I totally believe the CICO and I tend to eat light breakfast, light to midsize lunch and then I really eat a huge dinner, I love to eat a half a head of cauliflower or cabbage with chicken or turkey sausage. And 100% getting enough water.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps?app_category=fitness_apps there are these on the apps page here, hope that helps

LOL and it's to late to change it!!

always track it! bite it write it! but i try to avoid cheat meals because i've done well, they seem to happen to often then. i chose celebrations such as birthday or family reunion. I'm 483 days in and nearly 80 lbs lighter, so this is what has been working for me.

Had to look up conversion, I was 122 kg and am currently 86 kg. I was always in some kind of pain, foot, back, head, as soon as I woke up. Now it's AMAZING. unless it's an activity that causes soreness I am pretty much pain free! Just be the little train that could and start chugging along, I promise it's worth it!

CICIO but less packaged foods, junk so to speak. Fresh veggies, leaner meats, real farm eggs and personally trying to stay away from sweets they are a trigger food. I can eat them out at a restaurant because it's just one serving, but if I bring it to the house HA!! 1 becomes 2 becomes EAT ALL THE STUFFS!!!

Well crap, learn something new everyday, I wasn't thinking they were different just reading the article fast, thanks.

so I had to find the raw potato info and this "NOTE: Juicing potatoes As long as -the potato does not contain harmful doses of glycoalkaloids, juicing fresh, peeled potatoes removes most of the resistant starches and is considered safe, at least there are no studies showing otherwise. It is even claimed to be beneficial…

I'm afraid you are doing the "go all out, burn out" we tend to do this when we start a new program or plan, then it falls to the wayside when expectations can't be met. Take a deep breath, chill out for half a minute and don't try to fix it all in a day. Oh and i'm just shy of 500 days in, so i have plenty of "dang i'm…

I have the knee thing too, I used to have these fat rolls when I crossed my legs or sat with my legs bent, now it's just flat, I cannot remember not having those fat spots, so surreal!

Oh yeah this happened, some I think were like "oh heck no, they ain't getting smaller than me" and If that's how I motivated them that's great.

Great job!!!

Have you bought different clothes? I was guilty of just wearing the same things and they might be a bit baggy but they don't look much different, have some pictures taken of you and compare on an app, that helps.

@angfirst I have always gauged if i'm the largest in the room, or avoiding parking in a tight spot to avoid squeezing out of my vehicle, I wish I could see me through someone else's eyes. Someone who for years was smaller than me is now larger and that was WEIRD!!!

Hello there, 5'4" starting weight 270, at around 30 lbs people noticed and started commenting. I think it takes awhile because of the way I dressed, I didn't change what I was wearing because it still technically fit. Now at just shy of 80 gone, I get tons of comments. My poor dad was worried that I might need to stop,…

Mine is coworkers. Some have snide remarks like "oh, are you trying to lose weight" after I had lost considerable amount that was visible to everyone else. They also bring the constant pastries, home baked sweet breads and cookies, and FINALLY after a year and a half of saying "no thanks, I don't want to eat that"", they…

OH MAH GAWD this is like WOW! we always try to respect our health care professionals thinking they know more, i mean hey, they went to school forever for this, aren't they suppose to know more? OP I would wonder if your teeth were showing signs of wear that it was because of acid reflux? Mouth breathing? Teeth grinding?

I was morbidly obese. I didn't have high cholesterol, I wasn't pre diabetic, my blood work was great. No one was making fun of me or making me feel bad about myself. But I felt like crap day in and day out. I was in pain from being big. I am down 80 and full of life. I feel like FA is a load of crap being twisted. No we…

sliced apples with almond butter!!!

Maybe she's logging without checking the portions correctly, weighing food is really important if you can only have so few calories, there is no room for error. a scale that does grams as well as ounces is what i use all the time. Double check packages for portions, sometimes they can be complicated.

I generally eat a bar and coffee or yogurt. I like to eat small, small, BIG and snacks thrown in. The higher the fiber and protein in a bar the fuller I feel for longer.

http://www.runningintheusa.com/Race/Default.aspx I found this website and it updates quite frequently, so many different lengths and types of races.

Are you wearing compression shorts? they keep the insides tight and they are slick so no rub. Also instead of vaseline I'm thinking something from the athletic section with medicine to actually heal first.

That is an awesome NSV! I've done similar, i'm going to go eat X and barely go over calories for the day. My stomach cannot handle so much and to all those people that say it doesn't stretch or shrink I say HA. I would be miserable if I attempted to eat the amount of food I ate in the past. An entire large pizza!? gag me…

You look fabulous!!! Great job!!!

Mine seems to change, like just sitting here I can think of things that maybe I would indulge in if available but nothing is really standing out. In the past it has been Ice cream, I simply cannot keep it in the house because even though I log it, I log alot of it! Probably if you held a box of really fresh, warm eclairs…

Yes this one!! Happens all the time. They lean in like you are about to impart this awesome secret and then almost seem angry that you won't tell them your "secret".

I'm following your result, my band broke and I stuck it in my bra. I have a misfit and on the app I put that I wear it on my chest. I have compared it to the fitness app on my phone for a couple of walks and they were no more than a couple of steps off, the tracker in bra the phone in hand.

Yay!!!!
