Breyer's: Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mint Reeses Chocolate Waffle Cone Caramel with Chocolate Chips Oreo Cookies & Cream Chocolate Klondike Krunch M&M’S Chocolate Coffee I finished the Heath Toffee last night. You can't beat a Breyer's BOGO sale

Wow, jaw-dropping transformation. Waiting for everyone in the house to wake up so I can gather them around my laptop and say "Look, just look at what this guy did!!" Incredible work, congratulations and don't ever lose that sense of humor.

I would choose the gym membership over the treadmill. Going to the the gym can become addicting which is ok because it's fun and healthy. There are so many different types of workouts that you can get into and the camaraderie with the other members can't be found at home. For me, the gym membership offers so much more than…

You could look into IF (intermittent fasting) and see if it's something you might like. I do 20/4 IF and it results in a lot less meals to plan for so a lot less chance of making bad choices. I eat all my calories in the evening and go to bed full and satisfied every night. I never feel deprived this way and there's always…

I started this on May 28th of this year and I've lost 20 lbs since then. There were times when I went up 3 pounds overnight and other times when I lost 5 lbs in as many days. I had good days and bad days, made good choices and bad choices. I did pig out at Golden Corral once (bad, bad choice), I've may have eaten two…

My goal weight is what I've been all my adult life until I put on the extra 29 pounds two to three years ago.

That's the one I use and it seems to work ok.

Believe it or not, I've done that... when my old reel mower broke. True story, lol. It was only a tiny patch of grass next to my patio though.I have no idea how many calories I burned.

Age 53 Height: 5' 1" Daily calorie intake: TDEE 1273 - 250 for a 1/2 lb/wk loss. CW: 114 lbs GW; 100-105 lbs I've lost 20 lbs since joining in May with a 400 calorie/day deficit. I do IF so I eat all my calories in the evening. Now that I'm down to 114 I'm going to start some heavy lifting, not for body comp. but just so I…

I have the strangest crush on Robert Carlyle, especially in character as Rumpelstiltskin and Mr. Gold on Once Upon a Time. I know, I'm a weirdo but there's just something about him.

The OP pretty much states that but the point of her post is that it's harder to get an accurate calorie count on processed foods than on whole, fresh foods. Thus, when a small amount of calories really make a difference, i.e. you have a small amount of weight to lose and there is a fine line between what is a deficit and…

I wouldn't change anything if it's working but I would tell her of your mistake just in case it stops working. That way she'll be prepared if she has to take on a bigger deficit. If this was her first month it's likely much of that 8 pounds was water weight so next month may not be as successful. Yeah, play it out at 1800…

I just started doing this a couple of days ago and it really does work. I usually drink black coffee anytime of the day but I switched to hot tea with Splenda sometimes. It makes me feel like I've had a treat..

Turtle meat. It tasted like steak but had the texture, tenderness of white meat chicken. Surprisingly good.

aww... you look so cute. Your hard work has really paid off. Congratulations. :flowerforyou: It's amazing how much younger everyone looks when they lose weight. I never realized that fat ages a person as much as it does.

I'm curious also as to how this would effect my metabolism. First, I believe metabolic damage does occur on a VLCD; I'm not disputing that. Consider that I am eating at a healthy deficit daily. Is it ok for me to eat lower than my healthy deficit 5 days a week and then make up those calories on the weekend? Will metabolic…

On the other hand, sometimes you get more. Using a measuring cup 110 calories of shredded cheese is 1/4 cup. When I used a food scale that 110 calories became 1/3 cup. I'd been cheating myself of cheese the whole time.

I can think of a lot of extremely good things I'd love to eat but there are two things I'd put at the level of "crack" for me. Frozen M&M's (plain) and White Cheddar Cheez-Its. Wouldn't matter how much was in the house, I'd eat every bit and still want more. ETA: This is a very dangerous thread to read through... getting…

I decided to (after much agonizing about whether I should or not) go to Golden Corral last night with my family and other family members that I haven't seen in months. As we ate dinner my sister in law looked across the table and asked me "Have you lost weight?" Well, this was a big victory for me since no one that I see…

It sounds like you're having caffeine withdrawals. If you can make it through a week or two you'll get the caffeine out of your system and the headaches will stop. Don't wait until your headache gets bad if you're going to take a pain reliever. A headache from caffeine withdrawal is hard to get rid of if it's already set…

Your body uses glucose for energy so that when you exercise your blood sugar will go down. Be careful if you take diabetic medication (Metformin, insulin) that you don't exercise to the point of hypoglycemia. If you feel tired, shaky, confused you may have over done it and lowered your BS too much. Have a source of glucose…

You could go two days of drinking water and eating fruit but it wouldn't be fasting. Fasting is eating nothing and drinking water exclusively (although black coffee is considered okay). For myself, eating fruit only for two days would be a lot harder than eating nothing as the fruit would give me massive cravings. If you…

I do get this a lot. I'm 5' 1.5". I have about 17 pounds to lose which doesn't sound like a lot but for me it's extremely unhealthy. I keep that entire 17 lbs in my midsection. This gives me a dangerously high (91) waist to hip ratio, meaning I'm at a very high risk of having coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer and…

I never eat before 4 pm and sometimes not until 6 or 7. I have more energy throughout the day if I don't eat breakfast or lunch. Also, having all my calories at night allows me to eat large and, basically, deprive myself of nothing. I go to bed full and satisfied every night and sleep like a baby.

Physical attributes are what first attract a person to another. It's natural. You see it in many animals, eg. a male peacock. Nothing wrong with that at all. But, if that's all there is then you probably won't stay attracted for long. On the other hand, you may accidentally (because you normally wouldn't look twice at…

Can a plateau really last for a whole year?

eggs bacon a turkey lite mayo tuna cheese bread green beans broccoli ice cream

That is the greatest NSV I've ever read. Nice job.

I learned that a medium (12oz) bag of M&M's has 1760 calories. My weakness... I can eat everyone of those little chocolate morsels in one day and often have. RIP M&M's,

I'd been disgusted with the weight I'd put on in the last 5 years. It was only 30 pounds but I'm only 5" 1.5" tall with a small frame. Besides that it was all (every bit of it) in my midsection. Since I'd read that this is the most unhealthy place to have a fat surplus it worried me a lot but not enough to motivate me to…
