2012 Fall Fatty ChallengeFollow

Damn, guess I got 1750+ pounds to go, then. BRB BUYING MILK

Trolling aside, everything in moderation is really the point. If you have 2oz of a milk a day in your coffee, that's minimal and is definitely not what is making you fat. But when you factor in the "sweets" (pastries? butter? cream?) that's more cow fat. Then you factor in all the eggs. That's chicken fat. Then on top of all that, the empty sugar calories, and the fatty meats, all that **** adds up. Quibbling over milk in your coffee or the occasional bowl of cereal is moot. I'm saying, from my experience, even pre-veganism, I found soy milk/rice milk/almond milk to be a very good substitute in many cereals, and they make soy/coconut/almond creamer to put in coffee, which is definitely a decent substitute.

It's trying those substitutes and finding things that work for you that help you cut out calories that you have an emotional dependance on, because you can create that same emotional connection with something that tastes almost just the same, without slowly killing yourself in the process.

I've heard that if you stick a toothbrush far enough in the back of your throat, it's magic diet tiemz.

Eat an entire bag of chewy chips ahoy in one sitting.

You won't want to look at cookies again for months.

If you combine the total weight of BT and myself, it's almost 260lbs.

I love cheese. Being born and raised in Wisconsin, I have learned the code of moderation when it comes to cheese. That is a line your ***hole does not want to cross. Take it from a professional fatty.

Skip the peanut butter and replace the almond milk with an imperial stout, preferably bourbon barrel aged, and you're doin' it right.

Down two pounds this week, I think I was down three last. So far I've been losing every week. I was in Chicago last Friday for an amazing concert that I've been waiting to see for years. I originally intended to hit one local restaurant and also to get a combo beef sandwich (my favorite sandwich). I ended up getting a philly cheese on garlic and cheese fries from Phillys Best and I got a gyro and fry. Kind of bummed I missed out on the sandwich but going to attempt my own this week. I know I'm still shrinking down by the fit of my clothing so I have to assume that I'm still putting on muscle. My daily stationary bike routine is now 40 minutes and I'm able to maintain 120-150 BPM for my heartrate the entire time.

We weighed in this morning for our biggest loser thing so two pounds isn't at all bad, considering I had pasta salad, two chili dogs, and probably 2-3 servings of chips for dinner last night. No I don't eat garbage every meal and my breakfast yesterday was a serving of cheerios and lunch was a cabbage/sprout/onion salad with low fat/low cal homemade asian dressing, carrots, and an apple/banana/grape fruit salad with nothing added.

Down a total of 23.6lbs since I first weighed at my doctor appointment on 8/15.

Not on the first date.

Sweet. Nope, not a hip-hop listener here but was curious anyway.

I spent this past weekend in a Trump Tower hotel room. Trump may be a big doof but he makes a pretty sweet skyscraper. Plus we got free champagne!

It's easy to air pop popcorn in a sauce pan with a lid, with a little olive oil. Really tasty. Just heat the oil up with a couple kernels, wait for them to pop, then add the rest of it to the oil, then put the lid back on. After it starts popping for 10-15 seconds take it off the heat.

If you can find nutritional yeast at your grocery store, you can add a cheesy flavor coating with very very few calories, and lots of nutrients.

The reason I bought the air popper is twofold. First, I don't want to deal with an oily pan (this is the major reason I bought the air popper). Chances are that I want to get back to what I was watching or doing right away. Second, even when using a minimal amount of oil, it is still adding additional fat. The air popper bypasses that and pops via hot air alone. I did read about the yeast thing on another site and will be trying that at some point, I appreciate you bringing it up.
