As many goyim don't track on Christmas Dinner, so it is with me and the Seder. I've never had any long-lasting gains from doing that, I say just enjoy yourself. That, Thanksgiving, and my birthday are my three "days off" a year.

Married femme lesbian!

How did you come to gain weight? A dear friend died and I threw myself into running, not eating, and drinking heavily. My weight was the one thing I could control. I got down to 103 pounds, which is underweight for my height. I got therapy, which was great and saved my life, but in trying to repair my body, I got up to 200…

ahahah same, I was like, "Listen a mint chocolate chip klondike bar (my fav) has 230 cal in it, and I've had worse breakfasts" But in all seriousness, I feel you on the judginess of grandmothers, mine is OBSESSED with her weight, and my mother's, and mine, and feels the need to comment on the 'badness' of what we're…

I bank for the weekends, so I can have a little more flexibility, and for example, this week, I could sense that I really needed a cut loose sort of day, so I banked hard AND am eating at maintenance today--I already feel better, I may not even hit maintenance, but oh, every couple of months I guess, I need a day like this…

No worries, friend, no worries. I went to an all-inclusive resort recently, for my honeymoon. I did not log or track, and in fact gave myself carte blanche. I ate and drank everything. I drank alcohol all day every day for 8 days, ate jalapeno poppers, dessert every night. I gained 9 pounds. Only not really. Remember that…

My bentos are always at or under 300 calories. I'm mostly a night eater. My bottom tier is always veg: I weigh it all every day but it's usually like 21 grams cherry tomatoes, 35 carrots, 30 broccoli, 20 cauliflower, etc. And then a sauce cup full of yogurt dressing. The rest I mix up. My top tier today is blackberries and…

I would avoid that in future by picking maybe one thing you *love* a day, if they really are known for their food. That would help me, even if it's less in my goals than usual, and then I can feel controlled and yet not deprived, which would lead me to do the same thing and splurge on things I don't even love!

No, I get it my thing is that men left me alone when I'm just trying to have a drink or go grocery shopping or whatever, I miss that.

I've lost 68 pounds continuing to go out to eat and drink and such--I suggest weekly calorie counts v. daily for that. I mean, you certainly don't HAVE to, but I knew early on that I needed this to be something maintainable, and for me, not going out with friends a couple times a month is not sustainable. I do, however,…

Vegetarian option is gonna be, at least once, cheese and pasta, if history is any indication. So no, not always a healthier choice. I mean, you might be able to call and ask what the plans are, I always do because I don't eat pork, and I rarely have an issue--usually they'll put me in touch with the vents coordinator.

Same, life is too short and I have no problem losing doing this.

Drinking two glasses of whiskey a night. And it wasn't even like most people--I liked whiskey more than food, not the other way 'round, and so I would sacrifice something like 650 calories to have two glasses. Decided that may be technically doable, but it's also stupid, and I'm gonna get malnutrition, so I now have one…

Yes a thousand times yes. It was so much better for me when I stopped fighting myself and what I'm like--I love a snack at like 11 pm. It's so much easier and happier for me to save 200-300 calories for that snack, and I enjoy it so much more than I ever enjoyed eating breakfast, which I was on the sad impression you "had"…

I just got back from an 8 day vacation at an all-inclusive in Mexico. I didn't even try to be on plan, I never take these kind of vacations, I ate my weight in jalapeno poppers and drank all day every day and it was amazing. I got back and I'd gained 9 pounds. Except I've been back a week and lost 7 of those. (and I caught…

A broth based soup is usually pretty decent, calorie-wise.

Weekly calorie count/calorie banking versus daily. Getting out of the mindset of getting slim for an event. This is a thing that's gonna take as long as it's gonna take, and it has to be for me, not for a wedding or a vacation or whatever. I think that only leads to disappointment.

I love the So Delicious Coconut Milk. The Strawberry is like 480 calories or so a pint, it tastes really good, and it's my go to, but all the flavors I've had are great.

I don't? I make room elsewhere, or bank calories, or work out extra. I mean, if you're drinking to beat the band, that's one thing, but I've lost more than 60 pounds without giving up drinking.

I don't eat pork at all, so that's an easy ask for me. I make slowcooker chicken stuff all the time. I love these: http://skinnyms.com/slow-cooker-fiesta-chicken-soup/ http://skinnyms.com/slow-cooker-polynesian-chicken/ http://www.skinnytaste.com/2015/09/orecchiette-pasta-with-chicken-sausage.html

Sometimes, when I crave it. It's not too hard for me to work it into my calories, personally, though some people don't find the calories worth the reward.

I've done Rose from Titanic and other stuff, but I always come back to Michiru--she's my favorite, since I was little. part of the reason I'm sewing school uniforms right now is so my wife will be Haruka with me!

I cosplay as Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune. Actually working on her school uniform right now!

Logging everything I eat, with a scale, every day. For me to do this, my diary needs to be closed. Now that I'm in a normal BMI, Libra helps me see small trending changes. I've lost 68 pounds. I started at 5'3'' 200 pounds, I got down to 145 over eighteen months or so, and maintained for a year and a half, then decided to…

I bank for the weekends, but as has been said here, I'm a pretty tight logger--weigh all my solids, measure liquids, etc, so for me it's a really easy and great way to enjoy flexibility.

My diary is closed because I doubt I would be as on the level as I am if it were open to comment. If I ever asked the community why I wasn't losing or something, I would open it.

Make it easy on yourself with prepwork. I'm a legal assistant and some days are just wild, so I prep a piece of salmon in some marinade, so when I get home it's like 10 minutes in a pan and done, some minute rice, call it a day, have room for a cookie or something. At work on busy days, I have a protein shake in the…

What does "a downhill mess" entail? What are you eating during the day? Calorie goal? Height and weight? General goals? I mean, I ate salmon with a salad and some naan for dinner, but just telling you that isn't very helpful if I'm not sure what the trouble is.

Depends on the day and my cravings. I eat a ton of salmon and tuna, some chicken, sometimes Taco Bell ahaha.

I hate the term cheat, I'm not playing a game here, I'm living my life. I've been doing this for years, and lost an maintained 60+ pounds off, and I always bank for the weekend, so i can have an indulgence or two. I think, for me, not being able to have those meals or days or whatever would make this impossible to do for…
