I'm in too! I'm 29, started at about 305lbs and am about 47lbs down with 75ish to go.

- Clothes (Lack of stylish clothes and cost) - Wondering if I'll fit in that chair at events (sports games, concerts, theater, etc) - Sex (positions, endurance, flexibility, etc)

Awesome post, thank you! Love the recipes for the off occasion that I decide to have a drink :)

^^^ THIS!

I'm 5'11 and i am looking to get into the 160's!

Check out the websites :) http://www.c25k.com/ http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

*BUMP* Great question! I would love to hear the responses for those that have lost that much! I have the same fears! I have about 125lbs to lose, and am terrified that everything will look not so nice at the end!

I vary my salads: blackened chicken caesar, chef salad, and the like. I also bring wraps: turkey wraps, tuna wraps – loaded with tons of veggies! I also vary my fruits. Last week I had bananas, this week I have sweet clementine’s, next week plums? Who knows!? The sky is the limit on choices :) Add a yogurt or keebler 100…

thanks Julialla :)

Thanks! I appreciate your input! I will leave it at Sedentary :smile:

Youger... I'll be 27 and usually I get late teens (19) early 20's. It's about half and half if I get carded for a rated R movie.

I graduated in 2009 with a dual BS in Criminal Justice and Forensic Studies, and have worked in the Criminal Justice field for over 6 years now. Looking for a change I decided to work towards a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction for Secondary Education with a concentration in History (I love history!). I am in my first…

Hello! Working towards a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction for Secondary Education with a concentration in History. Yea and work full time on top of that :) Although I will say that I am taking it easy, and only going part time.... 1. because its expensive, 2. because I don’t have time for more than that! I have major…

Thanks for the replys!

Thank you MissMaryMac33! I didnt know that! Great info! Good luck Beehiveof8! Glad to hear things have turned around!

ninerbuff, I have no idea what you mean when you say "miniscule effect on thermogenisis".... is this good, bad, not important? I'm not up on the lingo.... Explanation would be awesome :D

SW: 277 10/03/11: 270 10/10/11: 269 10/17/11: 268 Check in for 10/24/11 (I’m a couple days late): 268 no change :/ I guess I can’t be too bummed considering I went on a road trip for a week.... definitely did not plan well for that vacation! Anyway, I learned a valuable lesson: plan and pack for road trips!!! There is…

kumba We have all been here, and it is tremendously hard to overcome. It sucks that you have ‘friends’ that are so hurtful…. But that probably means that they aren’t really your friends. A friend may tell you the harsh truths to help you snap it together, but they would never be malicious to you for the fun of it. For me,…

Welcome snwprblm! I am relatively new to this site, and like you have always always always been the fat friend! AND I HATE IT! I have about 100 lbs left to lose, and it’s a struggle… but it’s definitely worth it! I can’t wait to not be the fat friend! No lie there are a few people that I hope cry (some in a mean way, some…

Thanks Carolina! I know for me if I think about this change as a 'diet' I end up setting myself up for failure, or straight up sabotaging myself. For me, this is about really changing my habits and thought process regarding food in general, healthy food intake, self image, etc. This is not a quick fix; this is a long term…

Cheat days do not work for me personally because then I will eat EVERYTHING! Instead I work ‘splurge’ foods into my daily calories or into my meal plan for one of my days if I know I am going out. virginiejaubin brought up a really great point that works really well, I capitalized the specific part that rocked. (your…

WAY TO GO EVERYONE! We are all doing so great! Even on days were we have set backs :) Like so many wise ones have said "this is a marathon, not a sprint". This is really a lifestyle change, some days were are rocking, and some days we are staling, but at least we keep on moving! SW: 277 10/03/11: 270 10/10/11: 269 Check in…

I just started out with a trainer, and I fully explained what I'm doing on her with MFP. I asked the same question "if I should be eating back my calories" and they advised that I shouldn't! They said that although I already have a 'deficit in my intake of calories' that if I were to eat back all the calories I have burned…

I am a little late for the Monday check in, but here it is :) SW: 277 Last Weigh in: 270 Weigh in 10/12/11 (Should have been for 10/10/11): 269 WOOP WOOP! I know that it is only a pound, but I'd rather lose only one than gain one! I also started the gym this week, and I'm working with a trainer to do strength training :)…

Thank you so much for the wonderful information! I am in stage 1, and am totally loving it! I am dreading hitting the 'wall' I know is coming! Hopefully I will be able to work through it and move on to the next stage. I can’t wait to get to Stage 6!!!!

Great question! Fantastic responses!

Great question! Great responses!
