I am doing it the right way with all the things you mentioned :) Whenever I tried to do something extreme it lasted less than 24 hours lol. I haven't really changed any of the food I like to eat, other than eating a smaller portion and counting it. But I just decided to cut out chicken because it was the only type of…

Wow! how many calories were you eating in a day?

I currently weight 280lbs and have been sedentary for over 5 years. I want to work slowly towards running but just don't feel like I'm ready for it yet. I did however run a very short distance to catch my bus the other day and didn't feel as winded as I normally do (I've been doing other cardio daily)

@andycool22 yeah, reviving the DDR! I don't know what I'm going to do when my dance pad breaks. They don't really sell good ones anymore. Paranoia is hecka hard... I can only play on easy right now.

@hervatski unrelated, but...I like your profile notes lol

So sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine :'( He would be so proud of you and want you to be happy about yourself. Keep it up! Also, adorable dogs :)

Thanks! I am quite obsessive once I get into something. I'm determined to get to my goal weight this time after 17 years of being overweight, obese, and now morbidly obese :neutral: Also congrats on your success!

Saw this after my last post so you can ignore. Congrats on the progress so far!

Thanks for sharing! Per some of what the posters above are saying, just be careful with the amount you are eating. I've read that men should eat no less than 1500 cal a day and it looks like you are only eating about 1000 or so.

Are there any resources you'd recommend me to look into some beginner exercises for large muscles?

Thanks, I will look into those! I think Wii games are great if you are very out of shape and just starting to get back at it.

Same here! What are your favorite songs and what level do you play on? :P

Wow, that's impressive, congrats! Did you do anything in particular that helped you get there relatively quickly? I know, I have 140 to lose... and have only lost 10 so far lol

I workout at home. I only have a bench and weights. I'm not too educated on weight training and would like to get more ideas if you have any ideas for beginners! I also want to incorporate chest exercises but haven't begun any research on that yet.

Maybe it's an excuse but I feel like I am too heavy right now to just jump into running. If I do I probably won't go very far lol. I was able to do the elliptical for 10 min last week. I'm going to gradually increase the duration and frequency..but probably very slowly. I think I'll add squats and lunges too. Pushups...I…

Thanks for the replies! I used to be a hula hoop champ in grade school so I bought it to see if I could still do it. Turns out I can't because of all the weight gain. I'll try again when I lose more weight.

Thanks all for confirming! I know it was kind of a silly question but I wanted to make sure I wasn't overeating.

I usually use the barcode scanner to get the most accurate nutritional info for the exact product I'm eating. Usually when I do that it won't say if it's the dry or cooked weight. The box doesn't say dry or cooked either. Should I just assume that's the cooked weight so I don't risk over eating?

I've been bringing a smoothie, blueberries, clementines, apples.

Congrats! Also interested in what your exercise regimen is and how long you exercise a day. Also, do you ever eat back your exercise calories?

I thought it was just me. Mine worked yesterday but not today. Also it says i burned 1/4 of the calories I did yesterday and I have the same amount of steps..

I thought of this recently and haven't done it consistently, but... I'm female so I put on lipstick after I have a meal as extra incentive not to eat anything else until the next meal. As for liquids, use a straw to not mess up the lipstick.

Looking for friends! I love seeing other people's food diaries and exercise routines (it's so interesting to me). I'm 5'7" and currently around 280 lbs (lost 10 in the past 3 weeks). Still have about 140 lbs to lose to get to a "normal" weight. This is my second time on MFP but this time I'm serious about reaching my goal!…
