I have to small kids myself and I know the struggles of losing weight! Not only do I struggle staying out of refrigerator and pantry I am steadily pulling my kids out of them to. Now is the best time to start developing better and healthier eating habits! Friends on here definitely help! I have enjoyed watching what few…

I tried logging crossfit exercises but it was to much trouble. Especially if you were doing a 20 min AMRAP of 4 different exercises for example. But if you do it you just have to create a lot of exercise. Like snatches, clean and jerk, pistols, and a lot of that other stuff wont be in there. I would use the number of…

No experience with the combination but I have took phentermine. It will definitely help you reach your goals because it will suppress your appetite. The negative for me was coming off the medicine and the appetite coming back! I gained half of what lost back in 3 months. All I wanted to do was eat. Good luck and be…

I went to a local weight loss center for about 6 months and the doctor prescribed a drug called adipex. It worked really well and I lost about 50 pounds and was never hungry! After reaching goal weight I quit taking it and my metabolism seemed to have quit working and I craved food soooo bad after coming off medicine. So…

That is a fact! Everyone should understand the importance of carbs! Low carb diets are very unhealthy!

I have always ate only the whites as well! But after seeing this thread and doing a little research looks like the yolk is not as bad as I thought. I will start eating some yolks!

June 1st broke any personal records yet on the mile times?

I think you should try weight training with higher reps and short rest periods between sets. Stay away from sugars and eat plenty of clean protein. Only reason I even commented is because I have seen a lot of women cut weight fast by diet and cardio alone but not get the physique their after because of not doing weight…

Totally understand got two kids myself and it is hard to eat clean when eating junk and fast food is so convenient. How did family handle getting rid of junk food and what is a stone? I have seen that a lot and assuming that is a different measurement for weight.

During your continued weight loss success I would try lotions for skin elasticity.

Love the posture comment! To many people walking around hunched over staring at the ground!

I only exercise in the mornings and I here this a lot from people that have changed schedules and complain about strength and energy in the morning. At 8 am even though you ate an hour earlier your body has not digested the food so your muscles glycogen levels are low. If your food had simple carbs that should have helped!…

Good luck! What is the plan to get there? Exercising yet or mainly diet right now. Good you and your wife are trying together!

I done crossfit at a local gym for 6 months and loved it! I gained a lot of strength and muscle and lost some fat! But honestly most fat loss credit comes from what you do or don't put in your mouth in my opinion! But I just was not man enough to keep it up. It involves a lot of shoulder and knee work! Every workout will…

Lying triceps extensions aka skull crushers by far the best in my opinion! Use a ez curl bar or Dumbbells. If you have lost weight fast you can also try a lotion that helps skin with skin elasticity. I cant remember the name of it but they have some that works really well in maternity stores! I have used it on my stomach…

Now that's motivation be healthy and be there for your family! I am doing the same thing but now have second kid that is almost three! I started at 238 went up to 330 and now at 275! Goal weight 245! I have always been thick so my goal and daily calories are realistic for my lifestyle!

I have a passion for lifting weights and I know how you feel about the cardio. I usually only run outside if I am with a friend or 5k. The treadmill will make you keep a certain speed and keep your stride consistent which helped me run longer distances. Hope is a great thing but remember you are in control! Remember that a…

Crossfit style workouts will sure get you in shape. I tried it for about 6 months then quit. I loved the Olympic style lifts but hated the high volume WODs. Box jumps, Burpees, and wall balls were the exercises that did it in for me. I have a ton of respect for the athletes that can do that kind of training consistently.…

How much time you got?

Have you started doing any exercising yet? A mile and a half in eleven minutes sounds pretty tough.

Hilarious! I went there last weekend and from now On I will check calories on MFP before I order! Shrimp and Chicken Carbonara 1400 calories!

Good Luck to you all! I have a very similar story. My weight has fluctuated a lot over the last 5 yrs. I am trying to get to a realistic goal weight of 245. Currently 275 and stuck there mainly because of lack of self control and will power on the weekends.

Noticed your post about the same time I introduced myself. What kind of goals are you aiming for? I am about the same weight as you but only trying to get to 250
