Too true! One of my discoveries as I got into this (but I've been slacking off lately). Eggs have choline which works great to hold appetite down! + lots of protein!

you could see if hoodia works for you...it's a lot safer and does supress appetite for some people. might be psychsomatic, but worked for me in the beginning trying to kill the munchies before bed...now I don't need it

That's obvious...sleep on the couch and leave the kitties alone!

Hey - come on! I know for a fact when I start weight training I'm in for at least 10 pounds. Kinda why I don't want to start...have you had your body fat measured? That's the real indicator and I would strongly suggest you try it...if you can afford it, there are more advanced ways than the standard caliper. Just google…

Awesome observation!!

I love MFP! Oh what a man can learn...

I typically follow this advice: When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen. When they're finished, I climb out.

I hope you have no interest in WTC as an MFP venue, otherwise a broadly insensitive comment, especially considering those who died like my roomate and those impacted. But I can get down there on my own time..

9/11 memorial...and then local pub.

In. Thanks!

Hey there...dropped the first ten real fast and then leveled out...starting exercise tomorrow to take it up a notch! Have a ways to go but in it for the long haul! Good luck!

New Jersey, but still a New Yorker at heart.

Makes me fearful for my daughters...bad behavior by men, involving them if I'm around, will probably get me locked up someday...hopefully not. They are more sheltered than I was growing up, but very capable and strong. My brother is a therapist who has seen too many young woman date-raped in college. It really disgusts me.

If you can afford a trainer, found it helps a bunch. I was bored wiith typical exercise and found working out at a gym with free weights and non-standard equipment like ship ropes and sledge hammers on truck tires was a lot of fun. Trainer who pushes you takes everything up a level.

I'm all hair and ears...and I'm letting my therapist brother know where to find a few new clients!

The question is has anyone actually ever had to use mace?

I live in a very conservative state (NJ), but have a Glock 9mm near my bed. I love to target shoot. Good luck!

Did you ever ask him why?

Hey there. I'll send you an invite...have a few friends with similar targets. My first stop is 200 then hopefully on to 160. We're all with you. Stay with it!

An inspiration. You look beautiful!

Thanks so much!! -g

I've done this before...it falls off for the first two weeks and then slows...I'll be losing water when I start crying if it's all water...

Thanks...btw, I spend 90 percent of my day doing writing and research and can't stand typos...should be "5 pounds" in the title, but I guess everyone gets it...and who said eating had nothing to do with the stress of attempting perfection. I need a life!

New here too...I will definitely need help as I move beyond my first week. I always seem to fall off after 5 weeks of dieting. I'm in for the long haul though...thanks and good luck!!! -Greg

Hey there...I could use some motivation as well...as always, the weight is dropping my first week and want to follow through this time...all my stats and logs are open. I had some thoughts about your exercise but a little too tired now to go into it...let me know if interested and I'll drop you a note tomorrow. Good luck!!…
