Hello, Dan! I grew up in MD. I'm in Jersey now. Welcome!

Pizza. I can totally eat an entire large pizza and not look back. So, if I decide I really want pizza, I have to get it at a pizzeria that sells it by the slice. I can't be trusted to have an entire pizza delivered to my house. It's just not a pretty sight. I remember in grad school sometimes dinner would consist of an…

As a man who used to have to buy in the plus-size store, I just hated that they were ridiculously expensive. Some of the pants and shirts had a $20 mark up on them, and they were much cheaper at "normal" sizes in a regular store.

Wow, I must be the only guy on here who isn't bothered by this. I don't go walking around like that because I'm self-conscious. But, it's a locker room. I expect to see people naked. Nudity isn't shameful or disgusting. If people want to stand around nude while conversing, more power to them for being comfortable with…

I don't have any tips. I just do it! If I'm going to make it a priority during the week, it makes no sense to not make it a priority on the weekend as well.

Yes, a sauna is not exercise. If it were, I'd lose weight every day for teaching in my classroom without air conditioning.

Do you *have* to snack during the movie? I used to think that I did, but then I realized most of the snacks were always gone by the time the movie started. So now, I don't.

I'm a left-handed Mac user. :)

Great job! The last 20 may be the hardest, but the victory will be all the sweeter.

I think you're right on about the friends thing. Also, if you look at most threads, the number of viewers is way higher than the number of posts. Sometimes, when you post at night, the threads don't get seen as much. And by the time morning comes it gets pushed down because there are so many other topics posted. But,…

Showoff! :-p

I don't log things like that, because I find it ridiculous to do so. I wouldn't want to be thinking I could go eat those calories. For me, exercise should be purposeful. I do it with the intent to sweat and burn some calories. If I'm just out shopping, that's not exercise to me.

Great job! I know..it's an awesome feeling. I was a 46-48 waist and I can now fit into 40s. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to buy clothes in a normal store!

What the hell does one do to a BBQ chicken sandwich to make it that many calories? Are they soaking the bun in butter?
-
Yes, you will do it. You'll have highs and lows, and it will take time. But dammit, you will do it!

Mine is open to the public. Feel free to look, get ideas, and critique. But if you get something out of it, you should add me as a friend!

That's just life. We're going to have fast food from time to time. Now, next time you're faced with it, ask yourself "Do I really want these?". If so, eat 'em, log 'em, and don't feel guilty about it. If not, find something else and pat yourself on the back.
-
So? Count the calories and move on. One batch of fries does not a healthy lifestyle break.

Congratulations! You should be so incredibly proud of yourself. I'm training for my first half-marathon in October and am scared to death about it, so I thank you for the blow-by-blow account and giving some more insight as to what it was like. Congrats, again!

Thanks for this!

My favorite, Chicken Club Nachos from Moe's Southwest Grill, are 2300 calories. I won't even talk about the fat and sodium.

Thanks for this!

I need to make this. I used to love the WW Smart Ones Breakfast Quesadillas but now I don't eat them as I'm going all natural-esque. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to just make one myself. Thanks!

I've changed in two ways: 1) I think about what I put in my mouth before it goes in, and decide if I want to spend the calories or not. I don't deprive myself of anything, but now I stop to think about whether or not I really want it. If I really want it, I'll make it work. 2) I arrange my social calendar around my gym…

Absolutely. Yes, I'm losing all this weight for health reasons, but I'd be lying (and I think manyof us would be too) if we failed to mention that part of it is for vanity as well. Let's face it..we WANT to look good in addition to being healthy. I want to know what it's like to take my shirt off at the beach and not feel…

I tell my coworkers and my students, because I'm very proud of what I've accomplished. I have a coworker that talks about her grandchildren all the time because she's proud of them, so I see it as no different. In doing so, I've inspired a coworker and my sister to join this site. And, I gave my students a crash course in…
