Hmm.... Sauted / Sundried? Tomato??? What seasoning? Now I want breakfast

When you look for your BMR online (Basal Metabolic Rate), you will find for small people the number is quite low. The portions you are served are for a man. In the States, for an active football player. I used to think my Female co-workers were starving themselves. I was wrong. Trying to eat what your body only needs is a…

275 lbs ~ 1 year ago (~ 43 BMI) 215 lbs ~ Now-ish,?~41 y/o Loss 60 lbs - ish ~ (34 BMI). Deit, Daily Exercise and Lose Dose Metformin (off now) How do I lose the other 45 to 60 lbs with a jacked-up knee? Walking/ Stairs/ Incline is my thing. I walked from South Street Seaport to Main Street Flushing down 7 line in NYC in…

I can almost smell all these foods. Its nice to see that dieting for many does not mean complete austerity. Live well, eat well, know your limits. Be healthy. I say this as I dig into a very well seasoned steak and a half portion of arepa with queso, while sipping on some quality coffee. This thread is not for those still…

I noticed that calorie counting allows guilt free cheating. Its all math (MFP does it for you), timing and exercise/activity. As long as know your limits.

Give it enough time and enough loss.. people will comment... not nescessarily in positive way. Brace yourself. Thats when all the haters show their colors and you know who will always support you ... no matter what you look like.

Hospital Administration, are you in New York ... you look familiar.

You can do this !!! Good werk so far. Stay on the path. A year will fly by quick. Before you know it, you'll make this Calorie stuff second nature. You look great, give it time. Its easier for an objective observer to see it. Like the MFP crew

Back in Highschool my best female friend had SUGAR Packet lunches. Yes, ONE packet. And she was slim! If I only I was the person then that I am now, I could have done some good. But what the *kitten* did I know about life back then. My "no lunch" lunch wasnt better (no money).

Cholate Truffles... Sherries Berries

My Diarie is open. Though Im not the best example, but Im honest with my cheating...

A friend highly recommended this: Rene ROFE extreme push up bra.

As medical professional, I can tell you dont get hung up on "labels". Medicine is not politically correct, people will die. If you cant rely on your Doctor to tell you the truth thats malpractice. I was morbidly obese.. so what. I hit 275 (43 bmi) and couldnt breath well. I have other co-morbidities... hypertension,…

Yay - 60 lbs. I lost a elephant penis. What's misses elephant gonna say.

If you read back on this thread. You'll see that you're not the only one (Myself included). I feel like a teenager. Breaking out and all messed up mentally. Im usually a solid rock up to point of being a cold blooded reptile. Its a lot harder now to stay detached and reserved. People panic and I kept (past tense) my cool.…

The Big Rotten Apple, or at least in its shadow.

Missed opportunity. Say Yes and ask for donations for Doctors Bills (cruises, powertools or handbags, shoes).. :)

Since I lost weight Ive had these urges to Run!!! Like Forest Gump. It builds slowly then It gets unbearable, especially when Im forced to keep still or wait. Maybe Its todays coffee. It feels like being a racehorse at the starting gate waiting for starting gun to go off. (yes, i know this is a movie line). I want to run.…

Freaking Awesome!

To stay Active, I say alot of "Yes Honey, I'll do that... you get some rest", "Oh you need me to go up to the 9th floor, sure doc. I'll take the stairs, the elevator is slow.", "Yeah honey, you take the car. I'll walk. I don't mind." In need the steps (fitbit). :( & :p

I found eating every 3-4 hours (watch clock) at werk makes a big difference. Im more liberal with Carbs in AM (if your active at werk youll burn it) and skew to more and more protien with subsequent meals. 300 to 500 cal in 3 meals or 300 ish in 5 meals werks well (not that I dont eat the occassional 700, and cut back…

Its nice not feeling like your on the road of becoming a heart patient anymore. In other words, your leaving the road of health problems slowly behind. As an aside• The relationship to the scale... https://youtu.be/KhmVKnCr0TA https://youtu.be/pv9PhllelfA Its not official till you name the scale... I call mine "Pendejo"…

Starting Motivation: Sometimes you need something big and dramatic. My wife lost 100 lbs, I was at 275 lbs, Boss told me to loss weight, Legs started swelling, hit 4 BP meds total etc. I hit 40 y/o and Exerise tolerance & Shortness of breat become issue. MYFitnessPal showed me I was fat from my 1500 cal goal. So then I…

-I just ate 3 ribs and a chicken wing. Not satisfied &kinda hungry. The 3 cups of water helped with that full feeling. If you gonna pay for crime (cheating on diet) you should have enjoyed it. Now I'ld better work out to burn this off. Im about 500 cal over :(. It makes me want to swear off cheap junk food and fridge left…

Thank you all for this thread and all the contributors. Its a daily read. Allot of comments I would like multiple times if possible.

I hope you dont mind but I use this post to inspire my co-workers. You look Marvelous - Billy Crystal

That must have been Awesome. Very very jealous. Congrats

Lord.. I bet the guys wont stop hitting on you. I feel sorry for your significant other. Congrats. In terms of loose skin, my wife werks with a personal trainer for strenght training (after her weight loss- She used Boot Camp style Cardio Dance). The strengh training helped to a decent degree - still in progress. Im using…

Congrats. I bet you feel 100 x better, lighter on your feet and maybe your medicine cabinet is looking empty. Are you buying new clothes yet? Any suggestions on method (diet exercise specifics)? Help the rest of us :)
