I just recently learned that there's a butcher shop near me that has over 2,000 types of hot sauce! I stocked up now I have about a dozen bottles in my fridge with names like Scorned Woman and Tongue Torch. My favorite is habanero. I also use sriracha sauce like ketchup, and for Indian food I love me some vindaloo!

So the only two choices in your mind for women looking at you are "They want me" or "They envy me"?

Oooh, I've got a doggie success story too! (My dog Hammie, who was obese when I adopted him): SW: 30 CW: 18 Diet plan: Raw food, salmon oil and trips to the dog park. It took 9 months to lose the 12 lbs.

I buy online and will pay a little extra for convenience (Amazon and eBay for the most part), but if the shipping is too high then I'll get my lazy *kitten* in the car and go drive somewhere to buy it. For large items I always look for free shipping, or free ship-to-store so I can go pick it up. For specialty items like…

Congrats! I was at 200.8 on my last weigh-in...I can taste Onederland but it takes about 10 days for me to lose a pound so I won't see it for a while.

BRZ or FR-S? They definitely have the looks, but not so much the performance. I'm saving up for this: Yeah, I know. As they say on Top Gear - people only buy Caymans because they can't afford the 911. Its true. As for your 1996 Mitsubishi...firing up the judgment machine: Guy that got married and had kids so he can't buy a…

Volvo sedan: Grandpa's here! Audi Quattro: Middle-aged business man, still has a little "cool" left in him. Mini Cooper: Insufferably pompous prick. I'd go with the Audi, personally. :)

Off topic, but I read somewhere that Ray Charles (who was quite the ladies man and had children by 9 different women and cheated on his wife on a regular basis), upon meeting women would shake their hand and then with his other hand would grasp their arm to gauge if they were overweight. So even a blind guy didn't want fat…

Are you weighing and logging everything you eat? I ask this because prior to starting MFP I thought I wasn't eating that much, but I was very wrong. People in general are terrible at estimating how much they're eating. You've got to write it down to really know.
-
Each serving is 4 ounces, not one breast. According to the label you provided, 1 breast = 2 servings (12 servings per bag of 6 breasts) or 8 ounces per breast. If you eat 2 of them, you're eating 16 ounces so 92 grams of protein, 440 calories. It's much easier if you just use a scale to measure the food weight and…

Oh my God, it's a mirage, I'm tellin' y'all it's sabotage.

I noticed when I was comparing my nakey progress photos that I actually looked a little better at my starting weight than I do now - it's the deflation effect. :/ But I know it's just part of the process - I have to make stops in Droopville and Lumpytown before I get to my desired destination. Sometimes it has to get worse…

You're too late, kcarl. Everyone was posting pictures of their naked boobs but then the moderators came in and took them all down...

I'm a 38DD and I haven't noticed my bras fitting any differently yet in the cup, but tonight after I changed into my pajamas I was walking around and felt...I don't know, kinda floppy I guess and it was bugging me so I went and put on a Ahh Bra. This may be the first sign of deflation. :(

Maybe try dieting OR exercise at first - changing everything at once is too overwhelming for some. Also, I've found that my binges came when I tried to restrict my eating too much, like the 1200 calories a day that MFP recommends for just about every woman that checks that "2 lbs per week" box (and we all do at first). If…

I think some doctors that give out medical marijuana cards will do it for just about any reason that the patient names. Yes, there are legitimate needs, but most everyone I know who has one is just a recreational user with a nebulous "condition" that they kind of made up on the spot. Headaches? Occasional constipation or…

Yep. My pants are getting loose in the butt but they're still pinching me in the waist. :/ We don't get to pick in which order it comes off, unfortunately. But I know it'll come off eventually if I just keep going.

"My boyfriend/husband treats me like crap - what should I do?"

Your previous three posts are regarding your hypothyroidism that you were recently diagnosed with. You'll get better advice from fellow people suffering from the same problem (which you've already asked for and been answered) or your doctor.

Lately I've been getting into Greek salad - chopped up raw cucumbers, tomatoes, and sweet onion topped with Girard's Greek Feta dressing (50 cals per tablespoon). Really easy and tasty!
-
On Wednesday for lunch I had a french bread tuna sandwich with barbecue kettle-cooked ships smashed inside, and a package of mini Nutter Butter cookies. 1,232 calories. :/ I only had cucumber salad for dinner so I still stayed under 1500 calories for the day.

Jack Lalanne lived to be 96. I've always assumed that the bodybuilders and pro wrestlers who die young can generally be blamed on steroids.

I personally meant more body fat. Like, strong and muscular but with a nice coating of squish. I don't want to feel like I'm hugging a bicycle.

It's a software thing. The person typed in ALL CAPS and either their Word program or this forum converted it to just capitalized first letters. But yeah, doing it on purpose would be a lot of hitting that shift button!

You look 10 years younger!

Of the two, the rock climber. But he's a bit skinny - my ideal would have a little more meat on him. Refer to the Man Candy thread. ;)

is 2,012 your BMR or TDEE? BMR is the minimal calories that your body uses to just function. TDEE is the full amount of calories that your body uses on average day of activity. For instance, my BMR is 1,580 and my TDEE is 2,070, so TDEE -20% would be 1,656 calories per day.

From your original post it seemed like you were having trouble figuring out what your calories should be set to. As most everyone pointed out, you're eating too much for there to be a deficit based on lifestyle you've described. Counting every little thing you do as exercise (and probably overestimating the burn as well -…

My highest weight was only 19 lbs ago and I remember it well. lol What I'd gotten into was eating small meals and then using that to justify eating high calorie snacks in between. It was quite an eye opener when I started logging everything.

Roasted veggies (not potatoes though) - eggplant, squash, broccoli, caulifower, beets, mushrooms. Sprinkle with minced garlic and/or your favorite herbs or seasoning, but no oil. A green salad with vinegar, lime or lemon for dressing, again no oil.
