Thanks, Dani...these are awesome.

I use this site a lot to keep track of the calories I eat every day.

http://www.calorieking.com/

You just have to type in the food and it gives you the calories for different amounts. It also has restaurant calorie info.

That's a cool tool

applekisses said:

Cool!

Other low fat foods!

Remember guys, CONDIMENTS CONDIMENTS CONDIMENTS!
Ketchup and Mustard have NO fat.

Also load up on dill pickles as a side dish.
No mashed potatoes or fries! PICKLES.
(Make sure dill and not 'bread and butter' they have extra cals.

Right?



Although I did have a small piece of cheese and about 20 baby carrots for dinner last night.

SureThing said:

yum!!!

I just had 2 Blood Oranges

Mach said:

I love those things.

I'm just trying to help.

Also sips of water between each bite is good.

Disolve bullion cubes and drink them in hot water to curb your appetite.

And when you drink water, drink it ICE ICE ICE cold, since your body has to burn calories to keep your body temp up.

Fiber pills boost metabolism. (I think its fiber?)

Here's how I eat (on a good day, that is).

I try to put together a bunch of things that are healthy. I try to make my serving of each one no bigger than my fist.


I do read food labels to see what I am eating and what the calorie, fat content is but I don't count calories for my servings.

That's as far as I am willing to go.

For only 10 more calories you can put 2 tbsp of salso on top, if its really such a big deal.

taking your fat ass for a jog is an excellent way to loose unwanted fat.

Ribbed4UrPleasure said:

Yes it is.
And make sure to go uphill backwords, and to run on your toes guys.

Also layer up so you sweat it out!!!!!

SureThing said:

jog uphill backwards?

Ribbed4UrPleasure said:

Very true, but just working out will not be enough if you wanna get rid of the jelly.

Ribbed4UrPleasure said:

Yes, it's good for the ass.





And if yous don't like my tips feel free to go write about how you WANT to lose weight somewhere else.

This is for DOERS!!!!

And Erin.


Cuz I like her.

just do tons of cardio!

SureThing said:

I'm a DOER!!!

Imma gonna do my fist in your face if we ever meet!

JustErin said:

correct!
shoving your face full of refined sugars and starches adds to an enormous jelly belly. Cutting those items out will help reduce the bulge.

SureThing said:

god! I would trip and catch my teeth on the pavment on the roll down!

JustErin said:

Surething, Give your husband a hummer 3 times a day and the weight will melt off of you. That's the best cardio in the world for a woman to do:lol:

jaimestarr79 said:

Well, THANK YOU for the tip!

And No I did not find that degrading at ALL.


Hey Apples will you type

'a whole pineapple'

into the calorie counter for me?

I can't figure the site out.

SureThing said:

It's not as user friendly as it could be. You kind of have to dig around to find stuff.
It says here that a one pound, fresh pineapple is 227 calories.

applekisses said:

Dude, I jsut ate a whole fucking pineapple.

THE WHOLE THING!

How many lbs is a pineapple?

SureThing said:

I'm surprised you don't have a stomach ache! I'd say it's probably a pound...mmmmm...fresh pineapple is sooooo good.

applekisses said:

Ahhh, my stomach is like a diesel.

Well, that pineapple took up all my calories for the day. But now my tounge feels funny.
