we are the same height and have the same gw...160 is just a starting goal weight for me, I like you, have never been a healthy weight as an adult ( at least that's what I got from your post) I still have 35 lbs to go until I hit the 160 mark, but I will get there...started this round and 225 last summer, got down to 190…

1200 a day is not that drastic once you learn what to eat, and how much of it to eat. I am also on a 1200 a day diet per docs orders and you can really stay satisfied on that amount...but yes, a good majority of people do not count correctly, either because they guess portions or because they don't log everything.

1200 is what I do give or take and my blood work and everything has came back better. If that is what your doc orders I would go with it, eating the right foods you can stay satisfied. But, if u are uncomfortable with it start at 1400 and work your way down .

Stalking this page....I am 5'9 started this round at 230 got down to 190 back up to 213 now at 198..highest weight was 280 YEARS ago.. I would love to see 175 and go from there.

I eat an avocado with a little salt for lunch probably 4 times a week. It has to be that perfect squishyness or yeah it doesn't taste real good lol....but someone mentioned 1/2 a avocado with cottage cheese..THAT sounds amazing..would have to do for dinner though...we only get a 15 min break at work and I use that to smoke…

I bring an avocado and a little bowl of grapes or some type of fruit or a bit of cheese to work..avocados are filling...good fuel and keep you full...not to mention the most delicious food ever (in my opinion) :)

This sounds so off the wall...but YEARS ago a friend of my mom's who was in her 40's at the time used 2 cans of vegetables...one in each hand and as she watched tv or had her coffee she would hold one in each hand arms out to the side palms down and just lifted them from her side until they were straight out to the…

Boo for water intake today :(

I was also perscibed a bp machine for at home use due to it sometimes dropping...I track it and bring any odd results to the doctor when I go in for thyroid checks (or sooner if ever needed)

I often wonder what it would be if I was thin and a non smoker (if these things are proven to raise it)

My BP is always fairly low 102/60 not extremely bad (pretty good actually) low but not low enough to have any side effects. But had Dr apt for other reasons and it was 94/52 which is pretty low..I knew it would be because of getting dizzy easily...pretty much the way I roll...overweight smoker with GREAT BP

All very good suggestions...I always have water with me..just don't have time to drink alot of it...constantly (literally ) moving at work and every time I think to take a drink something happens on my machine and I forget...I did good today though managed to get 4 20oz bottles in.....

I did talk to my dr. And being dehydrated can lower your b/p as well...that and being dehydrated can make you dizzy alone

20 lbs by Nov 17 ..... pretty doable :)

My goal today is not food nor exercise related, but it does have to do with health I am going to sleep at least 7 hours today...I work over nights and I work A LOT...usually 28 days out of the month..and I average 4-5 hours a sleep a day usually in two blocks...2 hours in the am when I get off work and 3 at night before I…

Here in MN I believe the way it works is most with sugar (other than natural sugar) are taxed. Candy..douhnuts..chips..pop...and anything you buy preheated in the store...such as you go into a gas station and buy a breakfast sandwhich that is sitting in the warmer ready to grab and eat

41 in MN 3 kids...2 grandkids and 1 husband and a dog!

Can you please show me where I encouraged her to crash diet? Cuz I think you are mistaken..I said to do it healthy and shoot for 14 and if you don't reach it big deal ...um yup that's what I said...it's people who don't push themselves who don't succeed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with pushing yourself to reach a…

I believe if you are eating the right foods ...filled with good nutrition and vitamins and protein your body will be just fine for 6 weeks...you add in exercise and lots of water to stay hydrated and get pleanty of sleep that in 6 weeks time you are not going to deteriorate and shrivel up and die....14 lbs would put her at…

Maybe not...but she can shoot for that number and get as close as she can. And at 5'9 176 lbs she is 6 lbs away from the very high end of her bmi (I know this because I am 5'9 also...so 14 lbs is very doable with lots of healthy food...water and exercise...will it be hard and take dedication...u mmmmm yeah...but it doesn't…

14 lbs in 6 weeks is doable...that's just a little over 2 lbs a week..I am not surr why everyone is saying it's not doable..especially if you are only 22 and have no medical issues...Doesn't matter why you gained the weight (unless it was medical ) could of had a baby...a loss in the family that brought you down..the fact…

I have sort of the same issue. I lost 30 lbs last summer I still have a good 20 to go...I have to by smaller jeans than when I started..I don't think I loom fatter...but I think my body is softer...so I have a more pronounced roll around the top of my jeans because I lost more of my weight around my ribs and in my hips and…

Excellent job!
