Two words. Yuengling Light. 99 Calories per serving. That and baked or grilled chicken breast instead of fried wings. Get the wing sauce on the side. Baked potato with only a little shredded cheese, or just butter and salt & pepper. You'd be surprised at how good those alternatives can be, and if you are even just a little…

If you like the Starbucks drinks, a lot of times you can have them "diet" it for you... like instead of ice cream base (Yeah that's what a lot of those drinks have as their main ingredient!), have them make it with skim milk instead. Then have them use sugar free syrups or sweeteners instead of the full sugar ones.…

I think I would have to create a healthy stash of treats that I could enjoy in place of the naughty ones... Like instead of having cookies and brownies at work, maybe have a granola bar with your co-workers. When they see your resolve to stick to your plan, they may stop or at least lighten up on their constant temptation.…

Way to rock it!!! You should post pics! I bet you look amazing!!!

I was LIVID when that TERMITE put his hands on little Judith... I wanted a walker to bust in and rip his face off!!! Glad to see that the old kick *kitten* Tyrese is back too... Almost cried when Daryl ran and hugged Carol... As for the rumors that the writers were going to rewrite his character as gay... Um NO, not after…

Here's a before and after shot of me in the same black fleece jacket...

HOLY COW!!!! You are rocking it!!!! Way to go!!!!! You even look younger too! AMAZING!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!!

yes and no.... My jeans size is a fairly good reflection of my overall health most of the time. It's certainly not the most important thing in the world, but I'll admit that the vain part of me would love to be a size 6 or heck maybe even a 4... but even if it never happens, I'm really happy and proud of where I am right…

Everything in MODERATION. Therre shouldn't be foods that you avoid only to binge on... Eat normal portions and LOG everything. You'll be fine.

I'll be teaching archery all weekend at a big NWTF JAKES event herein VA. Can't wait, it's always alot of fun, and I burn a TON of calories. but the down side is I don't get to hunt this weekend... Oh well next weekend for sure!

Well, I walk from time to time, and I golf as well. Plus the archery and outdoor stuff. I don't "workout" per se... I loathe the gym. For me it was all about finally controlling my food intake vs my activity level.

So I can be in shape to drag that monster buck out of the woods after I send my 85 grain Grim Reaper broadhead tipped Gold Tip Expedition Hunter 5575 arrow through it's vitals... Yeah I hunt and I eat what I hunt.

I think those are questions best asked of an endocrinologist and her OB/GYN. I have PCOS and endometriosis as well but haven't had the same PCOS related struggles with weight loss that others here have had. My understanding is that PCOS typically makes it very difficult to lose weight because of the effect it has on the…

First, you want to get down to the weight you were at when you were addicted to meth.... Please, please, please, talk to your doctor. I have a feeling that it may not be a realistic goal weight for you depending on your height and build. Better to get their input first than to be married to a number that isn't realistic or…

I think it's time to put away the mirrors for a while and focus on being a happier you. What makes you happy? Your SO? Your kids? Your dog? Exercise? Volunteer work? Whatever it is, spend time in that, invest in it. Feel good about you as a person first then you can start to see yourself in a more forgiving light. It…

Homemade tuna salad on a whole grain pita bread... NOM NOM NOM!! Next will be greek yogurt and macadamia nuts!!

THIS x10000000000000000000. seriously. Go to your doctor. If you can't get in with your primary care physician, go to the hospital emergency room. there are SIGNIFICANT underlying issues here that NEED to be addressed before you restrict yourself so dramatically. You need to develop a healthy relaitonship with food first…

I wish you luck with your plan, but have to wonder why you would want to spend that kind of money for a plan that will be difficult at best to maintain your goal weight on, rather than just losing the weight using a free plan like MFP. My BMI started out higher than yours and I've lost almost 75 pounds already with it. I…

First you ave to get the word "can't" out of your vocabulary. It isn't that you "can't" its that you HAVEN'T... yet. But You CAN if you make up your mind. Set small easily attainable goals. Lose one pound. Then lose 5. Once you break it down into more manageable bites, it gets easier. I would stay away from diets that…

My suggestion would be to try a more practical pet first... like a fish or a snake. Something you don't have to actually play with or pay attention to because it sounds like you wouldn't have time for that anyway. A dog needs companionship. Period. To deny them of that is just cruel.

totally do able... I started my current journey on January 8th, 2014. You can do it if you put your mind and effort to it. It won't come easy, in fact it will be danged hard. But nothing good ever comes easy. Now, go tell your trainer you are in it to win it. Good luck!

I just can't see spending the crap-ton of money that Weight Watchers charges when I can, and did, get the same or better results with MFP for free. Plus there isn't the paid public humiliation of weekly weigh-ins like there is with WW. MFP is a workable plan that you can adapt to fit your personal needs and food…

Are you using me pans? You might want to invest in some stoneware or cast iron pans. Once they are seasoned, they are non-stick naturally. Just a light spray or oil and food slides right out.

Sounds like at least a little OCD... put that thing away where you can't see it and don't weigh for a while. Gotta break the cycle. I used to weigh at least once a day too, it started being problematic for me if it didn't move.... Had to take a step back and rethink it until I got my head screwed back on straight.

Interesting... and well written. Thank you. I'll consider that, as well as look at your link. As for fiddling with TDEE, if it's so important and such a vital part of the weight equation, why doesn't MFP just include it as part of the app/website?

See, here is someone who understands how to be civil. I appreciate your post, and even if I don't follow the advice given in it, I appreciate the way it was given.Not preachy or coming across as having a "I'm more knowledgable than you are so listen to me" attitude. thank you.

Well if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is... You have a WONDERFUL day now!!!!!
