I live in Seattle, the city has a soda tax. most people don't care and if they are stocking up for a party they just head out of king county to purchase. what I don't understand is if the tax is supposedly to reduce people drinking sugary drinks then how come it doesn't apply to starbucks drinks. cause lets be honest most…

I gave up diet soda but just going down to having it at home on Fridays when we have pizza night or when I went out to eat. no I have dropped the at home Friday pizza one and we almost never eat out so when we do I still have one and then water after that

currently 5'8" and 194lbs looking to hit goal of 160

What do your typical meals look like if your not even coming close to hitting goal and are full? are you loading up on drinks/soda etc. and forgetting to count those calories. I have always just have had a hard time believing 1000 calories fills anyone up. I mean heck a good breakfast of two eggs, one piece of toast with…

ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS! losing weight takes time, 5.6 pounds is a lot for two weeks and its unrealistic to expect that kind of results continuing to go forward.

only If the meal lasted all day and had at least 6 courses :) I get to hangry if I cant eat

yeah, I'm not worried about it. back when I only weighed a couple times a week I would freak out at every little gain. turns out its all superficial now that I'm tracking daily. I guess the point of my post was now that I weigh daily (some think thats excessive) it freed up that panic and the shaming I used to put on…

I also log it daily here and in libra. I like to see then trend because it helps me understand that even when I have a gain I can usually account the fluctuation to something else (water weight, pms etc) when I weighed weekly I couldn't tell what the issue was and freaked when after 7 days it was up two pounds.

YIKES. in the 17 years I have been with my husband not once has he made me feel terrible!

I eat whatever I want within my calorie goal. I am losing at a rate of .5-1 pound a week and I have 3 slices of pizza every Friday night for dinner with a salad. I also usually have a dairy queen chocolate dipped cone once a week as well. I just plan my days accordingly to make sure that these items can fit in or that I…

I like to go to MOD pizza and I can usually find a whole pizza I can eat myself that's 1000 calories or less

OVERWHELMING yes, impossible no. you can do this! once you get started it gets easier and you build a data base of recipes and commonly eaten foods then it literally takes a few minutes each day. I have only ever found success with calorie counting. I have to preplan my day so I know where I have wiggle room if need be.

I'm a fellow PNWer. see I don't consider the above photos to be cardio :) its called living! cardio to me is in a gym on a boring machine and yeah its boring. and as for the post about watching tv and movies and why couldn't I do them while on a treadmill? because I don't want to! they are two completely separate…

I'm in the cardio at the gym sucks camp. I would rather do anything than be stuck on dead ill or elliptical or what have you. I get my cardio from walking the dog, hiking and practicing taekwondo.

I recently watched a documentary on Netflix called food choices and he was on it. he's still fit but eats a normal plant based diet these days :)

NO his contention is nobody cares for his conversations in real life so he must be overly annoying here in the forum. stop feeding the troll. he will go away. seriously every post he makes is eyerolling painfully hard to read ;)

2 pounds fluctuation is normal. if you feel the need to weigh daily find a trending app for putting in your weight so you can see the long term trends. were the nuts salted? water weight? when I don't drink enough water I gain a bit. example this weekend I ate saltier foods than normal so my weight difference between…

start small and work up to it. I have run marathon and half marathons and I weigh 193

This is me. I gave it up for lent about 5 years ago. now I only have a soda when we go out for burgers (rare) or on Fridays when we have pizza I will sometimes have one. but I buy just a can or bottle so there's no "extra" I only drink water and black coffee now. it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to give it up…

read suspense novels, taekwondo, hike the mountains with the kids and dog and ride my motorcycle

BURNS CALORIES. all the more reason to get out and ride my VFR more :)

I ran a marathon and gained while looking like a drowned rat. I lift and get smaller and my hair stays perfect. I no longer run.....

way to healthy for my taste :)

OH YAY DRAMA. my midday workday just got better. now I just need some microwave popcorn

creature of habit for breakfast and lunch, dinner is something different every night of the month.
