Oooh, thanks guys for all the yogurt ideas! I'll probably be going out soon to buy some =p 

Yay! I got free tickets to watch the F1 racing in singapore! And apparantly our seats are very good ;) Watching it with my cousin and her parents this saturday night.

agru - i know how you feel! I brought all my shorts to singapore because the weather here is so hot, but I didn't realise I've lost so much weight over winter that I have to hold my shorts up when I walk. its really embarassing -.-

Free? Good tickets are about 300-400 dollars now if I'm not wrong. O:

It's another of PETA's stupid publicity stunt for attention. To put it aptly, they're the Westboro Baptist Church of animal rights.

But you will notice that she fell out of the public spotlight after Titanic when she gained about 25 pounds. 

Maybe because Titanic was and still is the top-grossing film in the US? People don't shun media personalities just because they gain weight.

 Yet another example of someone trying to use personal insults and attacks once they've run out of things to contribute.  Yet another example of a person drawing conclusions that are incorrect.

I'm sure when this person has children of thier own, they'll undertand just how insulting and unacceptable it is to bring someone's children into petty arguements.  Either that, or they'll make the mistake of doing so in a place where  they can't hide behind a computer screen and the negative reaction will educate them.

This is you.

 It's hard to make a judgement without height.  But that woman is at best overweight...significantly.  I don't think she's "obese", perhaps I mispoke...but she is nowhere near her "ideal weight", not as specified by me, but as specified by the US government, this website, etc...

Original Post by caloricat:

Are these "ranges" good?  No.  I remember meeting 2 girls in college that were about 2-2.5 when I met them.  They were just a little too far outside my range...so I didn't pursue them.  Both ended up losing weight years later and ended up in the 7 range.  This was sort of a kick in the nads because these are 2 of the 3 women I've met in my life that had just perfect personalities...they would have made great partners over the long term.

What nonsense. As an overweight person yourself, what right do you have to be so judgemental? You aren't representing men with your opinion, many of us males are disgusted with your opinions.

I was actually waiting for the calls to start coming in for bigger women...but outside of one vote for Queen Latiffa...there wasn't any.

Because obviously the girl in that photograph is that big.

I think we should henceforth ignore this thread. Your arguments are growing rather stupid and you are throwing out a lot of self-righteous nonsense. (hypocritical? I care not)

Your opinion isn't ever going to change and you think you're right and on the moral highground but in actuality, you are just a troll and everyone in this thread but you knows it. Many of your points are flawed but I can't be bothered to argue against them because there's no point feeding the troll.

Seriously, stop writing all this rubbish, you're not convincing anyone. Pick up a sport or something.

Auggh! Interesting joust, but what was the question? What is better to eat at night, fats or carbs, I think. Personally I sleep better if I eat something fatty like a cookie or PB toast (type of fat doesn't make much difference to me) rather than something high carb like popcorn, dry toast or yogurt. But in terms of maintaining weight the effects of eating high fats (and salts) lasts for days, while the effects of eating high carbs lasts for hours. In other words the effect of night carbs on my scale weight the next morning aren't as noticeable as night fats. Over the course of a week it all balances out if I maintain that 100-200 calorie per day deficit. Hope this helps your bedtime snack selection.

That's probably because fats digest much slower than carbs. Personally, I prefer fats too.

Don't mind the die hard comments. Obviously a scale is the most accurate way to go, but you also clearly said for when you're eating out, etc.

Why would you want to eat out? Restaurants are full of caloric terrors! And if your pesky "friends" drag you to a restaurant, why can't you bring your food scale with you???

I remember what you're talking about. A serving of chicken is the palm of your hand, a serving of starch (potato rice or pasta) is your closed fist, an ounce of cheese is a domino. 2 tbsp of a condiment is the size of a golf ball. They're inaccurate but if you're keeping portion size in mind you're already doing well for yourself.

And if you want to be a true CC'er I'm sure someone can sell you a carrying strap for your scale so you'll never be caught without it.

Eh, because you don't want to let your diet affect your social life? If you withold from eating at restaurants for long periods of time during weight loss, you'll be frightened as hell to eat out again after you're done.

So my only real problem with the way my body looks is my mid section...and not my hips and thighs just my stomach..anyway I know that spot reduction is a myth but if you worked out one body part more and/or harder then the rest...what kind of effect would that have???

for example:

let's say i did the elliptical for 10 min, low row for two reps, side bends for 4 reps, lat pull down 2 reps, oblique twist 2 reps....basically doing an ab exercise after every muscle group

In very simplified terms, since you're having a caloric defecit, it'll just work your muscles there more meaning you'll lose less of them.

Original Post by la_fadeaway:

Are you sure you're putting on muscle? Nothing you are doing seems like anything that would give you those results. Really, the light weights are the only strength building you are doing and "light" weights won't cause you to gain muscle, especially in a calorie deficit. Are you sure it's not water weight or something else?

This.

It isn't muscle.

Miles Davis is awesome.

So funny, I was just thinking of trying an egg white, whole wheat flour pancake tomorrow. Any idea how to put it into cc?

Just add the 2 separately.

Anyway, I made the recipe above and decided that it could do with less cottage cheese and some source of sugar, I'm thinking banana. Will report back. :)

Not to take over your thread but uhh..what brands do you guys buy? =)

I love almond butter, unfortunately, there's only one brand here. Melrose, it's either British or Australian.

toast-

Your post reminded me of a radio show I heard friday morning.  Apparently there is an Italion model that is selling her virginity for 1.2 million dollars.  The radio hosts posed the question to their listeners, "if you had 1 million dollars and could spend it to sleep with any one celebrity/singer...who would it be?"

The answers included names like Jessica Biel, Natalie Portman, Danica Patrick, Megan Fox, Alicia Silverstone, Kate Hudson, Elisha Cuthbert, Heidi Klum, Heather Locklear, Queen Latiffa (the radio hosts didn't get that one either), Alyssa Milano, Kate Beckinsale, Denise Richards, Laura Prepon, Katherine Heigl, Salma Hayek, and Diane Lane.  I just thought the question was interesting because, due to this forum, I was actually waiting for the calls to start coming in for bigger women...but outside of one vote for Queen Latiffa...there wasn't any.

Why would my post remind you of that? :?

The (Nescafe) Original is set to 100g as the serving size.

Do you have the container available?  What does the serving size (of the coffee dry) say? 

 

Do you suppose that it's powder?

Original Post by bananee:

and I still think that reporting these sites can help at least reduce the amount of stuff that is published out there for anorexics and bulimics alike. This with putting up good websites would be a great contribution.

Reporting these sites to who? There's no internet police and no country owns the internet.

Besides, there's always this thing about freedom of speech and you shouldn't screw around with that. Much of the media you read enjoy much freedom of speech so don't take it forgranted. It's better. Really.

Stop eating. Tell yourself that only you control your actions and emotions. It works, really. When I felt like I badly needed another bowl of cereal (pre-weight gain), I would just ask myself if I really needed it. I would tell myself that it was just a sugar craving. It works for me.

A lot of can coffees have a lot of added sugar, but I don't think it would reach 440 calories. It may be an error.
