Only blackberries. I hate those damned seeds.

Yeah, because I'm sure the actions of everyone here (even the "old" people) reflects how they act at their jobs. Must be a lot of cat posters at those jobs.

Yeah, never thought of the WWJD argument. Hard to top that!

If giving up bread is going to cause you to go nuts and binge on a few dozen loaves down the road, and decide that losing weight is not for you, then, by all means, eat it. Personally, when I was losing, I considered bread a poor food choice, offering little satiety, considering the calories and minimal amounts of protein.…

Women still do that? From what I've seen, they're apparently not equipped for it anymore, unless they just enjoy the convenience of C-sections.

Well, I don't know. Is there a legal requirement to post nutritional information for food where you live? If not, weight may be the least of your problems.

Ok, to clarify... If I were 150 pounds overweight, I wouldn't consider myself "healthy" based solely on "blood work." I realize that I'm among the minority here. I won't patronize you by posting links (which is all the rage here), but you might want to check out the risk factors for, let's just pick two...heart attacks and…

To play Devil's Advocate (since I certainly ate "junk" while losing, and don't agree with the OP's list): If someone's 300 pounds (to use a nice round number), you can lose weight while eating a lot of unhealthy food. You already were eating a ton of it, just to maintain your previous weight. So, if you go from eating two…

Good question. Let's see... I don't like the way I look when I'm fat. At my heaviest, I was around 40-50 pounds overweight. I didn't like the sight of a big (to me) gut. My concern was based solely on aesthetics. It's unfathomable to me that someone would accept being overweight when health/mobility issues come into play.…

In a world where elections for the head of state can turn, based on a comment taken out of context, due to the lassitude (or inability) of the voting populace to educate themselves (at least in the U.S.), do you really expect a "weight-loss" forum to aspire to a higher standard?
-
Just goes to show you how inconsistent these franchises can be. Planet Fitness Admittedly, I was a bit biased against the place from the beginning, but, at their price, I had to check them out, right? Although their set up was reasonable, the fact that they had no bench press stations was a deal breaker for me (not a big…

Are you sure you actually gained? My weight used to go up by 4-5 pounds in one day, while I was losing, after splurging at a buffet. And this was a regular occurrence, and I weighed religiously, so there is no doubt. Of course, it wasn't actual fat gain, and, since I was rocking a fairly good deficit, I ended up lighter by…
-
^^ This Yeah, I just received very questionable dietary advice from my doctor. So, do I ask him to elaborate, or justify his recommendations? Nah, I'll just hit up the forums and ask there! And yes, docs may not be nutritionists, but this advice is laughable for even a layman.
-
If they "fix" someone's streak, after they neglected to log in (whatever the reason), it kinda defeats the prestige of the achievement, eh?
-
Well, you say "there is just this layer of fat," but also say you "look like a stick." Which is it? Or are you referring to a fat stick? I would guess it's the combination of rapid loss (nice work BTW), along with residual fat, that you're noticing. Also, if the issue can be remedied by weight training (which should…
-
Whether IF works or not, implying you could regain 5-10lbs in a day (and on 5000 calories no less!) is ridiculous misinformation of Oz-like proportions.
-
A caloric surplus is what causes weight gain. A caloric deficit is what causes weight loss. It's a shame that so many can assume the mantle of wisdom by merely repeating such simple, and basic, information, but such is the rampant ignorance that has suffused society. Out of the three macros (protein, fat, carbs), carbs are…
-
So is this just a "doctors aren't always right" post? Do people even exist, in this day and age, that feel they are infallible? That being said, given your current goals, you would still lose weight faster (1200 < 1380, yes?) following this "poor" advice. Of course, you can eat fruit (or twinkies, or doughnuts, et cetera,…

Ever heard of the Monkey's Paw?
-
According to you, you're unable to get appropriate advice from the "professionals," due to the fact they're not sufficiently trained for your particular situation (Was there no screening process? Did you have any control over this?). I don't think it even needs to be said that you can't compare your "calories in / calories…

Unlike some who may say that meal replacement shakes are a bad idea, I feel they could be an effective tool. Of course, it's all about calories at the end of the day. If the shakes help YOU keep the calories at goal, then they worked. It's about making a sustainable change. Do you plan on drinking these shakes for the rest…

If this is a troll post (which I believe it is, in my ill-informed opinion), you should try to be more creative. Even for a diet-centric site, this record gets played so often, it's lost its bite. If this is a legitimate "cry for help," please don't use public forums seeking life-threatening medical advice. That being…

I think it tastes better out of the toilet.

Didn't you say "Peace Out," or something like that? I'm not an expert on idioms, but doesn't that usually mean you are going away?

You seem to know a lot about this guy's motivations and reactions...wait a minute...are you that guy?

The calories in the soda take the place of something, or should she drink the soda instead of eating food? I'm not a IIFYM expert, but what macro does soda help complete exactly? ETA: I will concede, if you hit all your macros otherwise, the soda won't hinder your progress if it's within your caloric goals. But most that…
-
Sure, you can lose weight and drink soda. Soda has absolutely no nutritional benefit, however, and all it will do is slow down your progress.
-
And maybe some handle their "bad habits" by avoiding situations that precipitate them. Why does how someone else deals with their issues such a concern to so many here?
-
Actually, the OP "revived" it a couple of days ago. (Oh, and to answer your question...I presume it's for the same reason they get enjoyment from posting humorous gifs?)
-
A well-presented viewpoint on the positive aspects of the so-called "deprivation" of avoiding foods high in fat and sugar? And without supporting your claim with a tasteful kitty gif? You must be new here. It's hard for some to understand that unreasonable food indulgence isn't the "healthy" relationship with food.
