I decided to come back so I can get back in control and exceed my initial goal. I used to log daily and stopped for a few months. I am looking for more friends who I can help keep motivated and look for motivation as well. Feel free to add me!

I am certain we would be fine. I have plenty guns to go around :)

I was eating TONS of chicken. Lean protein and well seasoned. My wife and I would find recipes online and try them. MY favs was lemon garlic chicken and a great marinara chicken. sometimes It would just be simply seasoned chicken. And the chicken was skinless and mostly breast.

I noticed that. My back muscles were getting sore. I now stick to larger quantities of lower calorie foods. I do eat some tasty foods but I now plan them to not completely derail progress. I feel great and I continue to lose weight.

That was the goal. Now it’s maintainence. You are correct. Under 6 is ideal. 6-7 is a manageable range and is pre diabetes but is acceptable. Above 7 is diabetic range and above 9 is dangerous.

The symptoms sucked. They have completely disappeared. I’m going to make sure I do what I need to do to not go back there.

I appreciate the proper suit etiquette in this thread.

Only positive encouragement here! Feel free to add me!

Use that military determination mindset. You will achieve. From one Charles to another!

You know what. That is exactly what I am doing. You read my mind. I set a new goal. Recalculated my calorie needs and brought out my determined mindset. Thanks for the advice!

My issue is the snowball effect. I let myself have something then I just go to town. I do great when I challenge myself because I am determined when I want to be.

Yes my coat sleeve looks too short but I assure it’s not haha.

I totally agree. Thank you for the tip! I really do appreciate it.

I am aware of that but my best progress was when I was following Paleo. I suppose it kept me away from the high carbs and sugar. Plus I tend to eat way too much when I really like something. Definitely a control issue.

I just love food too much. I love all the things I shouldn’t eat. However, it has been about 5 months without drinking soda so I’ll take that win any day!

Welcome to the MFP family

I would accept but I sent one to them anyway.

The advantage of working for a fitness company (Bowflex) is our employee Gym. It includes locker rooms and showers. Plus my desk is about 100ft from the entry of the gym so I may pop in there between projects for a little lifting and some cardio on lunch.

The one who would make you “disappear” if you double crossed her.

I preach like it's the gospel. If you don't like it don't listen. If I can be part of changing at least one person's life then it is worth it! So far my brother in law and his wife made the change to Paleo after asking me about my huge success. I will spread the word! CAN I GET AN AMEN!

The one who will pulverize those who pick on nerds.

haha it is somewhere in there.

One day I was trying a different method to cook steak. I put olive oil in my pan and let it heat up. I misunderstood "let the pan get hot" as "crank the stove to high." The oil started to smoke just as it should but then it hit the flash point and ignited. In a panic I grabbed the pan in an attempt to take it outside I…

Amen! I carry too. I never leave home without it!
