Yup, pretty much all you can do. I'm currently unemployed and bored alllllllllllllll the time. You just have to have will power to tell yourself you aren't actually hungry

People lose weights at different speeds, you should never judge yourself against somebody elses progress. There is such a thing as too much exercise but chances are you aren't over doing it. You are simply retaining more lean muscle mass where as her body is burning it up because she isn't working out. be happy that you…

wrong, so very wrong. your BMR is the calories you would need if you were in a coma. Once you get out of bed and start moving and living your life your body uses up more calories. your TDEE is the calories you need to maintain current weight. My BMR is 1650 or something like that, my maintenance calories right now are…

I exercise as well. I was bicycling before it got cold and now all through the winter i've been doing different Jillian Michaels dvds

My diary is public, you can take a look at it. i eat anywhere from 1700-2000 calories. i've lost 30lbs so far, went from a size 16 pants to a size 11(and they're getting baggy) and an XXL top to a L from this to this

take a look at my diary...it's pretty easy to get in calories. I don't like to cook or plan meals much either, dinner is usually a lean meat with california blend and then i have left overs for lunch.

anybody know the correct angel food cake to other cake flavor ratio that I should use if I didn't want to mix the whole box together? I wanted to be able to just mix whatever flavor i want with the angel food cake without having to mix a bunch of several different boxes because that's just way too much cake mix for me and…

All of my weight seems to be coming off of my tummy. My thighs have shrunk a little bit as well but not nearly as much, hoping they start shrinking more soon!

I'm all for heavy lifting and sexy sleek muscles, but never would I want to look like that. Then again i've never understood competitions like this so I guess that's why i don't find this appealing at all. Same goes with men competitions..no thank you.

i don't believe so because pure whey tastes like utter crap..

Mine has been completely public every sense i joined. I like when others have theirs open as well so I can get new ideas for snacks and meals. I also won't comment on a friend's diary if it's private because for all i know they are eating 600 calories a day and I don't want to encourage that.

You don't have that much to lose so setting yourself at a 2lb a week loss isn't really realistic. Sure it comes off at first because of water weight and what not but then it slows down. I would try changing your goals to 1lb a week. I don't know too many grown men that should only be eating 1400 calories a day...that seems…

I've been doing it for about a week now, i'm loving it!

You consistently have a large amount of calories left at the end of everyday, that's not good. When you create too large of a deficit your body won't let go of weight because it's not sure it's going to have enough calories to keep you alive and all of your organs working properly so it holds onto everything you give it.

that is a beautiful dress!!! I know you can achieve your goal, just keep at it! :)

that is fantastic and congratulations to you!! children can be a great motivator for weight loss, i know my niece and nephew motivate me because i want to be able to run around and play with them instead of sitting on a bench and telling them "no not this time"

bumping this up 'cause i want to try making it.

I can't say i've ever noticed if i've been unfriended. There are a few people i use to be friends with but now am not but i can't remember if I unfriended them or vise versa. Quite frankly I don't care. I delete people all the time, People love to add me and then never not once do they comment on anything. Whats the point?…

there's really nothing wrong with flirting. but there is a fine line when you're taken. Also i don't understand people who say it's not big deal because it's on the internet, as if things can't progress past the internet. Sure it's just on the internet now but that doesn't mean things can't happen in real life. I found my…

You're not eating enough. Eating less than 1200 calories is a good way to ruin your metabolism.

It is incredibly annoying. My sister wants to lose 20lbs and she said she's always hungry, so i explained she is always hungry because her diet is filled up with crap and tons of carb with very little protein or anything else nutritious(she eats out a lot). So i explained to her if she cooked at home more and ate more lean…

that's what she was saying. As far as sugar goes, i never bothered paying attention to it. 25g seems ridiculously low and there's no scientific studies out there that i'm aware of that suggest we should eat a certain amount of sugar and until there is, i shall not worry

My cousin lost 70 pounds so i asked her about weight loss advice and her advice was to eat 1200 calories and start running. According to her, running was the only way to really lose weight. Which now that I look at her it explains why she is "skinny fat"

That's a fine start. Do what you can and what you are comfortable doing. You'll get better at it in time!

that's awesome, amazing progress!!

I think i'll be happy around 150, but i'm not really shooting for a number. Just whatever I feel is healthiest for me and leaves me looking healthy with muscles. I have a pretty large frame, i'm 200 right now but in a size 11 pants and a L top.

my dog does the same thing. Her circles me and then goes huffs and pouts on the couch :)

I love a protein shake because it's cheap, quick to make, and helps me reach my protein goals. Even with eating plenty of meat, yogurt, eggs, etc. i still don't reach my protein goals without a protein shake. It also helps with my sweet tooth and keeps me full throughout the afternoon. Mine is simply protein powder and…

^^ this I had planned on staying single as well but then I met a guy who's pretty great and turns out he's on a weight loss journey as well so it really works out for both of us. It's great to have his support.

No. I like my guy friends but in a strictly platonic way.
