Yep, for this week. I would like to get 2-4 more lbs off this week. And then I'll bring up the calories next week. I'm NOT going to go out and have a pie to celebrate. I'd rather whack off a couple more pounds this week and re-set the calories next week.

Lots of good ideas though.........................Gonna have an orange later.

Yes. I dont see myself eating three Oreos. Playing with fire..................

Hmmmm.................Fig Bars.

Doesn't have to be healthy. I just want something tasty, sweet, and filling under 200 calories.

I used Red Devil Cayenne Pepper sauce in place in Buffalo sauce. No cal No carbs

trying to stay under 200 calories. 3 oreos are about 150. 6 oreos are 'bout tree fiddy.......

Hmmmm. After 8 chocolates at 40 cals...........................

2 hersey bars = 420 calories 16 small slices of american cheese= 1600 calories Thats 2000 eating nothing else. Still think you can't hit 2000??? As for your thyroid, that effects your metabolism. I would have your RMR test done to get some real answers.

In your case it is not necessary. Abs are built in the kitchen, not on the treadmill. Weight training and diet will take care of your LBM. And you will have more time and energy for your workouts.

I just threw up in my mouth....................

You are 5'7" 205 pounds and you think you are eating too much??? You have to be kidding. You dont gain weight from "eating too little". You need to have a calorie deficit. 2000 calories a day is way too much. And I am sure that you are way over that figure anyway. Less calories and more excercise is the answer. Get an RMR…

how much have you been losing per week on 850 calories??? Is this recent or has this been going on for a while.

I dont do the Atkins plan. I do IF with low cal/carb high cal/carb cycling, HIT weight training, and moderate cardio. But I do use low cal/carb ingredients such a coconut oil, almond flour and unsweetened almond milk. BTW the Atkins phase where you drop to under 25g of carbs is the Induction Phase that only lasts 2 weeks.…

There is a lot of disinformation, so if you want to go low carb go the Atkins site and get a free starter kit and get advice there on their protocols. Atkins is NOT a no carb diet, it is a low carb lifestyle. Low carb could be 25,50,75,100 or more grams. Not ZERO>. And once you learn about the substitute foods for flour…

A lot of the online calculators over estimate how many calories you should be eating. And IMO too many forum members are on this whole eat eat eat nonsense. For the most part, people eat too much NOT to little. That is why they are fat and are not losing. Everybody loves to hear that they can eat more. But, they reality is…

Skip breakfast............................go straight to lunch. Breakfast is over rated anyway.

Have your metabolism checked. Get a rmr test and a vo2 max test. With your medical history I would assume they would be covered by insurance. With that data you can structure a good diet and exercise program.

What type of drinks??? Unless they are no cal, you should be logging them too. Don't eat back calories initially. What is your weekly deficit and does it match your projections (whatever they are) of what you should be losing. There is nothing wrong with excercising and losing more than a pound or two a week. People on…

Honey, You are eating way too much sugar.......... I mean Sugar, You are eating way too much honey...............WTF nevermind

A tootsie roll that was squished in the middle......................

And make sure you treat your new boyfriend of a week better than you ever treated your fiance. Wear thongs, lingerie, string bikinis, and do all of those nasty things that you refused to do to your fiance. And make sure he finds about your new change in "attitude". Your fiance sounds like a wimp and he needs to butch up a…

Yes. You can drink too much water and you will retain it as excess weight. http://www.livestrong.com/article/478235-can-drinking-too-much-water-prevent-weight-loss/

If you do lose weight, will you leave him? Many women like to "trade up" after they get off a few pounds. And if he is an unattractive guy to begin with, it may not be "insecurity", but simply an honest self assessment on his part.

Had my weigh in this morning: 217lbs.!!! A 10lb weight (fat) loss in one week. The largest weight loss I have ever had, in spite of eating more, doing less cardio, and doing less intense cardio. This nutrionist/body builder is a genius. He wants me to follow the same program for another week and then we will reaccess after…

Actually I have cited 4 scientific articles that address the issue. Your narrow viewpoint on what you read on a forum is not really compelling evidence to the contrary. And continuing to be argumentative "that my brother this", or "my sister that", is really not convincing evidence to dispute the fact that there are…

Why not weight training? Are you near a gym? Its probably the quickest and most effective way toward weight loss.

Far from drowning. And I would assert that the body of scientific evidence is showing that the genetic component may be stronger than the psycological and environmental issues for many people. Not all. But Some people are helpless in controling their weight.

Yes they do.

That is a really sound diet program you have there. When is the book coming out? "How to Lose Weight When I Take Away All your Food" by Mr Knight. Its not a realistic strategy for the millions of people who suffer from obesity and may have a genetic defect/issue.
