Kinda know where you're coming from. I'm actually not a big fruit-eater, but have honestly had to just force myself to eat them. Up until last week I had avoided bananas like the plague... I've had 1/2-1 banana every day since then. You may have to think of vegetables as "medicine" for a while until you find some ways to…

Had someone say, "I feel like every time I see you, you get thinner!"

Pizza. Red velvet cake/cupcakes.

Pure Cardio is the shortest disc :-) (other than the recovery, that is...)

Oh man, this thread isn't helping me right now... I don't like bananas but I'm trying to eat some foods that are more nutritious and balance me out--and I have 1/2 banana sitting in front of me! Welp, down the hatch...

You're supposed to put it ON something...? Like, other than a spoon?

Wednesdays are my rest days. Sometimes I don't mind taking another rest day to help keep myself honest with my calorie intake.

If ice cream says "no sugar", "low-fat", "low-sugar", "no-fat", etc, I DON'T WANT IT.

Considering my progress and the weight I still have to lose, I don't think I can afford a "free day". A "free" day for me would consist of pizza and ice cream... and that's just breakfast. I don't mind "cheating" on a meal or two once in a while. But "cheating" for me means getting a burrito instead of a burrito bowl at…

Maybe some candied walnuts...?

Want to get my weight down to 240 lbs by September 2.

I can't wait to start giving away my clothes!! Just this weekend I tried on a couple shirts that used to be snug in the mid-section. Plenty of room now. :-) Shoot, even more, I can't wait to go clothes shopping!!!!!

See the bolded part. That's EXACTLY what needs to get squared away.

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE food. :-) I also LOVE my own cooking. This is why the app is here--so that you see exactly what you're putting in yourself. I've said this a whole bunch of times, and I'll keep saying it--I use my calories like currency, and literally have to budget them out. To some extent, I work out so that I can…

Definitely this. However I know that if I let up, the weight is guaranteed to come back cuz I love food too dang much!

1. Makes the wife happy 2. Need to slim down for hockey 3. Never been "thin" or "slim" before, want to see how much I can lose! I'm actually at the lightest I've been in my adult life.

Mayoneggs and cornballs

I think it's great that you're getting started on SOMETHING! That's the point--do SOMETHING. We all have not had the luxury of being taught what to do in a workout. I'd give you the same advice as Tony and Shaun T would--Keep pushing play. I will also say make sure you log your calories, no matter how mundane it becomes. I…

I didn't start seeing serious losses in weight until I started logging my caloric intake paired with working out. It caused me to really look at what I'm putting into myself and spend my calories much more wisely. Log EVERYTHING and figure out a way to control the urge to fill up the plate/bowl again if you can't afford it…

Bump. Seriously!

Take the bun and the fries away and low-carb that sucker, LOL!

When you can't strap into rides at amusement parks... :-(

All I can think of is Scorcher 6...

Here's the thing: It's going to take drastic measures to lose 15 lbs in a month. No one on here is on Biggest Loser. Not saying it can't happen, but if your plan is to lose 15 lbs in a month then you need to make sure you have a plan afterward so that you don't gain it all back. The most sure-fire way is to slowly make…

Grilled peanut butter and nutella sandwich. Snap.

Okay, I'm loving the ideas of the sweet potato hash and the pancakes... I'll have to try some other methods as well. I tried some sweet potato fries over the weekend at a restaurant and made some Alexia fries last night which were amazing. I kind of like them seasoned with this smoky grilling seasoning... I'll probably try…

I just got turned on to sweet potatoes over the weekend. Funny, my mom used to make sweet potato pie as a kid and I NEVER touched the stuff... ugh, now I'm curious, lol! But yeah, pretty sure potatoes in general gotta be put on a leash when it comes to watching the food intake.

For one day, no. Two days is unforseeable.
