Thanks guys <3 I needed those

Thank you.

Thanks! I don't care about looks. If they help, that's all that matters <3

You answered yourself :) "I overate a few hundred calories this week, but not enough (7000) to gain 2 lbs" If you didn't consume an extra 7000 calories, then it is water or clothes, or wet hair... something, but it's not an actual GAIN. Don't worry so much.

It's because you go off of your current weight maintenance level. A 400 pound female around 5' 7 would be nearly 4000 calories/day for maintenance. If you take a 50% deficit for them, that would still be 2,000 calories in per day plus whatever they earn with exercise. 2,000 calories is still a butt load of food, and more…

Yes, even a twinkie diet is going to allow you to lose weight, but think about this... 1500 calories of twinkies is around 8 packages. It would be much like "fasting" only drinking Mountain Dew. You are going to feel crappy, you are going to have almost zero energy, and you are going to be HUNGRY! Your body will start…

I eat chips, chocolate, ice cream, cheeseburgers... and I am losing. There's no such thing as a "NO" food for me. I just have to be aware of my limits. ENJOY! It's your life, and it's too short to be miserable all the time <3

You are right. Fat doesn't discriminate/favor any particular time frame. I've always believed this. When you boil it down, the people who swear they gain 2 lbs overnight are the ones who preach that you can't eat 2, 3, 4 or sometimes even 5 hours before you go to bed. Seriously, a deficit is a deficit for losing, and for…

I define a difference with intent. Making friends and being friendly etc is actually pretty great. Especially if she has very few real friends. There's nothing wrong with having a male/female friendship. I have always been more comfortable around guys, myself. Emoticons (winks, hearts, etc) are just silly to judge. I often…

Home of the Hodag, huh? I grew up in Rhinelander! Welcome, and feel free to add me <3

You know that white flour is commonly in all whole wheat products, right? Whole white wheat flour is made from white wheat and is ground from the entire grain, bran, germ and endosperm. In any case, all breads/bread products are going to be fairly high in carbs/sugars. If it's a major concern, you can easily omit breads…

It's only more calorie dense because there are more nutrients packed in. It will also keep you fuller for longer, which is a great thing. That means you won't be hungry for 2nds. You still want to watch how much you eat, no matter how many "good" things are in them, but yes, the multi grain is in essence, better than whole…

I love the nutty grain bread. It's got 7 whole grains and... sunflower seeds! I thought it would be weird (bought on accident), but oh my! It's amazing lol.

I may get some backlash from this, but want to put my two cents in. (Now if I can figure out how to write it out...) Before anyone gets too mad at me, I AM morbidly obese. I'm not judging, and I have been there... obviously. While I like seeing people happy and carefree, some of the "Love your body" campaigns, in my…

Everyone needs to chillax a bit. Neither one of us posted anything negative... I asked what it was and he copied/pasted from a website he found. I don't see anything wrong with that.

What is HD? Not sure I've seen/heard of it, and all that comes up on google is HD television LOL

Still have almost 100 lbs left to lose. Feel free to add me! <3

Ok, don't think I've ever gotten very lucky on these threads, but if we are at all similar, feel free to add me! (or even if we're not LOL) SW: 236 CW: 227 GW: Under 200 first for a major leap... UGW: Anything between 130 and 150 ish that feels "right" Age: 32 (almost 33) Female :P Live in Central Wisconsin

For this recipe, I think you'd be safe to leave them out completely. Eggs generally act as a binder and to help raise baked goods, but this cake got so high.. It would most likely turn out more like a fudgy brownie at the worst <3

Ok, after re reading your post, it seems that you just recently started all these lifting and exercises when you quit smoking, right? No, it's not your diet. In fact, you don't seem to eat anything with any substance and I'd advise to eat more, especially if you are working out. Under 1200 cals for a 5'4 woman is not so…

My advice? Don't worry so much. Whether you weigh 112 or 118, you are still in a very healthy and GOOD weight for your height. In fact, for your height, you could go up to as much as 140 or even a little more and still be in a very healthy range. Don't take it to too much of an extreme that you end up with an obsessive…

Semen...

I do this! The "day old" rotisserie chickens are only $4 and the meat you get from it can be used in several different meals. Takes only about 10 minutes to completely clean the bones of meat and then you can either store it, freeze it, or prepare the meals right then in advance. A nice bonus is they are usually already…

I make it a point to pick out a new veggie each trip to the store, and my girls are required to pick one fruit and one veg each themselves as well. Some... have been major fail, but some I have discovered are simply amazing. I will say I am clueless about spices and making any kind of sauces or anything, so a lot of it is…

Whoa buddy... I am HAPPY with the change. I was merely stating the list looks boring and oh so simple compared to going through every single isle in the store. I'm not looking for any excuses, just being social, sharing my random thoughts with others.

Love it! You are doing awesome, and you motivate me each and every day with your morning wake up and other updates. Thanks for being you!

Just what I was looking for <3 Sounds great. Going to start making these weekly.

I have definitely been noticing that myself. Haha my kids think I am weird, because brussel sprouts are my new go to snack. I buy the Green Giant frozen singles. Just tastes so awesome. (not as great as when I bake them fresh with a little spritz of oil and salt/pepper, but still awesome)

I've been really trying to get used to and like greek yogurt, but it's just so thick! The consistency really throws me off, and I find I can't even taste it I am so distracted. I don't suppose there's any greek yogurt that's not... weird like that is there?

My reaction to that sentence as well LOL
