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. :)

I think if you are getting in enough water your body will be naturally flushing the extra sodium intake.. if you generally DONT get enough water ,up your intake and the retained water should shed over a couple of days.. but really.. concentrate on getting enough water on a regular basis, water is the key to every function…

Maybe someone switched your clothes.. I remember on the Brady Bunch, the kids switched Bobby's pants out for shorter ones when he was trying to stretch himself by hanging in the closet. Kidding of course.. but if you are feeling good and positive, then thats a good thing! Personally, i never put any weight (<--) into ANY…

He might not have figured that out on the site yet, he has only been a member for 6 days. /shrug.. who knows.

Chocolate milk, a rice cake and some almonds for "din-din"? Count me OUT! Hey, if it works for you though...I just couldnt do that and think it was in anyway sustainable.

Well..you can be as smug as you want..obviously the guy trying to lose 68 pounds (according to the counter) has always been in charge of his food intake rather than having some sort of problem controlling himself. I am sure you have a logical reason..like you WANTED to be 70 lbs overweight..so hey..I commend you for…

You are right.. I deleted my last bit.. you just sounded "all over the map" sorry! You are frustrated and I apologize for reading it wrong.

I choose not to.. RIGHT NOW.. Im bringing my own food to eat at work and enjoying it.. my co-workers are great and reject me in no ways..lol, I have no idea where your "Bat signal" and "rejection of my peers" idea come from. , I just choose to make my lunch and log it the night before as I get myself into a better physical…

Some people have no issues with food and eating as a group is an age old form of bonding and can be a great thing. So yes, to many it is a big deal.. Im in the same boat as you.. I need to lose weight and to reign myself in so I miss out on some of the outings/potlucks at work because I cant do it RIGHT NOW. I will when i…

You know what you have to do.. nobody here is going to tell you anything to get you motivated if it isnt inside of you. Read your post over and over again until it sinks in how sad you are right now and realize there is nothing that is going to fill that void but happiness. Not food, not self doubt, not self pity. Just do…

You have to plug the babies height ,weight and activity level into the calculator in addition to your own to get the proper TDEE. (dont do this)

Are you eating a stick of butter with your beer???

Most people will say that cement weighs more than feathers too.. it isnt worded right but everyone knows what they mean.. People like to rush in and try to correct these "idiots" because it makes them feel.. better..superior.. I dont know.. it does something for them though. LOL

This is my routine.. Friday gives me an overall picture of how i am doing..its far enough removed from Sat night that I have time to burn of all of that excess. :)

You look great and in very good shape.. your arms are pretty ripped ..love the headband too. The girl looks good too.

Ill give you the rest..but its a known fact zombies never get tired. :(

Could be too much sodium in those processed foods causing you to retain water. Eat clean and get a sweat up for 5 days and check your results. :)

Yeah, but it seems many people are convinced if you eat 1200 calories a day for a week you will go into some uncharted state of existence where you will actually start gaining weight.. which I find ridiculous. (BTW- Im not eating anywhere as low as 1200.. this wasnt a search for why I am gaining.. I was trying to figure…

Thanks for the write up "doc". But I was really just trying to figure out why all of these people comment that "You arent eating enough" when someone pops in stating they are gaining weight on a low cal diet.

Based on your avatars, you have no idea what you are talking about. /dismiss LOL J/K

I understand that to be the LONG term danger.. but people who havent lost weight in 2 weeks are certainly not all in this "starvation mode" , they cant be, it doesnt make sense.. but sure as the sun rises.. everyone that posts that they have gained weight last week while eating at a deficit are bombarded by "you arent…

My original post was kind of pointed at advice like this.. Starvation mode by just waiting until you are hungry to eat? Even in my limited knowledge , I KNOW this is way off base. Sorry if this sounds bad, but just throwing out misinformation like this without any merit behind it is the worst part about trying to slogging…

haha.. I guess I should have left that line out.. Ive seen some people get lambasted for simple questions.. I felt no "snark". :)

I think the better question is; Has caring about another persons choices gone too far?

Is there really a size "36 Long" or is someone pulling my leg?

I seriously doubt that YOU are in the thoughts of the people behind you in line.. get over yourself. Maybe you are HOPING that they are considering your size and food choices.. but I think its just your over active ego. Sorry to be blunt.

I thought you meant Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears.. I was thinking.. "hmm.. he doesnt LOOK that big on TV" then I clicked on your link. LOL

Make sure you are drinking enough water.. also potassium deficiency can lead to cramping.. eat a banana a day. :) (or white bean, dark leafy greens ,apricots)

You already know the answer, I thought it was a rhetorical question.. or just a post to complain or try to incite some kind of negative response. But anyways.. you are losing weight because you have a ton to lose and are eating less on your journey downwards than you ate on your journey upwards. :) I dont think your story…

I dont know who these people are that are telling you you shouldnt be losing weigh.. it should be EASY for a 300+ pound woman to lose weight.. hell.. it was easy for the 310 lb man I used to be to lose weight. Its not rocket science. I would suspect you will want to reevaluate your snack cakes, pizza, gravy, potato chip…
