Good for you, I gained a lot of weight the last year I was married because we were sooooo unhappy. I have always been big since puberty, and now (past 2 years) has been the time I've focused on me. I haven't had too many experiences like this, but I do occasionally get people who are rude when I don't want to gorge myself…

If I were a dude, :)

I can't see you soooo I hope you like Drew Barrymore. :D

young!

hmmm.......I've never been on a date. I married my high school sweetheart and got divorced about 3 years ago. My relationship didn't include dates really and we met through a friend. So I've never asked or been asked this question. I don't think its rude per say, but I guess it depends on the tone and way in which it is…

Don't use the scale at first. I agree with making small changes. I've lost about 60 pounds in the past 2 years. Mostly by just changing what I eat. I didn't have a scale at first because I just didn't want to see the number. But I know that I was heavier and am shorter than you are. You will feel more confident once you…

Agreed. I have heard you should eat 1 gram of protein per pound. If you are looking for weight loss than you need to minus about 20% of that so .8 grams per pound. That gives me a goal of around 140-150 grams per day. I started trying hard to reach that goal (not always even close, but I DO eat a lot more protein now)…

hahaahaa! Thanks for all the info guys! This is awesome. I never expected this thread to boom like this. :D

Yeah, I thought I was in the okay, but when I am constantly seeing an overage like that it could be something that worries me. I'm still losing, so I wasn't too concerned, but just got to thinking about it today.

Nope, no diabetes.. :) I am pretty healthy. But I do love bananas.

Thanks, Just wanted to get a general idea of others' thoughts. :)

I don't know really. I don't think its I want high-card....I wouldn't burn them off as quickly as I eat them. But they do tend to be higher in calories than lean fish and whole grains are pretty good source of fiber which is also something i try to think about. I'm still new to the idea of really planning meals since I…

thanks......I will give it a try. eggs and nuts are fairly easy to get around here. I will try adding in more eggs to the diet. :)

Honestly the timing for me isn't a big big issue. I have to wake up about 5am to work out before I go to work and still have time for shower and meal packing. So if I wake up late then breakfast just comes after. Yes, I have a scale that is accurate and calibrated and I weigh everything before I pack it up so I know how…

I actually found this tonight.....is it accurate to say you should eat 1 gram of protein per pound? Is this goal weight or current weight? Because I don't know if even with protein powders I drink I could eat 171 grams of protein a day.

for example today....this is literally what I ate today. I felt like I was eating all day to make it to 1227......I could up my calorie count by eating more Taiwanese food, but I really don't care for the cuisine. Mostly pork, fatty (like chunks of fat in broth), and oil heavy. Any suggestions on eating more good calories?

This is mainly because I have pushing to find more things to eat with carbs such as whole wheat cous cous. But these are things I have brought back with me from the states. The supply is running low. I am very accurate on the days I post what I eat. But I know once I use up my supply it will be hard for me to maintain…

I actually am just getting into the swing of tracking.....I tend to forget to add in my dinner because that is when I am prepping my meals for the next day. Yeah, a trainer friend of mine told me I wasn't eating enough....I can't stand plain white rice (living in Asia this is a problem) so I tend to lack on carbs a bit…
