Yeah, beer will surprise you.... I did see yesterday that Corona Light is only 99 calories. I know that will get a hugeJoined a couple of weeks ago. Realized that my "go to" beer for getting drunk quickly is 590 calories for 24oz.
from the beer snobs here but oh well. It's a good beer if you are concerned with calories.
It did the opposite for me. I decided I'd rather have the better beers with higher alcohol content and have fewer of them.Yeah, beer will surprise you....

Seems like the best option. I can drink 12 coors lights during the course of a day if I wanted to but I'm very satisfied with 3 or 4 Flying Dogs.It did the opposite for me.

Excellent point MM. I am a beer snob, that said I have become a big fan of a couple light beers when I want one. You can't drink 400-500 calorie beers regularly and expect to keep weight off. Amstel Light is a decent choice.Yeah, beer will surprise you.... I did see yesterday that Corona Light is only 99 calories. I know that will get a hugeJoined a couple of weeks ago.

Yup, I started this yesterday as well after lunch. Five Guys screwed me...
This is with 30minutes of elliptical which gained me an extra 400 calories. Not easy....my entire day consisted of the below and I still went slightly over:- chocolate chip cookie in the morning- Subway club, bag of doritos and coke fountain drink- one double tall kettle tonic with a handful of nachos at happy hour- salad with turkey and light ranch for dinner with Triscuits and some hummus. 2 glasses of sugar free Crystal light raspberry lemondade.
When you have all of choclate chip cookies, doritos, coke, alcohol, nachos, and salad dressing it's going to be difficult to lose weight. Pick your poison. This looks like a single man's diet, so I'd say keep the booze.Replace cookie with fruit and oatmeal. Drink water. Replace doritos with almonds. Use vinagerette dressing. Then have another drink and workout a little harder at the gym.
I had 1917 calories yesterday. I had2 packs instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal1/4 cup of nuts (almonds, cashews, macadamias)Zatarain's Dirty Rice w/beef&pork Peach YogurtJello sugar-free puddingZone protein barOrangeSalad w/honey mustard dressing, almonds, croutons, cheese, bacon and tomatoes
Yep, I get it. I'm 6-1, 195lbs right now and workout 5-6 times per week so far from overweight. I set my goal of 188lbs just to see how the app works. It really does make you feel guilty and think twice about anything you put in your mouth, so guess it does the job in that regards.
For the first day, this is great. Seriously. It'll take you a while to really hate going over and substituting out one thing to get to your new calorie goal.
started it yesterday also. Went over by 7 calories, which kept bugging me, so I ran in place for a minute and WALA I ended up 8 calories under.
Keep it up. Once you start losing the weight, it'll be worth it.I will say that at a certain point you plateau a little. January of last year was half way through my weight lose, and I stayed exactly the same weight for an entire month. I was super frustrated and almost quit but I stuck with it. In February, I started to lose weight again and there were some weeks where I lost 2 lbs instead of the 1 within a week.
I wonder why?
BUT MY SUB WAS ON WHEAT BREAD!!!1!1I wonder why?
Have you ever mentioned this in the 10k thread? This explains a lot
I used it over the winter and lost 25-30 pounds, which puts me at a very good weight (no longer in the overweight category for body fat % or BMI). I agree with what you guys have posted - I've stopped using it as strictly in the past three months, but am still the same weight just due to the things I learned. I do grab a couple slices of pizza or a burger once in awhile, but always at lunch so I can adjust my dinner choices or portions... or do a little exercise so I can eat as much as I want.Also, Coke Zero Cherry helped. Sugared drinks chew up your allocated calories pretty quickly.
Yeah, me too. My wife got me on it - she lost 30 pounds in about 4 months and got to a good weight as well.
Drop the Coke fountain drink (I'm assuming 24 oz, possibly a refill) and you're good.
beer and chips and Otis for motivation
I would probably rather have a naturally sweetened drink, even with the calories, than one that is artificially sweetened with chemicals like Aspartame or Acesulfame potassium. You should look into a Black Cherry seltzer. Polar makes a great one.
No thanks. I understand that chemicals are probably all going to end up being bad for us, but I like this drink, it doesn't make me fat, and I haven't been convinced that we know of anything wrong with artificial sweeteners yet.
What does adding people as friends do?
motivation
Primarily it allows those of us in the circle to poke fun and humiliate you into continuing your weight loss efforts.
They have to make the diaries public
Sadly my new binge food (Doritos Locos Tacos) puts me in the hole for about a week. There is green stuff in them, come on!Hard to believe, but 6 soft tacos put me over my daily caloric intake yesterday.
I decided that, since I am sure that the tacos I made are smaller than the ones that the app used to calculate 250 calories for AND I left the lettuce off, I'm going to put them in at about 10 calories each.Sadly my new binge food (Doritos Locos Tacos) puts me in the hole for about a week.

Yea it definitely is... I've been using two cups of regular cheerios (two times the serving) and throwing in some kind of fruit like bananas or blueberries. I've never been a cheerios fan but I would rather eat more and be less hungry than eat a small portion of some sugary cereal and be hungry in an hour.
The last 2 times I have given blood, my blood pressure has been in the "high" range. The first 42 years of my life, it was always "perfect".
Head over to bodybuilding.com. I highly recommend the nutrition subforum. Extremely knowledgeable people over there who have loads of great advice to share. Do a search if you don't see what you're looking for stickied. Best of luck!
