I binged out on pizza during the hurricane... for three days. I've been working on getting my weight back down since then and today hit my new all time low. It took me 5 days to get back on track. Before - I would have used this excuse to continue binging, given up, and jumped off the bandwagon. I'm not doing that anymore.…

If you're willing to try Sardines again, try to find the tiny ones. Like 20-30 a pack. They're less fishy, melt in your mouth, and have a much better taste than the other larger fish in tins.

Mini Goal: 225lbs. It's twoish pounds off. I'm almost there. I won't ever admit to anyone in person, but I believe my highest weight was 250. I never weighed myself when I was that large, but I was already loosely watching my food intake for a couple of months before I was weighed at a doctor's visit and saw 242.6 on the…

* I've figured out what makes me happy when exercising. Music! I love keeping beat with my "running". * My heart rate is down from high 170's at a moderate pace on the elliptical to low 160's in just two weeks. * I walked around Walmart today briskly trying to find someone and wasn't winded at all by the end. Before I…

I am right in your ballpark. My spouse let me know the other week that he didn't find my body attractive anymore. I appreciate his honesty, it was the kick I needed to start taking my calorie counting seriously (and start going to the gym) He is 6'1" and 168lbs. He eats whatever he wants, up to and including a whole pizza…

My SO of 9 years said that he wasn't attracted to my body. I was starting to lose weight for myself anyway - but that was a huge kick in the *kitten* to get moving - no excuses. I'm losing weight, and it's not for him. It's for me, and it's for us. I want my SO to continue being attracted to me for a long time, I want that…

I'm a big fan of oysters. Clams, Oysters, and mussels are packed with Vitamin B12 - which if you're not eating meat a lot can drop to dangerous levels (which you want no part of, from first hand experience) Raw oysters are my favorite, but I understand that some people don't like them for their texture. Sardines are…

I started working out, and discovered that I actually like exercising. My 3rd day at the gym my legs were jelly, but I wasn't tired. I only stopped because I was worried my knees would give out underneath me. my 7th day at the gym my heart rate has slowed from upper 170's to the 150's at a moderate clip on the elliptical.…

They're saying that they were so hungry on 1200 cals a day that they were considering eating their cats. There are plenty of people who maintain a 1200 cal a day diet. I would say the hardest thing about a 1200 cal a day diet is that you need to get used to not being full, the portion sizes are a lot smaller, but I still…

I'm just starting my journey, 5'7" SW:240's CW:234.2 GW:132 - a little unmotivated because I started exercising and I gained a pound this week, instead of losing it. Been tracking for 4 weeks now, started tracking at 239.4lbs - lost 5lbs. I'm trying not to do things too quickly and minimize stress on myself - otherwise I…
