Four years, 165 pounds shed. Went from 4xl tee shirts to large B) last week. I still start by grabbing 2xl then put them back and grab xls...then put them back on the shelf and try on large...and what do you know...they fit! Mind is still catching up with reality. New clothes, new activities, new photos. It is a slow…

Here is an interesting article...has an inflammatory title (pun intended) but it makes some excellent points. http://www.nextavenue.org/book-exposes-crooked-back-pain-industry/

Nerve pain is insidious....permeates every moment of your day. I finally broke down and had back surgery. It helped some, but suffered other side effects from the surgery. No easy answers. Would recommend doing everything you can with physical therapy, medical massage, yoga and weight loss. Good luck.

6'-2" 57 year old male. My first goal was rather innocent: just stop gaining weight after my back surgery. I slowly did that for 6 to 7 months. Then I started logging to see just how much food I was eating at 360 pounds. Yikes...a lot of 6000 calorie days, sometimes more....much more. So I set a goal of 2500 calories…

Good job on the BP. I have been eating a vegan leaning diet for three years and it has definitely helped. I am in no way a vegan but vegan recipes are low calorie "supplements" that I work into my weekly routine. Anything I can do to bulk up my meals with low calorie choices is a win....when I don't feel hungry all my…

Really got tired of the fluctuations if I weighed myself too often. I now weigh and log myself on the 1st and the 15th of the month. Much less drama.

Yes, I had a setback too. After three years of logging and hitting my goal weight (lost 164 lbs) I stopped logging October 1st to December 31st last year. Wow....I gained 14 pounds eyeballing my portions. Needless to say January 1st weigh in was a shocker. So back to weighing and measuring and logging....I am now convinced…

On an 1800 calorie plan I try to keep my protein at 100g and let the carbs and fat fall where they may. Works for me...164 pounds off and 10 to go.....sooooooo sloooooow now. Feels more like maintenance.

I've had 7 pound swings in 14 days while eating the same deficit. It is frustrating to watch but long term it is just my pattern. I am down 163 pounds in 3 years with 12 to go. 7 pounds up with 12 to go is a killer to deal with mentally, but in 2 weeks I can be back to neutral. Have to be patient with yourself and look for…

Got really tired of seeing all the fluctuations. Now I weigh myself on the first of the month and log that number. No more second guessing and mid-week corrections. Measure, log, exercise. CICO. B)
