  • i found obesetobeast on youtube- kid inspired me and i thought to give the app a try when he mentioned using it
  • buddy beside me on the bus this morning, chewing his gum like a cow. I even put my headphones in and had my ipod at roughly 70% volume and swear I still heard him.... I was miffed beyond reason
  • i work a desk job so my exercise levels are nearly 0. i've added walking for every break and i get off the bus a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way. once i get home i don't have much time to cook eat shower tidy a little and then it's bedtime (work 8.5hrs/day spend 3hrs on transit-1.5hrs each way...) i've gone…
  • i walk on -every- single.break. and i take any chance to do more walking. most day i get off the bus a few stops early to add in more walking. stairs. will lift heavy boxes of paper and such when i can. just use any and every chance you can to either stand instead of sit and move instead of sit. if you're on the phone try…
  • congrats on 60lbs , it is a great achievement!
  • i had a large drop in water weight the first week (7lbs, i was a walking water balloon!) after that its been a fairly steady 1-2lbs every week but sometimes it will hover at a weight and then drop by 4lbs after 2 weeks. it's weird. the smaller you are the longer it will take to see changes though,so don't fret too much,…
  • i'm happy with any loss but 1.5/week is what i set out for weigh in irregularly Original starting weight: 265lbs July SW: 240lbs (july1st 2017) July goal weight: 234 Ultimate goal weight: 140-160 07/01-240lbs post date 07/09- 238lb update 07/14 - 236lb update#2 07/22 232lb!~ Total loss for July:8lbs i might weight myself…
  • i started at 265 and set myself for 140-160 (140 on here) personally i just thought about what weight i could see on the scale and not be sad about. i'm not really focused on the end result though, i more or less set up milestones and aim for those one at a time~
  • i used them for a no carb low cal pizza crust- actually worked pretty well (helped feed my cheese craving without completely screwing up my calories!) , but as it's been said RINSE RINSE RINSE ! rinse them until you think you've rinsed it enough and then add another minute. i found the recipe on mfp actually link here…
  • personally i use the slowest/ least calorie adding when i calculate just to be safe
  • i leave it as is but i usually do let myself have a little treat during the first 48hours when it feels like a little trex is trying to free itself and i just want something to not suck for a moment....actually i think the only times i've gone over loss calories and closer to maintain cals have been at that time of the…
  • MFP tracks your macros (carbs protein fats) using the food diary. it will make it a lot easier for you. you'll be able to see if your carbs are too high or if you are falling short on your protein goal. still calorie tracking makes the biggest difference. i only really look at meeting protein and keeping fat/carbs under My…
  • I've just made it very clear that i`m trying to lose weight. i started at 265 though so it wasn't like it was a big thing. took a bit for them to stop asking if i wanted a coffee on the coffee run but i made a firm stand and explained why. i drink 1 coffee a day. or i didn't attend the bbq because the options weren't for…
  • my biggest frustration is that even though i have successfully lost 29lbs so far my size hasn't shrunk yet, i still for the most part fit my clothes and can't comfortably wear a size smaller yet :neutral: frustrating! overall i feel better and more energetic ,so that has been keeping me motivated
  • I started at 265 and i'm 5'5. i'm down to 237 now... still a long trek ahead of me! feel free to add me~
  • i'm look to lose 100-120 to start (started 265 looking to be in a 140-160 range) still have a bit to go so i'll gladly be there to help with motivation and substitutes and support :)
  • i've lost 28lbs and am just starting to notice that although my size 18 jeans are still TECHNICALLY wearable, the legs of them are getting baggy so i feel them flap when i'm walking (they used to be a good snug/confortable fit) and i do have to hike them up throughout the day a fair bit. i'm still not comfortable when i…
  • i'm happy with any loss but 1.5/week is what i set out for weigh in irregularly (2-3times a week i check ) Original starting weight: 265lbx July SW: 240lbs (july1st 2017) July goal weight: 234 Ultimate goal weight: 140-160 post date 07/09- 238lb Total loss for July:
  • the happiness you feel when your pants are now too baggy and you have to hike them up every few steps!
  • WOOO! congrats!
  • I'm 5'5 and started at 265- lost 27lbs in 3 months so roughly 2lbs a week. i bought a small scale for grams and yes the thing is a pain in the butt but it helps in counting calories properly i also try to not add my walks or only half of the time i do
  • cucumber. lots and lots of cucumber- very little calories and works wonders for a snack to just throw in my work bag or purse. i go through at least 3 a week and they aren't overly expensive either.
  • I'd say just have LESS carbs. i have a weekness for rice! I work it into my diet about once a week and still stay within my calorie goal, also i enjoy my tortilla's (small ones, only 100cals in 1) maybe twice a week. moderation and keeping the rest of your day in a way that keeps you at your calorie goal still lets you…
  • i carry baby carrots to nibble on and lifesmart apple sauce(only 50 calories in 1!) to just tug about with me to nibble on , or in the applesauce case- appease my sweet tooth without overdoing it. also have a stash of white cheddar rice cakes in my desk drawer at work (great for when craving something not so sweet) Snacks…
