Chandler, AZ
I just moved here from Louisville, KY. Anyone in this area? Could use some tips on where to go, things to do, how melting in the summer promotes weight loss, etc. Oh, and would like to share weight loss tips too. :smile:

Do people treat you different after you've lost?
Has anyone who has lost a significant amount of weight felt like people treated them differently after the loss?

Fat Christians
Does anyone else notice the big, fat elephant in the room? How easy is it for chubby Christians to look down on, pray for, and/or identify people with drug, alcohol, porn, smoking, overspending, and/or cheating issues? I'm talking about myself too really. All the others are so easily identified. Sally's smoking again,…

What % cardio and what % strength?
I've been spinning or using the elliptical for an hour at a time. Keep reading that building muscle leads to weight loss. What is a good split between cardio and strength training? 50/50?

TDEE - 20%
Took the leap of faith. Ate 1200 for three weeks. Wasn't working. Started eating more and the scales started moving again. It is just so weird to eat more to lose. But if this continues, I might be a real believer.

1200 stall, 1500 gain
I thought if I bumped my calories, I'd lose. Just whining I guess.

I want to lose weight
Been doing 1240 cals a day, and working out 3-4 times a week, cardio for an hour. Initial drop, then stalled, and then 2 lbs regain. TDEE - 20% is 1740. That makes me nervous. I think I'm going to shoot for 1500-1600 and see how that goes. So I spoke with my mother-in-law the other day. She and my sister-in-law have lost…

Going from 1200 to 1740.. gotta try it
I have such a hard time believing it. But I am the type to believe what the masses say. And what some of you describe is exactly what has happened to me. I've been eating 1200 cals/day for about a month. First week it came flying off. Water weight. Then my weight slowed down the next week, feel flat the following week and…

Oh My!
Whoever suggested using a mushroom in the place of pizza dough, I could kiss you! Made BBQ chicken pizza. Flipped that big boy upside down, put some BBQ sauce on it (no, it wasn't sugar free, couldn't find any), buffalo mozzarella cheese and sautéed chicken. Baked it for about 15 mins. and then broiled it just a tad to…

Mushrooms
I love em. They are so filling too. I was just reading that Katy Perry and a few other celebs chow down on them for weight loss. I'm finding more and more, my stir-fry is almost half mushrooms. Anybody here have success by loading up on them in their diet? Tell me if I'm doing something horrible too. Would hate to find out…

On the table was.. avocado with lemon juice heirloom tomato slices with mozzarella and Italian dressing grilled chicken pasta (high fiber) shells mixed with asparagus/broccoli/julienned carrots and pasta sauce, and it was mostly vegetables I ate: 1/4 avocado 3 slices tomato 1/2 chicken…
