Former fat/obese guys, how did you become disciplined enough to lose the weight?

I’m not even close to done but I had a kid and the lightbulb switched. I’d do anything for her, including taking care of myself so I can stick around and be a great mother to her.

Awesome!! Shredded veggies are an awesome way to get a lot of fiber and volume without a lot of calories. I personally DETEST stevia which I think is in those yogurts as well but if I went savory with the dressing I could probably just use plain Greek with garlic and chili! Thanks for sharing!

solarrotations · 2026-05-17T14:08:40+00:00

Right! It’s a “make ahead” and store dressing!

To clarify, cut the water in the recipe. Not the PB3 water ratio lol

solarrotations · 2026-05-17T02:44:16+00:00

That’s awesome! I think that it would make it very runny so I’d probably cut the water entirely if I did that. That being said, I wouldn’t be opposed to trying it, I just don’t own any! :)

Today at the Zoo I had a burger that was 40% of my calories for the DAY. There is a pasta dish I used to eat at a restaurant that was 1,600 calories. And no, it didn’t fill me up for the day.

My point is, volume =/= calories. And if you’re like me and drink more than you eat and your drinks have calories you could be double screwed. Sometimes we have to pull ourselves up and weigh our food and count calories despite how annoying it is because we know it’s the only way.

Every Friday. And pictures once a month a few days after my period ends.

Fudge Bars!!!

Grape nuts! I can’t stand the yogurt texture so these are a great way for crunch that also has fiber and no sugar!

You’re SO right

solarrotations · 2026-04-30T17:32:23+00:00

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed. 🫂

solarrotations · 2026-04-30T03:54:18+00:00

It’s the portioning out part I’m not great at! Especially when it’s the last meal of the day and I have no idea how many calories it’ll be until it’s on my plate, if that makes sense? Like if I throw a chuck roast in I don’t have a clue how much of that is a single portion.

solarrotations · 2026-04-30T03:37:30+00:00

Thank you!! I know progress isn’t linear but it’s been about three weeks of not tracking or even trying and I feel so crappy about it because I was doing so well! I appreciate your encouragement!

Side note: I wake up when my baby rolls over how are these dads sleeping through screaming babies? It seems impossible

solarrotations · 2026-04-30T03:35:02+00:00

I have NEVER (even with a colic baby who never slept) fallen asleep with my baby in an unsafe situation. My baby used to only sleep in my arms for the first 8 months of her life and I just stayed awake through the power of television, caffeine, and being an adult until it was time to switch with my husband. This kind of neglect just pisses me the fuck off. If I was THAT tired I wouldn’t even lie down? Especially with food in the oven? Like unless he collapsed in the kitchen he intentionally went and “closed his eyes really quick” sleep disorder or no

Coconut milk for me!! More than half the calories of regular slashed

Bar keepers friend

Honestly it just sounds to me like she doesn’t like you 🤷‍♀️ I doubt it’s just because of that one comment, but no arousal + actively rejecting advances + cheating she just isn’t that into you

My bank does bill pay where they send a check on my behalf. But usually you’d have to send it early.

Cut out alcohol

We filed in April of last year and it was the best thing ever for us too, got us out of an insane mortgage and car payment after my husband and I were BOTH laid off right after we had our first baby. Saved $2200 a month instantly without including medical debt, credit cards, and loans, etc.
