TYVM! Yes, minor bumps happen, and you flippin' figure that shiz out! You deal with it, like you deal with anything in life. And it sucks *while* it's happening, sure. But yes, K.I.S.S. CI/CO No excuses Find a way Problem solve Have a WHY etc, etc, etc. If you haven't had success, keep trying until you figure it out. Keep…

That's true. And there are always exceptions. When I go on my 8 week furlough (coming up), I will likely gain if I don't bust my butt with extra exercise. Reason? I won't have money to intake adequate protein, which for me, the difference between 15% and 20% is *the world* So yeah, reasons, sure. But that doesn't mean I…

I had my reasons too. :smile:

Yep. It's the "trial and error" that is the *hard* part. That's the time spent "figuring it out." And once it's figured out, and you make it a habit, it's not so hard. I agree that the OP could have used better wording, but the base point is there. Why does it take so long for so many people to "figure it out?" I mean, it…

I think easy depends on your frame of mind. I have had my own personal stressors, and I have decided not to log here and there, but that's just life. Life sometimes throws you a curve ball, and you have to react. That doesn't make it *hard* to lose weight, once you find what works. And obviously, I realize that some folks…

At 18 I was running 3-5 miles three times a week and in the gym twice a week. I didn't *need* to lose weight until my twenties. I gained 90 pounds with my first pregnancy, then another 60ish pounds with my second. I had c-sections with both of them and was told not to exercise for a while. I waited about 15 years. :laugh:

I wanted to lift for months, then finally found a bench and some plates (no rack) at a yard sale for $20.

I'm 40, a wife, a mother of two teens, work full-time......................... ...................and I used to make excuses as to why I couldn't lose weight. The truth was that I hadn't figured out how to do it. Once I figured it out, it was actually pretty easy. I'm still kicking myself that I spent all those years…

I'm finishing up my second year and have to agree. I think some people find it hard because they haven't really figured it out yet.

I have sympathy for people who struggle with eating disorders, and I have actually worked with drug addicts and have *loads* of sympathy for them, even so much as to work tirelessly to change our nation's drug policies. That doesn't change the *irritation* felt when people confuse eating disorders with addictions. So…

Gambling "addiction" is actually a compulsive behavioral disorder.

Dude, I can eat 1200 calories for breakfast. Four pancakes with butter and syrup, two slices of bacon, one sausage patty, and a glass of whole milk. Boom! Maybe you should talk to your doctor and have your hormones checked. Something isn't right for a grown man of your height and weight to "struggle" getting over 1200…

Make sense. I'm in a large city, work downtown, and rarely see nature other than the tree in our front yard. I love city life, but I like to get away once in a while.

:laugh:

Well said, FireOpalCO.

Too many avocados and you won't lose. Calories exist, whether or not you are tracking them.

I'm in Missouri, but I love camping too! We usually stay at state parks. Always in a tent!

"smarter, not harder" = "efficient for your goals" /thread

Sugar is a carbohydrate, so technically, it is a nutrient. It simply contains no micronutrients, like vitamins. But solve that by adding to other foods that do have micronutrients, Boom!

Yes, this is probably the truth. If he isn't hungry, then he's likely not eating only 1800 calories.

Burning calories is what we do every day. It's also called "daily activity" or "living life." Exercise is what we do to stay fit and healthy. You have to eat for your activity level. If trying to lose weight, then you eat a little bit less than you burn.

My religion dictates that all food is a blessing from God, not sinful. It's only a sin if you steal it.

All foods are clean, unless you are Jewish or Muslim, in which case, your religion dictates that certain foods are not clean.

Too funny. My brother loves it, and *I* think it tastes like soap. hahaha

See, Jessica? This is how it's done! (Kruggeri, I was going to say, "If you want your guac to taste like crap, then by all means, add cilantro," but I'm trying to set a good example for Jessica. =P)

Wow! Sensitive or Hangry? This is a public forum. People are free to post their opinions. If your feelings are hurt every time someone disagrees with you, you might want to limit your online time. A quick scroll through this thread alone is lots of various opinions on guacamole. It's all good. Chill!

(C) Cilantro does NOT belong in guacamole. : laugh :
