  • Uh, that's why I'm here. I used to polish off Ben & Jerry's pints for desert after 1lb steaks and whole loaves of garlic bread. I thought they put it in those little containers because they were intended to be single serving sizes.
  • Welcome! This is a great site/app. Get comfortable and take it slow & steady to get where you want to be. : )

  • Welcome. This is a great site/app. When I started I was blown away too by how many calories I was really eating. Using the app on my phone works great because I can enter in food before I eat it, and that'll sometimes spur me on to make a better choice when I see what the calories will be. The best thing, for me at least,…

  • When I want to eat a lot, which is often, I stick with stuff like chicken, turkey, and chicken sausages. They're so low calorie that I can eat til I'm beyond full and still have lots of calories left over.

  • This is a great way to lose. The ability to easily track calories, & the realistic calorie limits it gives, keep it from feeling like a restrictive diet. Makes it easy to stick with it that way. You're doing great! Keep up the good work!
  • Food! I like it, a lot. And if it's good, I want more. If it's great, I want a lot more.
  • Wow that's a huge difference already! You're doing great!!!
  • Welcome and good luck! This site & app is great. Being able to eat what I want, just appropriate amounts thanks to this site, keeps it from feeling like a diet. And by not feeling like I'm depriving myself of anything, makes it so easy to stick to it. Entering my foods before I eat it is a huge help just because I know…
  • They've already been mentioned but, Cradle of Filth, & Dimmu Borgir! And Black Label Society for when you want something slower.

  • I don't know which one it was, but my wife got one at Walmart for $30 and it ended up being just a HRM. Didn't track calories. Returned it & went with a Polar FT4. Cost a little more, but much more effective.
  • Welcome! This site & the phone app is a great way to lose. Logging in your food before you eat is a good way to stay accountable & fix bad decisions before it's too late.
  • My wife picked up a $30 one from Walmart. Turned out it was only a HRM, didn't monitor calories. Returned it the next day & got a Polar ft4. She thought the chest strap would bug her, but after the first time, doesn't even notice it.
  • Just got my wife the ft4 & she's loving it. Thought the chest strap would bother her, but says it doesn't at all. Works great.
  • Haha, I can identify with that. The one that drives me crazy is "then" vs "than". I swear people get it wrong more often than right.
  • Enter your food calories before you eat it. It might talk you out of some bad choices.
    in Hi all.... Comment by TromaRon July 2011
  • That's why they're ex's, because they're so strange. ...and not the good kind of strange. ; )
  • This page has some great pointers: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/wiki/how-to-smoke-chicken-competition-style I use this brine all the time to keep chicken breasts moist. You might also want to look into getting a remote thermometer to keep from having to open the oven too much. Both of these are good choices:…
  • Yay for both of you! My wife of almost 18 years started out as a friend 2700 miles away.
  • The Cramps! Great blend of rockabilly & sarcastic humor. I could listen to them all day, and frequently do.
  • Have fun! I'll be watching on tv.
  • You're the one on the diet. What other's eat, friends or not, is their business not yours. Getting upset over it makes absolutely no sense to me.
  • I'm in the same boat as you. I'm waiting a bit to see what the new Motorola Bionic will be like. Should be out soon.
  • I'm Ron & I'm the convention manager for Troma films. Spring and fall mean non-stop horror, sci fi, and b-movie conventions for me.
  • You do look good the way you are. But as you get yourself to where you want to be, and your confidence increases, you'll be even hotter! Don't let people get you down. If it's important to you, then it's important.
  • Welcome! This is a great helpful site, and if you can use the phone app, it's even better.
  • Favorites are dogs. I have 2 Border Collie mutts, my kids. Also have a very mellow cat who thinks he's a dog. First cat I've ever liked. Probably because he's the first one I've had who doesn't jump on counters! Used to have Leopard Geckos and a Ball Python. Python was ok, but the Geckos were great. If the crickets I fed…
  • I blame magic.
