I was on a decent weight-loss streak a year and a half ago. Then, I regained my weight back and I'm trying to lose it all again. I've been serious about sticking to my calorie goals for the last 3 weeks, I'd say, so I'm still pretty early into this. I think I've lost 7 pounds in total since January 1st, which might not be…

How are you measuring these properly? I'm guessing you input your food manually. For instance, when you eat x grams of mushrooms, you add the nutrition info to MFP based on what's on the package of the mushrooms you ate? I've been scanning barcodes recently for more accurate readings. The box of cereal, for example, says 1…

I'm on Norco, which is hydrocodone and acetaminophen. I take one a day for the pain at night. Not sure if that causes me to retain water, or not. I see. I'll stick as close as possible to my 1500/day then.

My diary is now public. I've been weighing/measuring my food, but perhaps not well enough. For food like pizza, which I had Saturday, it's tough measuring it. So, I think I'll just stay away from that s**t for a while. I weigh-in every Monday morning, before eating breakfast. I had knee surgery a couple weeks back and I'm…

Can't run until I get a bone spur taken care of in my knee in February. I thought about it, but I usually walk about 60 minutes a day after dinner, anyway. Figured it wouldn't hurt to keep it up every other day.

I've been trying it for the last couple of days. I don't find myself wanting much in the morning (never really was a breakfast guy), but it's a challenge getting over evening snacks. I set my eating period between 1pm and 9pm. I wake up not feeling bloated. No reduction in energy (I usually pound about 3 cups of coffee…

If I wanted to try this, then I'd eat my 1450 calories between 12 noon and 7pm and then not eat again until noon the next day?

I know how the OP's feeling. I was weighing at 200 last year, and dropped from 250. Now I'm back at 225. Talk about depressing.

When I was trying to lose weight through college (just graduated in May), I would buy microwavable foods. Annie Chun's noodles made for quick, satisfying meals with about 200-275 calories per bowl. Lean Cuisine was also a decent option. Just don't buy the trash TV dinners, like Hungry Man or Banquet. I'd think they'd…

I'm trying to drink tea or coffee whenever I feel like rifling through the cabinets. Eliminating the junk from your house is a perfect method, too.

Currently 225. Aiming for 175. Haven't weighed that since high school...

I think I've read of this on NPR. If my calorie goal is 1450 per day, then if I decided to do intermittent fasting, I'd do 500 calories for 2 days, and my normal goal for the other 5 days? Or how does this work?

No, you're exercising too much... Kidding, of course. Seems like you're on the right track! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll revert back to -2 lbs./week, until I hit 200, and then I'll figure out another diet plan from there.

Haha... Thanks for the information and advice, folks. I appreciate it. Looks like I need to start drinking more water.

I worked, came home, had a piece of cake that I bought myself, and went to sleep at 10:00.

Eating a Snickers bar was a bad move, killing 280 calories.

To hell with what other people think. You're doing it for yourself, I hope. If you're proud of your weight loss so far (and you should be), feel free to tell anyone about it. If they have a problem with it, and can't realize how much of a challenge it is, then oh well.

Nah. Loyalty is very important to me.

Greek yogurt Vita Coco Coconut Water Silk Original (light) Hazelnut coffee creamer (Nestle) Some sort of fruit

A bagel and cream cheese.

I think I was last skinny when I was 16 or so. And even then I thought I was fat.

You look great. Well done!

My tastes in movies and music.

I stay away from it simply because it tastes awful. I'd rather drink seltzer water than diet soda.

^ Ripped, with a cool tattoo. You've achieved awesome status.

Awesome idea. I'm in... Name: HangoverSquare Goal weight on February 29th: 212 lbs 2/01: 2/06: 2/13: 2/20: 2/27: 2/29:

You're awesome and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

Personality counts, above all. And that's not just generic, PC rhetoric. You can always lose weight and alter your appearance. You can never alter a truly ugly or evil personality. (And to hell with Facebook.)

I drink 4 cups a day, minimum. Switched cigarettes for coffee. Hey, my lungs don't mind.
