Lol - I wish it was that easy. My life doesn't really do "consistency" right now. You ever cook a meal for your family before? I'm sure you have... But have you ever tried to cook a meal while also replacing the brakes on your car AND mowing the lawn all within the same 4-hour time window? That's been my life lately.…

I did read once that a lot of sweeteners can cause water retention and sorta "stunt" weight loss... I've found that if I'm plateaued for a while, I'll lay off the diet drinks for a day or two and it often causes a quick drop for a short while. Other than that I haven't let people convince me that ALL SODAS ARE BAD ALWAYS…

I'm currently 205 from a starting weight of 249. I've done really well for myself by jogging on a treadmill and occassionally using a rowing machine - both at my house. I have neither the time, money nor patience for gyms, and I live on a freakin' mountain, so jogging outside is not preferable... Anyways, my basic,…

Um... "Let's get naked"...? What kind of motivation are we talking about, anyways? :laugh:

Now who's the showoff... :wink: lol :smile:

I totally support this, and I get so sick of others trying to belittle or insult someone for trying to improve the intelligence and awareness of others. It's bad enough when I see a post on Facebook that reads "i dunno why peeps b on me about what i do it isnt ur business u do ur thing n i do mine" and I realize it was…

Somewhat slightly off topic, but I've been to Tom's River NJ before - nice place!

I would personally like to disprove this theory by requesting to - in fact - see them all.

I remember seeing your 139 picture from an earlier post and thinking "Gaw-damn!!!" Very pretty. :flowerforyou: Congrats on your progress and keep it up!

Don't you love how quick people are to insult others because they don't share the same useless social conventions as the masses? Charlie003, people like you make me sick. The OP is only "valid" if he's used MFP for a year? What is wrong with you?? Who do you think you are?? You hop around here hurling insults at other…

People love the new "troll" word - it's become the internet-chat synonym to "dork" or "stupidhead". I generally consider those to use it to have a very low IQ. I'm actually with ya - I find so much of this site to be silly. The word games, the "Would you date the person above you" - that's not why I'm here. For what it's…

My guess is, considering your work load, you should be ingesting a pretty decent number of calories. Even at 1,800 a day I'm not sure I'm getting enough and I'm not quite as active as you (but I'm a guy.)

I've had Subway 2-3 times a month during my diet for the past 7 months, and have lost 42 pounds along the way - many times seeing no gains or even weight losses the day after. There was a thread here a while back where people were saying McDonalds was fine if you chose the right items to eat. Some people are parade…

How about this for a suggestion - quit making senseless posts on the internet looking for guidance and go DO what you want to do. I'm sorry if this sounds mean (actually I'm really not) but come on... "Hey how do I go do something that I know how to do but don't want to do?" Do you need motivation to eat? Do you need…

Beef... thinly sliced onions, corn, black olives, salsa, half-serving of shredded cheese & a dallop of sour cream. (I add store-bought Taco Bell chipotle salad dressing when I need some extra calories.) Best damned taco salad I've ever had.

Win I enjoy swimming - feel free to buy me a pool, plzkthnx....

YES! I hate it when people try to tell me that a juice or coffee doesn't "count" as water. Lemmings... The primary ingredient - even in soda - is water. And I occassionally add Mio flavorings to my water or even make my own Sodastream sodas at home, which starts off by filling a bottle with WATER! It's the OTHER stuff in…

For what it's worth, big kudos to you for losing 70 pounds!!! Don't let your clothes deter you from continuing on your path. You're doing a great job and before you know it, you'll be a size 8!!! :smile:

Meh, no disrepect or anything, but I'm not gonna buy in to this theory. I like breakfast, and there is ample research to support the belief that a good, healthy breakfast of protein and a few carbohydrates really jump starts the metabolism. Besides, breakfast literally means "Break Fast[ing]." You're just prolonging the…

Nope - I must not have been clear enough (I was trying to not go into TOO much detail.) I lose weight every night - sometimes I lose less, sometimes I lose more. What seems odd to me is I seem to lose more overnight if I have a BIGGER dinner, but it's not entirely consistent. I'm doing some research now, and most of the…

Pics aren't workin' - edit the

I scrolled through this thread for ZERO pictures?!? Worse. Thread. Ever!

Worked for me - absolutely. I was doing 1400 calories (male, 215 pounds, 5'11") and stuck with weight loss. I upped to about 1900 and dropped 2 pounds the first day, and continued losing weight daily for nearly 2 weeks. I got stuck again, but have had some functions to attend that weren't exactly low-cal... I definitely…

Indeed is very good, as is SimplyHired.com

^^^^^^^^^ Beat me to it...

WTH - I'll chime in here... I have 31-32 left to go. It still seems like a lot frankly, but it's getting SO much harder to lose. Plus, it's this phase where opinions seem to become very black-and-white... "You need more calories. You need less calories. You need to work out more. You need to improve your diet..." Who the…

BAAAAHAHAAH!!! I love people who love screwing with other people's minds. You're a true inspiration. :) Thanks for the LOL!

Damn!!! I wish the 40 pounds I'VE lost had made me look as much better as you do... I tried a progress photo last night and after looking at it went, "Pff - ain't sharin' THAT one online either..."

Former temporary Zanesville, OH resident but LIFELONG PSU ALUMNI!!! Looking forward to whompin' you guys on the 27th... :wink: And good on you guys for learning how to spell your own state.... HAH!! :laugh: All in good fun.
