Is my mind filthy or is that what I think it is? Yuck!! Edit: I googled head cheese. Still yuck, though. Stilton

That little black dress... bow chicka wow wow! You look hot, mama! Keep up the awesome work, you look great.

I just checked out the Canadian food rainbow. It used to be a pyramid when I was a kid, and now it's a confusing and convoluted rainbow, but nevertheless. According to the rainbow, adult women should have 5 oz of meat or meat alternatives daily, and adult men should have 7.5. A "serving" is 2.5 oz. That's crazy. I don't…

I have no idea what that is, so I vote yuck! Crab legs

I forgot about cereal. I just had a bowl late last night, actually. I hadn't gone grocery shopping and I was well under my calories for the day, but low on food, and I thought, what's calorie-dense in here? Granola. I had a small bowl of granola, which was over twice the listed serving. The listed serving is barely a…

Lead by example. Be the inspiration he sees when you're walking a little taller, and feeling all that much healthier. Your overall mental attitude will change, not just your dress size. He will notice that, and he may want to make the change himself. You can express your concern thoughtfully and let him know what is on…

Exactly. Even broke college kids can afford to eat a whole package of ramen and not split it with a friend. I hope.

Yum! Falafel

Open your food diary so we can get an idea of how you log, and how much you are eating. Beyond this, my suggestion would be to get a food scale if you do not already have one. Weigh solid foods, and use measuring cups only for liquids. This will make your logging substantially more accurate, which means you can better…

Or if they do, they read it incorrectly. As I said before, I don't think the average American is looking at the portion size on any given food item and thinking to themselves, "OK, I will only eat that much, as listed on the box," and thus increasing the portion size will increase the portions eaten by the average…

Your progress is awesome. You look great. You should share your height with the OP as well, to perhaps give him a sense of how his weight loss progression may look based on his weight and height. Lose is so subjective. For me, my entire weight loss goal was 18 lbs when I started, so a 20 lb loss on me would be dramatic, as…

My thoughts exactly. I feel that the average person seems to think they are consuming the serving listed on the packaging, when reality they are consuming more. I don't think the purpose of this is to promote Americans to eat larger portions, I think the purpose is to make them aware of how many calories they are consuming…

Thanks. Giving good advice, that's the goal.

How much are you lifting? Unless you reach a certain weight for the bar to be high enough off the ground, you're going to compromise your form trying to deadlift off the ground, because you have to bend too far over, causing your back to round. Stack some plates on either side, and put the barbell on these stacked plates.…

To see real gains while lifting, you would have to be eating at a surplus, and eating enough protein. How accurately do you track your calories? Do you use a food scale? As for scale weight, you could see a jump from water retention in your muscles. This is good, your muscles are repairing themselves. I'm not sure that…

Would you rather eat or drink your food? A meal replacement shake can be great if you say, never have time to make breakfast, and you're so hungry by lunch you can't successfully moderate your food intake. Or maybe you have time for a big breakfast but you don't get a lunch break and you only have time to drink something…

Smoked salmon and herb and garlic cream cheese on a toasted bagel, which is what I have for breakfast just about every morning. I'll also usually have this with some fruit (namely strawberries) and a coffee, or iced black tea.

It's difficult to know the answer to this without knowing your height and current weight, but on anyone, 10 lbs is going to be more noticeable a loss than 2 lbs. From there, 10 lbs will be more noticeable depending on your current weight, height, and where your body decides to lose the weight. Some people, even people with…
