how did you get rid of your stretch marks?

i am. was in toronto, now in london.

god, that was SO sad, and what's worse is the comments on that you tube video. people are such *kitten*. i hope he's able to lose the weight again and keep it off, and his girlfriend is awesome for standing by him when things got tough.

no one "pushes" food on me, but they are rather unsupportive. before i started this diet, people would rarely bring me snacks and would sort of hint that i was overweight, and now that they all know i'm trying to eat healthy, they bring over junk galore. the other day, my sister literally brought over 2 kinds of dip,…

ditto. i also use measuring spoons/cups.

good question, i have a lot of trouble figuring that stuff out. for example, when weighing a chicken breast or strips that come frozen, do you weigh it frozen, raw, or once it has been cooked?

a whole medium pizza, a bag of cookies, chicken dippers with dipping sauce, and potato chips.

croutons. one serving of those tasty little bad boys (literally 6 small croutons) is like 50 calories. i used to dump those things in a salad.. now they're just not worth it for what you get.

i enter it in once a week, regardless of whether i lose, gain or maintain.

i did a weight loss program with a trainer that aside from eating healthily, was solely lifting heavy. i was instructed not to do any cardio because my body would be too tired after the lifting, and it worked. the weight melted off. i wouldn't want to do that as a long term program mind you, but people who say you don't…

haha, me too. i love the veggie and cheese on italian with lots of veggies and light mayo. haven't been since i've been trying to lose weight though, so i think when i do i'll do away with the mayo, and go for the 6 inch.

something like 50% or more (i forget the percentage) of the calories you eat are still absorbed by the body when you throw up, intentionally or not. i think that's why many people with bulimia stay around the same weight.

hey, i'm 30, 5'3, my start weight was 242, and currently 230 something. goal is 140, feel free to add!

ditto. :(

i have no helpful advice to offer you cause i know essentially nothing about weight loss, but good luck on your midterms and i hope you can overcome this slump.

i just escaped the hell hole that is t dot!

what a great story, i love your doctor! congrats on the weight loss, and good luck on any future losses~

awesome, congrats so far!!

i weigh once a week, when i wake up on friday's. sometimes i can't resist the urge and i get on the scale a couple times during the week and it's ALWAYS a mistake. it always says i've put on a few pounds and then i freak out, but by friday it's always back down. :)

down 2.6 lbs this week!

what do you guys mean a deficit is already built in? i thought that the 3500 calories you're supposed to eliminate every week was supposed to come from both a calorie deficit and exercise?

3 meals, and 2-3 snacks.

i always find it odd when women get totally naked and walk about the change room, from the showers to the hair dryers to the bathrooms, and so on. it's a change room, people are going to get naked, but it's weird to me when people walk about the place *kitten* naked.

avocado and seafood.

ugh, get over it. it's not a swear word. anyway, i love subway, i don't get the hate either. it's a great alternative to high-fat, greasy fast food.

only down 0.6 lbs. :( let's keep our heads up, ladies!

do all the diet pills out there make you crap out the fat? i was on xenical once, and that's what it did, just wondering if other pills do different things.

is that true that fat acts as a layer of insulation?

boo, hiss!

warm, fattening drinks: caramel apple ciders, mochachinnos, french vanilla lattes, hot chocolate..... etc.
