Habit and caffeine.

Nicely done!

Since I'm unwilling to give up bananas. I think I'll have to focus on dinner, and eliminating carbs from there. I had lettuce wraps last night instead of the tortillas I was planning based on a suggestion I received here. THANK YOU! It was yummy. I'll have to do that more often. The world is not over if I miss a macro, but…

Nope. 10 days. Was still fat, even sicker, wished I was dead. This is a marketing scam to make a **** ton of money. It works because you're lowering your calorie intake. But you could do that with FOOD. If you actually want to "cleanse", try a 24 hour one. But 60+ days is extreme and totally non-sustainable. All the weight…

I'm at 1200-1300 I pre-log and snacking is basically a 4th meal, calorie wise.

I eat whatever I'm craving, but in a controlled, informed way. This last time, I was -dying- for poptarts. So, I found 100 calories "pastry crisps" that are very similar. So I ate like....4 of those. It might have been 400 calories, but if I'd have had a box of real ones, it would have been much more than that. All about…

I....can honestly say a stranger 'encouraging' me is off-putting. I don't know you, why the hell do you care about what I'm doing? I can see how it would embarrass some people. If I'm running on a trail, and see someone passing the other way, we'll do the obligatory smile if I'm not bent-over dying. But that's where it…

Annnd there my mind goes, floundering in the gutter.

Less teeth = less weight. Anyone on the meth diet knows that!

Screw it. I'll go on the all kale diet. All kale. All the time.

Yeah, I don't buy in to the "eat more" thought group. Otherwise, people who get gastric bypass would never lose any weight, and they're lucky to get 900 cals in those first few weeks.

I do a lot of chicken and veggies, finding new ways/sauces to change how they taste. The meals aren't usually my problem, it's usually snacks that bring my close/over my cal limit. Check out my diary, I try to stay at 1200.

I hear anorexia is great for hair loss too!

I always forget about lettuce wraps! I'll give that a try, as I love bananas. I think I was an ape in another life.

Bananas get the blame because they're the most "extra" in my day. I'm probably fine with just yogurt for breakfast. But if I don't eat some kind of rice/carb with lunch, I get light-headed in the afternoon, and it affects my workout. Tortillas usually get added to dinner to make my calorie goal. I guess I could swap the…

I'm definitely larger than I think I am. Which explains why I let my weight get so bad.

I notice what people are putting on the belt at like....grocery stores. It's mostly garbage, and then I feel better about my own selections, which are overwhelmingly fruits and veg. One guy had an entire cart full of microwave meals and a few cases of soda. I had a moment of sads for him. Though I wonder, sometimes, what…

I'll weight myself first thing in the morning whenever I remember to. Sometimes a few days a week? I try not to overweigh because weight fluctuates. So once a week is probably best.

Get off the internet. Go back to the therapist. Mood stabilizers are wonderful things. Clearly, there are some demons on your back.

+1 for lesbians.

Did someone say Ferrari?

It must have worked the first time! And lasted 6, glorious online-months.

Woah,camel toe. That is impressive.

Pre-logging first thing ever morning allows me to not only plan my day, but to carefully monitor my calories. It helps me with will-power to not grab that one more snack bar at night because I've run out of "calorie credits" so I can't afford it. I feel like if I logged after, I'd run over my calories every day, and have…

Basketball is not a sport which requires strength. Challenge him on the rugby pitch, and you'll see just how much of a beast he is.

It's possible. But you'll have to carefully maintain your calories and exercise 5-6 days a week. Each pound is an additional 3,500 burned calories. So you're looking at 122,500 EXTRA calories you have to burn. Which translates to about 1800 a day. Work hard, and you can totally hit your goal.

I eat Greek yogurt mixed with a packet of Stevia every morning for breakfast.
