  • Beaded jump ropes make a sound as they hit the ground that tells you to jump. I cant do jump ropes that do not make the sound. Also, dancing is a great idea.
  • At my thinnest (110lbs), nearly all of my daily calories were from dairy. 1200+ calories of dairy every single day, and I was a size 0. So, no, it did not make me fat. What made me fat was stuffing my face full of everything else in sight after drinking the entire gallon of skim milk. I was fine when my main food was bran…
  • Why is everyone insulting the free pizza? I joined planet fitness because I could not afford anywhere else. They have the same machines as the gym I used last year to gear up for busy season. First off, I asked where they get the pizza, and it is from a local place where the slices are ~275 calories a slice. I lost a lot…
  • I got a yonanas machine for $20 recently at walmart. I find that banana+4 ice cubes of nonfat plain greek yogurt+cocoa+other flavorings=yummy. Yes, I use frozen greek yogurt in the yonanas machine. It works, and it gives it a milkier taste. It also cuts down on the calories and adds protein.
  • Of course you can save calories for a cheat day. I do it all the time and the weight is just falling off me.
  • Its been said before but lasagna is a great one. Cheese mixture: 1 cup fat free cottage cheese (I did this to extend the ricotta because its expensive) 3 cups of fat free ricotta 3.5 tablespoons parmesan cheese 4 egg whites and 1 whole egg Small handful spinach Some dried basil (to taste) Some "italian seasoning" I had on…
  • Pizza, frozen yogurt, low cal pudding pops, fried chicken wings, and mashed potatoes. PIzza because I can eat it all day and lose tons of weight. (275 calories a slice) Frozen yogurt because its 110 calories per bowl (I actually prefer small bowls of ice cream because im a freak). Pudding pops because they are cheap and…
  • Well I know that it helps the wallet. I tend to do this once a week. Usually im very hostile by the end of the day. I oddly crave meats instead of sweets. Seems all the women I know have a serious sweet tooth and all I can think of is a fat so-rare-it's-bleeding steak
  • I do like 200 calories. Usually ice cream sandwiches. Some days its 2 of the 100 calorie ones, and some days it is one of the 180 calorie extra yummy kind.
  • O.O wow..... you have an amazing appetite. I think I would have puked if I attempted that. And yes, that is most definitely a binge at least by my standards. Wow. This makes my binges look like such insignificant little blips. When I binge its like 2700 calories. I think the issue is that it was clearly a special day. I…
  • The only thing that wraps around anyone that causes fat loss is a fully boned corset. And corsets only cause fat loss because they squish you so much that you can barely eat 800 calories a day without throwing up. As for tightening the skin, there are some substances known to *temporarily* tighten skin that can be used in…
  • At least 4 times a day. Breakfast Lunch Dinner Second dinner And I am not even counting how many times a day I grab a 40 calorie pudding pop.
  • I still drink tea, however now if I add anything its just a tiny splash of skim milk and I log those calories. Im too lazy to search for foods half the time so I just add 40 quick calories.
  • Yup, I weigh around 5lbs more. I assume its from my cravings for salty meats.
  • Im always grouchy and exhausted for the rest of the day, which is why I only exercise at night. Otherwise im falling asleep everywhere and snapping at people,, or yelling at toasters for not toasting things fast enough. This seems to especially be a problem when I do cardio. Im nasty after cardio.
  • Basically the same stuff I eat now, only in massive quantities. Oh except I no longer eat those fatty pork chops because they are 1600 calories for one small chop. I cannot eat half of a pork chop. I just do not have the self control. Oh yeah and I cut out alcohol almost completely.
  • Agar jelly. Lots of fiber, and no calories. Makes smoothies really creamy and it mimics the mouth feel of fat so you can use nonfat yogurts
  • Burlington coat factory, $2 bras for the win! Also 99 cent pretty panties. I keep having to buy smaller panties every 2 weeks with my current weight loss rate. It is so nice to have pretty panties without freaking out that they wont fit in a week or 2. Though for bras, I gave up and now wear sports bras for now. This is…
  • I used to pop popcorn at home. I used a tablespoon or so of ghee (like clarified butter) as the oil in the pan. The ghee also acted as the butter flavoring so all it needed after was some fine salt. I havent had it since starting my weight loss journey because those microwave popcorn thingys are so much easier to portion.…
  • Oh, I mean they arent food because they are typically so low in calories and high in water. They are basically just fiber, vitamins, and water. This makes them more of a dietary supplement than food. Food has enough calories to actually make me add more than 4 calories to my sandwich or whatever else I am eating with them.…
  • I do not count accent vegetables. A slice of cucumber, a kosher dill pickle on a hamburger, lettuce on a sandwich or taco. None of it is food. I ALWAYS count fruit because fruit is high in calories due to sugar. Iceburg lettuce is basically crunchy water. If I ate a giant bowl of it (yuck), I would count it. It isnt even…
  • Well cardio works better for some, and lifting works better for others. I do tend to see people on cardio machines as hamsters, but I always thought that was a good thing. I rather like hamsters. Lifting gives me strength and a firmer, more shapely body. Where as cardio gives me sore boobs, a sore throat, and no visible…
  • Every day is a treat day for me. I had a sugar free fat free pudding pop just this morning. Ice cream is a daily occurrence.
  • I sneak food in. The popcorn at my theater smells amazing but tastes like cardboard. All smell, no flavor. I never much cared for drinks in a theater since I have never been able to drink soda.
  • If I have not eaten jerky, kfc, or ham I fluctuate maybe 2lbs (unless I pound water right before weighing myself). I have eaten the foods above then its around 5lbs. I freaked out at first thinking that I was getting fat on 1500 calories a day, but now I know its just water weight
  • No. It tastes nasty like tuna
  • Um, I just ate 250 calories every 3 hours. I learned that I needed to eat meat in order to not be a vicious nasty creature who attacks everyone I love. Eventually I learned to portion food to cook at home. Which added back the comforting sense of normalcy I needed desperately. I never felt very weak or dizzy, but I became…
  • You cannot spot reduce fat. Also it took me 20lbs before my belly started showing my efforts. I can now see an indentation down the middle of my upper abs. Thats the first step to the 4 pack I want. Yes 4 pack. I have never been able to get a 6 pack even when I was young and skinny. But I know I am capable of getting 4.…
  • It depends on a few factors. 1) what is your calorie goal set to? Because if its 400 calories over 1200, then yes you will lose weight as long as you are not 4 feet tall and you occasionally get up to walk around the house or go shopping. 2) what sorts of exercises do you do if any? If you eat 400 calories over but you…
  • Well, now that I know how easy it is to lose weight I tend to become a little annoyed when people say they are trying to lose weight and then the next day they have already given up and are eating a 3000 calorie dinner in front of me. They ask how I am doing it, and I tell them. They say they will try and they dont. I have…
