Yes it isn't half bad I use to throw it away then I started eating everything. If it is too fishy add some lemon juice...very small amount I eat a whole lot of salomon and have been doing so for a year now!!!

Woooooo I know that is right!!!! I had one of those days yesterday and it had nothing to do with counting calories.......

Nuts they are loaded with calories....and you won't have to eat that many, or try dried apricots....also very very good.... 

Hi, I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but first thing is you have not eaten enough calories. Also, kick your exercise up to 90 minutes per work out day, and I promise you--there will be a difference. Also, muscle is heavier than fat. I walked for 2hrs yesterday before exercising I weighed in at 155, now I weigh in today at 160, but my pants are bigger, belt loop has gone down a notch. I realize the muscle is weighing more. When I first joined CC, I was told to stay of the scale, and use a tape measure, at first I lost inches then my inches turned into pounds.I say all this to say this......don't let the scale discourage you and learn to eat nuts, they will give you the extra calories you need. Do not make your deficit more than 500 calories more than 3 days a week, you will wake up one morning and the fat will have burned off during your sleep, that is usually the case with me. Do not, I repeat do not give up yet.....it takes a good 4-6 months to get a really big notciable weight loss.   

If you want fast weight loss, I would suggest drinking lots and lots of water. But 40lbs is going to take a while, it took me a year to drop a simple 20lbs and that is with eating healthy and exercise 3-4 days a week for 90 minutes and 2hr work outs one day on the weekend.   

Awesome looks like you will be funnin' and sunnin' in the Sunshine State of Florida. You should be patting yourself on the back. 

When I used the ellyptical I didn't log it as running as it is a bit slower I would think less harsh on the knees but if that is what you would like to do I guess it is o.k. I would not because I would be afraid I would not loose what I thought I would. Running really burns a lot of calories in a shorter distance. What is your distance and what level are you at. I have seen people on the ellyptical that went so fast they should have been running. 

I have been here for over a year and I don't click on the ads. I do however go into links that are given by members. At first I never tried looking at the links then I had lost about 20 lbs and wanted to kick up my weight loss with an exercise program so I found other sites. But no advertisements. I would suggest you stick with eating healthy. Then try other things because this is a way of life not a diet.  There are wonderful benefits to eating healthy, more energy, good health, lots of stuff.  Good luck with your weight loss.

P.S. stay off the scale for about 2 weeks and notice what your clothes fit like......

I would not go over a 500-800 calorie deficit. When I first started CC, I would have a huge 1000 calorie deficit but then my body would go into stravation mode and I would eat and eat until I defeted my loss. So I learned to only have a deficit of 500 - 800 calories, about 2-3 days a week definitely not on the weekend as I exercised more. If you stick to your eat meter and exercise reasonably you will continue to loose weight. For me the exercise and eating right made all the difference. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so  I can hit the pavement. I don't like the gym atmosphere it is too crowded for me. Good luck I am sure you will be successful with your weight loss, and if you blow it, just drink lots of water, and continue to eat healthy.  

I saw a difference within the first week which gave me incentive to exercise...then I really saw a difference, at first it was just inches, then I started mearsuring my waist--back--hips--chest. I was shrinking, but don't get it twisted, I would mess up and eat. Then I got sick one weekend and that did it for me for about 5 months. But if you really work at it and do what is suggested I promise you there will be results, if you mess up just get back up and start all over again, and drink water, like you have never before. That helps a lot.  

Since I don't consume a lot of sugar I will be giving up meat this year. After Easter you go back to eating the way you did before Lent, or you can continue on your Fast. In 2008 I continued on my fast until September 2008. Lost a huge amount of weight thru not eating meat, and exercise. So I am surely for that effact again.  

I use to eat 500 calories per day, in the beginning, I did loose but I was always hungry. I then ate 800 calories 2 days a week and ate 1800 calories the other days. When I started exercising, I found that I needed the whole 2100 calories to keep from getting hungry. I also noticed if I ate 2000 calories I would loose more weight. I really don't understand it but it worked for me....so eat as much as you can. Perhaps if you exercised a little you would become a little more hungry. Your body goes into starvation mode when you don't eat enough. Eventually it does catch up with you.   

During the winter I always buy fish by the bulk and freeze it, even trout. shrimp, crab all of it, and if you eat it within the 3 month span it will be fine.

I know this is a little late, but here it goes......don't hate her!!! Remember there are things about you that are awesome. WE all have attributes her's just happens to be a six pack, and I doubt she got it doing cocaine.....just up your A-game and get your six pack. I understand how you feel, but hating her doesn't make the six pack go away, it is what it is......now you do your thing get either your butt pumped up, or your thighs looking tight or your bust to say...powdow!!!!! Girlfriend don't hate the player, hate the game. I would do something with a part of my body that she doesn't have, if she is skinny I can presume she is flat chested??? Well you have boobs, pump those bad boys up!!!!
