I work for an entertainment company and it's company policy to NOT accept or even read submitted ideas without appropriate documentation. If someone pitches us randomly, we have to report it. It's a VERY Legal situation so as to not put the company at risk for "stealing" ideas. This is direct from NBC's website: "Finally, NBC cannot accept, consider or pay for any unsolicited creative ideas or materials. If you send something anyway, you waive any claims with respect to your submission. So why send it?" Best bet is to make friends with a writer (especially at NBC) and see if they can give you any advice on furthering a career as a writer. |

| Weight Loss | Can you eat chocolate and still lose weight? | Jun 16 2009 19:46 (UTC) |

yes, you can totally eat your chocolate! It all comes down to eating less than your daily calorie needs and you'll lose weight. others on here will disagree, but I believe a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. |

The best thing while traveling is just to make the best food choices you can- ask for grilled, steamed, dressing on the side. I travel a lot for work and unfortunately, business trips involve a lot of socializing and ... drinking. To keep people from commenting about my lack of wine sipping, I always order a soda and lime. Keeps you hydrated, on track with the diet, and people just assume it's a vodka tonic. ^_^ |

| Weight Loss | Overeating | Sep 19 2008 04:12 (UTC) |

I clean a plate every time! (Ugh, yesterday it was at chipotle with an entire bag of chips and guac- oops). Things that do work for me: bag up half your meal at a restaurant and eat for a later meal (thus not wasting) and using only the small plates at your house. Oh, and I serve myself a portion from what I make at home and put the rest away in the fridge before I even start eating. Hope these help- you'll do great! |

Personally I'd veer on the side of over estimating calorie consumption, disregard the 'revisit,' and take tomorrow as a new day. Btw, congrats on making it three weeks! I know how hard it can be when it feels like your social life revolves around it- keep it up! the not drinking, not the revisiting. LOL. |

| Weight Loss | For singles: cooking for one? | Apr 11 2008 17:44 (UTC) |

I've been a huge fan of freezing as of late. I'm in the same boat and every evening I want to whip up something new, I just divide the leftovers into single servings and plop them in the freezer. They're great for grabbing one on the way out the door for work, and perfect for those nights you don't want to actually cook. Plus, way better tasting than store bought frozen entrees, less expensive and way less sodium.

No, I've wanted to but although my gym offers 3-4 beginner classes a day on them, they're always booked. I'd be curious for feedback on it as well! |

Definitely 3-5 for me. And the scale will NOT budge until four days after. i guess its good though, keeps me on my toes every time to make sure that its not a true weight gain! |

I never thought this was possible, but I actually have given up drinking for the past 3 weeks and surprisingly lost 10 pounds by changing nothing else. I still go out 4 times a week, but just order soda water and lime now, mmm... so good that I crave it now! just wanted to throw it out there. |

I love salsa on salads as well! I'll brown up some ground turkey with taco mix stuff, throw it on the salad with the salsa, so good! |

I ran into a similar problem a few months back... that is until I bought a food scale. It's amazing what I thought was a portion compared to reality. Might be worth looking into if you don't currently have one. Just a thought. |

Why not invest in some high protein shakes to supplement your work outs, and throw in some bananas, honey, etc. to boost cals? or my fav non diet meal is 3 eggs + veggies + cheese into omelet with a little bit of salsa. Just incorporating more protein and carbs into meals will help balance out your day. I agree, I'm watching my calories and I still think it'd be hard to eat 1100 cals in one meal! Good luck! |

| Weight Loss | Deficits... Again | Mar 26 2008 16:19 (UTC) |

A deficit of more than 1000 a day for a week increases your weight loss of over 2lbs a week. There are a lot of debates, but from what I understand, a 2lb loss a week is considered healthy. I think as long as its not a daily thing, you'll be fine. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? |

ooh yeah, the joys of point counting, lol. I try to eat a 1000 calorie deficit every day, and no more than that. If i work out, definitely make sure that I eat more to not exceed 1000 cal def. I've been doing spinning lately, it completely beats me up, but surprisingly growing to like it. Oh, how i miss the sunshine, i grew in the SW! |

Hi, I'd love to join. I also need a good challenge and a group to keep me in check. Read the book, it was good and i actually went vegan for three months because of it but realized i missed my cheese too much! Going on vacay in may, need to get beach body ready... 5'10 SW:162 CW:156 GW: 148 by April 19th UGW:140 *edit 4/9* 3/18: 152.2 3/22: 149.8 3/26: 148.8 (-1.0) 3/29: 147.4 (-1.4) yay! Haven't been this weight in 5 years! 4/2: 147.0 (-.4) 4/5: 148 (+1), 4/9: 145.0 (-3!) 4/16: 144.5 (-.5) Sorry for the delayed weigh in, I started a new job this week and its been crazy. Also, I just discovered shirataki noodles at whole foods today (in their tofu section)- these noodles are no carb, high fiber, low cal, no fat, honestly, the best noodle replacement you think of. not perfect, but still good. they made me excited, so i thought i'd pass on!

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
