fat is evil? Damn, I never knew. Here I was thinking your body needed fat to keep it functioning normally. :/

Caffeine is a psychoactive stimulant(similar to amphetamines, e.g, adderall) It's not a surprise that it causes you to be dizzy, you're consuming a drug that alters the way your brain functions. Just avoid it.

"You're healthy, why are you eating [INSERT UNHEALTHY FOOD HERE]?" Why does everyone think my diet consists of lettuce and carrots?

She's entitled to her opinion because her tax dollars will be paying for your obese child's healthcare.

More power to her, was following a school bus the other day home(sigh) and almost all the kids that got off were obese or at least overweight. If you don't want your kid to get letters, stop sending them around to beg for candy.

Buy a mask. I get so pissed off when people come to school/work sick and cough all over me. Started happening this week already.

Ultimate bulking food.

make sure you do a full squat aka *kitten* to grass. Watch a youtube video if you're unsure.

My favorite snacks include pizza, ice cream, donuts, and cookies. IIFYM.

There's no way I would let my children go to a public US school. I guess if I wanted them to be a macaroni artist I would consider it, however.

I prefer the name knee pushups. Good job!

All I can say is be careful, a *lot* of people have died from diet pills.

an hour of deadlifts goodluck

Maybe not so obvious, but, stay busy. I used to eat a lot more but now I go to school full time, work full time, go to the gym 4 days a week and have a lot of other things to take care of. I usually have ~900 calories logged at the end of the day and have to eat something big.

I've seen a lot of women go to the gym and do nothing but stare at guys while all dressed up. It's kind of creepy.

sugar is important to your body there's nothing wrong with carbs, people who demonize them don't understand how important they are to your body

coffee, black.

Get the proteins/fats you need and fill the rest with carbs. Most journals I've checked get nowhere near enough fats.

get a PT Everyone seems to hate on them for some reason, but there's no way you'll learn proper form without one if you're completely green. Make sure it's a PT that actually wants to help you learn the exercises instead of putting you on a dumb routine they made though.

decrease sodium intake increase potassium intake

greek yogurt is by definition not vegan. ...not like it's even possible to BE a vegan. You're using animal products constantly.

greek yogurt I eat it daily whey aka protein powder. It's food, not a supplement.

At the rate we're going it's gonna be illegal to be non-normal. High IQ? Too attractive? Too successful? Not obese? Throw them in prison.

Was going to say IIFYM but I had 2 mcdoubles a few weeks back and got physically ill and threw up. So...

Why not just budget the pizza as is? You don't have to eat the entire thing... A lot of people around here already eat "cheat meals" regularly and are losing weight.

First, congratulations on your massive weight loss. I was mainly referring to a lot of the people I see in this thread who weren't that overweight(only losing 50-70lbs) and a lot younger. It slightly shocked me that they were already considering skin removal when their weightloss wasn't even finished yet. I think they…

I've never had a cheat day. Budget the meals into your calories, the only person you're cheating is yourself.

Before hopping right into surgery how many of you tried to exercise and wait a year or two? And I mean really exercise, as in, strength training with free weights.

digital scales aren't accurate. If you have something heavy that you know the weight of(e.g, I often have 80lb bags of concrete around my house) you can use them to see which one is more accurate. If you want your weight accurately, buy one of those scales you see at a doctor's office. They cost $100+.
