I don't exercise. I don't have time. I work 8-5, pick up my child by 5:30, get home by 6, feed him, bathe him, and have him in bed by 7:30. My evenings are spent in a perpetual cycle of cooking, cleaning, laundry, and keeping up with my home. So I guess I get minimal "cleaning exercise". And I listen to music and dance…

I rarely laugh out loud when reading things but this....this did it. Best of luck to your child, honey boo boo!!!

Totally agree. I'm not into the whole "starvation diet" thing. I really believe in eating well and nourishing your body and I feel like I am neglecting mine right now. I think I'm just gonna switch it back to 1600 and see if that doesn't make a huge difference.

Thank you ladies. I forgot that I think I did set it to either 1.5 or 2lbs a week -- I guess I asked for it, huh? I definitely felt better when I was eating 1600 and yes, I do have a desk job but now that I think about it, I don't really sit down once I leave work until I go to sleep (I don't watch tv or anything). Usually…

By the way, I've only been doing this since Monday. haha And I'm on my period so maybe I'm just feeling extra greedy right now!!

My diary is public -- thought it already was but it was for friends only. I eat protein, vegis, fruits, yogurt mainly. I don't usually eat much bread at all, although I have the past 2 days because I thought maybe it would make me feel fuller. I just cant imagine that a measly 1300 calories is sufficient for someone my…

Do you log beer as water? No? Then don't log coffee as water. Drink your water pure -- and lots of it!

Holy cow.... yall should all be nutritionists and scientists. I agree with the article, however, I thought most of the 5 points were old news and general knowledge. I didn't know anyone still thought a low-fat, high-carb diet is healthy, or that fake butter is better than real, or that corn and soybean oils are healthy.…

Your argument is obsolete. The whole point of the argument is that waiters make $2.13 and hour and the server system is set up to make their living on tips. When you take your car to get worked on, you know that little (or rather BIG) section of the bill that says LABOR? Yes, that is paid for the physical work beyond the…

I didn't say take out was too hard. I said it isn't instantaneous. I don't chose whether or not to offer take-out. Some bigger places may have people who get paid more and are strictly in charge of it (i.e. Outback, Chilis, etc.) but at smaller places, it is the responsibility of everyone. And if $4 versus $3 really breaks…

I don't chose whether or not to offer take-out. Some bigger places may have people who get paid more and are strictly in charge of it (i.e. Outback, Chilis, etc.) but at smaller places, it is the responsibility of everyone. And if $4 versus $3 really breaks your bank, you shouldn't be eating out. That's it in a nutshell.…

For those of you who say you never tip on a to-go order because it doesn't involve any work -- what do you think, that it miraculously appears all put together for your eating pleasure? I worked in the food service industry for 8 years and I freaking hated to-go orders. On top of my regular guests who were dining in, I had…

:Body Edition. Great job!!

You look better on the right (In my opinion) You got a donk. Lol I bet most men would prefer it as well. And to be honest, you don't look happy on the left either. You have to love yourself. There is no other answer. Love love love. Love yourself girl, or nobody will. I hope you can find self-love. When your mind is…

sounds like paleo. good luck

I also am looking to lose 30 lbs by July 1st. I am on here several times per day and my diary is public -- feel free to add me!

Did you say you work out 60-90 minutes 5-6 times per DAY?? Did you mean week?? Holy crap

Well you've got the right attitude so that's a big start!! I too have a son but he's only 6 months old. Fortunately, I didn't gain a lot of weight and i've never carried my weight in my stomach but it's def there. I would suggest cutting out all PROCESSED carbs. At least for a while and see if you notice a difference. For…

If you come at the king, you best not miss. ;)

A birds nest with guacamole on top & a banana on the side.

The only person who hasn't noticed that is Stevie Wonder. I really think it could be a gender gap. If you were a woman, all of your woman friends would have commented. I can only assume that it's not really something dudes talk about unless the dudes in question are the type who spend all day talking about protein and…

Go on with yo bad self!!! Awesome job baby girl. Hope to join you in the ranks one day. PS - You don't even look like you weigh 228 now!! You carry it very well.

Wow thanks everyone!! All great suggestions. I know 500 calories is generous enough to work with, but you know how you tend to get stuck in ruts of cooking the same thing all the time. PS- how do you "bump" ??

You can pretty much use toast as a vessel to carry any yumminess. Fry an egg and put some salsa on top, a little cream cheese and fig chutney, almond butter and apple butter, cream cheese, smoked salmon and red onion

AVOCADO is so yummy and healthy. I also love a little real butter with some organic strawberry preserves. yummm Also, if you eat eggs, I love a "birds nest" where you cut out a circle in the middle of the bread and fry an egg in the middle. Topped with some homemade guacamole. Delish.

Yup. I was just getting down about this this morning, actually. I've been trying so hard and have been so honest with myself for the past week. I am set up to lose 1.5 lbs a week but I only lost 0.4 argggg. However, I have already lost 1.5" off my waist & 0.5" off my calves.

Thanks everyone!! I'll have to read these responses 3 times each to try to wrap my head around it haha but I appreciate it!!

Thanks everyone!
