100 cal x 35 days =1 lb, potential to gain about 10 lbs a year without even thinking about it

I used Nutrisystem several years ago and yes I did drop a bunch of weight. I liked some of the food, some not so much. Did I gain it all back? Ya you bet I did. I will never pay for another "program" again. I'm all for whatever helps you lose but realize that you need to be prepared to maintain. Maintenance is just as hard…

NO it does not. Pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. The pound of fat is larger in size and therefore takes up more room. Its a volume thing, not a weight thing.

Another theory to toss into the mix. Remember that your muscles hold water. Have you weighed yourself a day AFTER a full rest day?

LOL, from Mean Girls?

LOL no wonder there are so many questions lately relating to why counting calories is so hard. Its becoming more rocket science than it needs to be.

unpeeled, unless of course you are eating the peel?

I want to see that scale keep moving downward and by the end of the summer would like to kick my current jeans to the curb and be down a size.

I've never come across this theory before. Where exactly does that come from?

Thanks for my first good laugh on a Monday morning

Hi Donna, sending you a friend request

55 here. request on the way

Why not? I understand if eating just before bed disturbs your sleep in some way, but there is no evidence that you can't eat before bed. Bolded statement is just a ridiculous myth.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Hi Kimberly, Welcome! Congrats on taking the first step to a healthier you. There are a lot of sticky threads on the community homepage that are enormously valuable reading. There will be so many answers to questions you may not even known you have. I started off around the same weight as you. Stay the course, you CAN do…

No you haven't gained 14lbs of muscle. (Highly unlikely). Are you weighing yourself consistently? Same day each week, appx same time? Similar conditions EG: Naked, before eating and after using the washroom? Have you changed the batteries in your scale? Is it always in the same place? If you feel it in your clothes, maybe…

Yup :)

55 here and doing this for life. I'm on everyday. Please feel free to add me if you wish :)

Ranch with a little hot sauce added to it is to die for! You can also if needed, thin out the ranch with a tiny bit of milk to make it go further.

I wrap and freeze individual portions and then thaw in the fridge for the next day as needed.

Good point 900kj would be appx 75-80 cals if the chart I used is correct.

Many of us have tried and failed and tried again. You are not alone in this. There will come and a time, and hopefully for you this is the time when you WILL commit. Your personal inspiration and motivation to be dedicated will have to come from within but in the meantime if you search "success stories" or maybe some nice…

2nd this

I take a large salad to work almost every day. Always with a protein added, Shrimp, tuna chicken etc). Depending on my mood it could have...apples, oranges, strawberries, cranberries, tomatoes, all kinds of raw veg. A splash of dressing and I'm good to go. It is rarely the same salad twice. Too many yummy things to add.

Ok from what I understand, its people who are to lazy to say Babe, but is also Danish for POOP? Being called poop would make me irrationally angry.

@mamapeach910, I have the transmitter in the centre of my chest, but ya boobs still cover it. (sigh) don't think that will ever change.
