I never would have thought of ebay, great idea! Thanks!

I've never found 38" inseam pants on clearance, ever. Most stores don't carry it.

I eat between 70 and 150 calories for breakfast, up to 260 for lunch, and 120 for dinner. Most of my calories come from the two to three snacks between meals, each of which is about 100 calories. I try the best I can to gets carbs from breakfast to lunch, and proteins from lunch to dinner and to maintain between 1200 to…

I could understand turning vegetarian over a high cholesterol issue, but what does high cholesterol have to do with animal rights ( vegan )? Or maybe you just thought vegan was a hip term for vegetarian, it's not just fyi. Vegetarians eat many foods a vegan would never touch like milk, cheese, yogurt, other dairy products,…

The OP should be thankful for her parents.

I heard this the other day... Weight loss / gain is 20% workout, 80% diet. My doctor says if you're feeling fatigued then you're overtraining and need to take a few days off to recover.

Was watching a tv show with a fitness guru to the stars and she said if you take your weight and cut it in half that's the number of ounces you're supposed to drink... Seems WAY excessive to me... Maybe if you weigh yourself in kilos... I still don't drink even that much water though.

I guess I need to redefine my question... Do you count coffee as positive water intake, neutral, or negative since it is a diuretic?

Thanks for all the advice. The shoes will have to wait a little while as I'll have to budget for them. I think I'll hold off jogging until then as well. I currently do more than an hour on the elliptical machine or walking briskly on an incline treadmill. As the weather warms up I'll do some hiking as well. Hopefully…

I'm down 40 but have 99 to go. I sent you a request, and hope others will send me requests as well.

The cost of fresh fruits and veggies... That my wife has filled the house with sweets and junk food and leaves it out all around me... That the 40 pounds I've lost looks like nothing in the mirror... That I'm still afraid to jog/run at my current weight...

My doctor told me to eat primarily carbs in the morning and primarily proteins at night, and that one thing was a game-changer for me.

If you're eating 1000-1200 and not losing any weight you either have a thyroid problem or (more likely) your metabolism has slowed down because your body has gone into starvation mode. To raise your metabolism, do short bits of exercise frequently, add high intensity intervals to your cardio routine, and break up your…

Pls send me an invite.

1200 is easy, just eat tiny portions of healthy foods throughout the day. Take a multivitamin to stave off being in any kind of vitamin or essential mineral deficit that causes burnout or binging.

Thanks, friend request accepted. Hey how do you get the little scale thing below your post that shows your goal and how much you've lost so far?

I weigh over 300 lbs and am averaging 1100-1200 a day, the trick is to eat teeny tiny portions frequently throughout the day so you're never hungry but also not taking in more calories than is necessary to satisfy you. If you want to lose weight, gotta eat fewer calories or work out a lot more and there's a limit to how…
