I'm afraid I disagree with you, many years deploying overseas we get "near beer" since we can't have the real thing and it's a tease which tastes terrible. The closest "drinkable" version is St Pauli N.A, but it must be near freezing and chugged without due regard for air or tasting, then you just feel bloated and have to…

http://getdrunknotfat.com/ Best bang for your buck! Figure out the most alcohol per calorie. Another thing is eat light in the day, then drink for dinner. Less in your belly means you get drunk quicker, and then you won't get over your calories.That is unless your like me and get 3 sheets then I'm a eating machine!

Im 6'3 and started at 275 lbs about a month and a half ago. I've been under averaging 650-850 calories with 1 high calorie day a week. My goal is 1800 at the moment. It's definitely not a long term plan, I think it did help me rest my eating habits. Im down 16 pounds. I have a goal to lose another 10 in 3 weeks before I…

Searched the boards for this very idea. I love sweets, and have a oral fixation as well. Im deployed overseas for a few months and typically smoke cigars or hookah. I usually smoke hookah 3 times a week, but its a process to get it out, go find some shade if its not hot or blowing dust, then I have to clean it. No time for…

when you get a fast 2 second shiver/chill randomly do you say a ghost just pucked me? I swear those ghosts get me every time, don't know if I'm their type or they puck everyone.

Is your school small?

Excellent advice, thank you for your help! I guess what I was inferring was I feel that to "eat in my macros" Id be close/over my daily calorie deficit. However, not worrying about macros at this point and just getting a good deficit to start losing weight would be more beneficial in jump starting things until I get down a…

Thanks OP for the post, hope you found the answers/help you needed, didn't mean to thread jack just thought we had the same mindset obviously different scenarios. Cant find a delete option for my post, sincere apologies no "thread jack was intended"

Curious, what if any effects are we talking short term like 2 months or so? I was once again fat(295lbs 6'3), got less fat(252lbs) on deployment i like to call fat kid camp where I detox and eat better, gained 23lbs the 3 months I was home(drinking and eating like a god, dam it was good) Now Im back to fat *kitten*…

Love my booze.... Another MFP posted this website and it's great. www.getdrunknotfat.com Basically you can calculate the booze to calorie ratio to get the best bang for your buck.

hit the tare/zero button on the scale with the crockpot on it if you can wiggle your finger in there, then pull the crockpot off and read the weight. the - number will be your weight.

I work 12's 7 days a week for months on end (deployed) I think the hardest thing is not eating out of boredom. When I am slammed I tend to forget to eat as crazy as that sounds. Today for instance by the time I had a break it was lunch time, by the time I got around to making my tuna salad it was past lunch so I only ate…

Good luck OP, slow and steady wins the race, its all about the calories in/calories out. Just keep a good log and weigh your food and you'll be on the right track. Now if only they could make calorie free alcohol life would be so much better!

They are better with some dark rum or vodka

Ive lost 23 in about 30 days. Then again Im a bigger guy (295 starting weight). It hasn't all been water weight like the first week either. I've been hitting it hard with cardio sometimes 2 hours per day, only utilizing the actual hr monitor calories, and always trying to leave a minimum of a few hundred calories left at…

Yes you'd want a belt for sure with that setup. As another poster suggested the crossbreed belly band may be another alternative. I just figure the less I have to buy the more versatile one carry system is. I like to buy one system and utilize it as my goto. The reasons are I train with that setup, and then I am intimately…

I highly recommend looking into the Crossbreed holsters. In particular the super tuck deluxe or perhaps the mini deluxe. I also recommend you get it in horse hide as that will mold more to your body and is by far superior to cow leather. I utilize the Supertuck Deluxe for my Shield 9mm and also for my FNP 45. Works great…

I try to do the incognito mode like many others. It did back fire on me last year. I made chicken salad the night before (whole 30) and had my entire meal planned out for the trip to the mountains for skiing with coworkers/friends. I'd run to the car to get something(breakfast or lunch). I miss judged the refrigeration…

Welcome back! I myself did well, then "relapsed" and am back at square 1 for the second or so time, meh lets not count :) Glad to hear your getting your life on track, I've had quite a few bruises, cuts, hell gapping wounds in life but you sometimes gotta go through hell and walk right through it to realize how lucky you…

I am deployed overseas, I juggled with the fight of eating good or enjoying myself. I started out healthy in the morning but at the end of the day I felt alone, highly depressed, and just over it so I decided to enjoy one meal . At first I regretted it logging it, but I burned 1300 calories according to my HR monitor that…

Mmmm Scotch!!!! I wonder if you could eat light for breakfast and lunch and just drink scotch for dinner. I see 2 added benefits, staying within your calories, and a lot easier time getting a little bump to get your head on straight. Couldn't resist....

Lots of more useful insight. I appreciate it! The whole cheat day obviously is not the way to go from you smart and experienced people are telling me. Off setting calories a little before and after a weekend or holiday sounds more realistic. I am a admitted foodie, when I am home in the states I tend to make up for lost…

Lots of good and interesting comments. I appreciate all of your input. I am leaning towards leaving out breakfast now as a "indulgence" meal as some call it :) Ill try to keep it under control for the main course, and log my choices accordingly. Maybe even get a hour of cardio in to help offset calories. Once again, thanks…

I tend to drink in bed among other things

Thanks vespiquenn and Debsozo. Im not real savvy on all the acronyms TDEE but used my googlefu to figure out what your talking about. I'm not going to thread jack, I'm back on MFP after failing once again this is my first week. Basically I had MFP setup the 1950 calories of food but I've been trying to hit 800+ calories a…

What is considered a VLCD? Is it 800 intake calories? I eat roughly 1400 but net only 600 or so per day recently. The past 5 days Im 5k under my 1950 per day goal.

Still Fruit at the bottom or stirred?

Just winning tickets on the phone, HYE eaten indian food?

because woman are gods gifts to the eyes, men...not so much
