  • A whole quatro formaggi pizza. Lots of melted cheese and flavors...
  • The body has enzimes that `digest` food. There are different types of enzimes for different types of food. If you eat to much of a food, the enzimes get tired and you no longer get the nutrients from food as you should. Also, certain enzimes don't manage to diggest properly at the same time (like eating potatoes with meat…
  • You're actually smooth. My daily weight flcutuates as crazy most times. :laugh: It's going down, but zig-zag-ing a lot in this time.
  • When changing things, you should wait before saying it works or not. More than a week. Our bodies need time to adjust. Due to eating more and biking (some muscle develop there, thus a small increase in weight) you may gain 2-3 weeks, before starting to lose again. It's important to know that a weight increase can mean more…
  • I have lost almost 18 kg (40 pounds) since the end of August last year, and I'm halfway. I've been fat for so long that losing all in 2 years is not that bad... I lose at a small rate, compared to others on MFP, but that is the way I roll and I'm confortable with this. No matter where I will stop losing, I'm still lighter…
  • I eat around 100-140g of protein daily, evenly distributed during the day... I have meat almost always for lunch and dinner and in the morning I eat greek yoghurt. My snacks don't tend to have protein. I won't have a meat portion bigger than 5-6 oz (150 g), but I eat with my meat other foods with proteins, like cheese,…
  • Tracking calories helps, but I won't say it's like science. For example I lost in average 1 lbs per week in the last 40 weeks (which is my original setting), but it wasn't liniar. Some weeks I lost more, some I lost less. Human bodies are imperfect you know, not machines build to lose the weight you program. Also, in the…
  • I don't know the logical explanation, but different surfaces will lead to different weights). Even different scales in the same place can differ. You can weight with different scales or in different places, but track only the weight in the same settings to have a truly comparative view.
  • Pollock in parmeggiano crust (cooked in the pan, no added fat), microwaved baby potatoes and a little garlic sauce. One of the best ways to eat 500 calories. :D Chicken liver in bacon + cabbage apple salad, with greek yogurt, lime juice and dill dresing. 300 calorie meal...mmmm...
  • I associate the `fat girl` look with the face and arms in general. I've seen around many girls losing tons of weight, having skiiny legs, nice small body... but still with a chubby face and big-flabby arms. Most of them get rid of that look after about a year after they lost the weight. But during a short period, you could…
  • You should get some blood test to see what your body lacks or not. Without knowing what vitamin/minerals defficiencies you have, you can't know exactly what to suppliments. For example, most young women may suffer from iron defficiencie, but it's just a guess. Maybe you are a student, pretyy stressed and you have zinc or…
  • Don't create a habit of rewards based on eating, no mather how much different is that habit. You should understand why, for the reassons you explained. Dessert after a meal is not good for digestion, especially at dinner, and especially for a children who's diggestive system is still forming. Desserts should be treats or…
  • Tortilla, a slice of light gouda and 2 hot-dogs (aka only the sausages).
  • I've lost an average of 1 lb per week in the last 39 weeks and I feel that is a great accomplishement. I did not have any major plateau, my skin is not saggy, I feel like I can mentally cope with my transformation. I didn't get fat quick, I will not lose quick. Of course, I wish I could lose over night all the weight. But…
  • Do your best to workout and eat well in the next year. If that does not work, then think of surgery. Some things take time. You want to fix a 9 months change in 2 months? At least give your body more time.
  • You can make pepper paste (red bell pepper, of course), similar to tomato paste/ketchup, from roasted pepper. It's great as a replacement in some recipies. http://www.myhealthyeatinghabits.com/2011/02/04/red-bell-pepper-sauce/…
  • You forgot to mention Body Revolution, I think.
  • Since every solution I had in mind was already told... If you have a local or national television with specialises in `shocking` stories, you can give them a call and convince them to make a story about your neighbours. Eventually the municipality would have to respond on the media harrasing. In my country, it seems to…
  • Walking around the house and looking like this (welll, I have something a little different in mind, but Google did not helped me.
  • Cheese. On everything. :laugh: All kinds.
  • I just think that everyone should dress to the ocasion. Workout requires workout clothes, formal requires formal dressing, street requires street/casual clothes, work requires work clothes. Of course, each of these adapted to every person own style. I have clothes specially for workout and never used them for anything…
  • Chicken mushroom stew, with microwave baked baby potatoes. A great 500 calorie lunch. Roasted sirloin, over a beautiful salad, with a little of the addicting Heinz garlic herb sauce. A filling dinner for only 400 calories. Quesadilla with prosciutto and brie cheese, topped with salsa. Died and gone to heaven. :D
  • Don't know about what is general better, but I can't have fruits for breakfast. First, because just a fruit meal gives me terrible stomach burns (my gastric acid levels tend to get very high from any kind of fruits), second, because if I eat more than 1 serving of fruits a day (and a good breakfast would have more than a…
  • You can lose weight eating bad... you can even maintain for a while. But is this life only about weight? No. A balanced diet improves you health, physically and mentally (a balanced diet, if no other health issue exists, lead to normal hormone secretion, which is a key factor for mental health). That being said... there…
  • - make the same food, give him bigger person - make the same food + make some extra for him (for example add some potatoes to his meal or boiled pasta and nuts/seeds to his salads... you know, simple things, that are not such a big deal to make as extra) - make the same food + have the same portions (but him eating more…
  • 5'7'' (about 172 cm) 172 lbs (about 77.8 kg) apple shape 44 euro size for tops and dresses 42 euro size for pants (I carry my weight up), 40 euro size for skirts (especially if they have elastic bands) I always find conversions contradictory, but I guess the size 44 euro is about size 14 US, 42 is 12 and 40 is 10. I go to…
  • For me, the first pounds seemed to get off my back. :noway: Now, after almost 17 kg (40 pounds) I get the feeling I lost all over... but not that much from my belly (typical apple shape). :grumble:
  • What was your look/style before? Casual with a flare og baggy. :laugh: Has it changed...and if so how? Still casual, but I got some smart-casual and cool-casual outfits. I still am afraid to go out of the more loose clothes zone, but I'm working on my body image. What are some of your new flattering looks…
  • Salmon with asparagus and red onion, in a sauce made with Dijon mustard, lemon juice and capers. Full of flavors, 249 calories a serving.
  • I don't see it as getting in the way... they just try to bond. My cat sometimes wants to play when I workout. When I do ground exercises she starts playing with my foot. When I started working out it was worse. One I was doind tae-bo and she actually came and sat between my legs (I tried to make her go, because I was…
