But I know there are a number of them.","subreddit_name":"loseit","author":"HotelAmbush"},{"body":"Like the other dude said, you download Myfitnesspal and get yourself a [food scale](https://www.amazon.com/GreaterGoods-Digital-Kitchen-Multifunction-Measures/dp/B01JTDG084). Getting obese happens because of a choice in lifestyle. Losing weight when you've got a lot to lose happens fast and isn't all that hard. When you get into the lower \"normal\" BMI and keeping weight off requires a change in lifestyle. You need to weigh out portions. You'll find out really fast that your bowl of cereal isn't the 120 calories it says in the box, because you have 3 servings in there so it's 360 calories, and you don't put one serving of milk in there, you put 3, etc. Shit just adds up. \r\n\r\nYou're probably fine to target like 1800 calories/day, if you're really short, maybe fewer. If buying food and weighing it is really killing you, go to the frozen food section and get a bunch of lean cuisine boxes, or something similar. They're about 300 calories a piece, so you can eat like 6 a day. That's not really sustainable for price, but it might get you started. The first week or so is the worst. Just get a plan for 10 days and really try to stick with it, if you get that far, you're doing well. \r\n\r\nI was at MEPS and these two marine recruits were getting chewed out for not losing weight. Practically everyone during the movement tests was obese and a few guys had to get taped. Show your commitment to this process by getting fit.","subreddit_name":"AirForceRecruits","author":"user_1729"},{"body":"You're welcome.

One of her desserts is a tres leches, it's fucking delicious.   I was over at her place one day so that she could teach me how to make this Croatian stuffed cabbage that I'd heard about, and she decided to make the tres leches.\r\n\r\nI was excited, because I was totally going to get that recipe and work on outgrowing my couch.  I pulled out my little notepad and started writing.\r\n\r\nShe just threw shit in a bowl.  She used an orange juice glass as a measuring cup for her dry ingredients.  She didn't know the volume of the orange juice glass.  Nothing was sifted and leveled, let alone weighed.  Instead of measuring spoons, she used a regular old coffee spoon?  Dunno.  She mixed it all up, dumped it in a pan, and threw it in the oven.\r\n\r\nI gave up on my notes.  There is no way this is going to work.  She's fucking with me.  *Baking is science.*\r\n\r\nA while later - I don't know how long, because there was no timer involved - a perfectly formed, delicious cake came out of the oven.  It was the most goddamn ridiculous thing I've ever seen.\r\n\r\nHaving said all that, I weigh my ingredients when I'm baking.  I haven't been making the same cake seven times a week for 20 years, and I'm just not that good.  What I stopped doing after that day, however, is sweating the grams.  It's not that big of a deal.\r\n\r\nIf you're in the market for a scale, I have [this one](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JTDG084) and like it mostly.  I wish it had a real tare button, because the \"power/tare\" button just operates as a \"Oh, you want to tare? Let's just turn it off and back on.\"  I'll eventually get sufficiently annoyed by this and go spend $30 at the restaurant equipment store on a better one, but it's fine for now.\r\n\r\nI have /u/Haunting_Currency_20's bread proofing in my refrigerator right now.  I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out tomorrow.","subreddit_name":"KitchenConfidential","author":"i_get_that_a_lot"},{"body":"I asked for one for Christmas. Family got me 3 different models.
