Bahahaha This. Definitely this. You have two options, pick one :)

I got cornered at a party by 4 girls that didn't like me who said "You are fat, and you are nasty." Not the highlight of my life!

Boston Creme Pie Toaster Strudels definitely taste as good as fit feels haha

When I have had enough alcohol for the night or if I want something between drinks, I drink club soda with a lime - it looks enough like a drink that people don't hassle me. Tasty (to me) and no calories!

Get over it. All of your packaged or canned ANYTHING has rat hairs, bug parts, etc. I love that people freak about this stuff, I find it funny. Who cares? Your fresh veggies probably have bug eggs and all sorts of yummies on them, too. Big deal. Edited to add:

That cannot POSSIBLY work for everyone. Also, it sounds way too difficult for me to stick to, I don't think I will even try. I'll just whine about being fat and lazy and I bet that will accomplish something.

Why did I not know about this until now?!? No food dyes either - cool. I currently have one or two baby cans of diet soda a week... Not really a soda drinker. Good to know there is a better alternative out there.

I do cheat days. If they are done correctly, and you are in control the rest of the week, they can bump up your metabolism a bit. If I have a day where I really feel I NEED to eat, or am just craving EVERYTHING, I do it, and then try to be good the rest of the week. I don't think they hurt anything, if done in moderation.…

^^This. Sorry, but if the pre-op requirements with weight and date "snuck up" on you, you will likely have a hard time adhering to the drastic changes you need to make after your surgery. I've seen people have GPB and end up just as heavy as they were before the surgery; simply because they didn't make good lifestyle…

Here to help you along, anyway I can.

I am hopelessly addicted to the Boston Creme Pie Toaster Strudels... mmmmmm

I will agree with sentence number one. Sentence number two, however, not so much... S'mores Pop-Tarts are the BEST!!!

I can't say I don't agree.

^^This. I am sickened by this whole thing.

Anyone ever heard of the Ladder Theory? Truth, my friends. Truth. My answer to the question (and from my own personal experience) is: almost always NO.

^^This. BIG difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian. Anyone can get a certificate online and call themselves a nutritionist. A dietitian actually has a 4 year degree, has studied human metabolism, and has had (roughly) 1400 hours of supervised practice.

I changed jobs and lost 10 lbs (going from a desk job to food service/diet technician (I usually get lunch and dinner at work, plus access to all kinds of stuff that I couldn't say no to a few years back - I have a little more restraint now :blushing: ). I don't eat clean, by any means. My regular breakfast consists of…

Talk to a Registered Dietitian, these issues are what they are trained for! :bigsmile:

I don't think I'd wear one, except for the fact that nipples showing through clothing can be rather awkward...

I agree, I don't like one piece bathing suits at all! I have never quite felt confident in a bikini - even now, I am 5'3'' and hovering around 114-115 lbs...but at this point, I think it is mostly all in my head haha

Ditto :smile:

Jack Links Teriyaki beef jerky. Not my favorite flavor, not worth the calories. The Russian Tea Cakes, on the other hand, are worth every single decadent calorie they contain!

Absolutely, positively, without a doubt, Johnny Depp. Mmmmm. :love:

If you live in the upper lattitudes, winter blues can get really bad. Make sure you are getting enough vitamin D, that can make a big difference. Sometimes when you are really feeling down, it helps if you force yourself to exercise - even just a little. And I am not a big fan of pushing meds, either, but sometimes they…

If your blood pressure is normal/low - I don't think it is too much of an issue. As long as you aren't consuming ridiculous amounts... A little over should be fine. Mine is over every now and again, and I have super low BP, so I don't pay too much attention. Are you eating a lot of processed foods? I find that cutting…

I'm the same height, have the same goal...it seems impossible! I'm at 119 right now... I think because we don't have much to lose it is tough!

I research my options online thoroughly if I'm going out to eat (if stats are available online)... I'll find a few options and choose when I get there. It's almost a compulsion. And way to go!!!

bahahaha - sorry, couldn't help it . Awesome. :laugh:
