That's great! That's a lot of weight in just one week.

Absolutely, don't quit! 10 pounds is great progress. If worse comes to worse, maybe take a day off from counting and indulge yourself a bit. I find it makes it easier to get back in the swing for the next week.

That's it. I'm not quitting! At least not until I reach my goal. Welcome to the site!

I ate at least 10 of those mini chocolate bars last night, then popcorn with extra butter that I added. I am not even a sweet-eater, but I suppose my deprivation over the past weeks might have made them taste soo good. Ah well, what the hell. That's why there are always tommorrows. :smile:

Congrats!!!!!!!:bigsmile:

Carbs are not necessarily bad. Sweets, though... When your calories are limited and if you are following your plan, you'll quickly give up any calories that don't give real sustanance. At least I did. I hoard the few I get for good things that fill me up and "nutrify" me. :smile: Anywho, stick with this site and you'll do…

Welcome! Fibre is your friend!

Welcome and hello!

Free is good! Welcome!

Greetings and welcome!

I've never used a Bowflex, but with any resistance training, it's about reps + resistance. I would imagine your son has reletively low reps coupled with high resistance. If you cannot find a routine specifically, then try modifying your son's routine. Use 25% of the restance and double up on the repetitions. I think what…

Welcome!

That's awesome!! I also thought it was going to be a 'support moment'. Glad to see you are making your goals!!

Burger king? Of all the burger joints to fall off the wagon into. Ugh! :tongue: We all have bad days. I try to eat foods that fill me up, so I've given up on a lot of stuff I like and still some days I can't feel full. When it lasts for a few days, I eventually break down, figuring my body is trying to tell me something.…

Good link. I saw you mention it in another post and had to search for this original one. :tongue:

Personally, I don't list those things. When doing my initial settings I tried (and re-adjusted) to get close to my activity level (including, uh, grocery shopping!! :wink: ). If you like to micro-manage to that degree though, I'm sure it would be much more accurate.

It's working for me and I've never dieted in my life! :) Welcome and good luck!

Sorry Banks, I can't resist looking. The surprise at the end of 2 weeks or a month would be wonderful, but I like the frequent progress assessments. :) Good luck to you all, though!

Very cool! I gather you are coding the forum from scratch? What language are you using, if I may ask? [Edit] The editing feature is excellent!

Congrats!!

Wow, you three are family? Very cool! Happy birthday to JOTW & kimford28!! =D

Awesome! Congratulations and keep up the great work!!!

Yes, it really is! Welcome and keep at it! :)

Oh and with respect to dragonfly183, I wasn't meaning coffee. It's the one thing I do drink besides water and lots of it! :)

Yes, hang in there! Maybe consult your doctor or a nutritionist. I have had to experiment with different foods to find stuff that let me keep my goals and still kept me reasobnably full. For certain, don't waste the calories you are granted on liquids.

You'd be surprised what is already listed under cardio. If I am not mistaken, pushing a stroller is listed, so if you can't find 'shopping cart' substitute 'stroller'. :)

Welcome! You've come to the right place. I think it's darn near 100% successful for folks who are serious and using this site as a tool.

Don't feel bad. I just came from the grocery store with one of those ready roasted chickens. It was sort of planned. I've been on a protien deficit since yesterday and I was making up for it. Had lots of calories left, too. I weighed it before I ate and weighed it again afterward. You just don't want to know! :)

Congratulations! Except for the type of exercise, you just described my first month as well :) We started within a day or two of each other, I was also 220 and am down to 210 (I was actually 209 for two days, but I'm not heartbroken). My exercise is strictly weights, except for several minutes of stair climber set on max…

Whoops, 5 - 7 in a week NOT good.
