You're right about the starting part. Now that you have that behind you, its still tuff but at least your body and mind are getting used to it. GOOD LUCK

Congrats on the loss, great job and fantastic discipline and effort. I added you if you like.

I'd like to get tp 36/38 whatever 190 will put me at.

Turkry lunchmeat and whole grain bread. It will last you all week. High fiber cereal and low fat milk. Get whatever greens are on sale that week.

Build up your strength by walking. When you can do more, thats when you are going to start feeling a little better. Also do stretching, breathing exercises and walking up and down the stairs. Maybe you start by 2 times up and down the stairs while there's a commercial on tv, then increase, baby steps. Thats how I'm doing…

Instead of eating back your exercise calories, eat 1400 calories a day, exercise as you would normally and see what happens. That means even on days you don't exercise eat 1400 calories. People tend to overestimate the calories they burn

She's got the right idea, go by monthly total. This way if you have a plateau for a week it may not effect your overall total for the month. I weigh in throughout the month but I only log my weight on the 1st of every month. Good Luck

I bought $20 my wife bought $20, I know down the tubes. You gotta have hope.

I started at 340 and I have a 1500 calorie limit. I don't eat my exercise calories back. So far no plateau, I know its coming.

By throwing a dart at the dart-board, doesn't everyone. Thats how i got to be 340lbs. Well I can't blame it on me, can I?

Hi, Your kidneys may be over worked. Just because your drinking water, that doesn't mean that your kidneys aren't being over worked. If you can cut it down to 80 ounces a day. That may help. Also, if you have a slow heart rate your circulation can be slowed and water can retain. It retains in your ankles because of…

The first 2 months i dropped 44 lbs. I think 15 to 17 lbs a month is good for me.

It's not really recipes but. High fiber cereal with almond milk, turkey burgers with low high grain bread, steamed broccoli with alittle olive oil and salt, the 100 cal. high grain bread with peanut butter or laughing cow cheese Nature valley high protein high fiber granola bars Baked sweep potatos, good by itself This is…

Do you weigh yourself at the same time in the doctors office as you do at home? Do you weigh yourself in similar clothing? These items will have an affect on your weight.

My health and looking in the mirror.

I don't eat them. I may at some point in the future but thats along way off.

High Fiber cereal and low fat milk.

If your lucky the fat is transferred to energy when you exercise and burns itself off. I don't believe fat can turn into muscle.

Keeping your legs up as much as possible and cardio exercise. The cardio will get your heart rate up which will move the fluid more quickly. After you exercise you will have greater edema but in the following hour you will see it decrease substantially.

Make sure the calories you're counting is accurate. Unless you have a medical condition that is slowing your weight loss, you should be losing more. The best results are in the first few weeks.

How much do you eat a day? How many calories do you burn a day? How much did you weigh when you started? What do you weigh now? How much do you on average lose per week? I eat 1500 calories a day Burn about 600 calories a day 5/6 times a week Was 340 Now 283 about 5lbs per week.

I take; Muti vitamin, Acia, Flaxseed Oil, Q10 and African Mango pill

20 cups is a lot. Your kidneys may need a brake, slow down to about 10 or 12 a day.

Soup

I have Bradycardia, my heart rate is usually between 45 and 55. When I work out I can get my heart rate up to 170 depending on how much I push myself. It doesn't have a negative impact on my weightloss.

I usually fast the following day and double my exercise. that will get rid of most of the binge. If you ate as much as I usually do on a binge, 6 or 7 thousand calories then it can take 4 days. GoodLuck

If you stick with the diet it will take approx. 8 or 9 months. good luck

I weigh in once a month. It gives me a chance to work thru plateaus and get the results I want.

Thats the weight watchers program. It works very well for a lot of people. Good Luck
