i never really did a committed calorie log count. But it seems to work. I have had personal trainers since 2005 and I did lose 150 lbs from 350, but when you stop being dedicated it creeps back up . I am now dependent on myself. ( i go to a trainer now Mondays for monitoring and exercise, I love the MMA fighting we do) I…

Chozen. Arrow. and always American Horror Story.

Yep, watching Xtube and spanking the monkey.

Giving a nod to the men, here. I might be a senior but quality of life is so important as we age. I did not start lifting weights until I was 56 but never too late. Muscle mass did come. Never wanted to be a Prada model but beefy and healthy is ok by me. Blood stats need to be in check. Happy in my home with my little…

High Fructose Corn Syrup: invented in 1957 through enzymatic action. Made up of Glucose with a fructose conversion process. It is cheap so widely replaced more expensive cane and beet sugar which are sucrose. It is unnatural since it is invented. I avoid HFCS not matter what TV propaganda bombards with all sugar is equal.…

In my blender (Vitamix): Frozen Fruit of choice and Non Fat Greek Yogurt: add flavoring and or sweetener of choice. Home made ice cream and creamy good.

Yes for any contestant on Ru Paul's Drag Race.

Whatever happened to the Ramadan challenge?

'Nothing is so common as the desire to be remarkable'....... William Shakespeare. Losing weight gives confidence, self esteem, but do it for health and longevity. Losing weight is not the magic bullet to cure life's woes. As far as what is expected. ....... I have such a wide range of friends and family, who never married…

Nostalgia got to me: Retrospective: The Best of Buffalo Springfield. Most never heard of them but the talent that came out of that band. Classic Rock n Roll. Showing my Counterculture Roots and age.

are the poor fat? hmmmm talking USA only? Cuz I don't see the poor in Africa or India looking huge as they beg in the streets. Depends what you buy with food stamps I guess.

It seems unsanitary. It is bad enough now wiping off equipment. Who wants someone's nether regions smeared over mats and benches.

I really like faux egg salad: Use same recipe but substitute firm tofu cubed.

Tell him he was not the last of the red hot lovers and you faked your orgasms out of pity.

forget about weight. What are your stats. What size clothes do you want? Do women want to wear a Size 2 or 0? I have been told that does exist. Of course height matters. Ask critics what is their clothes size or waist size. Compare and that is a read.

Define skinny? Underweight bony ...... ughh. Look healthy and robust, not fat. I mean all those Real Housewives all skinny with plastic boob are fugly.

'evidence' .... well the food industry loves that term. Prove a food is bad. Prove that God exists. Prove all calories are equal. No they are not. Just ask your taste buds. Like saying all gas is equal in a car when you have grades that vary the price you pay or in the case the price your body pays for certain calories.

Drink white wine spritzers, that is so 70s .

Again I think rather to approach food as I want this and not that. Don't think of it as deprived of things I want. See that Krispy Kreme donut. I do not want that I want this Blueberry Yogurt Parfait. When you want that chocolate cake say I want only this much ( a controlled portion ). I find it helpful not to 'desire'…

I make my brown rice as a base starch for my own stir fried fried rice with lots of veggies and add one egg or eggbeaters. It is my quick health meal, no meat.

Maybe they are counting 'points' like in WW or like I was given at first by a trainer. Carbs/Fruits/Veg/Dairy/Fat/Protein adjusted to points or portions allowed in a daily intake. WW have veggies / fruit as free so they are not really counting calories either.

There are 'fruit soup' recipes online. Melons are popular. Those are summer soups though like gazpacho. But I eat frozen yogurt in winter I make myself.

My gym mostly has equipment with the sliding pin into weights so no racking required. It is not really a free weight gym with only a Smith Machine which I abhor. I have a cage and Olympic set in my garage for that. But the machines are decent and allows fast and just wipe away when your done.

You cannot make a genuine real good genuine tasting Mexican Tamale without pork lard. I don't care what anyone says. That is why portion and tamale as a special holiday treat homemade, not an every week meal. And for a pie crust Leaf Lard reigns supreme.

whatever this site suggests for me I ignore. I just use this site as a calorie counter. I do not even eat the calories they suggest. I am usually under. All I knew that since I just count my calories I have lost 15 lbs since I started here about a month.

Good.... is a subjective cultural idea and changes with fashion trends. Good is good blood work and shopping for clothes is fun for you and not a dreaded burden squeezing into clothes. I never never would want to be the weight of those stupid charts that go by height. I would look like a frail shell of a man.

Why do women Complain about sexism yet want to be objectified by putting it all out there? Yeah I have to stare at those tiny short shorts and wonder Duh you want me to stare at your *kitten* while I am on the treadmill.

First decide if the red light food aka Chocolate can be portion controlled to 100 cal portions if not, Give them away. I have 2 boxes of chocolates but I keep them out of sight in my garage. I will give them away as a house gift when I visit a friend. And finding a non fattening treat to give someone is hard so for…

I was raised on yogurt as a savory item so adding sweet and fruit was foreign to me. Yogurt with squeezed lemon juice and a little Olive Oil with pita bread and a dash of salt. Adjust as you see fit. I never never buy flavored yogurt or with fruit. Make my own now if I need that. Breakfast parfait with cereal and yogurt…
