  • I bought a tape measure today. I didn't buy a scale because it was expensive and I didn't like it that much. I can order one on Amazon. I just need to wait to see if we have some new information this coming week before I order it to be shipped here.

  • Some great advice here. If you do eat tuna more than 2-3 times a week, you should be careful of mercury overload. You can be tested for it, but the advice to vary and this were both good.

  • Good for you to try something new. We all need to expand our own horizons from time to time. I have recently (before joining here) tried to avoid hormones and GMO in my diet for the sake that it may be affecting my hormones and ability to lose weight. I'm not a big eater anyhow. I am eating a lot more vegetables like you…

  • I have bought from Wal-Mart for shorts and t-shirts either in men's or ladies. I also have purchased a couple of t-shirts from Amazon because I get free shipping and really liked them. They were actually cheaper than Wal-Mart. One was one of the special kind that are made for sweat. Both were much lighter than the ones I…

  • At my old job I was too tired to keep up the exercise routine or get to the gym and it was a snowball effect. We did have a Nintendo Wii and I started doing WiiFit. If you have some sort of game system that can double as an exercise tool it might be a fun way to involve the whole family. Pit yourself against each other to…

  • The one thing that I don't think has been mentioned here (unless I missed it) is that while muscle does weigh more than fat, the more muscle you have the more fat it will burn with metabolism. It is important to have enough protein and water even 24 hours after using weights for your muscles to repair themselves. That's…
    in Cardio vs lifting while trying to lose weight Comment by jollyjeepers July 2016
  • I also have trouble eating enough. I have never been a big eater. I am working away from home right now and have been since November. I don't have the added calories of someone cooking for me at home or fast food which is a good thing. But most people when they see me eat say they don't know why I am so big and eat so…
    in force yourself to eat if not hungry to meet caloric goal? Comment by jollyjeepers July 2016
  • I try not to focus on a certain amount to lose as anything is good. I find that putting a number for me does more harm than good. I weight 313 and am 5'6". Needless to say I have a lot that I need to lose. If I can get in the habit of checking in here, I think the motivation from everyone will be a huge help. I'm happy to…

  • Thank you. I agree with you. I don't want to be old and feeble. I don't want to not be independent and strong.
