Take away the bun and drink unsweetened ice tea or seltzer

 

I didn't realize how salty buns are, almost 500 mg of sodium go away without the bun. Jeez.

Nutrition content with the bun:



Without the bun:

 

Its how I lost most of my weight. Its 70% diet 30% exercise

 

I feel your pain! I love nutritional information being available everywhere, but it certainly can damper the mood lol. What I love about the nutritional content is that it gets people thinking and it allows them to make informed decisions. If its 1200 calories and 50 g of fat, and you still want it...go ahead and get it! At least we're aware of what we're putting in our bodies. Sometimes the info changes my mind as to what I really want to eat, but many times I'll still get what sounds good and I'll eat just half. Occasionally I just don't give a fuck and I'll eat the whole thing lol. Those are the times I make up for it with the next days run. We all need to be able to indulge every so often

You actually did really good with the adjustments you've already made! You knocked your calories in half...and lettuce wrapped chicken sandwiches are even better than ones on a bun imo! It's your bday lunch - enjoy whatever the heck you want!

I had similar results. For my weightless, I'd actually give diet 90% of the credit. It took me a while before I started really doing anything about exercise lol. I could control what I put in my mouth, no problem...it was the physical piece that took a lot more time for me to come around with. Plus, with most of the weight gone, exercising became a lot easier and it was more about toning than trying to shed pounds.

 

OMG...I hear you girl...I am back traveling and trying not to blow up like a balloon from all the sodium...

Tricks: skip the bun and have it wrapped in lettuce...you can also skip the beef and do a turkey or veggie burger with the same toppings as your favorite

I love red robin fries but I ask the waiter to just bring me 6 instead of a 1/2 plate of them...do a sparkling water with lots of lime instead of soda or lemonade

Happy Birthday:smt113

 

Didn't I just say this? Lol

 

31,647 posts seriously...I don't have enough time to read what you write...my time is precious to me

 

I said it right before you did? Is your eyesight going old lady? Lol

 

nope...just read bookies post and replied

 

you didn't wish her a happy birthday
you didn't suggest she have the waiter cut her fry order
you didn't suggest that she skip beef and do turkey or veggie

so NO you didn't just say what I said...damn dude get a life!

 

No reason to fight. Thanks to everyone who replied! And thanks for the early birthday wish.

That little exercise really opened my eyes to what I have to do in order to lose the weight I need to.

I appreciate all of the great advice!

 

Hold on I'm not alive? Whoa mind blown lol

 

Third match is starting. L8R everyone. Have a great weekend!

 

Kiiiiiiiings!!!!!! Never any doubt baby! All you west coast haters...act like you know!!!

All day, every day :smt023

 

There just seems to never be enough time in the day! Saying that though, I'm still in bed and it's 4pm. Work has been manic, which is brilliant, but it's sooo physically demanding and I'm just sooooo dog tired. 1 lazy day in bed ain't gonna hurt no one

 

May I join you? I know its not the same but I'm mentally drained and need to kick my heels up homie lol

 

It's a queen size though....

Can the king fit?
