Right. I'm a weirdo and maybe I've posted this before but I can't remember. Here's how I eat my tuna: First, I eat mine chilled and for some reason it took me awhile to realize the best way of doing this was to just store the tuna in the fridge. So chilled can of tuna, open it. I don't even drain it. Dump it in a bowl.…

I think I'm a lot like you. About 200 lbs, always been a picky eater, not that interested in exercise, do nothing all day (only I have an even shorter walk and no stairs to climb). Anyway, in order to try to make this sustainable for myself I resolved to not do too much too fast. Completely changing my diet and starting an…

I got my first comment from my uncle at Christmas and I had lost about 15 lbs since I saw him last (started around 200). I personally don't think I look any different at all and I've had people ask me if I lost weight when I've actually put on 10 lbs and just took off a jacket.

I started in January and lost 10 lbs over 3 months. Stopped and gained it all back. Started again on October 20 and I've lost 15 lbs is 2 and a half months! So yay! I'm a quarter of the way there!

1. Check mail 2. Drop purse 3. Let puppy out 4. Get naked and weigh self, then put on house lounging clothes

I cooked up a box of it to try. It is bland - but then so is rice. Since I'm not fussed with nutrition atm (I'm not vegan or vegetarian or have any special dietary concerns) and it's approximately the same calories as other grain and grain-like options, I just don't see the point in paying more for it in my case. I mean,…

You look so much better already, especially in side view! Congrats on being overweight! (lol) I can't wait until I'm overweight again and not obese too!

No, I don't drink diet coke - mostly because I find it completely disgusting. However I do have at least one regular coke a day. Coke is one of the things I promised myself that I would never ever give up. And quite frankly cutting soda out of my diet isn't going to do much. I'm not one of those people who would sit around…

Tall mocha frappuccino, no whip. Only 180 calories!

I happen to find the big losses in water weight at first to be great motivation, even though I expect it to slow down. I think not losing any weight or even gaining weight at first like some people do would be very discouraging, so I'm thankful my body like to drop water weight like a hot potato, lol.

****, I'll hit on you, lol! Great job and good luck with the surgeries!

I had a mini hershey bar and one reeses peanut butter cup and only because they put out the good candy in the office for Halloween. Logged both and came in under calories so that means it's totally fine to eat candy yay! Anyway, chocolate is good for you in moderation.

I make this cream cheese chicken chilie in the crock pot. So good. I have one of the tiniest crock pots so adjust as needed. 1-2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 can black beans, drained 1 can sweet corn, undrained 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained 1 8 oz block of cream cheese (I've also used soft goat…

I definitely know what my hunger feels like when I'm hungry. It is PAINFUL. And I feel it in the back of my throat, not so much in my stomach. But I also know that if I ignore that hunger pain, eventually my body will sort of give up, and it will go away. Like no food is forthcoming, I guess I'll just thug it out. But…

I actually weigh myself around 5:30 pm - immediately after I get home from work. I do this mostly because I immediately take of all my clothes anyway, so that saves me the trouble of taking them off and putting them back on again at some other time, and also because I'm usually starving to death at that time. Whereas I…

My mother usually gets told that she reminds them of Roseanne Barr. Which she totally does. She's even loud and funny like her too (though I think perhaps not quite as abrasive). I, however, look remarkably like Olivia Scriven. (She plays Maya on Degrassi - my little sister is a big name fan that' why I know about her.)…

Oh jeez, way to shame me into keep going. I'm sorta on Day 3, which is to say I can't even get through the first circuit of Level 1. The first day I did it on a way too full stomach and incapacitated myself for several hours after just the warm up and strength on the first circuit. There was some vomiting. Decided to never…

• Gender: female • Age: 25 • Starting weight: 204.5 lbs • Current weight: 191.5 lbs • Goal weight: 135 • What are your reasons for wanting to lose/gain weight? Dammit this is shallow, but I want to be thin and sexy! I want to be able to wear a better range of clothes and look good in them. And I think I'd also like to be…

Weighing in almost daily helps keep me on track.

I don't think there's really an absolute number on too much protein. But I do think there could be a relative number of too much protein. Say, if like 98% of your diet was protein, you probably aren't getting enough fats or carbs.. But I don't think you can like overdose on protein unless you have a medical condition…

I had a much bigger problem with chicken breast. There's an option for the calories for the "yield of 1 lb" of chicken breast and it is GROSSLY low on calories. Like it says 132 calories for 1 lb of chicken breast. In reality a pound of chicken breast is 500 calories! Very annoyed when I figured out that the calories in my…

Me at my aunt & uncle's goat farm with their great pyrenees puppy, Chloe. My with my dad and their dogs Sandy & Bandit. (Just drag to your tab bar to see the whole picture.)

Personally I favor clean eating over paleo, and the reason is that I find paleo's premise that we should eat what prehistoric man ate because he hadn't domesticated anything to be completely ridiculous. Eating things as whole and unprocessed and possible and having it grown or raised in a natural way makes sense to me. But…

Lettuce. I can SMELL lettuce. Everyone always thinks that is totally bizarre but I can. And anything it touches it contaminates with it's lettuce taint. I dislike broccoli for a similar reason - the smell is awful and once I was at a restaurant and both of the people I was with got the standard side of broccoli.. the smell…

You ate an entire banana bread and you are still under calories? Then everything is totally fine! But the fact that you think this is a problem and that you want to make yourself vomit is something you should seek help for.

Well good for you for sticking to your guns. I realize one slip up won't put you right back where you start, but at the same time I don't want any cheat days at all. It's too easy for me to just write them off and it's a slippy slope back to my old habits. I specifically designed my own program to reward being consistent…

Yeah, this is a thorn in my side. I gained about 3 pounds almost immediately after starting so now my stupid progress thing says that I've lost 7 or 8 pounds when I've really lost over 10 now. (It wasn't a fluctuation.) I can see how that would be irritating if you had lost quite a bit, then gained it back and now the…

Lol no, too much protein isn't unsafe at all. Don't worry about it unless you have a medical condition that is exasperated by high levels of protein.

I weigh before. There's simply no way to weigh it after if you're making something like, oh, a chili or casserole. It's all cooked together. How do you know exactly how much cheese vs how much chicken you have without totally destroying it? It's a totally futile endeavor in a chili. So glad to know that I've been doing it…

Yeah, you'll probably want to cut out the breakfast sausage. Sausage and related meats (pepperoni, salami, etc) were preserved with salt originally. You may want to switch to fresh/unprocessed meats. My mother had something similar happen and it was due to her ingesting large quantities of salted pistachios. She can only…
