LOL, I watched Chris Powell's show before. The main thing I remember is him crying ;) A lot. I think I only saw one season of that one - maybe I missed a season? I'm excited - most of these shows I haven't heard of, so I will watch them! I love watching My 600-lb Life and there was another one on Netflix I watched but I…

I eat it every morning - 2 pieces of toast with a generous spread of PB and grape jam. I have it with my coffee. I feel that because I get SO much enjoyment out of it, it helps me stick to my eating plan all day because I don't feel deprived - I get a HUGE psychological 'reward' from eating it. Even later in the day and…

Treadmill with a good incline + flat screen/DVR :)

"Intuitive Eating" as in eating whenever I feel like it doesn't work. However, using intermittent fasting and/or a 'no snacking' rule along with the 'intuitive' part being that I don't STUFF myself or gorge when I eat DOES work for me. I got that idea years ago from the 'Slimfast Diet' ... the old slogan was have a shake…

I agree with this. If you're a body builder or have a lot of muscle, you know it. If that shoe fits, then BMI will be a poor indicator. If you're generally 'soft' and your exercise is more cardio-based, and especially if you're female, I think BMI is a decent indicator.

I really need to start something like this! I have it, but never touched it. Is there a lot of TALKING in it? I hate videos with lots of talking. Maybe I could copy it to my computer and edit out all the talking ...

What about walking? Simply taking a 2-mile (brisk) walk with an iPod each day can really help your weight loss. Most of those dieting shows always have people going to the 'GYM' ... as someone who exercises daily and HATES the idea of a 'GYM', I just SMH at that whole thing. Going to the gym and lifting can be painful and…

Yes, I think most of America has this problem! The best way I've found to combat it is to just not watch TV! LOL! I do like to eat in front of my computer (meals) - I like to read while I eat, but I eat the same amount as I would have for the meal anyway. But for TV, I have my treadmill set up with my DVR and my only TV…

I just don't do it. In fact, after I had my daughter my ONLY 'diet' was a strict 'NO snacks after dinner' rule and that allowed about 1-lb of weight loss per week for most of my pregnancy weight. To lose more weight, then I had to have a 'No snacks - period' rule and eat 2-3 meals per day. Works for me - everyone is…

I have a treadmill in front of my TV/DVR and that is the way I watch my TV every day. It passes the time REALLY fast and doesn't even feel like a workout. Then I (often, if I have the time) follow it with a nice bath. Both of these things together are stress-relieving and relaxing and keep me away from the kitchen, as well…

A hot bath with lots of water kills my appetite - works great to curb nighttime snack attacks.

The only time I drink juice is when I make scrambled eggs for dinner - something about eggs makes me *need* OJ with it.

At my top weight of about 155 (I'm 5'7.5") my bra size is about 36 full D and at my current weight (130) a 34 small C or large B.
-
Yes, you're right about that - resistance is what I need! I've been a faithful cardio exerciser all my life, but I've always been resistant to resistance! Ugh! I guess I need to figure out how to LIKE doing that!
-
So say you'd have followed a 2700 calories to LOSE - you'd probably have 'stopped' losing before your current weight and then slowly lost those last few pounds, don't you think? You wouldn't just wake up one day at that weight and, bam, you never lose more. I guess that is my question. How *slow* is that last couple of…
-
Yeah, I don't count calories. I've done it in the past (along with many other 'diets') and it just doesn't work for me (by that I mean it's too much WORK to try to figure out how many calories is in the homemade soup or salad I make). I just find it strange that I'd stop so suddenly. I keep thinking I must be retaining…

3 (or sometimes 2). I'm the kind of person who LOVES to eat and when I eat a meal, I want to eat a MEAL, not a 200-calorie 'snack' - so when I eat less times per day, I can eat more when I do eat. Works for ME - but some people love their plan of eating 6x per day and if that works for them, awesome! :)
-
I eat 2-3x per day - usually 3, but will sometimes do 2 if I eat a later lunch. This works for me in losing and maintenance. I always sleep terribly if I eat even remotely close to bedtime, so I tend to do a longer 'fast' each night - often eating dinner around 4 pm and not eating again until breakfast.
-
Haven't read the book but the 'diet' that works for me is NEVER snacking (I eat 2-3x per day, usually 3). I believe that it's a myth that eating more often gives any kind of metabolic benefit. Google 'no snacking weight loss'. I think people CAN lose weight by eating mini-meals - if that's how they like to eat and it works…
-
Treadmill in front of the ONLY TV I watch with DVR and ROKU - always something to watch and I can't wait to get on for my only TV time of the day. Right now I'm watching through all the seasons of Shameless :) I also record Nightline and a few 'filler' shows to fill up the time because I like to stay on until I'm past 500…

True, all of this - and I love the idea of finding NEW goals - like a pushup goal or something to work toward. Almost all of us can improve *something* ... whether it's honing the diet or a new fitness goal.
