Congrats on making positive changes to improve your health!
Food is food - no need to eat "breakfast" food in the morning. Any food that helps you achieve your weight loss goals can be eaten at the traditional breakfast time period. That said, no breakfast works too (you're simply fasting) providing you are getting adequate nutrition later in the day and that a morning fast does not lead to binging later in the day.
Best wishes for continued success!!Congrats on making positive changes to improve your health!

this is very true. bean and rice makes an awesome breakfast in particular, and is a breakfast staple in many parts of the world. It's also dirt dirt dirt cheap and easy to make ahead in bulk.0 -

reflect on the choices you made, and figure out now what you could have done better if you got a do-over. Because guess what, you do get a do-over. tomorrow and every day after.
I try to do this with every meal. Assess where I was good, where I could improve, and incorporate those changes next time.16 -

The idea that you must eat different things for each meal is largely a "western" mentality. A large part of the world's population eats the same starches and proteins(usually rice and a local bean) for every meal. with vegetables and meat as an occasional treat.3 -
So i now know to lay off bread (don't eat it much unless there us nothing else) its not worth the calories.11

I can't do most exercises because I have two herniated discs and degenerative disc disease so I am in pain if I stand up too long or sit too long. I joined a gym with a pool and swim about once a week, I also use the recumbent bike. I can't go fast but I figure every moment will help me reach my goals. Even if you cant join a gym, start by maybe walking to the end of your block and back. Do that for a week and then do it twice and so on and so on. Once you start losing the weight, you probably will feel better. And try cutting back on the good you eat. Slow and steady.
I know slow is key and setting a time limit is not good and im more then likely setting my self up to fail.
I know it my sound odd but i want to be able to start training for a spartan race next year if i can lose the weigt . i know its more then likely never going to happen but its a goal to try to work to all the same.
Two things about this concern me. First of all, you're setting a high goal with a time limit. If losing the weight took two years instead of one, how would that prevent you from training for your race? It'd just be a year later. Would it no longer be worth it?
Second, your statement "its more then likely never going to happen" smacks loudly of self-sabotage. If you honestly and truly think that goal is unreachable, pick a goal you feel more confident about. Don't give yourself excuses to quit.15 -

It's quite nice when you can identify higher calorie foods or drinks you're perfectly happy living without. I was like this with soda - I was drinking maybe 2 med to large fountain sodas a week, really just because they were convenient, not because I enjoyed them all that much. Now I make sure to have alternatives on hand, or just stick with water. Cutting down on calories doesn't always have to be a big struggle!To get a playlist set up to listen to on my walk.

I love the last two Run the Jewels albums as walking music. Also last year's A Tribe Called Quest release.0 -
Losing a lot weight in a short amount of time is definitely doable, plenty of examples of this on the internet. What is really MORE important is your ability to maintain the weight loss. If the means to which you lost the weight isn't sustainable during your weight loss and after, statistically speaking you are most likely going to gain the weight back and then some.1

Keep it going bjcrewe.
We've got your back.
I don't eat much bread, but I do still eat it. It's great for quick energy and it's cheap.
You still have almost a 1000 calories left for dinner. You're doing great. 6 -
You can do whatever you set your mind to do! I have about 100 more pounds ds to lose myself and I am 23 down. You have to remember that even though you want the weight off, it is also important to remain healthy in doing so. Maybe a low carb diet or keto would work wonderfully for you. Also consider cutting sugars out completely and no other beverages beside h20 and maybe a packet of crystal light when you are tired of it. All in all ik you can do it and excited to hear about your results!
