For someone like me who only needed to lose a bit of weight, e.g. someone weighing 200 lbs needing to lose 25, then losing that much weight in that short of time would be considered unhealthy. It's nice to lose it quickly in the beginning. Perhaps showing this as a percentage of your starting weight would garner less…

A little late to the party, and possibly a bit conservative on the goal, but am at the point of trying to lose half pound/week, so... SW - 183 GW - 180 Am really trying to not gain, which is hard with Thanksgiving, holiday parties, Christmas baking. Am doing some running, and walking a lot. Need to do more strength…

Implied were the words "A pound of (M)uscle"...than "a pound of " fat. In your example of volume, the weight of muscle would be more than that of fat.

I drink protein shakes in the morning around my workout to help increase the amount of protein I get. At lunch time for about the same amount of protein and calories, you could eat a 4oz can of tuna (drained) or 4-5oz of cooked chicken. My preference is to eat rather than drink my calories, when I have the option (I just…

Great song from the 50's. For you youngsters, it's the song in the background playing in Ghost when Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze are "making pottery" :-)

I prefer smaller than big bewbs, butt the butt gotta be round. ;) [/quote] oh, phew. They do exist.[/quote] Yes we exist. We're referred to as "*kitten* men" or "thigh guys". Boobs are nice, but it isn't where our eyes go.

Um, I learned to try to time my bulk starting in November :wink: Seriously, because of the holidays, the cold weather that keeps you indoors more often, it's hard to stay away from the food and get a lot of exercise. I end up working out with weights, and trying to do SOME cardio. In terms of motivation - can you say…

Thighs. In for the rollover! WIYF Halloween candy?

Sorry to hear about the scary stuff, and glad that things are okay now. Sounds to me like you should engage in being more active again. Congratulations on the weight loss. Just want to mention that It is contributing to your slowdown. Basically, at the beginning, you were carrying around the equivalent of 5 bowling balls…

In for the individual cookie dough brownies.

Can you tell us what your current plan is? Are you using the website and logging your food (not going to get into the whole weighing it bit)? Are you comfortable allowing others to view your food diary? Are you exercising, and if so what are you doing and for how long? Are you eating back all of your exercise calories, or…

Protein shakes, eggs, greek yogurt. More protein than carbs. Oatmeal works well too, though the carbs go up. It's different from a donut. Work on fitting your macros during the day. Good tips above. Good luck on your journey.

Agree with post above regarding BMR. If you meant TDEE (which is what I mistook your post to mean), then read on. Your experience is not that unusual. I've tried drinking water first. If I still feel hungry, then I eat something. Lifestyle changes have made that be a yogurt or an energy bar instead of half a bag of chips…

:laugh:

Originally from Florida, and it's "Coke". Drives the Pizza Hut waitresses crazy, because they have to tell ya that it's "Pepsi products"...I usually just order a water since I don't like Pepsi. The second is a "Sub". The third is "lightning bugs". Couch not sofa. Additional items - diagonally across the street is…

:huh:

Bump for later.

I used to be a 7 (chubbyfat) - profile pic, and now am more of a 6 (skinnyfat). Guess that I need a new picture. Am working toward Ottermode. I don't know if Athletic will be possible at my age/build, but will settle for the Otter just fine.

Pear --> Pickle. Am unsure if I'm able to be a nacho, probably too much vinegar.

Yes, I could have just googled it. Doing it this way seemed more personal, allowing others to talk about their national holiday(s), getting not only a partial history lesson, but also getting a sense of how normal people celebrate it. Seems to me that is an improvement over a list that google would probably have presented.

Oh, you're turning heads...you just don't see it because you are looking away. Take the time to glance back sometime...guys are watching. (But not stalking...nope...not that):noway:

In for the ice cream - not running atm - but I will be running when I complete circuit of Spartacus with co-workers. BTW - Does frozen yogurt count? I usually mix the Kemp's low-fat with moose tracks :happy:

I agree with the others. You need to eat more. Your BMR is about 1475 (amount to eat if you did absolutely nothing), and about 2450 for your TDEE. Yeah, they are estimates, but 900 cals just isn't enough. My guess is that you could eat about 1900-2000 cals a day and lose half a pound a week. As for walking, once you have…

Too young

<Pushed out of closet> Too many high-heeled shoes and lurking guys in there. So, I am having trouble reading Myelina's handwriting - does this say something about Wesson oil?
