Excellent! You can definitely get those last 16 lbs.

How come you're not eating the extra calories from working out? I know that exercise calories can be inflated, but you should eat back at least some of them. Have you tried the TDEE method? That way you don't actually have to eat back anything, as they are already accounted for in your daily caloric limit.

I can't express how excited I was to open this thread and see Charlie. Hahaha.

My favorite place for healthy food is Greens and Proteins. Delicious, and they put the calories on the menu and website. I think there's two locations. I also love Rachel's Kitchen, which has popped up all over the valley. I've heard amazing things about Go Raw Cafe, but I haven't been there yet. Protein House is good too!

Kind of unrelated, but where are you staying? I live in Las Vegas and there are healthy places to eat, you just have to know where to look! I can give you some ideas. Are you going to be on the strip?

I have an older model Sportline Duo and it's great, even after years of abuse. It has a light on it and you can see your heart rate at the same time as your calorie burn. It uses a chest strap, but you can also do a quick heart rate check with a little sensor that they have (which can also be turned off if you want). I…

Uh..yeah. That. And stuff. :laugh:

This thread should have come with a trigger warning. I am a long-time sandwich addict and I am having horrible cravings after seeing all of the sandwiches on here. It started when I was a teenager. I used to sneak into the kitchen to eat a slice of bread at night. Once I realized that I could add meat and cheese, my life…

At least he's not endorsing what he did. I'm sure some people will still see it as inspirational, even though it's dangerous.

Definitely seems like you should up the calories, but if you're not logging everything then that might not be true. Try to be really consistent with logging. That way, if something isn't working for you, you can adjust as needed. If you're not logging, then adjusting will be hard because you won't be sure what to adjust…

I had no idea that Craigslist had forums. I learned something today.

This made me LOL...maybe more than it should have. I can't stop watching his wiggle.

Ha! :drinker:

It's definitely shocking how many elderly people are approved by their doctors to continue driving. My grandfather got into two major accidents (one in which he ran his car into a mobile home) and his doctor still approved his driving. He said "one more accident and we'll talk about taking away his license." Really? Two…

Very true! Also, I appreciate the phrase "snark flag" and I will be stealing it for future use. Thanks for that. haha

Snark is not the same thing as anger. Haha. But cheers to you anyway. :drinker:

Interesting that you read my initial comment that way. I'm not sure where I said or even implied that you "intentionally" wrote this to annoy me. I think that might say more about you than it does about me. The whole point was that this question comes up constantly, and people ought to be using the search function more…

You're right! I guess I always assumed that everyone else was inundated with ads for various feminine hygiene products from a young age like I was. You know the kind. They are supposed to fix the dreaded period bloat that we experience. You see women in baggy sweatshirts and the narrator is lamenting the effects of…

OP, I apologize if you read my tone as one of belittlement. Not the goal. Once you've been around for awhile, you'll understand why it can get annoying to see people consistently fail to search for things that come up daily (hourly, sometimes). Oh, the tedium! When I first joined, I did the exact same thing as you did, and…

Search. Function. No one needs to hover all day waiting for their topic to show up. That would be incredibly tedious, especially considering all the repetitive posts that show up all the time.

Understandable. Now you know: search function!

I love the irony of this. :laugh:

And why is this thread listed under "Goal: Gaining Weight"?

If you are talking about me, I'm not hangry! I just ate a bunch of leftover Chinese food. Quite yummy. Just tired of the endless parade of questions that 1) all have the same answer, and could be resolved by simply using the search feature, and 2) reflects a kind of shocking lack of observational skills for an adult woman…

Ha! I see what you did there.

At first I was like, "OH, I could totally eat 16,000 cals in one day." But then I thought about it and, man, that is insane. Even if I ate all of the good things, I think I would still top out at 10,000 or so. I guess I'll have to try (you know, for science).

This is so weird and yet so very mesmerizing. Can't...stop...watching...

Exactly this.
