What kind of weight loss clinic? I have had great success with a hospital-based weight loss clinic. 60 pounds down since November, 13 left to a healthy weight. I am not taking any drugs of supplements, but the doctor, registered dietician, and behavioral psychologist there have been fantastically helpful and supportive. I…

This: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/05/skillet-flounder-with-tomatoes-425.html It's easy and amazing! You can use any white fish.

If you drink caffeinated beverages in the morning, decrease them. I found that when I went from two cups of coffee in the morning to one I was way less tired later in the day.

I started lifting heavy in December, and I am stuck pretty much exactly where your wife is on the lifts. I am at about 1000 calories a day deficit. My doctor pretty much said: choose. Performance, or faster weight loss. So, I do the best I can, lift three times a week, and am very pleased to have lost little lean body…

Those green candy covered coconut nests with four jelly beans in them at Easter. They disappeared, then the chocolate ones reappeared, but the green ones were the best. Haven't seen them in years.

For me, strength training has made a big difference. I'm 5'7" and 178. Last time I was at this weight (before pregnancy) I was a 14. As I've been losing weight, I've been lifting heavy, and at the exact same weight, I am a 10 or a 12, depending on brand.

To not be able to grab a fistful of fat at my waistline. I'm down from two fistfuls so far...

More protein in my diet.

I pronate, and have run in the Brooks GTS for, well, two decades. However, you need to get fitted at a running store, especially given that you have shin splint issues.

I grew up in NA. Try the trails around Weir hill as well - we used to train in there when I ran high school track.

100g per day of protein. Makes me less hungry, I crave sweets less, and getting to 100 crowds out other (poorer) food choices.

For the rest of today: I will pack my lunch and my daughter's lunch without snacking on what I'm packing. Or anything else I come across. Especially crackers. Yum, crackers...

That I am powerful, and capable of change, even in areas that I didn't think I could address. That small actions, day after day, create great change. 50+ pounds down and trucking on...

Last night, butter chicken (lightened up version, cooked from scratch in 30 minutes!), and roasted chard and onions with feta (sooooo good - the only way I can get greens other than spinach down). Plus rice for the rest of the family - I snacked too much to fit it in.

I am wearing a size 10 pair of pants at work today! Last time I wore size 10, I was in college (18 years ago...)

You are welcome to add me. I started off with 77 to lose and have 24 to go.

I'm 5'6", 180lbs. Last time I weighed 180 pounds (pre pregnancy), I wore a size 14 U.S. dress. I just pulled out my clothes from before I had my daughter, as I hit the same weight. They are all at least a size too big.

I weigh myself every day. I haven't actually found that TOM causes upward variation for me. Weird.

they are listed under strength, not cardio, with no associated calories burn.

I bought a pair of size 10 skinny jeans! I'm counting that as two NSVs: size 10! Skinny jeans! I haven't worn a size 10 since junior year of college (18 years ago...I'm getting old!).

5'6", 182. Feel free to add me!

I lost my daughter and one of her little friends. They are 2. 47 pounds.

1600 has worked really well for me, in conjunction with a 100g/day protein goal. I have lost 47 pounds since mid November. I don't eat any exercise calories (I know - this isn't how MFP is designed, but I am under the care of a bariatrician and a RD, and am following their instructions.) I generally exercise 5 days a week…

I'm 5'7", SW 233, CW 186, GW 156. I eat 1600 calories a day. You are welcome to add me!

Don't know if you definitely want oatmeal or a hot breakfast, but I really, really like the Whole Foods or Trader Joe's store brand high protein cereals. I think they taste much better than Kashi. They come in plain, berry & flax, and honey & almond. I add a cup of milk. I also have about 50g of mixed berries in them every…

I squatted and deadlifted the big girl plates today woo hoo!!

Don't sell yourself short - you can absolutely be as picky as you want, and look fantastic! If your pants fit the widest part of you (your hips?), and are loose in the waist, a tailor can quickly and easily fix it - the lady at my dry cleaner will do it for about $15. I wouldn't sew a piece of elastic in - the pants are…

Thank you - super helpful!

I'm 187, on 1600 a day, pretty active. It has worked for me since November (and I am still losing). I find it's really important for me to get a lot of protein (I aim for 100 grams), otherwise I get hungry. I do think my gym performance would be better with more calories, but right now I am prioritizing losing weight over…

12! 12!! 12!!! And they are getting loose - I could jump up and down around my office! Down from a 16W, 45 lbs on a 5'7" frame.
