I have been offered that surgery in the past. I found a different Doctor. I know quite a few people who have had that surgery. They fall into two classes of those who are dead and those who wish they were. This may sound harsh but at almost 58 years old it has been my experience with those who have had it. I have failed…

At the risk of being inconvenient i would like to make an observation. I checked your diary all the way back to February. I could not find any entries and I know you have been in there because you adjusted the water intake on one day. I am not your judge and any advice given would have to be based on data of which you have…

MODERATION - steady deficit - consistent nutrition & time http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/arrghmatey1

If your not careful Metformin will put you into a cycle where you eat to support the medication. As you lose weight and do some exercise your A1C will improve but the Metformin will over compensate at that point and you will start having low blood sugar eating cues. Get some glucose tabs and keep them handy. If you answer…

Wellbutrin was offered to me by my doctor six months ago to help me loose weight and I weighed 317.6lbs. I took it for a week and got very little sleep. Felt like an impulsive squirrel... stopped taking it immediately. Six months later I weigh 252.4 lbs. Tightened up on logging and MADE time to meal prep. Sometimes the old…

Boneless Skinless Thighs RULE!

Belonging to MFP is a good start. Logging is everything! Seriously that 10 or 15 minutes a day is time invested in yourself and caring for your needs. It is you who has to do that. I had to go back to March 31st to find an entry in your diary. You seem like a nice lady and the logging I saw was showed a good grasp of…

Desperate people require desperate measures... I am trying something revolutionary! * Buy food scale * Log food intake accurately * Read up on nutrition and other important tips on MFP * Perform a small amount of moderate exercise * Enjoy my timely weight loss while retaining my muscle mass

Are the fats from the meat retained in the recipe? Cooking a burger weigh it cooked. Cooking chili weigh it raw.

317.6 lbs 12/24/2016 --> 251.6 6/23/17

Ummm Are you just trolling? I can guarantee that everybody here who spends the time to log and monitor their intake "loves" their body. People don't do things they "hate". The person here who is being offensive is you!

I LOVE the projections or the "daily lie" as I call them. Honestly couldn't live without them

I am a 57 year old male. I started at 317 pounds. In the first three weeks I lost 18.6 pounds with NO Exercise nor did I even start any exercise for the first 49 days or seven weeks. Average deficit was 892 calories. I didn't change to a more nutritious diet till much later on as my understanding of what I needed to eat to…

12/24/2016 - 317.6 lbs 2/15/2017 - 286.8 lbs 5/27/2017 - 258.8 lbs 6/3/2017 - 255 lbs Just shy of halfway ... 63 lbs down and 74.6 lbs to go to get to 180 lbs

I am 57 and I was your like your husband for a very long time and you will just have to wait till he makes up his mind. I agree with a previous poster you can warn him and do it in a non confrontational way but then let it go. As far as your concerned just carry on even to the point of cooking separate food. I hope now to…

I have lost 63 lbs in a 163 days using only CICO form of dieting. By CICO I mean detailed logging and specified reduction of the calories I have eaten. I have done limited exercise such as treadmill or walking and at no time did I eat back any of those calories projected for that activity. I keep detailed records and I…

Get a tube of Relion Glucose Tabs they are a dollar at Walmart. They will take you through and keep you active and won't bust up your diet to much at 15 calories a tab. One tab should carry you 3 or 4 hours and stop those hunger cues.

That seems a tad high for coffee. Maybe you should try Coffee Mate and one of the new zero calorie Stevia Blend sweeteners. that would bring a 16 oz cup down to 35 calories and it would be quite sweet. Personally I cant stand Half and Half or Cream anymore just leaves a bad after taste later in the morning

After 30 years of trying every diet known to man ( Gawd, I hate that I can say that! ;) ) I can tell you with reasonable assurance that all those commercial diets are good at is lightening your wallet. If you do manage somehow to lose weight it will be back because they are as a general rule not based on reality. Not only…

MMMMMMM Deep Fried Chalk - I'm in ....... ;)

I find drinking straight water to be something I cannot do. I start with the best intentions but with in a few days I end up not having enough hydration. Diet Cokes or Diet drinks leave me bloated from the carbonation and the caffeine will generate some hunger cravings or eating cues. Decaffeinated Diet Drinks do alleviate…

Present and accounted for Sir!

Fast Food is of the Devil .... All joking aside you aren't getting good nutrition and are eating a diet extremely high in fats and carbs. Your work outs are what is probably keeping you on an even keel and that is probably slightly uphill and with a few missed workouts you will gain weight. I know this will start a…

49 down since December 24th 2016 with 69 to go. My diary is open and good luck!

Two packages of Great Value Sugar Free Maple & Brown Sugar Qatmeal and coffee. Normally have a onion and cheese omelet with that using Great Value brand Egg Makers but I was rushed.

I started at 317 lbs 99 days ago now at 272 lbs (45 lbs) I din't even start exercising till day 49 then just 30 minutes on a treadmill daily if I can swing it. In the beginning you have a huge bonus working for you in that you are carrying around a hundred pound weight belt. Pay strict attention to logging your food and…
