I did long ago, back when I was in college. Don't like the results all that much but I'm still proud that I did it, considering how I looked back then! Would I do it again? I'd think about it more than back in the day but I think that yes I would, if the circumstances were right.

Yes, I still sometimes feel sad but I find that my sadness isn't food related... I just wished I could eat to fill another void in my life but in the end I've come to realize that it would only make me fat again and still not satisfy my real needs. Nonetheless, if I have yummy food available, of course I wished I could eat…

lmao, sorry but that totally made me laugh! To OP, no there is no problem as to when you eat... the only issue will come if you workout during the day and end up burning more calories than you have eaten up to that point! Other than that, eat whenever you want to, it doesn't really matter.

What is it sweetened with? Aspartame? I dunno for sure, I'm not a big soda fan anymore but all to say that artificial sweeteners, all the so-called diet or sugar free products tend to make me hungry, if not bloated too! Not sure how it all works out in the body but I'm sure it can't be all that good. But with your hungry…

Steam: TheDangerousDave

Heya! I'm David from Montreal Canada and I've been a gamer for quite some years, always on PC though, I'll never trade my mouse and keyboard! (Except for a racing wheel!) Love a bit of everything, I started my gaming life on racing and flight simulations back in the mid 90s but over time I've grown to love a whole lot of…

I've gone with Centrum for what seems like forever now. The neon pee is indeed normal if you take too much B vitamin but it has hardly ever happened to me, maybe twice in who knows how many years. It works for me but I can see how it's not for everyone. I don't find it all that expensive and figure it might help as I'm not…

I'm no expert on boobs being a guy and in no way a doctor, but I think it all depends on the size and density but if some women complain about back pain when they have large ones, I would think that yes, they can have a substantial weight to them. As for the OP, if you have an idea how much your breasts weight and feel…

I ate quinoa for breakfast for quite a while and I loved it! I'd use real maple syrup to sweeten it up, added directly when I cooked it, and to change things I would alternate between different frozen fruits, I found peach and pineapple usually worked better than berries, fresh apples and raisins also seem perfect!

Can't see why it wouldn't work. I've never tried it though!

My idea is that moving more food is somewhat better for them, means they use more, buy more, and perhaps in the end it's cheaper for them to buy larger quantities. And the consumer usually assumes more is better, especially if the price seems good enough, so in the end, everyone wants bigger portions. Plus they make larger…

Same for me, I pick some large chain pizza and roughly estimate from there... sometimes I think that what I add might actually be higher than what I actually ate but that's okay, doesn't need to be exact, still gives you an idea as to how much you ate!

I got to the exact point where I am like 6-7 years ago and yes, I think it was one of those "this is temporary" mindsets and then I got happy with my weight and slowly went back to my previous eating habits but also I picked up soda again, something I found extremely easy to give up (again). I think it's just "normal" for…

I never understood how people say they can eat just fine the next day... I didn't had anything special done when they were taken out but my dentist always breaks them because it's easier. Had a 2nd one removed last year and I recall needing a good 3-4 days before I could even consider anything that couldn't be swallowed.…

I was beginning to need a 38 in pants when I started changing my lifestyle, now I fit relatively comfortably in a 34! Been fitting into that for a little while already so I'd say it took me roughly 15lbs, can't remember exactly at which point it was.

Happy birthday... and nah, it's all good when it's once or twice in a week. Just don't expect to lose anything, might even gain slightly, but honestly the few times when I've let myself go somewhat (without any special occasions) that's what happened. If you keep up your healthy habits afterwards don't worry and just enjoy…

Usually about 6 glasses a day, plus a glass of orange juice in the morning and it doesn't change much whether I exercise or not. I started drinking tea lately so it's not all water but I never add anything to my tea so I count it as water. I think it's roughly how much I've always drank, except before I used to drink juice…

- Harvey's de Luxe burger, can never go wrong there! - Poutine, a real one made from fresh potatoes - Timbits, because I love sweet food. Now I guess I'd have to workout tons or else I'd be super fat but that fact aside, I'd be very happy eating that everyday!

Hug

I hate peanut butter because it gives me oily skin but I'd love to try anyway! Never seen any of those flavors to be honest though the blueberry muffin ones sound tasty!

The first week or two it's nearly always water weight so it's normal for a big loss but then it slows down, dramatically in certain cases. Don't rush it, one can only lose so much and just the same way you gained the weight over a certain period of time and most likely not steadily, it's that way too to lose it. A pound…

Honestly I was curious too, especially about digital ones because I find the needle ones to be slightly imprecise but honestly I think that as long as you use the same scale in the same spot and weight yourself always at the same time, you'll still get a general idea on how you're doing.

Without starving yourself, 4-5lbs would be the most realistic loss possible, and even then I think it's optimistic because you say you run nearly everyday so that means your body is used to it, perhaps if you did a different exercise but in any case, like others have mentioned, the less you have to lose, the slowest it…

Probably not! The key is moderation, I used to drink soda in moderation already, I was never a big fan of bubbly drinks so I'll still have one every now and then. But I have found unsweetened tea, like one you make from loose leaves, to be a great alternative to water as it can get pretty boring even though it's almost all…

Hug, because who doesn't love hugs!

I don't know what people have said but honestly, if you want to embrace your weight as is, go for it, regardless of what people say. I know some happily overweight people and they have zero issues with how others think they look. On the other hand, I see you're on your journey to lose weight and that's good too... and from…

That is amazing, keep it up! I bought myself pants a size too small just before starting this and I'm happy to say I managed to fit in them too :)

As someone that went on sugar most of his life, I am now immune to the so-called sugar high everyone talks about... in fact, I'm not even sure I recall ever experiencing that. And I still have a sugar high diet but I can tell you that fruit is great at getting natural sugar, plus it seems to last you way more than the…

As far as gels go, it's just fancy labeled and high priced sugar, you might as well just eat candy! As far as electrolytes go, I usually go for Gatorade and alternate with lots of water, mainly because I get bloated from the sugar in it (which I didn't knew was corn syrup). But in the end, it does the job so I don't worry…

Yup, the body definitely needs to rest for the muscles to repair, especially after intense activity. It's usually why most places recommend to alternate cardio and strenght training days. You could also do both the same day and then rest on the next day. As long as you don't over stress the body, you'll be okay, but not…
