  • No, but I am not a big fan of mac and cheese either.
  • Actually TH's Boston Cream and Canadian Maple are really good. Some of my favorite donuts. Top Pot and Frost are great local donut companies, but the calories in their donuts are literally triple and not out of this world so much better to justify those calories. I'd rather have a small good whole donut then have to cut a…
  • I went to their site and saw the blackberry serrano and thought "OOH", but then looked at the NF and 300 cals for 8oz?? Um...yeah, I think will be making my own blackberry serrano for a bit cheaper than that. Thanks for the idea though, Noosa!
  • I lost weight not really counting calories for awhile. I just decided to 'eat healthier'. That was fine until I stalled about 50-60lbs in for 2-3 years between 210-220. Once I started calorie counting, the weight loss resumed and at a good clip until I lost nearly 100 more pounds. I'd love it if I never had to calorie…
  • Even if you do end up with loose skin (I have a ton - what a lifetime of morbid obesity does unfortunately), it is not, not, not the end of the world. You will still look fabulous, clothed, at least. Your health will improve dramatically. I know mine did. And not only that, you really don't realize just how much that…
  • Just throwing this out there: Cooking is a skill. You have to do it to get better at it. I have been cooking for years and consider myself and very good home cook, but even I still have my WTF DID I DO disasters where I feel bad for the plants and animals that had to die to end up inedible in my garbage can. It is part of…
  • I could be a fatazz vegan easy. Oreos, French fries, falafel, hummus, vegan chocolate, coconut anything, nuts, pasta, vegan sausage. There used (?) to be this Tumblr vegan blogger/artist (radfatvegan or something like that) who for a short time had a cooking YT channel. She was obese and unapologetic about it and the meals…
  • Between 120-130lbs (I'm 5'5") is what I look the best at and where I hope to maintain. I'm not sure I could maintain below that or that it would even make sense to. In theory, I think I could go all the way up to 140 IF I started lifting heavy. But seeing how I cannot get myself to seriously pursue lifting. Anyway, it took…
  • You misunderstand what we are discussing - 10k+ calorie challenge videos on YT have nothing to do with people gaining weight the usual way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgK0fPV6jlI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzjLJS71g70 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7OqkMtG0fo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1etzQKxBR68…
  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Costco's bakery cookies.
  • I have no idea how they put away all that food. As for the weight gain, well, many of them are YT fitness gurus so they know how to get it off. Plus when you do the math, let's say your TDEE is 2400 a day. You eat 10000 calories. You have to subtract 2400 from 10000 to get the net calorie count, so 7600. 7600/3500 is…
  • If I had to go without one for the rest of my life, the answer is hands down I would give up ice cream.
  • That looks good. We really like their chocolate almond one but can't always find it.
  • I'm meeting both my calorie and fitness goals for the week. Main objectives are creating a weekly 2000-3000 cal deficit (that I eat most back of on Fridays) and running about 25 miles a week.
  • Sunday: Grilled Yucatan Chicken Skewers, grilled corn on the cob, jicama slaw Monday: Fish burgers (Costco has BOGO pollack burgers), grilled corn on the cob Tuesday: Tomato, zucchini, spinach, and mozzarella casserole, whole wheat pita bread Wednesday: Tuna salad wraps, German potato salad Thursday: veggie stir fry…
  • Yes, that would be true in a country where the majority of the population is not already overweight or obese. Consider that "The latest research suggests obesity costs Canada's health system $6 billion a year." http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/obesity-s-global-costs-hit-2-trillion-a-year-report-suggests-1.2841782 No one is…
  • I can't relate. Minute I get home, there is only the opposite of relaxing. Dinner has to be made, showers taken, laundry done, dishes put away. No relaxing until dinner and then I am eating dinner.
  • I think when you are fat and young, you have the advantage of having a young body that can more easily cope with being obese. It hasn't had a lifetime yet to be wore out. However, carrying around that kind of weight does wear out your body much faster than normal. Hard on your joints and your heart and your liver.…
  • I can't relate. I love fish. Clams, shrimp, crab, lobster, squid, seaweed, and scallops too. Need to stop listing. I'm making myself very hungry! You don't have to eat it if you don't like it, but I do commend the fact that you are trying to make an effort to yourself to like things you thought you didn't like. I know I…
  • I don't mind kale, but don't use it in pesto. I had some leftover and was making some spinach pesto. Figured 'why not?'. Ugh, I ruined that batch and I don't even think I used that much relatively speaking. Nasty.
  • I hate watch that show. I find her extremely immature for her age. I have no idea how she thinks she is healthy and this weight is good when she can't even shave her own legs.
  • The food court has the calories listed, but the bakery is a minefield. I found that Costco bakery cookies are supposed to have 210 calories per cookie, but I can't find anything official to back that up anywhere and when people said they called Costco, Costco kind of shrugged their shoulders about not having any…
  • Single serving bag of sliced apples and a cup of homemade skyr.
  • OK, so I tried this on Friday and it was OK. I was hoping that there would be some chocolate chunks or something in it, but that's what I get for not reading the ingredients. You forget it is goat's milk until the finish where it has a slight goaty aftertaste. I thought it might be a bit stronger, but maybe it is tempered…
  • I love that show and also Supersize vs. Superskinny.
  • 2lbs is nothing to stress over. You are going to drive yourself insane. I have a maintenance range of 10lbs. I don't have the mental energy to agonize over every single fluctuation. If I go over the 10lb range, I go back to calorie cutting. Below, I eat more. But within the 10lb range, eh, who cares. My clothes do not…
  • Bag of apple slices and a Siggi's vanilla skyr that I bought on accident (meant to get two plain, but have one plain one vanilla). Oops, but it was good.
  • Tim Horton's Canadian Maple or Top Pot's Boston Cream or from most anywhere a chocolate sour creme or blueberry cake donut.
