My personal experience is that it's like building a house. Excavation work comes first, then foundation, then the frame and so forth. My "excavation work" was being tired of being tired! The foundation was finding out what worked for me in food and exercise. Important thing to remember, if you have a bad day, its OK!! The…

Very well put. Too many variables to consider from person a to person B.

skin does taste good but losing weight "tastes" better!! My opinion is that the skinless thigh has enough healthy fat and plenty of taste w/o the damn skin.

And all the "just want it more than you want fatty foods" comments ring true. That's the reality of this whole weight loss thing. I wish I could tell you how to flip that switch, for most of us it's viewing a picture of us (we look different in a mirror) or trying to fit into some old piece of clothing. If you have been…

Having been down this exact road, I think you are actually craving, not addicted to, the taste of sodium/fat that is present in most fast foods. I could probably guess you aren't ordering the salads/wraps/grilled chx, etc. type of foods. You are probably going for the grease and salt. As far as the will power thing, your…

Good job!

You, more than most, are prepared and can do it! You know how to push your self physically and mentally! Good luck!!

First, you're 28 which means it will be easier for you to lose the weight. I was 345 last year, dude. You have to want to lose weight so bad that NOTHING will stop you from going to do your daily exercise. Not weather, not lack of time (you will find it), not even lack of motivation. That would probably mean walking,…

Ok, but why would I actually eat back the calories I have burned? http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ Autumn squirrel, it is a great tool for calorie intake levels, still finding out about it!

Sodium helps retain water. I would depend on what your eating also. Processed foods have a much higher sodium content.
-
Water does affect your blood sugars because you need it to metabolize your food.

Before I calculated with the Scooby's, I would always use the lower number , which was always the elliptical. I guess my question has more to do with how the terms "by" and "during" differ and why you wouldn't use both. Using the 10 cal/min rule (I have never been on the thing w/o being drenched in sweat at the end) would…

Omnitrition, Herbal Life, etc., are all SCAMS for people who want to lose weight without the hard work and discipline it takes to do so. I can say this because I fell into the trap as well. Notice with all these "diet miracles" that there is always a diet plan which restricts calorie intake? Burn more than you eat is the…

Keep it up. Don't quit and don't get discouraged if you have a bad food day. Log it all, EVERY BITE! Started at 340, am 284, will get to 220! you can too!!!

I am in the same boat. I started at 340 last november. By Jan. I was 300 but I was using the Omnitrition drops, which are a scam btw. I lost all that because they have you eating 500 calories a day. My brother showed me this app this Thanksgiving and I have lost 18 lbs. My tricks are exercise everyday, marking down a…
