For me, it was pretty much the same as it is now (a mix of good whole food and crap junk food), except I made higher calorie choices in general...or just ate a flat crapton of whatever it was I was eating. I skipped meals (still do). Ate lots of chicken (still do). Ate lots of fast food (still do). The only major…

Losing WEIGHT is all about a calorie deficit. Losing the majority of that weight in FAT is best acheived with (as has been stated numerous times) a combination of heavy lifting with core based compound movements (squats, deadlifts, bench, row) performed at a weight where you lose form at 5-8reps, and a calorie deficit. ALL…

I don't like corn much, unless it's fried in butter lol. LOVE crab though :)

^^^^^^

Aww, thank you! I've given up as well. It's become flat exhausting lol. No clue hun. I'm just me...here or anywhere else. I wish I knew though...lol.

Been there, done that. I'm a single Dad with sole custody of three kids lol. What's funny is how many women say 'But...kids draw women like flies! You're so cute and nice, and with those little ones you'd be totally irresistable!!' Yeah, move your rear to Phoenix then, tyvm!! =p

But...but... It is.

There will always be people who hate hearing the truth unless you sugar coat it to the point where its no longer is even recognizable. Ignore them...your post was solid.

That's not kissing *kitten* hun, and thank you for the compliment...but it is absolutely true for me. I'm sure brother up there has far better luck lol. Seriously though. My last three relationship opportunities (meaning TOTAL opportunities in TWO years of being single) were pretty terrifying. One ended up being a…

^^^^^ You and me both brother.

I'm telling you hun, he's clearly gay. Or :noway: ...actually into goats...

If Shia is what women are after these days... ...it's no wonder I'm still single lol. :flowerforyou:

Lucky. *kitten*. :drinker:

The point that I, and the others who've posted similar comments...was making is that you can actively CHOOSE not to berate yourself for enjoying a day with family or friends. In the big scheme that one day is irrelevant. I understand you find that difficult, but perhaps...since she's asking and seems new to this...setting…

Dude, we could be twins.

^^^^^ I'm thinking he might be on the fence, and she's intimidated him back into the closet.

Norm's got this down. If we'd been on a date, and I'd had fun...I probably would have let you know on my way home. I'd likely also be flirting the next day, and the next, and the next...and the next..... And the next. And...you get the idea. If he isn't...and it were me...I'd say something is wrong. Though I can't effing…

I eat whatever I want that day, and continue on the next day as if nothing happened. Seriously, in the big scheme, one day isn't going to matter. Nor will it sabotage your efforts as long as you use your brain. There's been days where I've been over 4000cal over. Next day I was right back at it...and off the fat came.

Right? God forbid we engage in any level of sarcasm. Also...personal accountability, forget it. TOTALLY unnecessary for weight loss. Follow the above advice and you'll melt those pounds right off! And OP?? Again...solid post :).

Excellent post! But, you clearly haven't had any results with which to base your advice on. Like my own advice, it should be summarily ignored and everyone should skip to the next poster recommending you eat too little, follow fad diets, run or walk (we all know cardio targets fat stores), or otherwise engage in the…

I understand your reasoning (and I'm glad it works for you!)...for me it's the opposite. Weighing often is what made me realize the number on the scale is useless other than as a very, very general guide. It tells me NOTHING about my lean mass (bodyfat scales are useless people!), NOTHING about water retention, NOTHING…

I used this workout to lose 40lbs of bodyfat in 3mos. I was well into the obese range when I started. Keep your diet sensible (500-700cal deficit would be good), eat lots of protein, and the differences will be apparent very quickly!

This is absolutely wrong. I'm sorry. You are eating too little. You should be netting at LEAST 1500cal/day, that means after exercise! If you're burning 300-500cal/day 5x a week, you should be eating around 1800cal minimum 5x a week. This assumes that your burn and calorie counting are both accurate, of course. Here's an…

What's unhealthy about weighing more than once a day? Now, I can understand being obsessed to the point where the numbers actually affect your self image being unhealthy. But stepping on a scale to see what it says you weigh...even if you do it 20x a day...isn't unhealthy at all. I regularly weigh myself multiple times a…

First, you realistically can't gain, or lose...2lbs of fat in 24hrs. Or 48hrs for that matter. Second, out of curiosity, did the poutine and chocolate bar put you over your calories? And if so...how much? To gain 2lbs of fat would theoretically require being 7000cal over. Just relax...it's probably water retention...it'll…

Slow cardio targets primarily fat? Really? That must be why all these women trudging away on the treadmill day after day, month after month look either the same, or like slightly smaller copies of their old selves, right? /sigh

I'm not disparaging your decision hun. I'm just making a point. I'm 100% sure...based on the fact that you have (CLEARLY) taken an active interest in your childrens health and well being...that they are far better off than other children who aren't lucky enough to have such a dedicated parent.

You asked... I'm kidding, but seriously...no workout is going to increase muscle mass, which is what she's concerned with...as long as she's eating on a calorie deficit. No sport either. I understand that some people inject a large amount of sarcasm while saying this...but that's something you have to deal with on the…

I'm with this guy.
