I wish I could help . . . I know it is really hard to spot reduce, but you should try to incorporate strength training in with your cardio, regardless. Maybe someone can give a better answer?

Um... this sounds amazing! I'm going to make this for Vampire Diaries on Thursday!

I have started separating all of my healthy snacks into individual ziplock baggies. So, when my shows come on (Mondays and Thursdays are HUGE for me) I grab my snack and some water. Once its gone, its gone. I know I am still in my daily calories, because I have rationed out my portions. Also, I have memorized a 10-12…

Oh yum! I'm adding garlic powder and pepper next time!

but just looking at your original post, there is only an 80 cal difference from my guestimation, so maybe that is correct. I'm not a nutritionist or medical expert, so maybe it would be a good idea to contact your doctor just to be on the safe side.

I went into the database just to play around with the numbers. I guestimated at 440lbs starting weight and 190lbs goal weight, sedentary job. Initially, the lb per week loss was automatically set to GAIN 2lbs per week, and I received the 3900 number. When I changed it to LOSE 1lb per week, it decreased to 2900 cal/day. I…

You look great!!! Congrats!

I am going to try REALLY hard to get to the gym at 7am Saturday and cardio and strength training for a few hours.

I think I am going to make Fiber One Chicken Fingers (SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD). Does anybody have a good low cal Sangria recipe? I realize that sangria is not "footbally" but I still want it :laugh:

Thanks everyone! I live a few miles from my fav sushi spot, so i'm tempted to ALWAYS eat there. I'm going to really work on limiting my rice intake and eating higher calorie snacks.

Anybody?

L-M-A-O This is the funniest thing I have read all morning. It's crazy how advertisers target people!! :laugh:

I completely agree! Part of making a lifestyle change is learning how to do the things you love, in moderation and in more healthy/creative ways. Cheers :drinker:

I love this drink! AND I take a packet of splenda to sweeten it with :-)

You could: - Sub a cucumber roll for the california roll - Sub miso soup for wonton - Ask for brown rice with your entree (avoid the cream-based sauces and look for chicken entrees that are not fried)

Do you all mind opening up your food diaries so we can see good examples of clean eating? I really would like to transform my diet, but I honestly (and embarassingly enough) don't know how...

1315+5=1320

Thanks everyone!

How many calories are you burning? If you drop below 1200 for your net intake, you should at least eat them up to that point. You don't want to send your body into starvation mode. Just my opinion...

You look GREAT!! You def motivated me. My biggest struggle is expecting results. Let's work together!

Exactly. I know that it can be hard to walk away from a situation where you feel comfortable. And, to be honest, it is not easy. There will be nights where you will be lonely and questioning your decision. However, during this "crying" time, you will be growing stronger emotionally, gaining confidence, and, most…

Yaay! That's great :-D You already look amazing, but I am so glad that you are close to your goal. What an amazing accomplishment!!!:drinker:
