Lol.

You may want to add on protein and fiber if you don't have much. That makes a big difference in feeling full. I also drink a lot of water and that makes me a little fuller too.

You're workout sounds like enough, are you eating enough calories to let your body recooperate from all the exercise? Sometimes eating a little more than you have been can kickstart the weight loss because your body will be doing something different.

Hmm. I also wonder what percentage of people get to keep their hair more than shoulder length. They seem to chop everyone's especially if it's curly.

I lost 100 pounds and got bad stretched skin on the under side of my arms and my stomach. Everyone is different though. Losing slowly does make it look better than surgery shows where you see someone has gastric bypass and it the stretched skin can look awful.

As said above, you need to eat more than what you've been doing. Use the tools on this site with your goal weight and see what it gives you as a goal date to reach that. It may not be by September 2, but it wouldn't be too far off. I lost an average of 10 pounds a month when I first started losing, but that doesn't happen with everyone.

A larger baked potato from Wendy's with sour cream on it is about 320 cal. so if you eat one plain I'd say about 220.

Thanks everybody. And kajikit, your doctor will notice!

I don't eat somewhere unless they make their nutrional facts available. There's some things you assume aren't very good to eat but when I've found out what's in some of the things I used to have I couldn't believe they were THAT bad. So I always look it up first. Some places such as Applebees and Red Lobster tell you what's in a specific lighter section of the menu but don't have facts available for the rest of the menu. Others such as Chilis, have a PDF file on their website with complete nutritional info on every item. So usually you can find what you may be thinking about ordering or an equivalent.

As far as office food being around, I try to stay full with small snacks and meals throughout the day so nothing will look that tempting to me because I won't feel like I'm starving. If you really want something, then eat it. Have a smaller portion rather than skipping it and thinking about it all day and binging on something later.

I always have my activity level set at sedentary to see what I burn and then add my exercise in on top of that.

Congratulations! Go do something to treat yourself!

I think the information on here is correct, I usually get the 6" subway club on wheat bread with lettuce and no mayo. It's listed on here as 320 calories.
