As for suppliments: No weight loss suppliments are worth the money. They either don't work, or they don't work very well, and both of those cases are money better spent on time at the gym, or on healthy food, or both. What works for me: Focus on easy-to-count meals, so think "a couple full meals". SKip the snacking…

Age is a given above, either a personal trainer or something labor, either a confirmed bachelor or already married (5+ years).

She "could do better".

It's a budget thing for me. I budget XYZ calories for the day. If I eat too much, I "owe". If I'm "uderbudget", I get to eat more. I track as precisely as I can for any given situation, and err on the side of "this cost more", because more work hurts less than too much food.

Anything loud and angry and fast. FFDD, early Clutch, Body Count. I usually just let youtube's autoplay go from there.

I give up meat for Lent. Otherwise, I live on meat, cheese, coffee and beer.

Thanks! 1200cal a day (plus eating back my exercise calories), plus around five to ten miles a day walking with weight. 165 was also more or less my goal weight for when I was wanting to stop losing weight and start trying to gain back muscle.

FINAL UPDATE: SW 179 GW 165 FINAL WEIGHT 165.8 Alllllmost made it to my goal. Still made more than the challenge goal of 10lbs lost though!

UPDATE: SW: 179 CW 165.8 GW 165 Almost there!

I love every significant change and weigh daily. Sigificant as in "I lost weight, or gained weight, both in the morning and in the evening". This helps filter out some of the noise while still giving me good metrics for both actual weight loss AND something I can compare against what I ate the past couple days prior and my…

Either a protein shake, or straight from a bottle of Jameson.

^ This.

Water is water. Unless it's coffee. Usually, for me, it's coffee. I've probably added two pounds to my weight in just absorbed lead and cadmium, still don't care.
-
Best of luck to you. I've lost almost a hundred pounds from 2012 to now. Sending a request.

Anything with "cleanse" in the name is a waste of time. They don't do what they claim to (if you had "toxins" you'd need /dialysis/), and they make you miserable because it's a tight diet of all sugar, so you're going to feel hungry more often.

Update: SW: 179 CW: 172 Goal: 165 Down 7lbs!
-
I shoot for an hour a day normally, so perhaps I'll add another 30? And try for 90min a day?
-
Home workouts with no equipment absolutely work, although I fid myself getting bored of them if I'm doing the same thing every couple days (which is why I now have equipment!). That said: Walk. Or if you don't have time for walking, cut it in half with jogging. Pushups. Decline pushups are fun too, when you can do them!…

Weight loss is not linear and varies based on everything under the sun. I weigh myself daily, but I only /record/ every couple days or so, once or twice a week at most. Everything from when you ate (big meal before bed = still have weight from stomach contents when you weigh in the morning) to how much water you're…

Sent you an add. More interactive friends would definitely help me reach my goals Height: 5'8 SW: 178 CW: 174 GW: 165 (or ~14-17% bodyfat, whichever's first) I run nearly every day, walk every day, and lift at least three times a week.
-
^^^^^ THIS With the inverse being true too, if I eat too much (which is easy to do considering the deficit I'm running right now), I work the excess off every night. As far as macros, if I hit any one of them I probably hit all of them pretty well, given my choices of food.

Never too late.

Checking in Current wt - 174.8 Goal wt - 165 I'm down to 1200 calories (or the adjusted equivalent according to mfp). Working out every day when I get off work, clocking at least a mile on the treadmill and walking to and from work.
-
MFP gives me 1490 per day to lose 2lbs a week. I usually eat much more, but that's because of working out at least once a week, often twice, plus walking to work. On days when I'm off, like today, I usually end up eating a lot less, somewhere around 1000.
-
You most certainly can. IF you want to, and IF you put in the effort. Only you can help with the wanting to, but the putting in the effort is the easier of the two. If you work second or third shift (I typically work second), try this: When you get off work, eat a (light!) dinner. In an hour or so after dinner, and set a…

Hi, I'm Paul. Currently 179, trying to get down to about 160. I previously went from 225 to 130, but that was over the course of six months of hard backpacking. Ever since then I've been watching the scale tick upwards, and I'm finally doing something about it. I work out at home too, so hopefully we can motivate eachother…

Happy belated birthday! Current Weight: 179 Challenge Weight: 169 (aw hell, call it 165).

Cutting out snacking is hard, but maybe what helps for me will help for you: My roommates and I are all big foodies, and one of us is /always/ cooking, and I also work with food all day so the temptation to snack is intense. It's extremely hard to not overeat, so I budget time about an hour or so after dinner. Half an hour…
