  • Do you ever write Batman/Daredevil fanfiction? huge nerd here and bats is one of my favorite superheroes.
  • I tend to make a smoothie and grab a boiled egg (I pre-boil enough eggs for the week). I always eat breakfast once I get to work since I'm usually out the door by 5:50am.
  • I log daily, I've got a 231 day streak that I don't plan on breaking any time soon. Feel free to add me. :)
  • Rainbow chips ahoy Smarties Chocolate pudding Chocolate chip icecream (mint chocolate chip is good too) Cinnamon beaver tails, the garlic and cheese ones are good too Mozzerella sticks Chicken wings

  • ^ This is all great advice! I'll be sending you a friend request as I can relate to how you feel... I'm 27 and started my journey at 338lbs. I always felt great but realized I needed to get fit and lose weight when the bunk broke on me on my last backpacking trip. I was so mortified that I only stayed in that hostel the…
  • I started to notice a difference in myself at about 20lbs (my stomach looked like it was getting a little flater, my thighs were less rounded and more lean, etc) but people didn't start noticing until I lost 45-50lbs. I'm assuming they might have noticed earlier but didn't mention anything beacuse weight can be a sensitive…
  • I will be eating and logging and moving on. I'm with cwolfman13 on this. Just because it's the holidays it's not reason to go crazy and binge every day. On the actual day that there's something I plan on eating in moderation. For instance, Christmas Eve my family has always gone to an all you can eat chinese buffet. I'll…
  • Weekdays it's a fruit/protein smoothie (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, bananas, 200-250ml unsweetened almond milk, half a scoop whey protein isolate. If I have extra fruit laying around I'll add it. I might be putting in some kiwi and persimmon's soon, I have too many on my counter to eat before they…
  • It's not noticeable in my pictures but I'm pretty heavily tattooed. So far I'm down 52 lbs and they haven't distorted, they seem just as good as ever. I do have a small tattoo on my inner forearm and so far it's fine, if anything it looks better than before. The color seems to have gotten more intense which makes it pop…
  • Oh man, I have this problem too! But isn't it also a great problem to have? It's been said but thrift stores. It's seriously a great option for something that you know you'll only wear a few times.
  • Oh man, I would kill to have winters only drop to 15 degrees. Are you talking Fahrenheit or Celsius? Still 15F is waaay warmer than my usual winters. Either way, that doesn't matter. :) Do you have stairs at home? If so, are those problematic for you? If not you could try going up/the stairs for a workout. I've started…
  • It's been said but it depends on how much you have to lose. I lost 50lbs in 6 months but I started with 200lbs to lose. I did it through healthy eating, portion control, and plenty of gym time (8-12 hours a week). I have a mix of cardio and strength training. If you only have 50lbs to lose I wouldn't recommend trying to do…
  • My thighs have gotten smaller and my butt has lifted which gives it the appearance of getting bigger.
  • 338lbs. I'm currently at 286 and dropping. I never plan to get over 300 again and after I drop below 200lbs I will never be that heavy again as well. My goal is to get somewhere between 145-155lbs but we'll see how I feel as I get closer to my goal. I would rather weight a little more and be fit and healthy than weigh less…

  • Hey, I started out here in May at 338lbs. I'm down to 287lbs. Some advice I can give you that helped me: -Get a food scale if you don't already have one. It seriously does help with accurate logging. -Log accurately/honestly and log every day. -Make room for treats, otherwise you may potentially end up giving in and…
  • If I could, I would log accurately during holidays too so you aren't really alone. My problem is it's too difficult (I have a huuuge family and we always do a potluck) taking the time to measure and log everything would be a bit of a pain, especially since it's not at my place or my parents. If it was at my place then…
  • For holiday meals I tend to over guesstimate. I also throw in a good workout in the morning.
  • Ditto to what FaithfulJewel and Kristinemomo said. I didn't get my first boyfriend until I was 27. The relationship didn't last long because we weren't right for each other. You're young, enjoy yourself and don't look too hard. The right guy will come along.
  • I have mine set to about 100g a day but I really don't focus on it. If I go over, I go over. No big deal.
  • I'm going to say it's just temporary. Try giving your body time to adjust to the new eating routine. I switched mine around in the summer and gained a bit but it bounced back within 2-3 weeks (once my body adapted to the new routine)
  • I'll only take baked goods if I can fit it into my day. If's it's storebought then I won't even consider making room for it.
  • I have a pretty bad sweet tooth and know what you mean. Lots of my coworkers are bringing in sweets for the holidays too. I've decided to not have anything storebought at all. It's just not worth it, but if it's something that's been homemade then I will indulge in a tiny something in moderation. Liftng4Lis mentioned that…
  • ^ This or a small container with raw almonds. Edit: But if I bring the almonds then I usually bring fruit to go with it so the boiled egg tends to be easier.
  • It was Rapunzel that was locked in a tower, Cinderella lived with her evil step mother and step sisters. :p But yes, Rapunzel could have been up there because of the smell
  • Is this for the 25lb-50lb challenge? If so, today's weigh in should be posted in the group itself....
