I'm still a work in progress, but a "diet" of no restrictions has helped tremendously (as long as I stay within macro parameters). Knowing that I can have Mexican food - just not as much as I used to eat - has kept me motivated. I also don't call it a "diet". I eat what I want, I just track everything now. I also spread my…

We've found that she can use the quick tool to copy a meal. It's the best way we've found.

I'm a proponent of using prepared frozen veggies in normal everyday foods. They're cheap. They're already cut. They save me time. Mix a mirepoix (celery, onion, carrot) blend in to your tomato sauce for pastas/lasagnas. Blend/process to the consistency of your liking. Squash goes with a variety of proteins. Eggplant parm…

I am using it. I completed the "30-day Get In Shape Series" and am on to the "90-day Warrior Workout". The workouts are challenging and varied enough to keep me coming back for more. I don't have time to go to a gym and the 10-30 minute workouts from home are a godsend! The ab workouts are especially challenging (for us…

One that had a mute control would be nice.

Well, matter is always conserved. So, in my case, I have excess fat stored. Fat = matter. Fat/matter is converted to energy and "exits" through movement of muscles/heat from movement. That's about as scientific as I can get! LOL.

LOL... Well, played. "Electric Blue" was one that I remember best. Somehow we could hear the sound... kind of.

So, someone could pursue legal action for eating something that didn't belong to them in the first place even though it has someone else's name and someone else paid for it? I would love to see the precedents. Maybe a Judge Judy special or something. Larry the Lawyer would argue that his client had to take his medication…

Make chicken enchiladas with cat food.

No, and even if I did, I don't pick up on subtlety at all. LOL. Just ask my girlfriend!

I work in commercial lending (to pay the bills) and in radio (for fun). I bring my food for the entire day - breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack. Of course, there are occasions when I go out to lunch, but I plan for it. For instance, today I went to Twin Peaks, so my lunch is a little higher than normal,…

BW3 is tough. Veggie burgers are good and I sub fries for either coleslaw or carrots/celery. BBQ is my favorite and Famous Dave's doesn't make it easy. The lunch time meals are typically smaller portioned. We always scour restaurant websites if we know we're going somewhere that could be bad. At least you have some time to…

I know when I very first started that I was always feeling hungry, even with 3 meals and 3 snacks a day. Here's what I've been doing: 8am - Breakfast ~200 calories 10:30 - Morning snack (usually a sandwich) ~300 calories 12:30-1ish - Lunch 400-500 calories 4pm - Afternoon snack (Clif Bar if I work out, greek yogurt if I…

Thank you for your service. By day, I work in commercial banking. At night and weekends, I'm a DJ for the #1 big band station in the country.

I eat my guac on chips, in a salad, or on burgers.

Thanks for the great idea!

Pretty much like a lot of others have said, my exercise calories are broken into smaller chunks. I walk around the building on my morning break. I walk around the park for lunch. I do a work out video at home after work (10-30 minutes). My g/f and I walk our dogs after dinner. We also have a treadmill and elliptical we got…

THIS!

I think weighing food is more important in the losing phase than in maintenance. I'm also getting better at estimating how much "1 cup" of something really is. Ultimately though, I choose a scale over a measuring cup or my own estimates any day of the week.

Great post. ...and don't even get me started on grammar and spelling!

Coffee is brewed with water. Beer is brewed with water. If coffee counts as water, so does beer.

If "best" refers to "clean" then wines/champagnes or spirits like vodka or whiskey. If "best" refers to how intoxicated you'll be upon consumption (which is what I was hoping this thread was about): long island iced tea. LOL.

I try to find the nutritional info on the restaurant website. If that doesn't work, I then look for "restaurant" versions of food. Last option is "generic".

Jimmy John's Lettuce Wraps are under 400 (depending on what all you get on them.) And they deliver fast!

It's one thing if your car is cool (mine isn't)... but minivan and Camry driver need to refrain. Please!

Keep it up! You will win your fight!

Stay away from canned foods. There are a ton of spices and spice blends that do not have salt. Drinking more water would help, but that sounds like a lost battle already.

Colorado representing!

Grrrrrr... didn't quote! See below.

I do. But we have some half walls which make Nerf dart gun fights inevitable.
