I want food so badly now. I've reached my daily calories and decided not to eat my walking calories back. I've done my weekly shop and all good foods, no fast food, bread, pasta or candy. I really want to drown that bottle of wine and pesto filled chicken with some cheese and mushrooms and ice cream..there is a part of me…

Oh God I would never manage, pizza is the absolute best. And I cannot have one slice, cheese hits the tongue and that's it - I'm eating the entire thing. I don't know what advice to give. If you can manage only one slice, do so. Either way, eat most of your calories during the daytime and rather go slightly hungry to bed.…

Exactly what I've been thinking. There is natural and healthy and there is society thin. Unfortunately I do want the latter.

I will try 1500 or 1600 for a week and see how it goes. I binged this weekend so that is probably why I had not lost today. Really I should be losing at about 1500.

:) I know I am not fat, but it feels that way when I was almost 20 lbs lighter before. And my build isn't very big, especially my upper body. One of my best friends have always weighed more than me, even though she's same height and doesn't do weight training - it's just the way her body is. A few years ago when I first…

I am not sure if my lifestyle is sedentary or lightly active. I have an office job but I am not passive all day, I do run around quite a bit. Assuming it is somewhere between sedentary and mildly active, my TDEE would be approx. 1900. I will try eating more protein. At least when I'm having salads or sandwiches I always…

I think I will try to work out less, maybe walk once a day or so and not eat it back. Just focus on staying under 1500 cals altogether... I had no issues losing extra weight at all a few years ago, should be able to do it now..

I sometimes feel like the exercise isn't really helping me. If I don't exercise as all I might stay within 1500 calories. But if I walk in the morning and burn say 2-300 calories, I am super hungry the rest of the day and I want to eat MORE than those calories back, i.e. I struggle to stay within 1800. Exercise is supposed…

It is about 4 miles / 6 kilometers. Google Maps estimates the walking time to about 1 hr 22 mins, I walk it in an hour or sometimes 45. I might start not eating back my exercise calories, or not log walking at all.

I've honestly never lifted before and wouldn't know where to start. I'm one of those spin class bunnies who's somewhat afraid of that weight lifting room where there are only men and they're kissing their biceps in the mirror. I'd feel like a fool walking in and grabbing the lightest ones and I wouldn't know what technique…

Do you exercise? I mean walking, running or sth like that. And do you eat them back?

I haven't lost any weight this week and I'm thinking I might have to eat 1500 and not eat back any exercise calories...but it will be SO hard, I am starving once I reach the office.

I do understand why gay men are not allowed to donate blood, yet I do understand that they feel discriminated against. Gay men do have HIV more often than straight men or women do. That is fact. It is not homophobic to say it. It is silly to deny it for politically correct reasons. And a lot of people are scared ****less…

My regular diet is fine, it's just that I ate a lot of crap for a short period of time (around Christmas) and I need to eat less for some time to get rid of that.

People always say that but of course it is a diet - you're not going to live the rest of your life on a calorie deficit? It is temporary. Of course if someone eats only ****ty food in general they need to change their lfiestyle. But I am only cutting calories to lose the weight I want to lose, after that I will obviously…

Thanks for the advice! I have had problems in the past only having one drink. As soon as I get the taste of alcohol on my tongue it only goes one way. But after many long nights and being dead tired at the office I was motivated to change. The past week I have been able to have one or two glasses of red wine and go to bed,…

Interesting. I have a fear I might have PCO or PCOS. I'm not overweight nor trying to get pregnant but I did a scan and have a lot of follicles.. I have been taking Inositol pills for some time just because it helps with cell function but I didn't connect it to fertility at all.

Did you drink originally and did you while dieting? If so what/how much?

That's what I'm thinking. 100g raw bacon isn't much when it's cooked and I have a hard time believing it's over 300 cals.

I tried searching for cooked bacon in the database, but seriously, the answer vary so much it seems nobody has a clue at all (sure the type of bacon varies in fat but not THIS much). I think cooked makes more sense, so I've changed all my posts to hald the values now. I don't want to trick myself, but honestly it seems my…

It's British - Sainsbury's. I was wrong, the entire package is 670g. It doesn't say how many servings it is, it's cooking bacon, not rashers. What it says i: Nutrition: Typical values (grilled as per intructions) per 100g: Energy 308 kcal. I now see it says at the top: 50g serving: 154 cals So I suppose that means cooked?

I decided to do a test run now. I measured up 100g of uncooked bacon on the scale. I fried it in the oven, let it drip of a little and measured it. It is 45 g. If I were to eat this amount, should I register it as 45g?

Maybe I'm slow, I really don't get it...what do you mean by "servings"? It's a block of 400 grams, I don't know what "1 serving" is, surely that depends on how much you want to eat...

That makes sense. I've never weighed it after cooking so I will try now. I cook it in the oven and there is quite a bit of fat left in there. I'm just not sure if "grilled as per instructions" mean they have measured the calories before or after cooking when they measured it for the package.

Weight of meat. 100g chicken is like, nothing. And bacon.

I also want to lose 20 before summer and it sounded like a lot but I found out I have surprisingly lost 6 by today! It will probably go slower in the weeks to come, but I have seen the light and am optimistic ;)

I just lost 6 lbs and that's just in the past two weeks! Woho! I'm assuming some of that is water weight?

I agree with this. People are free to eat what they want, but some seem to not realize that obesity/weight gain is ONE side effect from unhealthy eating, but far from all. If you don't care about your general health but merely want to look better, then sure, it's fine to eat junk in limited amounts and lose. The reality is…

I don't care how people are treating their bodies as long as I'm not paying their healthcare bills. This is why I'm concerned with what Norwegians (my home country) eat and how they live - my taxes go to a public health care system. If Americans get the same system, I understand why they'd be angry with others giving…

I use photos of celebrities, but there are a lot of different women I think look great even if they're not all the same size/weight. For example both Kelly Brook and Candice Swanepoel look great to me, even though Candice is skinny and Kelly is a bit curvier. Anywho, this is one of the pictures I keep on my pinterest for…
