See a psychologist. No kidding; a psychologist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy can help you learn to control cravings. If your employer offers an EAP (employee assistance program) you can probably even get at least a few visits free.

Drink espresso. It's interesting to get used to but it really does have better taste. Much more so, try cold brewed coffee. It takes more grounds to make but it's this amazing flavor; not bitter at all. Of course, a shot of Jameson makes it better.

Hot. AND she likes pickles.

I've gotten back into the slim cut suits and I'm loving the looks I get. Next stop? SPEEDO. :laugh:

You could also start with logging one meal per day. For me dinner is the hard one to log. Or use the app to keep track of water intake. If you're using the smartphone app it becomes so much easier. You can also focus less on weight-related goals and more on logging-related goals, such as putting a quarter in a jar every…

did someone say cannoli?

best. thread. ever.

Sometimes people are afraid to say anything because they're afraid of retaliation. I do have a few friends who would not respond well - they would think I was calling them fat because I said anything. They probably ARE noticing but aren't saying anything. Talk with them honestly about it.

A lot of people say they're dieting and then eat junk. Even if you tell your boss you're dieting, he/she may not know how to respond. Honestly, don't feel like you HAVE to eat it. If your boss is so petty as to get upset about it, perhaps their good opinion isn't worth saving. You did tell them you're on a diet. On the…

You look awesome! Great work!

One of the keys is staying hydrated ALL the time. If I am not fully hydrated and I drink a lot before/during a workout I have to make some 4 trips to the bathroom later. On the other hand, if I'm doing my 8 glasses daily, I usually don't have too much of a problem with urinary interruptions. And the folks saying one glass…

Depends on the kind of rock. Lately when I really need to burn I listen to Machina: The Machines of God by the Smashing Pumpkins. It's pretty odd but the first few tracks are just right for when I need to get a little crazy. I have a punk station on Pandora that plays Ramones etc., and a Bruce Springsteen station when I'm…

Wow, looking good! What dedication!

I gained a bit over the weekend but dropped it without too much extra work. Blood pressure is down out of the hypertensive range, which was the whole thing that started this weight loss thing for me. SW: 208 CW: 187 No longer clinically overweight: 185 Goal: 175

I drink 16 ounces of water for every 20-30 minutes I spend at the gym (my workouts are 75-90 minutes); that helps me feel a little less ravenous. When I get home I eat brown rice and stir fry of some sort (last night it was zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms, and pinto beans with Sriracha satay sauce (sounds weird but it was…
