    My biggest problem is that when i stumble, i stay there and dont get back up....if i cheat, i lose all motivation the next day and continue my downward spiral......


    When you stumble...get the F@#$ back up and make your Dad proud!!!! Be STRONG!!

    sorry for your loss

    I am the same age as your late father [I am 70 in April], best of wishes in your endevours

    One bit of "fatherly" advice, 5' 8 & 190 pounds for your goal is still overweight, I am two inches taller than you, & currently weigh 179 pounds, and am classified obese

    I suggest, politely,that you review you eventual goal weight

    may need a new BMI calculator - 5'10/179 is not obese, I can't do the math off the top of my head but I think its probably at the upper end of normal or possibly 26 or so - its definitely not above 30

    You are right & I am wrong. I used MFP, made an error and was wrong.

    My BMI is 25.8, which is "overweight", normal for me is 25 BMI, 174 lbs or less, my politely intended comment about 190 at 5' 8 still stands

    oh for sure, it was a very very valid point - sorry I didn't mean to come off like I was criticizing

    Erik,

    My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your father. You are on a path not only to honor him, but to a healthier life as well. You will leave a legacy for your own children. Blessings on your journey home.

    Feel free to friend me, I too need a support system.

    Best regards, LouAnn
