I'd wait until tomorrow and maybe send a quick text saying you had fun and would be up for it again sometime! Then just wait. Don't be too eager...let it ride. If he likes you he'll let you know.

LMAO!!!!

Sometimes I suck on hard candies...they have sugar, are sweet and can take a while to eat. Brachs is a good brand.

You don't have to eat 2500 cal/day. I'd say try eating 1600 cal/day. That way you are still in a deficit and not doing harm to your body or metabolism. I agree with others that 1000 cal/day will be difficult to maintain over the long haul, and you can afford to eat a bit more. Good luck!

I tend to track breakfast and maybe lunch the day before. Sometimes I end up changing lunch...but breakfast is in the tracker the day before 99% of the time. I don't know what I'll be hungry for at dinner time so I leave that open.

Yyyyup! This is me, too!

I'm a little taller at 5'11'' and currently 172 or so...will find out tomorrow! But my ultimate goal weight would be 150...don't know if I'll reach that. But I guess I'll go to wherever my body takes me at eating 1600-2000 cal/day and doing sports/gym 3-6 days/wk. I'm guessing right now it'll be about 155-160.

I'm the one usually picking up people, lol! I had a friend ONE time swoop me up like it was nothing and it scared the hell out of me!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!! ;) That's my goal...to be swooped up. :bigsmile:

My schedule can be all over the map. Some days I'll be up at 8am...other days at 11am. I just make sure to eat an hour or two after I wake up and eat throughout the day if I can. I also tend to eat more at night (a bit too much lately!) so I save about 40-50% of my calories for at night. I'm also trying to eat within…

I'm still thinking about how somebody ate your food!!! WTH is wrong with people? Like they think the food just appeared there for THEM to eat??? Ugh...anyway...I don't think it'll affect you negatively to eat that much at night...if you can make it that long. :)

I took a pic of your list and have it as my wallpaper on my phone!!!

I LOVE this!!! Genius!!! This is exactly what I needed to hear! I have to be the parent to myself and so "NO! You've had enough!"

Feel free to add me if you like! I am looking to lose 15-20 lbs and seem to be stuck lately. Usually when warmer weather hits I'm raring to go to lose...but this year I'm a bit burned out. Could use some fresh blood! :wink:

Oh, and I used to go shopping to avoid being bored...but now I'm paying off THAT debt and looking to move, so don't have much money to spend...which also makes me turn to food...so stupid.

Yyyyyyyup! I'd be at goal weight right now if I didn't have this issue with just eating food to fill up being bored at night. I go through phases though where I'm focused, working out and feeling good and the weight falls off. THEN I get stuck and just maintain and go up a down the same 5 lbs. If I could only get to goal…

Yeah...I agree. I need to buy those skinny cow bars, too. Portion control is my issue...BIG time. :ohwell:

I like this thread. I've been going back and forth between NOT eating exercise calories, eating them, doing TDEE, NOT doing TDEE. I just need to do ONE program and give it a few months to see what happens. I'm just so impatient. I think I'm going to just do what you are doing. Eat a base amount of calories which allows me…

I really didn't give up anything....HOWEVER...cannot have certain foods laying around the house. I tend to eat out of boredome at night undoing my work during the day. I have to get single portions of what I really want in order to not eat too much. Summer is coming and need to lose these last 15 lbs!!!!!!!

I tend to be this way during the day lately. I'm fine all day and then between 8pm-12am I just wanna snack. I was trying to stay at about 1600 cal/day and not eating back much of the exercise calories. Seems I end up eating out of boredom. I don't know if I should just up my total calories or just show some restraint! I…

I think once the novelty of it all wears off you'll be fine. In the meantime, eat a big breakfast with a lot of protein and healthy fats to keep you full. THEN, chew gum all day long! Then drink water water water...even iced tea or coffee. That's what I did. I worked in a chocolate shop for YEAAAARSSSS and managed to not…

I just went from Equal to Splenda. I heard Splenda isn't AS bad for you...but I could be wrong. :ohwell:

Lol...I just bought a few bras today from VS. I am now a tight 36B...C was just too roomy. I figure that losing the last 15 lbs will hopefully keep me in a B...which is fine with me...I'm not crazy about having big boobs! So I may go down to a 34B...but I'll just end up using the other hooks as I lose the last few pounds.…

Ditto that!!!

I was just talking about this today. I think for me that I'd rather have more food and less often. I'm a volume eater and feel more satiated on bigger portions. So I'm going to try and eat three meals/day with a snack or two. This way I'm full longer and not always thinking about when I have to eat next or WHAT I'm going…

I do the same thing lately. I'm trying to stick to 1600-2000 cal/day...regardless of exercise calories earned. I do play sports, go to gym, and have a job where I'm on my feet...so I do get in my activity. I just find myself also trying to not eat back all of my calories...but then I end up binging at night lately. So I'm…

To look good in EVERYTHING and NOTHING!!!

Yeah...I don't think most people naturally eat the same exact number of calories/day. I'm also doing TDEE minus about 15% so keeping most of my days around 2000 cals...give or take a few.

I went closet shopping a few weeks ago. I need to get down a few more pounds before I can do it again and see any results.

I'm 5'11'' and currently about 171. I am looking to get to 150-155...I'll see when I hit 155 how I look and feel. I was trying to eat about 1600-1800 cal/day...but get hungry on that. SO, I am just starting to do TDEE (2400cal/day doing exercise 3x/wk) minus about 15% or so bringing me to about 2000 cal/day. I just need to…

Yes!
