Life weights.  Srsly. Muscle weight will make you feel better than gut weight.

I lost about 40lbs when I went vegetarian and I avoided high fructose corn syrup as much as possible. I also walked a lot (the nearest decent coffee shop is blocks from my school) and did yoga, so that was another 10lbs.

I need to get motivated to gain some healthy weight. Right now, I'm about 110 lbs, which is about 20 lbs underweight, and its having an effect on my sleep, mental processes, and general well being. Eating horrible fatty foods and high sugar foods isn't going to help me; the former will make me sick and the latter will spike and bottom out my blood sugar. I /do/ eat breakfast every day, a good helping of steel cut oats (thanks for suggesting this badge; I haven't had a mid morning crash since I started), and I eat lunch and dinner (usually).

Fuck you Kai.

At least you aren't 160 lbs and complaining about wanting to lose weight though.  I hate that.

does anyone know how many more calories you burn by thinking really hard? as opposed to staring off into space blankly?

If I was 160 and wanting to loose weight I'd probably just change to the diet I have now, eat less and exercise more.

It's one thing to know where you are and not know how to address it. It's another thing entirely to complain about it.

You could try more beans.  I just tossed a pack of them back into the freezes cause it came to 500 calories.

I've just been tracking my calories, and it has really helped me lose weight. If I know that half-bagel with cream cheese will put me over my limit, but I can eat as much cucumber salad as I could possibly ever want, it's great incentive to make better food choices. That, and making friends with being kind of hungry all the time. I also eat first thing in the morning, and that's made a big difference. I just keep boiled eggs and sliced cheese and stuff like that on hand.

Yep.  That's pretty much what I'm doing, and I'm down to 235 pounds from 268.

Yeah, no booze at all.  Plus, 8 hours a week at the gym.  Good boring stuff like 5 of those hours being on a treadmill.

The payoff, of course, is buying a bit more time on the planet ( :crankey: ) and not having to inject myself with insulin.
