I've finally realized how much I gained back.

You can still join the spring challenge...I'm on my phone so I don't have the link handy but LATE REGISTRATION should be one of the header buttons and on the side bar

I think alcohol and fast food and very closely related for myself as I tend to be alright avoiding fast food when I am on a diet (or at least getting something halfway decent if I do go)...but if I have been drinking, I am much more prone to stop at a fast food place for some carbs on the way home.

Which ties into my next though...I used to always drink beer when I went out and would have vodka+tonic or red bull if I wanted to get drunk. When I went on my diet, I swore off beer and have only been drinking clear alcohol (mainly vodka) and I now mix it with soda instead of tonic or red bull. We are going on our honeymoon later this week and I know it will be full of good food (that is probably bad for me) and plenty of alcohol. Part of my thoughts are that after the honeymoon, I'm considering swearing off alcohol for a couple of months to help me reach my goals and be serious about the last amount of weight that I want to lose. Has anybody else sworn off alcohol already...how did it go?

Went to dollar drink night at a bar with some work friends who were wasted. They go talk to these two girls at the ATM, girls end up sitting down across from me in a booth. Ask my buddies how it went...they said the blonde was engaged and the brunette with red highlights was single. I go over and introduce myself, bought drinks for the whole table of 7, made a joke about myself being a big spender with my $7 tab, started talking with brunette and followed them onto the dance floor.

30 minutes later I have bought them a few more drinks, paid up on a bet that the two girls wouldn't kiss for $10 (I didn't initiate the bet, my friend who had no money did), danced, and am sitting there talking to her when I ask how long she has been single. She tells me she is engaged and unhappy and we exchange numbers. A month later she had called off the engagement and we started dating, 5 months after that we break up (because I was a dumbass), 6 months after that we got back together, 7 years after that we got married...which happened to be this past weekend. I always look back and think that if they would't have made that silly drunken mistake, I would not have just married my beautiful wife.

Tl;dr-8 years ago drunk friends confuse which girl is single and which one is engaged at a bar, I inadvertently hit on the engaged one and just got married to her this past weekend.

Maybe it's just because I am generally blunt anyway or maybe it's because I'm a guy, idk...but in this situation, I wouldn't be worried about making her feel self-conscious. I am guessing that she knew she was fat, that's why she changed.

Just tell her how you feel, be honest...Tell her that you think she is amazing and is doing an awesome job. Tell her that her determination, knowledge, and helpfulness inspires you to work harder. Tell her that even though she might not realize it, that she is amazing friend and has changed you.

Those are all compliments in my book

I was raised in the bible belt, parents still go to church, I haven't been for a while. I am very conservative for my age but could support gay marriage under a few conditions.

If it was a federal/state license that was granted without forcing those institutions that don't believe in it (churches) to perform gay marriages, I would be alright with it. I still believe that homosexuality is a sin but also don't think they should be discriminated against for their choice to be a gay couple who wants to be married

Tl;dr-gays should be able to go to the courthouse and get a marriage license, churches shouldn't be forced to recognize/perform same sex marriages

I think it's possible but the design of the flair is not something that I handled and I couldn't promise anything happening soon.

My work-around idea...change it to -80 kg lost...that's about 175 lbs ;)

Hopefully all is going well for everyone...

My favorite foods in no particular order are: lasagna and as mentioned above, creme-filled doughnuts with a glass of milk

I know it doesn't show up on a mobile using an app to browse but the "Loseit FAQ" should be on the top of every page and it's linked at the top of the sidebar on the right....and I agree, people probably still don't read it ;)

BigCountry1369 · 1 month

They will always be linked at the top of the Loseit thread and also on the sidebar of the Loseit subreddit. For those that only browse on a mobile device, they will usually miss the thread if they don't see it on Sunday so it's important to check-in on /r/Loseit at least once a week.

Up to you...did you have a specific day you wanted to check-in on? If you want to do Sundays then yes, your registration weight would be your week 1 weight. If you want to make your check-in date Saturdays, the just check-in on Saturday and you have 6 days.

Updated title...Spring Cleaning it is. As Sara explained below, I don't mind using it so much as a reference to the Spring season but more of the idea that New Year's resolutions are either still going well or forgotten about...time to do some life cleaning and do some work!

You're not the main title but you're included ;)

Congrats on the progress, pics look great. My high was 350 and down to 290ish, so I too get the compliments for looking great when I am still overweight by 70 lbs. When I got fitted for my tux for the wedding I explained it to the guy like this...

"Listen, I used to be really really fat...now I'm just fat"

We've still got progress to make on our journey but seriously, congrats on the transformation so far...keep up the great work

Make sure everything that has the red asterisk next to the question has an answer (those are the required questions) and try again...if you continue to have issues just shoot me a PM with the following information:

Reddit username, age, height (in. or cm), weight (lbs or kgs), your country, goal weight by the end of the challenge.

Optional information you can submit as well would be: city, state, birthday, and email if you are interested in receiving challenge updates via email.

Are you trying from a mobile device? If it still doesn't work, go ahead and send me a PM with the following information:

Reddit username, age, height (in. or cm), weight (lbs or kgs), your country, goal weight by the end of the challenge.

There will be people with goals across the entire spectrum...some need to lose 150, some 20, some are just maintaining. Though at the end we look at who lost the most pounds (and usually do a percentage calculation as well), the main purpose of the challenge is to help people stay accountable. Once you reach that point in your life, we hope you share your story and stick around to help encourage those that are going through the weight-loss journey.

Last day to register before it "officially" starts will be Saturday...but we will leave the registrations open for a few weeks for anyone that wants to register late.
