Shouldn't have eaten that half a bunless Whataburger late last night..;-)

:D :D I know huh?

Glad I started this MFP when I did. Else I might have found myself in as bad a shape as Buddy352 and headed for more than just "one skid down" ;) B)

today 211 lbs. Finally broke the 212 barrier.

Thanks again to all. FYI I'm 64 6' retired Cattle Rancher, Drummer and Law Enforcement. Point being I been skinny and active all my life. 33 waist til 46-7 34 waist til 55 yrs. and then a slow climb to 36" waist. I have been riding the couch too much. I've always ate what I wanted with impunity. But again at my age Nov the…

Great thread!

Duck_Puddle. "You may also lose the will to live because carbs are delicious." LOL Good one!

Just read this on HEALTHLINE.. It Lines up with what my Dr. suggested "The dietary guidelines recommend that carbs provide 45 to 65 percent of your daily calorie intake. So if you eat a 2000-calorie diet, you should aim for about 225 to 325 grams of carbs per day. But if you need to lose weight, you will get much faster…

212.4 today. yeehaw Belly B Gone is back on track YESTERDAY = I adjusted the CARB up and lowered the Protein *as suggested*

Good Day! 214lbs today and came in under my goals yesterday. (except sodium).

All great ideas. I use a Nuwave Oven season with Lemon Pepper or Salsa or Tony's Cajun or Old Bay drench in lemon juice first.. 8 mins per side I usually err on the side of over cooking (undercooked fish scares me) it's always still good. I'm no chef and prolly have no business in the kitchen but the NuWave is very…

I no longer do biscuits and gravy, fast food breakfast sandwiches, fried foods. One of you mentioned potatos I may go back to a baked spud occasionally but will have to offset the carbs elsewhere that day..With your help and using MFP I am absolutely sure that I am eating healthier overall.

Try2again. Thanks to all for the tips and encouragement. Please let me emphasize Sundays food choices are NOT the norm... For example today so far is a typical weekday since starting MFP ( notice the Protein Shake as in most brkfst's, The absence of bread / cheese / taters / fries/ chips / candy/ etc.) Now I probably will…

. When my wife (years ago) went to weight specialist he had her attack FAT GRAMS. She had the best results with that approach...I'm using that as reference..

"f you find a way to eat pizza and hot dogs and fast food burgers and other convenience food literally all day long and still lose weight, please write a book! You will have come up with a diet all of us could get behind." ..............hahahaha. Not the best representation.. this was NFL Playoffs 2 Game Day.. the fast…

Today back to 213.5 lbs. here's yesterday's intake. -

thanks all for the tips and encouragement. I weigh and log everything. Target 2000 Cal, 125 Carb, 56 Fat g's, 250 Protein (2,300 Sodium, 56 Sugar. - I don't concern myself too much with Salt and sugar as I add little to none to my food. I dont usually exceed the Cals so I focus on Carbs and Fat. Dr says don't exceed 45…

. S L O W going..cut back on taters, grease, chips, dip, sodas, beer, cheese 2 months now and hovering at 214 from 225. I never had problem's with my weight-was always skinny. Now I understand the struggle. But.. 185 lbs and 33-34 waist is coming hell or high water!

Down to 212.6 LBS

:)

not enough..214 today

What is NSV?? Thanks

Thanks all. Yes I think I can replace one of my official 3 meals with a 'shake' type drink forever. I too love breakfast so I usually wind up eating breakfast for a lunch. I've always removed the skin from my bird, not added salt and never been big on bread and always paper toweled the grease from beef and sausage. We cook…

It's seems slow going even with radical food choice changes. I cut back on my bread cheese chips and beer for lettuce wraps, more fish and skinless bird chkn/trky spiked seltzers and carrot sticks/pork rinds for snacks. along with boiled eggs and brkfst protein shakes and mountains of kale with everything...stuck at 215…

Stuck at 215# but staying there course.

stuck at 215# but staying the course.

Still stuck at 215# but on course

go cat go.. I started 58 days ago. 227# now plateau at 215. headed for 185. Targeting carbs fat and limit cals to 2000. making better food choices by logging & learning. subbing lettuce wrap for bread, pork rinds carrot sticks and pickles for ruffles or taco chips and salsa. Spiked seltzer instead of beer wine or liquor.…
