Great progress! Great attitude!:flowerforyou:

Doesn't get much better!

Low calorie does not equal zero calorie. Apples are good food but can be 70-90 calories.

In my humble opinion, it is easy to underestimate the true number of calories you are taking in, so opting for a relatively high number of daily calories is asking for trouble-- you have no wiggle room. Also, many of the MFPers who advocate eating more are utilizing bro-science. What works for a 25 YO man may not work for…

r? wdtm? dyse? t! gtwy!

Congrats on your weight-loss. Really! Great work! Just want to add that not everybody could eat those foods and lose weight. A common misconception among many MFPers is that everyone is like them. OP, you weighed over 500 pounds! You're male. You're youngish. We are not the same. I could never eat those things, not even a…

Yes! Out of control-- you can't stop yourself. You trudge back to the kitchen yet again with a sad face on because you know you should stop and want to stop but can't. Doesn't matter what the food is, it's a feeling. IMO.

Yeah, kinda? Look, OP, you're 23 years old. Do you know what the metabolism is like of a woman who's 61? I guarantee, you do not! But someday, god willing, you'll get there. Sure, everyone want s to be special and snag that prize, but let's not downplay the real, physical, metabolic differences that come with age, gender,…

Maybethe lock should be on one's mouth since you could go get food elsewhere.

I would love to do tire flipping. It looks like fun!

No, it makes you LOOK fat.

I would love to stop snacking at my desk. Do you have any helpful suggestions?

Oh wait. I just looked at the schedule. There's no way I'm gonna do that at my age, with my knees, and my work schedule. But you look super, OP!!! Good work.

WOW! I'm trying Turbofire. Whatever that is!

My home-made patty melt with tons of swiss cheese and fried onions, sweet potato fries (NOT home-made), and a jar of Nutella for desert.

I can't stand her! Her sneering, her lip-curl, her constant blather! When I do her videos now I put on music and silence the video.

Was gonna say!

Ooh! That's a great idea. I always add onion, celery and sweet relish to tuna, so those would be my choices. I am totally making this!

I tried it for 6 months and I liked it, but never felt noticably better or lost any weight because of it (unlike the young lady in the office next to mine who became all willowy as a vegan). I actually gained several pounds, somehow, which was discouraging.... But it did kinda change my perception of ordinary ol'…

Personally I love that muscle soreness I get after a good workout. I'm disappointed when I don't get it. Get a grip, person!

The Chunky Monkey recipe you may have seen here...? BARFFFF!!!!! Zucchini tots? They're OK but a lot of trouble for little reward plus DAYS spent trying to get the mini cupcake pan clean. Now, I DARE you guys to try my (I didn't invent it, just posted it) Gooey Chocolate Mugcake extraordinaire which has gotten ZERO…

They're approaching you cuz you're so hot. The lifting tips are just an excuse.

I thought burpees were more than squat thrusts b/c of the addition of (1) a push-up after getting in plank position, and (2) a little jump added to standing up from plank. Is this not so? This is how the extreeeeemly scary-fit Russian young ladies on YouTube do burpees.

I should be available in any health food stores, vitamin stores. You can buy it through Amazon, Drugstore.com, Puritan's Pride, any number of places. Senna is an herb. There are many different brands. It used to be marketed (in the US) as Dieter's Tea with Chinese-looking packaging.

I use senna tea. I can't stand not "going"-- feeling "full" like that sometimes makes me binge in fact. My SiL swear by flaxseed meal (2 T per day), says it changed her life. I have now gone through almost a pound of flaxseed meal and it does not do the "job" for me although I think it's beneficial in other ways. So I'm…

It didn't produce any notable changes for me either, tho' people rave about it. One of the things I really don't care for is that you don't know how many reps to do of anything....

The funniest part is that most of the MFPers telling you to eat more are 20-something YO MEN. Nobody can metabolize like a 20-something YO man. They burn calories like they're on fire. I don't know how any of them ever get fat. They have to be working hard at that! Anyway, size, gender, age, condition, lifestyle-- all play…

That's nice! (about the gas) Try some senna tea. Problem solved!
