Look at that! And only 19 short pages for you to agree with the original post.

At this stage of the game it seems you are just willfully missing the point.

Thank you for this!!!! Any form of exercise has always resulted in my nose running like a faucet, but I've never had a name for it. My trainer thinks I'm nuts, so I'm going to show her this lol.

I'm 5'8, started at 158, now 141 and I eat 1400 on an average day. I find I start gaining if I go over 1700, but that's just me!

Same here! One of my favorite lunches is a salad with grilled chicken that I make, but I limit how often I bring it because it tends to be one of my higher calorie lunches with everything that's in there.

Did you check out Market Basket, as I suggested yesterday? Boneless, skinless chicken breast is $1.99 a pound right now. You could stock up and freeze it! I just grabbed several packages last night while it's on sale...that could last you a while for minimal cost.

Because then someone else can make their own correction, possibly reverting it back to its original inaccurate state :)

OP, since you're really new to this I want to point out that the database is user generated. You'll find entries like "guilt, 100 grams", "Blood of the innocent" which are obviously bs lol. I won't give an opinion on Isagenix, as I'm not familiar, just don't place too much importance on an item being in the database. It…

I live in New Hampshire, right next door to Massachusetts as you might have noticed, and I know that both states are full of Market Baskets, which happen to be one of the cheapest stores around. Find one near you, I'd just about guarantee there is one, and check out their weekly circular. They have amazing deals and I…

Nice work! I hope he's as proud of himself as you are!!

Feel free to add me as a friend if you ever need anything! The people here are really helpful as a rule and you'll find the forums can be a really great source of information when you have questions. There's always a few nonsense threads lol, but you can usually pick those out based on the responses :)

I use an app called Libra to track my weight in the same way and I love it. It shows me the overall downward trend, tells me my average rate of loss per week, my average caloric deficit, projects a date I'll reach goal based on past data and most importantly, has allowed me to view that number as a data point and not the…

I've been trying to find a way to say this that doesn't come across as judgey, as it isn't at all my intention, but we're friends on here and before today, I noticed you hadn't been on for quite a while. The absolute best advice I can offer in regards to losing the pooch is to log consistently and try to get some extra…

No. Eating more = slower weight loss.

I absolutely agree and for what it's worth, my post wasn't in response to your comment or the one from glassofroses. I too had a similar issue with an ex, and like yours, the unhealthy dietary habits were only one piece of the incompatibility puzzle. If his unwillingness to change begins to impede her ability to succeed…

I'm honestly a little surprised that some have been so quick to suggest ditching this man. The vast majority of us are here because we have struggled/are struggling with our weight, so I'd think as a group we'd be more sympathetic to what the boyfriend might be feeling. I know I've felt the insecurity and shame that comes…

Man after my own heart here! lol

It sounds to me like he may be feeling insecure. When both of you have gained weight, it feels comfortable, but when one of you starts making changes and improving your appearance, the other may feel as if they'll no longer be good enough for this new and improved you. It might be beneficial to both of you to have a…

I believe she meant to quote the post below yours where this comment was made :) : "Considering the OP has been unreliable in BMI reporting, I think we need more info." Because OP hasn't been "unreliable" in reporting her BMI, the poster just missed her clarification that a BMI of 27 is when the comments began.

Of course the calories don't change, but the weight does, which in turn affects the calories if you're using the package's calorie count, which is based on raw meat. For example, I have a 5 oz piece of raw chicken breast, which after cooking, now weighs 3.2 oz. If I log 3.2 oz raw chicken, that's incorrect and I'm entering…

I've tried most of the flavors and personally, I think they're really good. I like the cookies and cream and the coffee chip one, although I can't recall the exact name of the flavor right now!

You can customize your macros. If the default carb setting isn't working for you, adjust your percentages so you have increased fat or protein intake and decreased carbs. Go to "Goals" in the menu and under the heading "Nutrition Goals" you'll see "Calorie and Macronutrient Goals". Select that and click on any of the…

I have to admit, I own a noisy dog and I promise I hate it as much as everyone else in the vicinity. We've done what we can to train it out of him, but according to our vet and trainer: some dogs are just barkers! Personally, I'd really hesitate to take steps that could result in someone having to give up their dog. There…

Right, but this is only an issue if someone specifically asked for your help. I, for example, don't ask for or want any help in the form of dietary advice, so I keep my diary private to avoid comments from people who feel the need to offer it unsolicited anyway.

I struggled with the same thing for a long time and honestly have just figured myself out in the last few months. One of my tricks (as weird as this is) is to go stand naked in front of the mirror before I go shopping and tell myself "This is where eating junk got you". I don't view it as negative self talk or as a…

I completely agree. I will offer suggestions if someone is looking for guidance and/or if intervention of some sort seems necessary, but unless I see something dangerous or wildly inaccurate, I view it as yet another item on a long list of things that aren't my business. I think you're right to abide by that :) even when…

I just want to give my 2 cents as someone with a closed diary that no, I don't think it's rude at all! I used to have my diary open, but I found that it resulted in more frequent comments on my dietary choices than I was comfortable with (be it during a discussion in the forums or from friends on my page). As an example of…

My boyfriend is extremely lean, like you appear to be, and his stomach has the same minor distended appearance anytime he eats. On a larger person, the stomach expansion that occurs following a meal is not usually noticeable, but when your body fat percentage is very low, there's little to hide this expansion. I could be…

Tojo, it seems like we're pretty close! I also have the same issue. I love working out and don't have any trouble sticking with that, but staying within calorie goal sometimes proves difficult. My stats are- Height: 5'8 (173cm) Age: 30 HW: 158.6 (72kg) CW: 144 (65.5kg) GW: 128 (58kg)
