Yep! Plan on bringing my own lunch. I don't think it's going to be a very big deal. I have been doing pretty good and have some lofty goals I plan on completing. There's things I want to do that I don't bother doing because of my weight. That's just silly. My bad choices on nutrition is causing my life to be limited. It's…

Nah. We are all pigs at the machine shop lol. I'm on my own but I'll be ok

Give us some stats. Before and after weights. How did you do it. Calories in per day. Height. everything. Pics are just a tease lol. Great job. you look amazing

Was very busy and didn't make dinner so I just had some humus and califlower. I didn't get in as many steps as I would have liked but I got plenty of exercise working and lifting block on my retaining…

Thanks and yes I'm in control this time, not my belly

Oh boy.... was told the company was buying pizza for lunch monday. There's usually a bunch too. It's my weakness and I'm already nervous. I can do this. I will not have any. It's not worth it right now. Maybe down the road but not right now. I'm doing really well and just don't need any distractions. Its a test I say. The…

I was just informed they are bringing in pizza to work for us at lunch Monday. Lord give me strength

I don't feel like I'm starving myself like I felt so…

Username: grebber1 Weigh-in Day: thursday Weigh-in Week: 1 Previous Weight: 385 pounds Current Weight: 379.8 Well I'll take a 5.2 pound loss any day. Actually thought it would be more but not gonna complain.

@tiabirdie56 that's exactly what I'm talkng about. I couldn't believe how many grams of carbs I was taking in. Sure I'm better off then I was when I was just eating everything in sight. This time around I'm trying to learn more about foods, Macros, the whole nine yards. I simply can't lose weight to the point I want to be…

@quiltingjaine thanks for your input. I'm currently looking into keto myself. I might give it a try pretty soon. I'm slowly transitioning that way starting today with what I already have around the house. Using mfp to keep track of my carbs and ive noticed I have been pretty high in that area. Working on evening carbs,…

Been reading all your posts. Wishfullthinning18... that supervisor is a real piece of work. And thanks to everyone who responded to my posts. Tomorrow is my weigh in but this morning I finally hit under 380 by a hair. Ate good yesterday and had a good workout unloading 40 75 lb retaining wall blocks off of a trailer. Then…

I had to unload 40 75 lb blocks for my retaining wall off a trailer yesterday and then went for a couple mile walk. I ate…

Thanks for all the tips. Leaving the frozen meal at home tomorrow. I usually have a salad with it at lunch but tomorow I'll just have the salad with a hard boiled egg and sliced grilled chicken.

You keep mentioning about lifting early. So is it bs that you can't build muscle and lose weight at the same time? Besides noob gains at the beginning. From someone who is morbidly obese all I hear is lose weight first then work on muscles. It's kinda disheartening

Paying more attention to the nutrition side this time. All other times I wanted a quick fix and practically starved myself. Well... that doesn't work for very long. I gave up on that fad. How ever long it takes, it takes. I would exercise so much on so little that I was always weak and nauseous. Going about it a different…

I was doing some research on keto and how it works. Then I started looking at my diet. I'm completely going in the wrong direction. When I started trying to change my life style a few weeks ago I thought I was doing a good thing by eating Lean Cuisine and other brands like that for lunch. The calories was great and to be…

Like I said before I was doing some research on keto and how it works. Then I started looking at my diet. I'm completely going in the wrong direction. When I started trying to change my life style a few weeks ago I thought I was doing a good thing by eating Lean Cuisine and other brands like that for lunch. The calories…

SW 386 GW 379 7/27 385.4 7/28 383.8 7/29. 382.0 7/30 382. 7/31 382. Very irritating I log. I'm under maintenance by a lot. I'm active, and I'm very fat. No reason I'm not dropping. It will come but dang. 8/1 8/2 8/3 8/4 8/5

Have to say I'm not mad. But I'm not happy either. Still at 382. I'm logging everything. I'm under maintenance and I'm active. It's not like I'm small and this is the norm. The pounds should be flying off. Ugh

@ahelgers10 I've been interested in learning more about keto. Seems people either love it or hate it. Gonna have to read up on it and see what it's all about.

I've been overweight my whole life as well. Always the biggest kid in school, always stuck out like a sore thumb everywhere i went. Mother's side of the family is big, at least her father and her. Bad eating habits and no self control led me to be at one point 420 pounds. Currently down to 382. Yoyo diets came and gone.…

Right now I'm calorie counting and much more walking and being more active in general. Soon I'll be starting a beach body program called turbo jam. I have a few laying around and this one is the easiest of them. I need to reclaim my workout room. That's an accomplishment all by itself

SW 386 GW 379 7/27 385.4 7/28 383.8 7/29. 382.0 7/30 382. No real weight loss this morning. The scale was teatering back and forth so I left my weight were is was yesterday. I ate petty well yesterday and was pretty active so I'm kind of surprised I didn't lose more than I did. But that's the problem with stepping on the…

@sara41164 butter nut squash makes freaking awesome mashed potato substitute. nuke it for a minute to soften it some then peel it. cube it out then boil. mash just like regular potato.

SW 386 GW 379 7/27 385.4 7/28 383.8 7/29. 382.0 7/30 7/31 8/1 8/2 8/3 8/4 8/5 Had a very active day yesterday and plan on the same today. I ate really well yesterday with the exception of dinner where I ate a footlong sweet onion chicken teriyaki on wheat with onion, lettuce, and spinach. I could have done just a 6 inch…

@sara41164 .. Man thats a tough one. I guess in a perfect world they would just eat what your eating and love it. I have kind of the same problem in my house where a certain someone is always thinking they know what i can and can't have. Self control around what your family really wants is a pita. I guess it's not fair to…

hey everyone hows it going? Weekends are usually rough for me but so far so good. I worked outside most of the day building a retaining wall and then went frisbee golfing so I got a lot of walking in. I guess the only bad part of the day was I ate a footlong sweet onion chicken teriyaki. on wheat with pepperjack onions…

I'm in a few other groups but why not 1 more. I started out at 405. 420 was the highest I've seen tho. Got tired of the way I look and feel about 2 weeks ago and today I'm sitting at 383.8 pounds. I've been a big person all my life, always been the tallest 6'3" in my class growing up and even tho i was overweight, I…
