This has turned now into your thread, so please take over and manipulate it into the direction of your liking. I did not mean to offend anybody. I wrongfully assumed that people here would be open-minded. You show clearly that this is not the case. I wish you and all your bodybuilding hard working friend all the best -may…

There are numerous studies out there. Search it, and you will find them yourself. To be honest, there are more than I could list here. The proprotein studies are often paid studies and ads from companies who try to sell their products or their diets. We all have the research at our fingertips. I want to lose weight and…

A Nutritionist of course, or any other expert here on the board. A doctor, a biochemist who specializes in the effect of nutrition on long-term health. Someone who knows more than we do. There are people out there who eat cotton balls and guess what, they lose weight. That doesn't make it right, neither is it healthy. Are…

I know what you mean. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the amount of calories I had eaten the day I signed up here. How to break the pattern? I don't know. I guess we CAN if we WANT to. I got a new winter jacket, it arrived the day I signed up here. A size 3 X. I had ordered it a size bigger to have room for heavy…

Thank you all for answering. I am so glad. I like the number at the end of the day. It's a motivation to stay on track and if I can, let me proof your wrong. I can do better.

There is a lot of myth and a lot of truth to Apple Cider Vinegar. There is the right and the wrong kind of Apple Cider Vinegar. The "good" one, the organic one contains "The Mother." (The “mother” is a colony of beneficial bacteria, similar to a Kombucha). I use it because I have a disease with chronic pain and…

Tadah I knew I wasn't the only one. I am happy now. :-)

I thought MFP was a trending weight application?

I love your attitude. Yes, you can and so can I.

Down 3 lbs.

I think we don't succeed when we starve ourselves. I hit rock bottom when I was 9 pounds away from weighing 300 lbs. I stood there, looked at the scale and wondered how it all happened. I am an overeater, I was on medications like steroids that made me gain weight, I hit menopause. All of it is fine, but it was me who let…

Weigh in tomorrow, but I peeked already. :-)

I love all the advice you have given me. The word diet gets me into a panic mode, I decided against it. I am not on a diet. I will cook normal, and I will eat normal. Carbs, fiber, protein, fat and a bit sugar. If I want to have a beer in the evening, then I have to cut the food calories. It's not rocket science when you…

I stepped on the scale today and I wasn't scared, I smiled. It's going to be a long rocky road it will take time. Lots of unthinking on my part. I appreciate all your friend requests. It's more fun in a group.

I dislike questions like that. It makes men sound like superficial morons - and most of them are not. Love comes in all forms and sizes and hits unexpectedly and that's a good thing. I am happily married since 33 years (to the same man) and we went through thick and thin effortless.

Today is real, I am here and I feel motivated. All the food temptations are gone, what's left is healthy. Thank you all for the inspiring comments. Happy and Healthy Holidays everyone.

You just got under my skin and I am glad you did. I battle chronic pain myself and it was a good excuse to get lazy. You are right. I will hurt no matter what, I might as well hurt while exercising. I will curse you for this comment, in a very loving way. I needed to hear that! Thank you!

I started today signing up here and I cleaned the house of food temptations. I would love to join the club. I want to be held accountable. I got myself into this mess and know I dig myself out -that's the plan. I would love to join this group, please. Start weight 291 lbs today!

This is my first day as well. Half a day, since I signed up here around lunch time. I cleaned out the fridge and the pantry, got rid of all the candy bars in my desk. You are a day ahead of me, but not for long. Nice to meet you!

I just signed up here today and introduced myself. I am friendless so far, feel a bit like a lost puppy. All these posts here made me feel good. If you guys could do it, so can I. I more have more to lose, but so what? Thank you for the encouragement.
