Good post. Thanks there is some good information and conversation. I've lost 40 pounds since Jan 1 2016 22 pounds the first two weeks but then I started reading up because of the headache and irritability. That led me to this website 35 days ago. it is a big help. I confess that I still push the envelope but I make sure to…

I'm new but doing pretty well and consistent. you can add me if you want, you will be welcome.

Obviously you've never met my nephew.........

I should have taken my clothes off BEFORE I got in here....

Where in the heck is my hose when I need it....

Yeah i'm 53 and just started doing anything exercise related in Jan. At first I went 1 min on my elliptical and was at 145 and really huffing and puffing... my friends told me to go to the doctor LOL... I didn't. I looked it up and found my age weight calculator (sorry don't remember where) and it recommended I be at 130 -…

OMG thanks for this! I also LOVE the humor of Scoobie!!

OK old geezer here 53 but I have tripled my exercise since i started on here and still have 94 pounds to go. Add me if you want to, glad to help any way possible.

True that, but do consider... here in Tenn area I'm in most people have guns, permits or not. Most of us are crazy, the ones who aren't know this. Therefore we have virtually no road rage incidents (always visiting out of towners) I cannot remember the last time someone rode my bumper. (in reality we pull over just to see…

Build a fire outside. Dig a hole in the ground. Throw a good amount of coals in the hole. Wrap sweet potato in tin foil... save some for your helmet to shield against alien mind control Cover with more coals. Put some dirt back on top. Go fish for an hour, take a hike or swim in the lake.... remove your tinfoil helmet…

In car - brake check and or let the pecker heads pass. On bike - Pull my 357 mag and wink at em. 357 works EVERY time.

Ummmm... still definitely people

People. Yup definitely people.

I have lost 32 pounds since jan 1 and still nobody seems to notice. LOL I told my friend that's how i know i was WAY to large... when you lose 30 pounds and nobody can tell!! LOL I think my age and the fact that it's cold and I'm wearing long johns layers and sweaters. Here's a funny for ya... I had a goatee and when i…

Apple green or red sweeter type best.... peel and core put in a microwave bowl (I cut my apple into 1/2 inch chunks) add 1/4 cup of water cover and microwave on high for 3 min... sprinkle with cinnamon to taste. Enjoy sweet healthy goodness...

possible difference could be the dosage level and actual causes. In my case they completely killed my thyroid or they told me 98% inactive. I think because the radiation treatment is not an exact science.. they had to do mine twice and it may recover a little as the years go by. My condition would require they stop it from…

EXCELLENT!!!!!

Well no but here is the funny part. I didn't stop fast food for the health of it. I stopped because I would rather go to the all you can eat buffet's and get all the crap i wanted for CHEAPER!! LOL. (That may very well be one of the reasons i'm on this site trying to lose 100 more pounds!) Fast food is a total ripoff and…

It will help you and follow your doctors recommended dosage. They will have to test you a few times to get it adjusted correctly and that is slow since it takes a few weeks to get the real accurate reading. Also I would advise you to get a second opinion if you can since doctors vary widely in their test and dosage. I have…

OOPs sorry for projecting the wrong perception of my personal intent. Like I said very low fat very high protein!! I simply understand my vegan friend much better now that i am looking at the calories and the nutrition of all foods. Also just a point for reference he was ordered by his doctor to change his diet or eat some…

New to all this but trying to learn and change my life. Started at 268 now at 240 but still a long way to 140. Being 53 I just need to change everything i was doing or not doing to live a longer and happier life. Got a lot to learn but I am going and the fact is that I am 100% in charge of me. Thanks if you decide to…

Dang!! Wish I hadn't read this... I don't know how i feel about it all since I just picked up 20 pounds of ground fresh venison at the processor station, and truthfully all i was thinking about as super low fat very high protein, and it is not fish for a change. Sorry not trying to offend just a Tennessee country boy…

I am adjusting my diet to fit the lifestyle that I want. I agree whole heartedly that to lose weight stay just under the calorie burn. I used to hate to drink water but after making myself drink it one day I realized that now I prefer it over all other drinks. Same way I'm approaching food it is just math not a diet…

Snow day today so I've been studying and think I have found something that helps. I read that you can wait for 30 minutes after you eat then do your exercise. So having much more time today I did that. I did first one early ate oatmeal and a banana water then waited for 30. Worked like a charm it was hard but not as much…
