Always have a bottle of water on hand and and some healthy snacks available .. fidgety and thinking of food? ... slug down some water and have a few nuts or grapes or carrot sticks or something. Or have junior sized candy bar and repay your calorie count later with a jog.

Either you are ready or you arent ready. You said a couple of times that you arent ready to do xyz. Friends will be over, it will be this holiday or that holiday, it will be a birthday or a vacation, or a dinner meeting. There is always going to be a "situation". If you are truly ready start now , make the changes now. If…

My walk to the bathroom was heavy walking, my walk back was light walking.

Yes. I am too.. but you are in the right place to change it.

I dont log anything thats not a moment where I am actually in the process of "working out". Cutting the grass.. cleaning..washing the car.. walking to the restroom 6 times a day.. to me thats all just incidental activity.. yes it burns some calories, but thats just everyday life. Now , if I was chopping wood for 3…

Some people need a reality check... every time someone says something that you dont agree with or makes a comment that doesnt sit well with you it doesnt mean they are jealous of your "strength" or they are "hating on you". Use some of that determination and strength to better your self image , you will realize that the…

There are people that have become so obsessive about things that its ALL they talk about. I have one friend, I swear, I know every exercise he does, every day at crossfit from his facebook posts. Theres only so much you can say in response, so maybe my silence on his posts of what he is up to has his undies in a bunch, but…

Some people think they are the first person in the world to lose 20 pounds and want some kind of award...it can go both ways. LOL

You seem overly worried about what everyone around you thinks. Whether they are calling you "lucky" or not patting you on the back, dont let it bother you, are you trying to get fit for them or for yourself?

...or it was just a silly comment made by someone trying to be humorous. Dont take everything so literal! :) Obviously this person knows that you didnt just get lucky and grow "guns" out of thin air. Its a silly comment acknowledging that you are in great shape, right?? Am I missing where all of these people are secret…

I am so lucky that I dont let peoples casual conversation comments bother me. ;-)

^^ End of thread, pack it up..move on, go home folks.. nothing to see here.. . :)

OMG honey, you have to eat more.

That about covers it, and this post will do no good. ;-)

Well..sounds like he is happy.

Soldier, he isnt a soldier yet, if you have passed any reading comprehension tests in your time in the military ,THEY have failed at training you properly. ;-P J/K with ya!

I know everyone is telling you unsafe,, unhealthy, not doable. But its totally doable.. you can shed massive amounts of water weight FAST.. its not something you SHOULD do, but its not going to kill you if you are relatively healthy. We used to do it to make weight in wrestling all of the time. I'm not going to go into the…

Me too. Probably in a different way... ;-P

I am so pissed at liquor.. I went to the bar once and did a bunch of shots and got wasted. It sucks that you cant go to a bar and not get bombed these days.

How about keep a supply of low cal/healthy foods on hand that will keep you within you caloric goal. You know.. apples..celery sticks , carrots, a banana.. whatever.

Is this different than 1st shift snacking... seriously confused to what 3rd shift snacking is! :)

Its been a slow day... maybe people just wanted something silly to fight about rather than the usual "I ate xx calories for a week and gained/lost XX pounds, am I in starvation mode?" ;-) \ ?

Yeah unfortunately we all get things that may not be exactly what we want..hopefully the giver is cool enough to be fine with a little nudge in the right direction for next time. :)

"Uh, honey, this is a caramel Cadbury Egg, I like the cream ones, thanks anyways, you're the best." **kiss kiss hug hug** Life continues. Is there some underlying reason its not as simple as that? If I had to tiptoe around something this simple in a relationship i would be out. :-P

Take that $25,000 and find a weight loss ranch somewhere.. go for a few weeks and learn how to eat and exercise. Not "hating" on you.. just throwing it out there. :)

Right, the guy said he didnt become obese on 1200.. but 1201.. he was making a joke. :-D

I think the 1200 +1 was the sarcastic part. My detector didnt go off right away either. :-D

Oh No.. she used the words addiction and fast-food together.. be prepared for the onslaught! ;-P If you can swing it, just eat less.. you'll be fine. :)

I apologize if this comes off bad.. but you could eat 700-800 calories of lard every day and not get as heavy as you say you were. You must have measured something very wrong. :)

I used to look at MY caloric recommendations with some disbelief too.. then I put it in the perspective of "Well.. I MUST have been eating a lot more than this to get this big" .. then I bought a food scale it it all became apparent. :)
