Am I the only one wondering which spices were used? Really? OK.
No. No, you're not. Also - what kind of sausage?
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm not trying to jump on my fat acceptance soapbox; I just want to note that weight loss, and the maintenance of same, is very VERY hard.
I've stopped thinking about losing weight. I still go to the gym about five times a week. And I try to be reasonable about my diet (I'm not eating all these pies I'm making, I've given some away). I feel AMAZING just with the working out (and not for 3-4 hours, either, sometimes, just as little as a half an hour can feel good).
That's the metric I'm using--how good I feel. If I happen to lose some weight, yippee. If not, I still feel pretty damn good.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Also, and I don't want to discourage Alibelle or anyone else from dieting if that's what they want to do, but diets don't work. It's been proven, repeatedly, that over 95% of people who lose any amount of weight on a diet -- and I mean as little as 2 pounds -- cannot maintain the weight loss for longer than 5 years.
But I don't want to look like this anymore. I mean, there's changing a diet, but are my workouts futile as well?

Right, but do those things lead your body to process a hamburger calorie different from a broccoli calorie?
There is some evidence that simple carbohydrates cause more weight gain than their equivalent calories in protein and fat, possibly because they trigger an increase of insulin in the blood stream.

I had the impression Alibelle was on a diet for a TV show or something. Which amuses me, even if not true.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't think so, Allyson. From the study which proved that diets don't work in the long run:
If dieting doesn't work, what does?
"Eating in moderation is a good idea for everybody, and so is regular exercise," Mann said. "That is not what we looked at in this study. Exercise may well be the key factor leading to sustained weight loss. Studies consistently find that people who reported the most exercise also had the most weight loss."
I also think that diets don't work for the long run, but a change in eating habits does. Especially if you eat a lot of junk food or sweets (this is me) or drink a lot of alcohol. Choosing healthier foods and being aware of portion size is really important for health--and the side effect can sometimes be maintaining weight loss.

What Scrappy said.
I believe the 15 pounds I've lost this year is primarily from increased activity. I certainly haven't been trying to lose weight, although with my Sous Kitchen meals I am a bit better with portion control since I try to make sure (for budget reasons) to get at least as many portions from each entrée as they say I should.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The *only* thing I've ever done to lose weight successfully was to go off birth control. I'm 20 lbs lighter since I had Dylan than I've ever been in my entire adult life, with no other change in eating habits or activity level. (I now chase a toddler around the playground every day, but I haven't had a gym membership in almost two years so it evens out.)
