1) You are logging your calories, analyzing it, and going to the gym. That is amazing; the below may be able to help that. 2) You can eat a "healthy" lunch of some coconut, avocado, eggs, and almonds and come out of it with 700 calories consumed. If you are like me and generally eat the majority of calories at dinner (I…

Commit to entering the alcohol accurately into MFP and let the cards fall as they will. Most of the time I don't think you will want to wipe out your hard work at the gym/food choices with 350 calories of booze. That said, if you are at a wedding/had a rough week and want to live it up, go for it, just enter it correctly.

Its a lot like the stock market, if you let "results" from every day get to you it will drive you nuts. I can easily gain or lose 4-5 pounds in a one day swing. Heck, you could gain three pounds in the next five minutes just drinking 48 ounces of water. All that said, I have found its best to weigh myself in the morning.…

I am in! So long as we agree to put on 4 lbs on Thanksgiving.

1) I think a lot of the problem with a new lower caloric intake is that we have to change what we are eating not just the amount. There are so many great things you can make/eat that are very low in calories. You might not love them and you might need to learn out to make them, but they will help a lot. The trick is…

I am a 5'10" male. With a wide frame and skier/soccer legs. My heaviest was 220 Lightest (in high school) 170 Currently 207 Goal 190

So retired Mom, your good old friend is doing coke and drinking 9 beers a day. Now what?

Again same thing I have been saying. What if they are using a lot of cocaine or alcohol. Same thing?

I see what you are saying, but what would your family have done if you were putting down half a bottle of whiskey a day? Likewise, do you think everyone who is morbidly obese totally comprehends the consequences of diabetes, heart failure, etc. Everyone has a different situation, but I can tell you that if I had a close…

I completely agree on Avocado.

It is funny in our culture that if someone is addicted to cocaine or drinking, or is smoking two packs a day that it is fair game. Just look on this board for example. Someone says "Hey guys I am having a lot of trouble losing weight, I drink 5-8 drinks a night, but I work out a lot and I don't think I want to cut back."…

Measure it by the cup. If you have 1/8 of the total, you have also had (in theory) 1/8 of everything you put in there. I usually don't get that specific and will just guess on the higher side. So lets take a simple meat tomato sauce: 2 large cans of Tomato 2 table spoons of tomato paste One bunch basil Various herbs 2…

Thank you for your informative and not hateful response to my question. Its nice to see that people on here (other than Kate) support each other.

Thanks All! I am more like 25g down a day, on average.
