I agree with this in general, but don't some people find it easier to eat less when they eat food higher in nutrients? Because I have noticed that I am more easily satisfied by nutrient dense foods than I am with junk food of equal caloric value. I'm "happier" briefly with the junk food, but the nutritious stuff just seems…

You say it like you have two choices at the restaurant, either binge, or order a salad and a water with a wedge of lemon in it. Look, I sympathize, weekends are my worst, but maybe do what I do? I still do naughty foods and what-not on the weekend, but I simply cut everything in half (or order less, or enforce yourself to…

I got sandwiched the other day. I curled up on the floor my shower in a fetal position and cried for an hour, but I've had trouble moving on since.

It suits you! :O)

In all seriousness, yeah, that's probably a lot to do with it, made me feel like a freak. Thanks for that viewpoint, make sense.

Let me suggest something to you. It can be hard to suddenly switch to healthy food. Why not try replacing unhealthy things with healthy things slowly, over a great deal of time? That's what I did. As far as how to do it, I suggest going to Whole Foods or your local equivalent (grocery store that specializes in healthier…

Serial killer. No idea why either, I would never harm anyone, beyond that, I'm that ridiculous guy who carries bugs outside because I don't want to kill them. Oh well, not really even sure why the observation stuck so long, maybe it did strike a nerve somehow, but not going to fret over it. I did, however, carefully note…

To poster: you're looking good, please keep it up, good on you, it feels great to feel better about yourself, doesn't it? :O) To others: um, nothing really all that wrong with fishing for a compliment (not saying that is what poster is doing, just noticed it was a topic that came up in this thread).

Somewhat useless term, this "eating clean". Keep it simple, if you are eating crappy food, you are eating crappy food, if you are eating healthy food, you are eating healthy food. In my opinion, and I'm no expert, it's best to try to eat healthy but give yourself a treat now and then. I do like the eat washed food only…

By the way OP, this may or may not help but I initially felt very empty and hungry trying to lose weight, so I googled foods that make you feel full and have introduced some of them into my diet (there are many). I also drink water all day, particularly if I feel "empty". Mind you I am careful to eat a healthy variety of…

We walked a lot. As a kid, even living in East LA, it was not unusual to be 6 years old and wander around without fear of being preyed upon (parents are rightfully frightened of letting their children walk around unattended these days). Portion sizes have increased over the last forty to fifty years. In the 70's, I…

"Your post was too long; I didn't read it." So in being humorous with you, you could say the TL;DR of my reply is "Too long; didn't read".

My "avoiding it being a TL;DR reply": I am fat and I am driven to be "not fat", so I'm hesitant to eat even when I exercise. Longer reply: A few reasons: 1) I have someone discouraging me from eating beyond 1600 calories per day and feeling fairly certain I should be lowering it even more even though I'm 6'0" and starting…

Discuss, well I would say the whole article could be shortened for the TL;DR crowd: use your f___cking head. I really like that article, mind you, but what it really boils down to is simple. Your health is important, so get educated on it. If you plan your dietary and health approach based on the opinions of others, you…

MFP does not charge us to use their website, so in my opinion they pretty much get a free pass for selling advertising space to anyone they want as long as it isn't something violently offensive such as baseball bats made for beating puppies. I hate those adds.

Wouldn't want to but I might have his back if someone came at him.
-
Melanie I think all of the above. I'm not focused on any one approach to my weight loss, health and fitness. Anything that helps along these lines is welcome to me. I believe in a balanced approach to my health and fitness, and have found MFP and its community to be very helpful all around. Personally I'm not trying to…

45, happily married to a wife also working on MFP (although she is already a hottie and frankly doesn't need to lose weight in my opinion). Live with her daughter, son-in-law and her son in a big house. I know it's a challenge to be in your 40's, have a family to manage, bills to pay and still handle health and fitness. Go…

Mexican or Armenian, but not once my actual blend (Polish, Dutch, Portuguese).

a variation on my profile picture.

Personally I plan on turning on MFP, staring it right in the eye, and saying "you might want to turn around and not watch this." Massive cheat day. To answer your question, if you are a guest at a dinner someone else made, you may have to guess and use generic examples of items you log. Bringing a food scale to the table…

Wiki: The definition of geek has changed considerably over time, and there is no longer a definitive meaning. The term nerd has a similar, practically synonymous meaning as geek, but many choose to identify different connotations among these two terms, although the differences are disputed. In a 2007 interview on The…

Personally I enjoy being well trolled now and then. Internet forums are, in any case, not the place for the thin skinned.

To the original poster: please use paragraphs and more punctuation. It's hard to really get the "narrative of you" when the communication isn't separated with mental pauses and dynamic stresses. 1) I have never heard of a guy who had a friend with benefits ever wanting it to go further. I'm not saying it has never…

cheers! Have ready every single book including the ones by Frank and Dave.

This may not help you but one thing I did, geek that I am, is took my nephew and neices doing live action role playing (D&D) at a huge garden in my area. They loved it and I probably burned about 400 calories over 2.5 hours of having fun with my guys. Beyond that yeah our geekiness does not tend to foster weight loss. I do…

I'm not sure, from what you say, that she isn't at a good weight all things considered. Her weight goal might be a tiny bit unrealistic. Sounds like she is doing VERY well. Take a look at someone who installs bricks, stone and mortar every day (I do see them every day) and I can tell you that they hit a certain weight and…

I only weigh Sunday morning and I make sure it's at the exact same point of my morning routine (after going to the bathroom Sunday morning, to put it indelicately). Reason: weight can vary a bit much from day to day, but I graph my weight from week to week and this tells me, by trend, if I'm steering my ship right or not…

Original poster: you sound like you have it under control and enjoy it, sweet. I can only have one glass at a time due to how much food I desire, have a real hard time making room for it. But I love wine :O) (of course I do, I'm a pirate)
