Hi ya YoungDoc! Don't know how long you've been on mfp - but i know what's helped me, is the simple fact of logging my food pretty regularly and seeing the quality of food i was eating, compared to now. My mindset - which sounds like yours - is eating in BULK lol. Not necessarily having to be anything savory or knock your…

I am not catholic - but last year the local radio station dj's were talking about what they were giving up - so i thought it would be fun to give it a try myself. I gave up for lent soda - any kind - be it diet or regular - i didn't drink a drop for 40 days.....soon as it was over i went buck wild and probably gained 20lbs…
-
I like to call them "casual days" as oppose to "cheat days". If i had a "cheat day" - my mind would think WOOHOO LET'S GO BUCK WILD lol If i have a "casual day" - my mind says, well...sure if you want a cookie from the walmart deli - and it's on the sale rack - yeah sure let's do it - if not, no stress we'll probably come…

This time around (1st time ever and there's been MANY times mind you lol) I seem to be finding more success having "casual days" as oppose to "cheat days" or "cheat meals" I dunno the word "cheat" just psych's me out I guess - like wow we're cheating let's go buck wild let's start over Monday woohoo! lol I guess I process…

I'm on for 14 hours a day - 3 days a week - my job allows me to have the website logged in while I work :) other days, honestly, hit and miss - but i'm always just an email away so you can add me if you'd like :)

I work 14 hour shifts - 8a-10p....so often i'm not able to eat the last bit of my pre-planned meal line ups til 10p on ride home. then i'm asleep by 12midnight (if not earlier sometimes). i have lost 10lbs this past month so it hasn't effected me. Biggest thing I can contribute that to though is PRE-PLANNED part....not…

My neice works at duncan donuts and bought me that evilness recently too lol - and I could only stomach half of it - tooooooo sweet and rich. Luckily I'm a krispee kreme kind of girl, so it wasn't too heartbreaking to toss the rest lol.

Dang! Wish I could see images on my computer at work haha. Congratz on finding your nitch in this biz called lifestyle change! I have been seriously considering the same strategy for myself as well - your post gives the idea more backing. Thanks! :)

once - i was taking a water aerobics class in the morning time at the local community park center - so, it was full of the elderly generation (they love the morning hours of course). So I was probably all of 24 years old, and at that time (albeit less that I am now lol) maybe 250-300lbs.... Well you know all the signs…

Well, keeping in mind we're all different :) My official start date was 1/9 - and I have lost 9lbs.
-
Great job - love the fringe! :)

something i have found helpful on this journey - is changing my goal #. i don't know how much you have to lose - but try chipping away at it in different increments maybe? for example - lordy i would need to lose over 200lbs - but that NEVER happens (hasn't yet) - too intimidating. the 1st, and VERY 1ST time I change my…

hey pal - welcome to the site! i had a total thyroidectomy in 2005 - weight has always been a struggle, but more so when they removed my underactive one altogether. I could jokingly say "mannnnn i never get bigger than 333 I got this" - like i was a hot mama or something but soon as that thyroid came out - my weight went…
-
notice your post said carbs and salt are the triggers lol - me too! you said never feeling full - me too!....until.... i discovered baby spinach! 4.5 cups only 20 cals - so make you a big pot of whole wheat angle hair pasta - dump 4.5 cups of baby spinach into it - butter and salt it up and enjoy a bit of it all day. :) or…
-
^This! Like you - this would be my umpteenth million time giving this a go lol. But it totally "feels" different this time. I mean I have over 200lbs to lose - but I'm choosing this time to look at the smaller picture so I don't intimidate myself. I mean 1 month down, I'm down 9lbs - and I'm almost at my 1st goal woohoo!…
-
Hey pal so glad to have you join the community! :) I am 1 month in now - and I lost 9lbs. Lordy, I have over 200lbs to lose in all - but I don't fuss with that right now. What i'm finding helpful is setting my goals SMALLER so I don't get intimidated. Right now....my 1st goal is 17.5lbs. I'm almost there after only 1 month…

"...just can't stop eating it...and don't know how to stop..." Wonder if it's because you've got your mind thinking that it's this big no no - can't touch it anymore ever again if I'm going to lose weight and be healthy - kind of naughty temptation thing? Sort of like - you always want what you "can't have".... Maybe if…
-
1 month in, and I'm down 9lbs. I have followed everything in moderation theory - but my secret weapon - BABY SPINACH! I plop that stuff in anything I can - 4.5 cups of that stuff is only 20cals!! :)
-
He's probably not too focused on your weight I'd imagine, because you're so tall. But of course, you're welcome to get a 2nd opinion. If something doesn't sound/feel right - seek a 2nd opinion. :) I personally, have had a total thyroidectomy - because mine grew too big in my throat (i had caught a virus) - and had to be…

Literal LOL on that one - I thank you for that :) I don't do spices really - or like spray pam, etc.

never been a football fan myself - i'm about mid way through my 14 hour work shift right now woohoo lol
-
Something that I've found helpful, I try to call them "casual days" - instead of "OMG i just went off the handle so this is a mad bender to the next start over day" kind of days lol.... That way in my mind it works like - so, going out with the friends tonight - since this is a "casual day" - i'll have a few extra bits off…

The calorie burn is easier for us way larger folk in the beginning - but don't worry - soon we'll be cussing the burn too lol :) Friend at my job logged in her 7min walk, and burned like 45 cals during her lunch break - i came back from my break and posted my 7min walk and burned like 115.... few min later, she stuck her…

How lovely! I'm in - feels different for me this time - feels really IN :)
