Another prime example of why I'm not going to date ANY time soon... The other day at the gym a guy asked for my phone number and wanted to take me out. First off, I'm not a huge fan of conversing while I'm trying to work out but he was handsome so I figured, eh what the hell, and gave it to him. We've talked a few other…

Here we go again... I eat 1200 calories everyday. I lose about 2 pounds/week and do NOT feel like I'm starving all the time. I feel better than I ever have. I eat a lot of lean meats, veggies and some complex carbs. My diet is open to the public so have a look if you'd like to see how it's done. I also work out 5…

Way to judge. Actually no I didn't have any friends in town. I was new to the area and I didn't have cash for a cab. I'm going to tell some guy I just met that I'm driving his car? He was the idiot in the situation and you're judging me... Cool!

I've been single for the last 2 years and I don't see that changing anytime soon. The last date I went on was from Match.com a few months ago and it was literally a date from hell. He got drunk, started hitting on the waitress, acted like a belligerent jacka$$, and when I asked him to take me back to my car he drove like a…

If your protein shake tastes bad, you bought the wrong one. Optimum Nutrition = effing delicious.

I like seeing the little prediction, although I usually end up losing more than it says.

I went through a very similar situation while getting off of it. I had definite withdrawals, slept for a week straight, had to take off work and felt horrible. I could barely keep my eyes open for about a month after I quit taking it. It has been almost two years since I stopped taking Adderall and I finally feel like I am…

If you aren't losing weight on 1200 calories then you are eating more than you think you are. Are you weighing all your food? Accurately logging? 500 calories seems a bit high for 45 minutes of HIIT and running. And by you eating 1350 calories + 500 exercise calories you're at about 1850 calories for the day -- assuming…

The only time I correct someone is if it looks like they are really going to hurt themselves or if they look completely clueless on how a machine works. I will usually only help women because anytime I've ever helped men they give me the whole "I know what I'm doing" look, even if they don't.

You always weigh food raw or before cooking.

Lets get one thing straight, OP. Phentermine is not a "supplement". It is a narcotic. It will artificially suppress your appetite and you will not learn how to change the behaviors that caused you to become overweight in the first place. I used to be prescribed Adderall for years (similar properties to Phentermine, but…

I think that is an over estimation of calories burned. 1800 seems a bit high, heart rate monitor or not. Furthermore, I wouldn't recommend trying to eat all those exercise calories back if you are trying to lose weight. Just sayin.

I eat 8 egg whites and 1 whole egg everyday... I only eat one yolk/day because of the cholesterol and they are much higher in calories than just the whites. Does this seem excessive? Maybe :bigsmile:

If she is not losing weight she is eating too many calories. She is either underestimating her intake or overestimating her calories burned. Invest in a digital food scale. Of course this kind of post will attract the people that will say "increase her calories" which is RIDICULOUS!!! :explode: A caloric deficit is needed…

I've done 24 hour fasts before without nausea or dizziness, but if I drink some kinds of herbal tea on an empty stomach I can get extremely nauseous. It may just be the tea.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I LIKE when a man is polite enough to help when I'm struggling to do something. I find it insulting when they see me having difficulty and don't offer to help. Call me crazy...

moist napkin... I don't know why, I just hate that word. booger -- without a doubt the grossest word EVER.

You will probably get a bunch of backlash in this post so please be ready for that... a lot of people on MFP feel the need to defend their diet, even when it's not really necessary to do so. That being said, I eat a "clean" diet for the most part. I call it eating "bro foods". Google bro foods if you've never heard the…

I've only been doing intermittent fasting for a week but I'm completely sold. I'm doing the leangains version, so daily 16 hour fast with an 8 hour eating window. Sometimes I do 18/6. I've lost 4 pounds this week. I feel so much better. I work out fasted and I feel amazing during the workout, especially when I lift. I…

I never thought in a million years I would have gym anxiety... but I did!! I used to be a personal trainer and I LOVED working out at the gym -- because I was in great shape. Then I became pregnant, gained 70 pounds, moved to a new area and had my son. While tryng to lose the baby weight, every single time I went to the…

This is very simple. You are eating too many calories. If you want validation that it's starvation mode, then go ahead and eat more calories and see what happens... Track your calories if you want to lose weight. If you HAVE to eat the school lunch then you'll have to make up for it through the rest of the day. Try…

I think it really depends on the person. A lot of people benefit from incorporating foods they love into their calories so they never feel deprived. I, on the other hand, avoid those foods all together and that's what works for me. If I just stay away from my favorite "bad" foods (flaming hot Cheetos, ice cream, pizza,…

Those macros are cray. I do 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat... works like a charm :bigsmile: Another popular one is: 35% carbs 35% protein 30% fat Good luck to you!

Chipotle Burrito Bowl with chicken, brown rice, pico, medium salsa and black beans -- 505 calories! My favorite :) Cracker Barrel Peppercorn Steak with broccoli and side salad with vinaigrette -- 430 calories Both meals are SUPER filling.

I will probably avoid the forums for a month or two in fear that my head will explode with all the typical "do I really have to eat back my exercise calories", "I'll start lifting weights after I lose the fat", "a calorie is not a calorie", "starvation mode" derp has at least slowed down :explode: But then again, MFP just…
