YES YES YES. I'm down 110 so far, and while I enjoy all the compliments and new found attention.. I know I have a way to go to get to my goal like you and know that the last bit of weight might post the greatest struggle to get rid of. Knowing and facing that I think is the biggest battle, because I know what I did to get…

Hairless, easy to see body definition - but not Mr Universe grossly overblown. Funny, smart and quick witted, metrosexually well groomed, colorfully dressed and smelling good. Oh, and not too short. heh

Make a cup of chicken or veggie broth and then hit the rack.

Pic is only partially representative, but nice.

Is it elicit to solicit?

AMEN

Dont beat yourself up, that wont serve to benefit you at all. Walk, walk walk. You'll hurt for a few days, get past it by knowing your just sore, not injured. If you have the patience, weigh everything and count every gram.. of every bite. Lots of water to keep hydrated and keep your brain awake.. you got this !

I have so much crap to do today. ug !

Don't be scared or hard on yourself, be excited that your eyes are open and your seeing what fuels you in a new light :) good luck !

I've lost 110 eating nearly 1800 cals a day in 18 months, and just started walking for exercise 3 months ago. This 'diet' that was suggested don't sound very healthy.

Good news is, losing weight definitely helps the numbers :) I've dropped 110 so far, 50ish to go. Blood Pressure was 150 over 90 to100 and is now 120 over 70 to 80... my cholo #'s were Tri -200 LDL-276 HDL-13 and now I just got my latest results back yesterday and they are Tri-98 LDL-112 and HDL-35. It was interesting for…

Does anyone imagine that tonybalony01 actually looks like his avatar?.

Short and sweet? Get rid of the 'about' and remove the mystery :) Good luck

I get the caffeine part, but different doctors for all 4 pregnancies said the same thing. meh. Oh, and Study? I ain't got no study. I'm just bringing the message :blush: I'm no expert, I just play one on tv.

TY TY TY strong_curves ! This was absolutely enlightening. I knew, but didn't' want to put any 'weight' to it lol. Recently bought a digital scale, wow have I been over estimating. Good luck to you ~

Ive just passed 100+ lost using lower calories, and walking. Walking is primo and only hurts the joints at the end of the day... but it's a good hurt. Hard to explain. Good luck in your journey !! Starting at 2 pounds a week is fine as long as you're not chewing at your fingers :)

When my wife was pregnant, each time the Doctor said NO DIET SODA. Apparently the sweeter and caffeine set off a small bomb and you immediately feel euphoria as your brain cells explode. Me? I'm getting old, I need every one of mine... so water and plain black coffee, or just a little milk in it. Sometimes black or fruity…

How about my Mother in law.. You have a big heart... Sure. Bite me. She made the Father in law replace their rear deck, so that we 'can both stand on it at the same time'.. She means well. sure. Went there last weekend, she said wow, you can fit thru the garage door so easy now. REALLY ! uggggg. Not like that... not .…

Maintenance is a scary thought. Good luck :)

Take 30 bucks a month gym money (ymmv) and sock it away, at the end of the year go buy smaller clothes and be happy like me :) No gym for me.

Mine have calories listed, scan the barcodes. I take 1 of each a day and it's about 10 cals. Not really worth listing for the cals, but I bring my diary reports printed to the Dr when I go for full disclosure. Kirkland Signature - Calcium Citrate, Vitamin D, Magnesium & Zinc, 1 tablets 0 Osteo Bi-Flex - Glucasamine…

It's true, but just to state the obvious we all have the same 24 hours a day :) Use your 6-8 time to prepare meals in advance, and you may need to go to 9 but just do it. Think of where you'll be in a year from now if you start today ! Good luck in your journey ! Once small step or change at a time, it really adds up fast…

Good catch, mine changes down by about 200 if I switch to female.. but I verified it was set to male. TY ;)

I left it at 2 per week. Maybe since the last time I was ever in there I weighed a ton more..?

105 lost in 13 months, but the first 3 or 4 months I barely lost any since I was only sneaking up on eating healthy. I just have a lot of jiggly belly fat I'm working to get rid of, and want a few more inches off everywhere else. So, not done but it's all good. :) Happy days are here

I see now that it starts me out with a greater deficit, expecting that higher activity. That's actually good for me, it makes me want to more quickly 'make up' those calories earlier in my day. Thanks all

I would have typed this. :)

Ah ok. I'll see - I do have neg enabled so I guess I'll see in the AM. Thanks all :)

Although I didnt see it change my 'base' by going to lightly active.

Ah, so thats what I figured it compensates by making me get more cals burned to get more added. I like it. And yep, fitbit is calculating for me. I'm in deficit every day, but have gone over my base a few times using that cushion. Thanks
