It is one day and I don't fret over it... I normally eat a light breakfast, head to the metro park for a nice long hike, and head home to partake in good company with family and friends and eat what a want. I don't log anything on Turkey day, that doesn't mean it is a license to binge but If I want it, I will have it. Next…

QFT..... She is the only one that can make a change if she feels the need too.. You can only lead by example and let her live her life.... Best of Luck

Why not eat foods you enjoy and just fit those foods into your calorie goals?? I lost over 300 lbs. and never once forced myself to eat something that I did not like... Nothing wrong with a slice of pizza and a side of steamed veggies if you can make it fit... Best of Luck

I have 312 reason that theory holds very little water.... I take a 500-600 calorie snack to bed with me every night (because I need to hit my TOTAL CALORIES) for the day and somehow managed to lose a couple pounds.... ☺

This exactly..... I NEVER associate the 2 as 1......... My diet is just that and nothing more and because I exercise I eat more to fuel my body for the workouts that I ask of it to do... 5 years ago I couldn't walk from my chair to the bath.. I literally rolled myself from room to room on a computer chair.. I spent the…

So after 5 years of eating over 1000 calories for breakfast alone (because of personal preference of course), hit the gym an hour later, losing 312 lbs., going from being homebound to doing just about anything I want, and maintaining this lifestyle for the last 2 years, means I have totally been doing this all wrong from…

I don't need motivated to do something I Love to do.... When you come from being trapped in the house at 560 lbs. to being able to do just about anything I darn well please, then motivation takes a back seat to living my life to the fullest and exercising is just part of that..... Best of Luck

And how does ones body tell time?? Each day you have a 24 hour window to consume a certain preset amount of calories as well as hitting macros and micros. Your body does not know the difference, if you are a 2nd shift worker and do not get up before 10 in the morning to eat your first meal or a 3rd shift worker that may…

Meal frequency is nothing but personal preference and what you can adhere to for your overall goals in hitting your Macros and Calories for each particular day... Whether you eat them all at once or over several meals throughout the day is totally your choice.... Best of Luck

We go to the gym together but once we walk through the front door, she goes her way and I go mine... She will send me a txt when she is finishing up to let me know she is ready to go soon.... She is normally on the indoor track down stairs or in the circuit area on the Nautilus and I am always in the weight room. If I need…

Breakfast is nothing more than personal preference and what your own goals are.... Whatever works for you to adhere to your daily caloric intake is what you should do... Best of Luck

Best of Luck with that I eat Pizza once a week (atleast) and Ice cream about every night.... Don't plan on that ever changing... lol
-
Does there need to be?? It's ice cream. ... lol I can get all my nutrition in with my Brussels sprouts and asparagus and 20 ounce of chicken. I won't get any extra credit spending the rest of my calories eating more Brussels sprouts but I can darn sure enjoy a bowl of Chocolate Reese peanut butter cup ice cream.........

All of This......... QFT.......

I lost 300 lbs. and was left with aprons of skin the worst being around my torso and it was making everyday life a struggle with clothes fitting and exercising and skin infections... I lost all that weight and felt like I was still entombed in my same prison so I decided I was worth it and went and had 17 pounds of skin…

Don't have any design specs but just throwing out to watch Your local paper and craiglist to name a couple places... You would be surprised the amount of fitness equipment that is for sale cheap..... Best of Luck

Love every minute of it....... It is my therapy both mentally and physically....... :drinker:

A calorie deficit is all that is needed for weight loss, the walking would be a good exercise for over all fitness but then again anything that gets you up and moving over doing nothing is a plus.... I had to enter a pool at 560 pounds to use water displacement to allow me to stand so that I could start exercising. I…

There is no magic pill or answer for that matter that makes it any easier, you just have to want it bad enough to go do it.. If your up to 5 a.m. some days, why not find a 24 hour fitness gym and go there straight after work or pack your bag and head to the gym at 2 before you go into work, get your workout in then. Alot…
-
Find an exercise that you enjoy doing, so that your more inclined to go do it... I mix things up alot from treadmill, to elliptical, to indoor track, StairMaster, weight room (is pretty much where I live lol), shooting hoops, swimming laps, outdoor hikes, biking, to name a few. Start small, do a 5 minute workout (is…

You don't need a weight loss kick start, you just need a calorie deficit and a little exercise for fitness. Treated it as a lifestyle and get on with life... Doesn't need to be anymore complicated than that..... Best of Luck

Congrats on the loss!!! I know all to well the struggles and determination to overcome such a monumental obstacle but we are living proof with the right mind set and support, anything is possible..... :drinker: Congrats again!!! Ed
