Newbie here, I am 46 and finally landed in the normal BMI Zone (24.6). That was my ultimate goal. Now I want to lose 10 more lbs until I go on my Germany vacation in July. 10 lbs in 3 month should be doable. Age is no excuse!

I like the peanut and chocolate bars. Lots of protein. My perfect snack at work.

Go back to bed, its to early in the morning :s

Then call it something else than "bad". For example "That thing, that causes health issues for some people"

Exactly, that's why it is bad to say: Diet soda is good or bad. Some people have health issues drinking it, others are perfectly fine with it.

Yes, it is bad for some people.

If you don't experience any health issues, enjoy. I can't drink any kind of diet soda, my belly gets very bloated and I feel like crap. No problems with regular soda.

:)

I wish, no, 46, middle aged and in great health. But thanks for the concerns and great advices.

I just go for the number on the scale. Working to build muscle back later.

No, cause I want to lose weight fast.

Tried it once, didn't lose much and got constipated. Found a bettet way!

True, but not because of the chocolate.

Stupid comparison

Of course there are bad foods. Some of the stuff sold in the US is not even legal in the EU like Olestra or rBST etc. also some foods still contain transfats, which are health risky. Any processed food with a ton of E Nr. are IMO bad but we all eat it.

I have never been obese, just slightly overweight. My BMI is around 25,5. I weigh 147 lbs and my goal is 130 lbs by July. I am losing around 1 lbs per week by cutting 3500 cal. I would love to lose a lot faster but there is no way, I can eat less without beeing hungry all the time. Patience is the magic word and its hard…

My real weight is the average weekly weight that my aria scale sends to my fitbit. That's why I weigh in daily.

Anything with protein and carb together. Eggs and oatmeal or wasa bread and cheese.

Maybe this time its harder to lose because your body memorizes and desperately want to hold on to fat etc. Jojo-Effect? You get the same result again but this time it might just take twice as long so just be super patient.

Just let customer service know. They send you a new one in case of loss or damage.

According to some new Australian studies it is OK. You lose weight faster but at the end its all about maintaining.

Yes, its unbelievable how much sugar Starbuck puts in these things. Like the Chai Latte, just nasty!

low cal mayonnaise, mustard, lime juice, salt and pepper.

When I first came to the U.S I was shocked to see so many obese people. Especially in Florida. Now it seems totally normal. I don't even notice it so much anymore. Its just sad!

I eat eggs or tuna fish. Something high protein, fat.

Hmmm, fat gives me plenty of energy.

Exactly the same. Works great!

I just wonder why people lie to themselves. Or are they really not aware of what they eat all day?

I don't care. Back in germany we even took showers together in the gym in a big common shower room and EVERYONE was naked in the locker room. Always have to laugh when I see curtains here everywhere in the shower room. But its just a different country and things are different.
