Wow 64lbs in 96 days, nice going. I've not been quite that successful but I have lost about the same amount over a longer period of time. (Although I've gained 15lbs back from getting complacent!) I also pretty much just stick to CICO. No sense over complicating in IMHO. I try to stay under 2000 calories a day with a lot…

I too am starting again. Lost around 70lbs, but got complacent in the last couple months and gained about 15 back :-( So i'm back at it to try and reverse course.

Wouldn't mind some friends... Been at this for a year and had lost 75 lbs. Unfortunately I had a bit of a setback and gained 10 back :neutral: Would be great to have some new buddies around my age (44) so we can help motivate and encourage each other.

43 here. 70lbs down, and would love to lose another 40 more to finally be at a healthy weight. The more I lose the harder it gets :neutral: Would love to make some new friends with guys my age or older.

I also have a fitbit Charge 2 and if I ate the amount of calories it recommends, i'd be gaining weight. I feel like the amount of calories it recommends are more than I was eating before I started my fitness journey! It's crazy. I can only totally ignore it.

I'm in the same boat sort of. I've been at this for 2 months and am down 19 lbs. I am not doing high carb, etc. I don't want to over think it. Just trying to keep my consumed calories below 1600 per day with 3 square meals a day and a lot of cardio 7 days a week. As for weight fluctuation, I make it a point to try not to…

I'm 43 and just had my first heart attack. So now I'm trying to make a radical lifestyle change. I'm currently at 301 trying to get down to 240. I know 240 is not an ideal weight, but its the goal I set for myself. If I hit 240, i'll see what happens. Been at this a week and 4lbs down so far. Anyway, not looking to lose…

Very good input guys, thanks! I'll probably do like a couple people mentioned and put a "junk food" entry in my log of about 15 calories or so since I probably don't consume any more than 15 calories of gum, coffiee, etc. Now I won't have to feel bad about not logging it. Great input thanks

Yes, I am totally motivated! Motivated by fear, but it's motivation nonetheless, so I'll take it. I guess when life gives you lemons, its time to make lemonade.

I am so new to this, I am not even sure I know what support I need. I've pretty much ignored my body/health my entire life. And now with this rude awakening, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with information. I guess my primary goal is to keep this from happening again, as I quite enjoy living :) For now I think my focus is…

Indeed! I am going to ease into it. I am actually pretty scared yet to do anything more than walking. Today was actually the first day that I took a short walk. I see my primary care doc tomorrow, and cardiologist a couple weeks later. I have so many questions for them.

Thanks for the kind replies and links. Yes, lots of reading to do. I will give it my best shot!
