You have to remember that the foods we eat now are way more calorie dense than what nature naturallly gives us. If you were famished and decided to feast on apples, oranges, cabbage, ugh even a small animal until you felt satisfied, I'm sure you would have felt full long before you went into a surplus. Or the surplus…

I drink it black as well- hot or iced. Sometimes I add sugar free flavors to it.

A chocolate cupcake. I love chocolate.

A slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese. I just really wanted cheese.

I know the requirements for all branches. I have four aunts and uncles who started their careers by enlisting in the military. Also At one time when I actually qualified, I was *this close* to enlisting in the USAF (as an air traffic controller- stressful job but decent pay after separation), Navy (as a Navy nuke), and…

I find nothing wrong with your before picture because you really look great in both pics. I prefer a lean look as well.... Any who. You worked hard and it shows. Great job.

Well, I chose to go by the BMI charts. Maybe you should reach your healthy weight range first, then determine how you feel.

I am a rebel for the most part.

My outcome was Rebel... If I tilt my head to the side, I can see it.

It's just a case of choose your hard. Food restriction [higher volume of low calorie choices giving you a caloric deficit] or calorie restriction/moderation/portion size control. I know that at the present moment I can't simply stop at eating one slice of deep dish pizza... but that's my issue. I don't whine about my…

Everywhere except my butt and hips.

I don't care for people to make comments or ask questions about anything related to my weight/physical appearance... Positive or negative. But I'm not offended if someone does. These comments/questions just annoy me. You wouldn't want them to ask you if you've gained weight.

Eurobeat music. Gives me a good pace for cardio.

Mashed potatoes and BBQ meatballs.

I love cardio. Lifting not so much. I like calisthenics more than I like weights. When I get to the point where I can perform push ups, pull ups, and chin ups unassisted/unmodified, then I'll be happy.

I've been burning 1000 calories most days since I've started losing weight. Yes, it does usually take me about four hours in the gym, but since I've become more fit... that time span is slowly becoming shorter [I'm happy to say!]. I may just try to burn 1000 calories every other day, though. Burn 500 calories the rest of…

I am finally seeing an increase in my walking/jogging speeds. I was stuck 3.something mph for a while, but yesterday I walked at about 4 mph for 70 minutes and jogged at about 5mph for 33 minutes, all outside at the park. I deserve a cookie. A chocolate cookie.

What have you heard from the Navy? I'm also trying to enlist in a branch of the military [too old for the USAF], but I have much more weight to drop than you. So... have you talked to them, yet?

I feel like there may indeed be a pot of gold at the end of this blasted rainbow.

Well, It's mostly like a dream, I don't really remember most of what passes through my head. Sometimes I try to do some mental math or just think about the future.

I bought three different flavors and only liked one. I think it was maybe the cookies and cream one. They tasted OK, but I also felt like they tasted like the wrapper? I don't know.

Icflor. You can do it! **Disclaimer** I'm not trying to encourage unhealthy weight loss. Just frolicking through various forums, spreading my jogger's high around.

The only way I can see you losing 7 lbs a week, consistently for 3- 4 weeks is if you were water fasting.... I know how you feel though. I'm aiming for 3 lbs a week right now.. And that's tough enough. I support the slow and steady wins the race crowd though. Don't lose heart. You got this. ETA: water fasting plus burning…

Yes. It counts as exercise. I second using a tracking app like MapMyWalk, but don't put too much faith in what it is telling you as far as calories burned. Just try to make your walk as intense as possible, this means adding elevation/hills and/or increasing your speed.

It depends. I've never felt thirsty, but my skin is SEVERELY dehydrated. I have the classic sign of dehydrated skin all over my body, little fine and not so fine lines everywhere. I now wish I would have forced myself to drink more water, but I've always been the type of person who only drank when eating. Now, I have…

Started August 2014, 93.8 lbs so far. I have about 51 lbs to go until I reach my first goal weight.

The stretch marks aren't just appearing.... They've been there before you started your weight loss journey. They're just more visable now because your skin isn't overstretched from your past rapid weight gain.
