i have to say, you should never stop your workout plan. when you reach your goal it is your diet you should adjust, eat what your body needs with no defecit. and maintain your ideal weight. then work out for your health and to shape your body into the one you want. but i think at your weight you definitely should not diet,…

pretty sure nobody is thinking of me at all.

i am having a hard time finding reliable proof on the internet to back up the statement that dairy is inflammatory. on blogs and alternative medicine, health food sites maybe. but i am seeking actual medical studies and all i see is "this has not been proven" and that it is the saturated fat in whole dairy, and not the…

its larry, darryl and darryl thank you very much. i also liked frazier. there arent many sitcoms i like for long but frazier, seinfeld, 30 rock... all favorites.

30 rock is best. seinfeld is good too. i wish netflix would put it on watch instant as it takes too long to wait for discs that watch so quickly.

good point about mixing meat and cheese. i also dont mix, its one or the other, cheese as a main protein or meat or fish or beans.... rarely do any of them have to comingle exept in the case of tacos and burritos because you dont mess with perfection.

cheese is a huge part of my diet. for one thing, it makes things more satisfying and makes me less likely to long for something better. for another thing calcium can be a huge issue when cutting calories, especially for women. so can protein. cheese gives you both. i cut meat down a lot. eat cheese quite often, as an…

everything is shocking. when i was growing up meals were like, 1000 calories each. my mom cooked for 10, and we all had seconds. and every night we had giant bowls of ice cream. so that i thought this was normal. i was very surprised to find out normal was not being stuffed after each meal. i still get shocked when i…

my calves are so amazingly muscular from mostly 7 months of running on treadmills three times a week. i do some strenth training, and other cardio and classes too, but the legs are mostly from running since i tend to focus more on my weak arms when lifting, and the other cardio i like is arms and thighs. i do mix the…

i dont tend to have cheat meals exactly, since i usually dont go over by much if anything. sometimes i have things that dont match my goals though. i am kinda hooked on orange chicken from trader joes. its not really good for me. it is all fat and carbs and sugar and just a little chicken. however, i eat it once a week or…

that video was awesome.

maybe i have been overweight for so long that i stopped feeling shame over every little thing that makes me "imperfect"..... but i did. for the longest time, feel shame over my body, to the point where something as simple as mentioning it or asking a question would send me into a dark place of self hatred. at some point i…

sadly, along with extra fat comes a baby face, which we lose when we lose the weight. we start looking more our age... i have crows feet now i didnt have 6 months ago.... i think like libby said, they are just not used to the change.

i feel ya. i am there. trying to avoid repeating my past mistakes. so far i am able to keep from quitting by uping my game and changing my program... seeing if i was just in a rut. i also signed up for a personal training session and she guided me toward a new plan... change can be good.

plain ramen is like 450 calories a package so theres that.

i had the same problem... or i thought that was it. the instructor told me it was hurting my feet because i wasnt putting my weight in the right place. (doing squats with poor form)... but i dont know if that is your case or not. poor form = plethora of problems. of course that was just me, you might have perfect form and…

if you like to cook, pick a day a week to cook a few meals with lots of servings. freeze them in serving sizes, figure the calories once, and just track em when you eat em. or eat processed food. personally though i am not able to lose weight if i dont eat what i like. i like food too much for that.

i kept thinking about things i miss but i cant come up with anything i would still want today.... i can honestly say that right now is where i should be with what i have now. i lost my house a couple years ago and i dont even miss that. as long as things are not stagnant and ever changing i dont care about what passed…

drink more water and wear sunscreen on your lips.

this one is healthy because strawberries.

oh i didnt know anything happened. we got ours from the gas station on our side of town (south)... thats so sad. maybe they are still making though, i will see next time we walk that way... i have been wanting to try donut parade for years but we are never up that way suring their business hours..

the dawn of the donut place i mentioned earlier has a maple bacon bar... but they crumble up the bacon... its... amazing. personally however, if i were making it i would do less of a frosting and more of a this mapley syrupy glaze.... if anyone invents that i will be in trouble. the frosting is a little much and overpowers…

problem areas are that for a reason. you will find it easier to lose fat from the places that werent as much of a problem first. and then the closer you get to your goal weight the more it will start coming off the problem areas. i wish there was a way to target certain areas but there isnt really. you just have to lose…

2 things i ask myself. will this really be worth it, and does it fit. if it fits and i truly want it, i buy it. if it would be a dissapointment in any way, no.. grocery store donuts, always a no. gourmet locally made donuts from dawn of the donut... oh hells yes. most of the time though, i would rather use those calories…

ok... 10 things i hate about being overweight (i didnt read the others after the op so i wouldnt be influenced) 1. the flab on my inner thighs 2. shopping means i am limited to the what fits my body right, not necessarily something that lets me express my personality. i am learning that more as my sizes go down, i didnt…

i eat dessert every day. at least once. i eat at restaurants several times a week... with discretion. once in a while i even eat fried stuff. i eat cheese. bread. every single day. i make croutons for my salads, and i use butter. all these things i cant give up for life, nor do i want to, so i learn how to eat how i want…

its funny, you know how you can see your flags right, i have one abuse flag, and no idea what it is for. cant imagine what it could even be for... but there is no apparent way to know. so how helpful is that if someone cant see what is the offending behavior and thus change it.

try exersize. i am an emotional eater too, so now when i want to eat when i am not hungry... i ask myself why, and if it is emotional, to stuff bad feelings... i get some endorhins from running and it works like a charm. doesnt take the problems away but does change my feeling about it...

i think... that if you find reasons you cant do something, you cant do it. instead find ways to make it happen. if it is really what you want. you have to really want it, not just want it because you should want it. to eat healthy when out is easy. either bring food with you, or plan in advance where you will go and what…
