I'm a sucker for accents. (I have your generic Midwestern accent) No matter what they look like that automatically adds points in their favor. Also, I love a rakish beard or other jaunty features. Honestly, I like a man who has the perfect amount of sass.

You can cut so many unnecessary calories out of your fast food meal by avoiding: French Fries Mayonnaise Soda (Don't drink your calories) Ranch Dip/Sauce "Secret Sauces" It also depends on what kind of diet you're doing. I mean if you're watching your cholesterol and sodium intake Nyxks advice is great, just as taramaureen…

I opt for going out to coffee instead of going out to dinner. I also like going out to lunch instead of dinner. You get smaller lunch portions, better prices, and a chance to redeem yourself with exercise. One of the hardest lessons I've had to learn is that I can't force the others around me to change too, and more often…

I would rather cook my own healthy food. Most of it was only tolerable. It wasn't worth the money.

Cliffs of Mohr are beautiful and scenic. In between Shannon and Limerick is a little town/village called Bunratty. They have a nice castle and historical village. Their idea of bacon is wayyyyyyyyy different than ours too. It's more like a fatty piece of Canadian bacon. And if you want to do an extremely cheap short side…

I'm not a doctor, nor should my word be taken as gospel, but I experienced that for the first 2 weeks of my diet, and the first couple of times I had bad calorie days. But there's a positive side too. The first time you see that scale decrease you feel absolutely fantastic. Also, I'm able to differentiate between actual…

Awesome... so who wants to weigh in on White Sox or Cubs? I'll start with White Sox of course. Someone mentioned the Bulls. I don't really follow NBA anymore (they'd be my team if I did though), but NCAA DI my loyalty is to my school the Valparaiso Crusaders and I really enjoy IU. I of course love the Blackhawks. Now this…

Your metabolism slows down at night especially when you are sleeping. I try to keep the day balanced (more or less an OCD symptom) however I would consider a few things when approaching this topic. Are you going hungry throughout the day, or are you eating those remaining calories just because you have them to spare? Maybe…

Well thanks for the opinion, but if you have an answer to my question it would be much appreciated.

Stay active on the website. It will be your best friend. Also make a few friends while you're on here. I root for others. They root for me. It's not always a walk in the park, but the people on here are active generally will speak with you bluntly but with the best intentions in mind.

I don't know if any of you have ever heard of Sally Davies Happy Meal Project, but check it out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallydavies/5129001112/ Kind of makes it a little less appetizing.

Christmas is pretty far off. Shake weights look EXTREMELY boring anyways. Why not think about all this nice weather coming our way (aka spring and summer) and plan a kayaking or whitewater rafting trip.

Your insight was very helpful. I can do it, and so can you. If you ever want support feel free to message me or friend me.

I agree. I usually prepare my food for the next day when I'm not coming in at 1am. Orange was what I grabbed as I was running out my door at 8:30.

I'm trying not to be extremely hard on myself, it's just become a little extra of a hurdle for me since joining this website because OCD runs in the family. I've never been diagnosed with it myself, but I've never considered getting checked out for it. I won't lie. I think about the calories meticulously. Thinking about…

Is he perhaps gaining muscle mass? My suggestion would be to find someone to have a consultation with. They individualize a plan for him with nutrition and exercise that would be beneficial to his goals.

My suggestion, ambiguous support. Example: C'mon, you can do this! Can be taken as "don't slack, make this work" or "great job keep going".

Former Lutheran here. Hotdish. That's all I have to say.

Did that yesterday :)

Thumbs up!

I'm not sure what your weight-loss goals are, but I thought I'd mention that for long-term weight-loss the meal replacements may not be the best route because it demands a lifestyle change that may not be realistic in the long run. Also this website will list some B12 rich foods. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitaminb12/

I WANT TO FIND a calorie free bacon stuffed cheeseburger topped with bacon, onion straws and bbq. I also want to find this for less than 5 bucks, but it tastes like it's worth 5 million bucks.

Thank you everyone. :)

Well I think my first mistake was waiting this long to eat. Skipped breakfast. I thought the quote needed to be shared with more people.

Feel free to request me. I'm gay and can't relate to men especially over something as sensitive as weight-loss.
