Welcome! If you're here, then you're already motivated.. so just remember that the whole process is not a race! Weight loss takes times! Small changes that you can integrate into your daily life will help so much more than big changes based on deprivation that you can "tolerate" for a period of time. The latter is what a…

Welcome! Congrats on getting started, and believe me that’s the first step and it’s the hardest. The worst news I have for you if if you’re looking to lose 100+ pounds... you can’t. The best news I have for you is that, you don’t have to. All you have to do is start to eat better and maybe move around a bit for the next 24…

Hey John, welcome! I weighed 400 pounds at age 51 two years ago... today I’m down just about to 250 (need 2 more pounds to get there). Nothing more than food tracking, sensible choices and doing whatever physical activity I was comfortable with at my size, and increasing it as I lost weight. Just take things a day at a…

I’m just about to hit 150 lbs lost. Started at 400 two years ago and am at 253 as of today. Never thought I’d lose this much and now I don’t see any reason why I won’t keep losing! The thing is? Don’t worry about “losing 100 pounds”... the truth is, you can’t. All YOU can do is handle your 24 hours of eating right and…

Unfortunately, all weight lost through deprivation is temporary... because once we stop depriving ourselves of whatever that is, that weight comes back (that's the very definition of a "yo-yo"). And so while…

Down from 400 to 257 in two years, and still going strong. No rush, but hope to drop at least another 30 and see what that looks like. All this starting at the age of 51 by the way, so it's never too late.

Walking is what I do, and I've now lost nearly 145 pounds in two years (down from 400 to 257 as of the other day). I started with about 30 minutes on the treadmill 3-4 times per week, but now I do five days a week and I average between 60-90 minutes. Just walking while watching TV or movies. It's not about WHAT you do for…

Thanks so much for the very kind words, and I’m so glad to hear that you too seem to have figured out a program that works for you! That makes me really happy! Because I think everyone can do it, but they do have to find their own way... coming up with a plan that makes THEM happy! And hey, if you do like my blog, I’d be…

I think maybe you're not allowed to post links to things on the boards? I apologize if that's the case. Not trying to sell anything, just trying to help. Anyway, I did add the name and address of my blog in my profile so if you click on my profile you'll see it and can reach it that way. I think that's probably allowed.…
