Yes, count them. Depending on how much you use, you could be miscounting by 100s of cals per meal. Butter and oil are fairly calorie dense and add up fast.

I have a few of those, I like them for a night on the town :)

Perfectly said :)

If you can yell, you are ready.

I drink diet soda somewhat regularly, I know it's supposedly 'bad' but whatever. It gives me my soda fix and has no calories, as long as I'm not chugging it or drinking way too much of it, I think I'm ok.

Goals: 1400 lowest, 1600 highest. Sometimes I go over by a bit, sometimes enough that I hit my maintenance calorie goal. No biggie. As long as I'm not actively gaining and still keeping things in check, I'm good.

Become a TV chef. They get all the good stuff, food and booty ;)

Yep. I accept them all!

I have thunderthighs from many years of intensive horseback riding, farmwork and swimming, not too happy with them sometimes but my calves are shapely and I like that. I have scars on my knees from taking many tumbles on my bike as a teenager, but I try to ignore them too. Just shows that I've been active and had my share…

Too manly for me.

Feel free to add me, I probably fall into the 'geek' realm a tad bit more, but I have my more nerdy aspects too. My interests are on my profile, so you can see if I fit what you're looking for :smile:

I creep em all.

I still watch cartoons. Don't have any kids, so it's allll on me. I can't sleep without a TV on. I'll lay awake for hours without the sound/light.

I'm around your age and 5 inches *shorter* and still eating 1500cals a day to lose a little bit. I lose consistently in this range of .5 to 1lb a week on average. 1200 is unnecessarily low for most people, that's pretty much in the 'crash diet' range and you're not likely to be able to stick with it no matter how much or…

Absolutely go to a doctor, that is not the average experience for most people (from my knowledge at least) and there could be something more serious going on.

Is that supposed to be a good thing? :laugh:

Farts, unicorns and weed. This thread is awesome.

I love it fresh out of the skin with some bacon and eggs for breakfast. Works well with something a bit salty, I like it on sandwiches too, needs some texture to pair with it for a meal. Sometimes I crave it so bad I eat it plain though.

I like you too.

Every damn one of these people are fiiiiine. There, I said it.

Spoons for everyone!

Might be good to increase your calorie goal, you're doing A LOT of different exercises and you need to fuel your body. Some people lose weight significantly faster when they're eating more than they initially think they 'should'. Less is not always more.

Came expecting to see much more discussion about illegal drugs and the resulting weight loss... :embarassed:

So glad I'm not alone :laugh:

I eat eggs almost everyday, I love them hard boiled the most but they're a bit of a pain to cook and peel just 1 or 2 eggs everyday (I make a mess of the peeling every time). I save that for a treat like once a week instead. Usually I fry or poach them, with some kind of topping, some days it's very basic salt and pepper…

VS is terrible about bra fittings in the first place. A proper bra sizing is more complicated than most people think, the distance/width inbetween the breasts, amount of breast tissue, the shape of the ribcage, the angles of how the breasts lay, it all matters. Some people with shallow breasts are very hard to find bras…

I'm 5'1, usually called short. 5'4 is closer to average imo.

Lots and lots of protein, fruit and salads with a low calorie dressing. I get terrible sugar cravings, sometimes I want gummi bears and more often I crave chocolate/ice cream. I let myself have some treats if my goals allow for it, but they don't always, so I try to fill up on other things to minimize it. No fancy tricks…
