An obvious typo is OK, everyone makes mistakes. But if you clearly do not know the correct spelling or usage of a word I will correct to educate. On forums, at work in memos and emails, if I see it in print, etc. Text and IM are exceptions. In IM at work we are generally typing so fast to solve a critical problem quickly…

Ayuh! The Dirty Lew, the Old Port, good times! and anything above Augusta is Up Noth, even though its only 1/4 of the way up the state because the whole top half is nothing but trees and moose, and where people go "Upta Camp" on weekends.... southern maine is the bottom 10%, central maine is the rest of the bottom quarter,…

This. and it will slow down as you weigh less. you won't maintain that rate forever. The only reason for "barking" is if someone is consistently eating far too little. Just make sure you follow the plan, and if that's 1600, then do 1600. The problem lies when people think "If the plan is 1600, and I eat 1000, I will lose…

smoked for about 17 years on and off, quit with pregnancies, and for short bursts here and there. I will say this: IT WILL NOT WORK until you are mentally ready and TRULY want to stop. If you think, "I'll try but i really love smoking" you are setting yourself up for failure. One day i just woke up and said I am not going…

yes...all of this plus (depending on which part of Mass you're from...i was south shore/cape/ New bedford) Coffee Milk is the drink of choice at a breakfast restaurant. Linguica Pizza is more popular than pepperoni chow mein is crispy brown noodles with a thin brown gravy sunday morning is malassadas at the portuguese…

It's one of those things that is personal preference. A lot of people prefer fasted cardio. I feel like vomiting if i eat anything before 9 AM, so i lift fasted in the AM. but NEVER skip your COFFEE!!!!!! Caffeine is amazing! :drinker:

so, if you are now fasting until sundown, what's the problem. even if it was 800 calories, that's great to help get you through your WHOLE DAY. Eat another 800 at sundown!

i buy plain greek yogurt too, the protein content is higher and the sugar content is far lower. I add one splenda packet and a splash of vanilla extract and I have instant vanilla yogurt with more protein and less sugar than store bought vanilla greek yogurt.

^what they said

Next Gen hands down. Liked some aspects of Voyager. DS9 was *kitten*, and Enterprise was the toilet the *kitten* was floating in.

change your lifestyle to active, don't add in more for work

no plus emancipated =/= emaciated lol

This is something I have had to teach myself to live by. The thought of trying something new (job/school/even shopping at a store I'd never been in before) would leave me paralyzed with fear and I would just NOT do it because it was easier to stay with what was familiar and comfortable. I did not pump my own gas in my car…

I went from a TDEE of almost 3000 with my "on my feet running around all day" job, to a TDEE of 1600 with my current office job. I almost never break 5000 steps. The first year I gained weight because i forgot I'd have to eat a lot less. Now I eat between 1200-1600 a day instead of 2500. You just need to learn to eat less.…

I knew a woman on here who lost a lot of weight and purposely went real slow, even stopping and doing maintenance for a month or so here and there to let the skin catch up, and weight lifting, that is the key too... Not only did she have NO loose skin, she was smoking hot sexy when it was done. IIRC it took about 2 years…

Your metabolism is always going. It only stops when you're dead.... I wake up at 5 and only have a cup of coffee before ten and feel great. I work out fasted in the AM too. Sausage and eggs around ten to "break the fast", simply because that is the time i feel hungry.

Read this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants and all the links this link links you to. Then read them all again, slowly. There's a lot to absorb there. Then come ask specific questions if you have any and we would be happy to help! :)

you don't "need" to cut carbs, but it works for me, personally. but you NEED to eat quite a bit more calories, from a health standpoint, not so much a weight loss one. you'll lose at a slightly slower rate, but you'll be healthier, less tired/crabby/hungry, and will have a lot less loose skin when you're done.

so, you're 5'9" 235? you're eating like a 4'10, 110 lb girl trying to lose 5 pounds. Your BMR is 1800-ish. This means your body NEEDS that many calories to SURVIVE even if you were in a coma. I suggest raising your goal to 1800 and aiming to REACH it by eating healthy foods. Do this for 3 weeks CONSISTENTLY before deciding…

it is. first i'll start with a compliment: for the small amount of calories you are eating, you have done a good job getting enough protein! The problem lies with the fat content and total calories, which can be fixed by simply getting rid of the fat free versions of things and eating the full fat versions, like cheese and…

what is your height? current weight? goal weight? what types of workouts are you doing?

1. your diary is not open 2. just from what you said, you are not eating enough. You need to eat a MINIMUM of 1200 calories a day, just to get the adequate nutrition your body needs from all the various micro-nutrients. And with a goal that low, ALL of those 1200 should be high quality nutrient dense foods, no junk. With a…

...and this is exactly why it's not.
