Greasy, cheesy, grilled patty melt with extra sauteed onions....

Track your food and weigh everything. Be conscious that healthy food will keep you full longer and less likely to binge eat. My digital kitchen scale is the best tool I have and it has helped me tremendously! Also, it you have a bad day and go over your cals forgive yourself and move on. Get right back to it and remember…

Well congrats on the lost weight. You could stand to lose that 'friend' too!

Love, love, love!!! I use it as noodles and YUM!

^^^This.

Ummmm..... Ahhhh... Ummmm........ as a kid? ..... *speechless*

I find 6 smaller meals works better. Everyone is different. Plus, water is not the only liquid you need. Coffee is good for the soul!

This^ Seriously, I use Fage insread of sour cream too and the Chobani is heaven.

Ditto on the Victoria's Secret. Even at my smallest and too thin I couldn't shop there.

Energy drinks. They taste like stale sweat. Bleh.

2 turkey sausage links and an English muffin or toast OR Half an onion bagel with 1 tbsp cream cheese OR 1 egg (from our flock) and toast with 1 tsp butter PLUS - Black coffee! It's all about the coffee! I am looking to add to the variety, these are just so easy.

We do a lot of chicken and fish because we are going low carb. Our faves include chicken fajitas, grilled pork chops Athenian style, skeak and shrimp shish-ka-bob, and lemon-pepper tilapia friends in a bit of olive oil.

A glass of wine and a pickle, dill or kosher, or Wheaties and 2% milk.:drinker:

But there's only a 20% chance of that.

90% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Including the statistic that I made up just now.

Me too!

Bring your own food and do not go in the kitchen. Ever. Edit for typo.

A little dog spit never killed anyone! My 3 gi-normous dogs get me every day.

I have a cheat day once a week where I eat moderate amounts of whatever I want with no regard for calories or macros. The key is moderate. It's worked great for me so far.

Buy something slinky and ask my husband it he wants to help me get an extra workout in. :devil:

Not that I'm anywhere near needing this info yet but, When I lose my desired amount of weight and I land at needing roughly 1800 for maintenence do I eat back my cals from my workout it I want to gain muscle mass?

This!

I really shouldn't be typing this in at work! (But I was curious as to whether anyone would pick up on it.). :devil:

No, no, no. What you want is a moderate deceit and an exorcism. That's the only way it will work.

Hello! I'm new here and it's nice to see so many supportive people! The volume of posts is a bit overwhelming, but I will try to read many and benefit from everyone's experiences. I hope to add my perpective back to the group when I can.

Indeed!

Oh, and I did google it when I finally decided I cared!

Because we are awesome.

What they said :-)

My first husband was like that. When my oldest was 16 he asked 'why are you with him?' His step dad is someone he can look up to.
