I don't like using "addicted" but for me it's fast food. Mainly taco bell. Pretty much the reason I have 120ish pounds to lose still. I've learned though that I can go to taco bell and still have a decent amount of food for not an atrocious amount of calories. I get the fresco chicken tacos- 140 calories per taco. Keeps me…

Nah don't worry about that. The only ones you should care about really is carbs, fat, and protein. But don't worry if you don't hit them every day. It's more like a guideline not an absolute must.

Do you have a medical reason to worry about sugar? If not, eat normal and at a deficit and don't worry about sugar and you will lose weight.

Did I not capitalize the word POSSIBILITY enough for you the first time?

Safely means without the POSSIBILITY of: Dizziness, and just in general feeling like crap Muscle loss Inability to keep the weight off Those are just the big 3 that come to my mind but I'm sure there's other possible negatives in losing too much too fast

Well obviously if you over eat one day it'll say you'll gain. That's kind of the whole point. If everyday were like today... It can only be accurate if you're consistent.

Well here's the truth. A couple of PF gyms have done it and these kinds of people are too stupid to realize that not all of their gyms are like that. If one does it that means they all do it to these people. I've been a member for 2 years and not once has the lunk alarm went off, someone told to cover up, and there's…

For maintaining weight? Almost certainly yes. It's going to depend on your activity level on what you need to maintain but it is probably going to be around 2200 calories per day. You have to experiment though.

Is it just me or does it look like that chicken has... well never mind.

More importantly why does it matter? Do you have high blood pressure or some medical reason to watch sodium?

If I have cereal I eat 2 servings and one cup of milk. Cocoa puffs is 100 cal per serving (27g) and 1/2% milk is 90 calories for 1 cup. 290 is pretty low if you ask me for a breakfast.

It depends on how much you have to lose. 25 pounds or less and it would be recommended to set your goal at .5 pounds per week 26-50 pounds: 1 lb per week 51-75 pounds: 1.5 lbs per week > 75: 2 lbs per week

At the end of the day one of those is fact and the other is fear of food :)

If you want to push it, go for 1lb per week. And that's the absolute most. You only want to lose 20 pounds total which would normally warrant a .5lb loss per week but 1lb per week could be attainable. I would say though after the 6 weeks go down to .5 lb, it'll be a ton easier to lose and easier to keep off.

Well there's a few things you HAVE to understand: - Your weight fluctuate every day based on when you eat and go to the bathroom, and also sometimes when you workout. Lifting can retain water making you see a bigger number on the scale - This happens to EVERYONE -Eat at a deficit, and you will lose weight. Simple as that.…

Do you work out at all? Have a physical job? You can "bounce under" with losing sweat. Happens to me every single day.

Absolutely not at all. -I know I'm eating at a deficit -I know it happens to everyone -I know weight loss isn't linear -It's 'impossible' to gain that much fat in one night/day

You can buy ~2 pound bag of frozen chicken breasts for $10 at Kroger or depending on where you live, Meijer. I'm sure Publix has them too if you live more south. (If you live in the U.S. at all)

Human. Why are so many women obsessed with body shape? You can look good with any "shape". IMO those don't even exist.

You're eating far too little. Your body is probably trying to hold on to all its fat because of it. If you are sedentary (desk job and no exercise what so ever) you need to eat around 1900 calories. If your job has a decent amount of walking or physical activity but you don't exercise you need to eat around 2200 calories.…

No, overeating made you obese. Sodium doesn't make you gain weight, too many calories do. I've lost 34 pounds on those packaged foods. I drink water.

I nominate Twotown. Simple but catchy

"Cheat" meal once a week if you want or need it if you think it will help you stay on track. A cheat day could potentially wash out the rest of the week so I wouldn't do that. Personally I don't do cheat meals. Not unless it's a special occasion like a holiday or birthday.

A cinderblock so far. Goal is to lose the complete Oxford dictionary which doesn't seem like much.. let me look this thing up real quick... Oh okay. It's like 20 phonebook sized dictionaries. Although I do think it's cooler to say I lost ~4 cinderblocks

Do you have the feeling that you need to go and just can't? Or do you only go every 2 days or whatever? If you feel fine and only go every few days I don't think that's a problem.

Being more fit (not lesser weight) will make you burn more calories. For example, a 170 pound man who is "fit" will burn more than a 170 pound man who is not "fit". You should however recalculate your caloric needs every 10 pounds because your TDEE will go down slightly since there is "less" of you.

My goal weight maintenance is going to be around 2800 calories so yours isn't surprising at all. My goal is 6'2 200 pounds and lightly active.
