myself support-less at all (my boyfriend has been the main motivation to get started losing weight with me and all), but I do see that there are times when it is all up to me to follow-through with things... Like when he doesn't have time for the workout, do I do it on my own or skip it? Or when I am at…

Any kind of fruit, yogurt, drizzle with honey... Or a milkshake with honey (milk + banana + frozen something, like strawberries or frozen yogurt or whatever). Could even make sesame chicken, but I am getting the idea that's not the kind of 'sweet' thing you are looking for, heh.

Very good, very good! Just this morning (and still now) I am resisting the free donuts brought in to celebrate - well, I am not quite sure, probably to celebrate that it is Thursday. Working in a bigger office.. in Canada... in a city that just got a new Tim Horton's... it's a challenge sometimes, heh. But I do enjoy…

Very very nice!! I remember my moment, it's very awesome and reinforces that you are on the right track! :)

I got tired of logging as well and at some point me and my bf decided that we knew the cals more or less of the things we eat; we know what's good for us and what isn't, and we don't need to guesstimate it all down to the single cal anymore. In short, we just stopped logging (but we haven't stopped eating the food we love…

Hmmm finding out that I have to work on Saturday, because someone can't plan work properly and has caused a deadline that can otherwise not be kept. Grrrr!! :(

* Salt / Milk bath (helps clean + soothe skin) * Good diet (little sugars and such) * Lotions (hurts but helps, anything not soaked with perfumes etc. might be best) I used to have bad skin and grew up sans soda etc. due to that.

I have before pictures.. I kind of regret not having weighed myself before I started to change my diet though, so my highest weight is only an estimation :/

Did you know that you can track Sodium here too? Food > Settings > Nutrients Tracked: > Change any of them to track Sodium

"What's your secret????" :D Like losing weight is a secret club that not everyone has the privilege of qualifying for!

I have that too unfortunately, although lately I think people are starting to give up. But for a while they almost seemed to view it as a "sport" to position boxes of timbits and the likes around me. Whenever I could, I said no; whenever I thought it was acceptable, I'd have like 1 timbit (=not often). Whenever there is a…

Cook it at home, that's definitely worth it in the long run (and the short one, for chicken noodle soup is yummy).

I had some rabbits and birds, nothing weird I guess apart from their names.. Rabbits were called Canini di Lorenzo Geronimo von Haas Fluke Kelso And the birds were called Tuzi Fliegend Robert Fliegend (we figured they were a couple, even though they were both dudes)

This! I love salads too, minus the dressing. Actually saying "salads are bad" is just as bad as saying "salads are the only way to lose weight". As usual, it depends on each individual and their view, as so many things do.

I had the same O.O

As a matter of fact yes :P But German bread is so tasty, have you ever tried any?

Moved from Germany to Canada... I miss real bread :(

Some info I could find - http://www.livestrong.com/article/355722-negative-side-effects-of-caffeine-ephedrine/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/356069-ephedrine-aspirin-caffeine/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECA_stack Doesn't sound too good to me :<

English muffin with egg, 1/2 slice of ham and a bit of maple syrup. Plain 1% yogurt with a small apple and a bit of honey drizzled on top. = 500 cals, and delicious.

Yes I was thinking about doing that, after I saw that changing to 1 lb / week I am allowed a whopping 1510. Somewhere in between will be good, along the lines of my previous one. This stuff can always be adjusted anyway, so I am not really sweating it too much right now. Just the fact that 1260 is so low that it starts…

Not sure I understand - 'where' as in which weight per week? I was aiming to maintain my 1.5 lbs loss per week, it's gone perfectly according to plan so far for the past 10 weeks.

Just seems like I am nearing the min. net awfully fast here :|

Actually it's a site about fitness. If you are getting more fit with the help of surgery, then there is nothing wrong with that either, I find.

Cheat days are OK, just make sure that you make "good bad choices", as in, don't just consider a cheat day a free-for-all pass to eat anything in any quantity ;) Also, just because you have one cheat day - even if it's a "bad one" - that doesn't mean that your previous efforts are ruined, so long as you go back to your…

- Juice in general (so many calories for something we don't even consider 'food'). - Rice - Pasta (I knew it was not a 'light' food, but it's quite a lot more heavy than I thought) - Ground beef Not that these are bad, just high in calories if you consider the volume..

Yep. I am no fan of the fruity yogurts you can buy :|

Yogurt + fruit as you like (1/2 apple, prunes, strawberries, whatever you have) + a bit of honey drizzled on top.. Delicious! :)
