Hahaha okay. If you did actively seek out overweight girls though, its nothing to be ashamed of, everyone has their own preference

I'm sure you know that.

Chuff is wrong though imo because she carries on to say that Becky has no problem at all with her weight but in my eyes she clearly does. As I was correctly pointed out, she nominated Deana twice because of her weight issues. Doesn't seem the mark of someone who has no issue at all in my eyes.

Yeah, I agree, she's very contradictory about it too, on the one hand she's says she's happy about her size and she had that burger eating bit in her VT but then on the other she's nominating Deanna because she commented on her own weight in front of her and she thinks she's skinny, that would suggest to me that she's in denial about how happy in her own skin she really is

Exactly! Thats my point right there... no one is happy being fat.

Most likely. Either she's happy in her own skin & weight isn't an issue (which goes for her view on others as well), or she isn't. At this point, she's saying one thing, but her actions say something else.

I'm not short enough to survive on that!

I've spent a lot of years and a lot of money to figure out exactly what I need in terms of fat/carb/protein ratio, calories, exercise, etc. I also don't for a second suggest to anyone that it's an easy thing to do. Becky isn't near ready to deal with it, which probably has a lot to do with her attitude, but I hope sometime soon she has a doctor who will talk to her straight about it, that she's very likely to die before she's 35 at the rate she's going.

I need 1800. If I go below that, it kicks off starvation mode and nothing works right.

As a 5ft 11 male I have operated on 1500 for a few weeks. My build would be fairly moderate though

Well, my numbers say that my body at rest burns approx 3.000 calories and in order to kickstart I put m yself on 1.500.. Lets see how that goes for now. I am female BTW.

I agree it seems that Becky isn't ready, I lost a lot of weight in my 20's on the Atkins diet, but granted that doesn't work for everyone. Calorie counting is the easiest to follow imo and Becks obviously has some knowledge of it but it appears to be a bit hit and miss she said something about Pasta being 1500 calories but offered no connection to the actually weight of the pasta. 1500 calories on it's own means nothing it's about 350 per 100g IIRC.

Atkins works so well!! I wish I could do it again at 100% mode.. its harder for me to go 0 carbs again.

Oh for sure. When its warm I'll switch it up and go running instead. I'd still rather be doing 1000+ other things though with my time than working out lol

Best to stay away from white bread all together if your watching calories, wholemeal has a lot less in it.

I really hate whole meal bread though

I don't eat wholemeal because of calories or anything like that I actually prefer it to white, white bread makes me feel sluggish

I do feel sluggish alot actually, I think it's because I smoke and don't exercise though, two things I need to rectify!

Make your own, and use finer ground. If you use the Artisan Bread recipes it's ridiculously easy, and once you get in the habit, you'll never buy it again.
