I only ate three things plus dessert on thanksgiving (Turkey and gravy, stuffing, and the sweet potatoes with the sweet topping), but I still feel like 4500 calories is doable on that. I ate really HUGE portions. Plus I drank three glasses of sweet tea, which adds up. I had pie after the meal and pie later after I came…

Nope I got worse. I come home and I have the choice between spending time with him or exercising, so I spend the time with him. And he like to eat bad things, and sleep schedule is way off :( Wish I could come up with a way to make both aspects of my life work in harmony.

I have a scale, but rarely use it. My system of mainly eyeballing and measuring in cups/tablespoons/whatever has worked for me, and I'd never complain that it has. To me, I can't be weighing every single thing I put into my mouth for the rest of my life, I'll get sick of it. But different strokes for different folks, I…

I hate that too. I have no idea how much a gram of something is, I wouldn't even know where to start. And sure I can measure my food, but who wants to measure something as small as salsa, and am I supposed to take my scale with me everywhere I go when I'm not home? Estimating works for me. Even when you weigh it's still an…

Outside! Treadmill is so boring. I go faster outside because I have a point I'm trying to get to. I only do treadmills for specific interval training.

To me, loving yourself means to always try to better yourself.

QFT

I eat more than that, but I don't care if other people eat less than I do!

Probably because it makes me hungry

Me too! Been running a year and a half and I lose weight when I lift weights a lot, but never from running.

QFT! I wasn't any type of drunk at all in college, but with Taco Bell 1/4 mile away (and I wasn't walking there), I gained about 30 pounds over the course of 4 years.

I have a piece of notebook paper and pen next to my bed...I have three different columns for all three pairs and just add them up! Not super fancy but nothing else has really worked for me.

It's lame to not do your best, whatever that may be. Could mean you should run it in under 20 minutes, could mean you walk and take sit breaks!

Hey OP (or anyone else), I also use a fitbit, how much of a deficit do you aim for daily/weekly to lose weight?

IDK, I know lots of men who abhor the gym too!

I hate going to the gym with a "gym buddy." If I have a friend who happens to be going at the same time, that's fine, but I don't want to have to work out with them too.

Bump

I don't know why people want any kids at all! But different strokes for different folks, I guess. They must be nice to have for some reason or more people would choose not to have them. I suppose I'll have to wait and find out if the day ever comes that I have one.

YOLO, let yourself have a cold pop. Sweet Brown did, and she avoided a fire!

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. I'm slightly active and my bf is mostly sedentary, plays a lot of games, etc., has been like that most of his life, was fit for a couple years in his late 20s, but has returned to his old ways, although not as bad, since we've been together. Sometimes he will go to the gym and lift on…

I ate about 2058. I burned about 2300 calories. IDK how to do the math to figure out net... I guess 1816?

What an awful problem to have.

I don't believe this, I seriously don't look anything like the silhouette they picked for me, and I am NOT an hourglass shape, considering my waist is only 6 inches smaller than my hips, and an hourglass is supposed to be at least 9. I'll admit I'm probably smaller than the original silhoette I picked, but they put me at…

I agree with this, not to be mean, but it's hard to notice when you see someone every day! Just be prepared to wait a while before he says anything. I've been doing this off and on for two years, so mine is used to it. It never really comes up anymore.

As much as the ring you want costs - you have to wear it the rest of your life! Of course something you like within reason.

I think people aren't giving specific numbers because a lot of people see "lifting heavy" not as an amount of pounds, but lifting as much weight as you can for a smaller number of reps, instead of the proverbial "more reps, less weight"

I know you're not supposed to solicit in the forums...but I'm curious what your webiste is?

I love green tea now, but I do have to say it is an acquired taste. I started drinking it every morning back in 08. I absolutely love it now, but I didn't when I started out!

I think they look great. I liked them on facebook and whenever they post an ad, there are a TON of people commenting about how they are too skinny and need to eat cheeseburgers. They don't say anything about the products! And these people are probably just jealous. I'm SO sick of it!

Same here
