I'm 6'1". 300 pounds to 144 pounds today or size 32 to size 6/8.

@McCloud33. You have lost muscle whilst you lost weight. We can see this in the first photo with the black jeans to the four photos in May. Genetically speaking, you carry fat in your midsection. Many of us have to deal with this. The issue I think is you went back to muscle training before you lost all the weight --…

Trainers say that many body builders have horrible cardio. I've lost 125 of my 137 pounds walking 9,600 miles. I found it easy to transition to the TRX system because my cardio and legs are strong. I would reconsider shunning cardio.

I just started so I am using the basic program provided with the equipment.

I went from a size 3x to small. I've donated tons of bags of clothes as I've lost 137 pounds over the last 4 years. This year I went from a size Large in early spring to a size small. I have many size medium shirts sitting in my closet barely worn. I've sold bras, dresses and coats though.

Thanks. I contacted support and they do support Taylor scales. It is a settings issue on the Taylor scale app.

This is a lifestyle change. I've dropped 137 pounds in 4.5 years. I want to drop the last 18 pounds to land near the low end of the healthy weight range. I would love to see them go tomorrow but it just takes time. While I tend to stay away from pasta, bread, pizza, desserts, etc, it is about the calories in - burnt…

I have both a Jawbone and a Fitbit Charge in my house. Hands down, I love the Charge. The Jawbone requires an app based situation where I can sync with my windows based computer. I do not have to switch between activity and sleep with the Charge as one has to do with the Jawbone. I can also see distance, steps. calories on…

What is your height, current weight and body fat %?

I would be more concerned why you ate knowing you would go over your calories and did not care. I am not judging you. It is just we can head backwards if we do not look at what got us to the need to lose in the first place. I went over 900 calories the other day because I did not realize my lack of exercise would drop my…

OM, you should try sugar free fudgesicles or Sobe water ice pops. Only 40 calories a pop. I've lost 136 pounds drinking diet soda.

The "bad" carbs are: bread, pasta, cookies, cakes, pastries, ice cream, carrots, etc. The "good" carbs are fruits and veggies. You can technically eat the "bad" carbs as long as you eat within your caloric goals. As far as exercise, you need to consult with your doctor especially that you were placed on a heart monitor.

Smoking weed is an avoidance tactic to mental pain like smoking or over eating. It is compensating for something. On a board where people have to deal with this head on, why would anyone expect anything but an anti stance???!!!

I've lost 135 pounds. I'm thrilled that I dumped my car three years ago for a healthier life style. I am happy that I climbed and rock climbed Mt. Kineo on the advanced trail or the many physical things I can now do. I am thrilled I can wear dri fit work out pants and jacket, bikinis and junior sizes dress. I am even more…

I went away for the day yesterday. The food choices in the area for dinner were fried foods, pizza, ice cream or salads with fried chicken. I walked 6.5 miles when I started to look for food. I refused to eat until I found a McDonalds where I purchased one grilled chicken ranch wrap. I've worked too hard so I do not desire…

I've had the Flex. I now own the Charge. My son has the Jawbone. I love my Fitbit. I do not have to do much other than sync and charge. I like that I can see how far I've gone and how many calories I've burnt on the device. I also do not need to do anything to track sleep. Fitbit's customer service has replaced my Fitbit…

I've walked over 9,500 miles in the last 4 years. I now walk 6-7 miles 5x's a week. I've just started running the last quarter or half mile of my walks. I have to walk two miles for my legs to loosen up otherwise it is like running with two legs of cement. The runs are becoming a bit easier so I will add a little distance…

What is your body fat %? What is your current height and weight? This site can give you calculations to help figure out how much body fat you want and the weight you should shoot for. As far as exercise, cardio and weights. You can not spot lose so you have to burn fat. The weights help ensure you do not lose muscle as you…

Thanks. I have already consulted the manual. I can not find an app to link from SmarTrack to MFP.

I've dropped 8 pounds in the last two weeks. I've changed from 2 pounds a week to 1 pound a week weight loss. I can not maintain the 1200 or 1500 calories with my level of activity. Do you log the activity with your children?

I eat an Egg Mcmuffin or hamburger once in a great while.

I've wanted to lose 18. I've lost 8 of the 18 in the last two weeks -- I joined the site two weeks ago. I hope to lose the last 10 within the next 120 days.

I've drank diet soda and I've lost 134 pounds. I drink much less these days though. I started at 300 pounds. I walked 9,511 miles without counting calories. I did not know this site existed. I would have lost all this weight in 2.5-3 years had I calorie counted. You have to do these two things. I dislike gyms and exercise…

I have a Fitbit synced with this site. I expect a bit of a lull or stall because: (1) I dropped a months worth of weight in two weeks and (2) I am on the last ten pounds. I am working on making better food choices which is helping a bit.

You have to rest your body. It needs time to repair and heal. I rest from Friday to Saturday night. I am refreshed t o go on Sunday.

I've never heard the term keeling legs. What does it mean?

:) Thanks everyone.

I've lost 134 pounds. I kept clothes until they literally draped on me to save money. Within the last six month, I've gone from XL to small in shirts, dropped three bra sizes and went from XL to medium in pants. When the midsection starts to reduce, you'll be glad that you did not have the expense now.

Does this apply to women as well?
