If I drink anything an hour before bedtime I am up at 3am and I hate that. Does it stick with you?.I think it would if you had a ton of sodium that day but I dont know that for sure. Just a guess on my part.

I know what that's like and if you can, really try to give exercise a go....you will see that you'll be too tired at first to worry about stuff at work and you'll just get the job done. After 20 days you'll feel like an entirely different person. It's amazing. As a matter of fact, my talking about it has me thinking about…

You can do it easily....try thinking about things low in calories that will fill you up. For example there are very few calories in fruits and veggies. For breakfast I eat and entire cereal bowl filled, to over flowing,of fruit consisting of 1cup watermelon, 2 cups cantaloupe, 1 cup of strawberries...like 150 calories and…

may sound a bit harsh, but a stressful job is a health risk on top of any weight issues - might be worth while to find something else to do. If not an option then here is what I did back when my job was killing me - I started getting up 2hrs earlier and going to the gym. I maintained my weight b/c I wasnt dieting but after…

Haha please dont be embarassed. It's kewl!

LOVE this part of your story: "It’s amazing what an eye opener it is to know how many calories are in the food you eat. Add that to the fact that I just <b>didn’t want to have to record that I ate an entire bag of cheetos </b>, and I found the website to be really helpful. " You hit the nail on the head...I didnt eat like…

My doc as told me for years "calories in, calories out" that's all there is to it. My wife lost a ton of weight on WW but she too gained back when she stopped. This site is very similar to my spreadsheet accounting version of "counting calories" - which has worked for me in the past....I just gave it up and went back to my…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Sorry - but as a guy, this was a funny thread to read. Congrats on your girls not "bust"ing out. OK - coming back to edit this - b/c I have man boobs and they are shrinking. You know, one time a lady asked me if I needed "support" as I was running around the bases during a softball…

Man that was a lot of words and what not .... nearly put me to sleep. From my perspective I was a 4 regular Pepsi's per day kinda guy plus any 32oz I'd pick up at lunch and/or dinner. Considering my weight loss vs my exercise which consists of mowing the lawn 2x per week and walking the dog 1/2 mile once per week or so...I…

Seriously....between you and Ms Warner....holy freakin' cow!!! Motivational is an understatement.....Im stoked! Great work!

Great list!!

Goodness.....the others are right , I looked at your diary and you can't just eat a fiber one bar one day and McDonalds and other fast food all day the next. Your goal is 1200 calories and that is practically starvation! So you have to eat 1200 every day, my friend...and try not to go over. Sounds like me when I first…

Eating your workout calories is probably the problem.... heard this on "the biggest loser" before and talked to my doc about it and he said that was not the way. He explained it to me this way.... to lose 1lb per week you need create a 3500 calorie deficit. 2lbs is a 7000 calorie deficit per week! With numbers like that…

Chicken for dinner.....4 ozs 100 calories...that's half a breast. So I eat 3 of them.

lol, Duh, I found the water bit...Thanks Sabrina! I hope they put out an update for it so I can complete my food entries for the day.
-
I havent gained any but figure I would put whatever the scales say - just to keep myself honest. Same with the calories thing...even if I know I am over a little or a lot I put it down to learn from it. Pick a day (for me it's Friday's) and dont look until then. Weighing yourself daily will drive you nuts and discourage…

My doc says that anything less than 30 minutes is useless b/c you dont get into the "fat" stores until you've been going for 20. If doing cardio I go for about 45 minutes, if fat burn (slower heart rate) I go for about 1.5hrs. I will tell you though, I had borderline high blood work numbers in all categories but within…

I bought a Timex Ironman version with the chest strap, it came with 3 different size stretchy straps and I needed the big one since I was 275lbs at the time. THe stretch straps still adjust a bit too so if the big one is too big you can make it a smaller. Love this tool...it was about $75 via Amazon.com a year ago which…

Before last week I was doing a 12-pack of pepsi every 3 days - 4 cans minimum at home plus whatever I'd get (usually 32ozs) for lunch and if I went out to dinner 2-3 refills. I have been drinking 1 can per day since last week...I tried to quit cold turkey but my body said no way! I became real irritable. I figure by next…

Cool - look at all the replies I got :blushing: Not knowing the calories before I started....scares me to think about it.....and now I am consciously aware that if I do a Tim Horton's breakfast sandwich for breakfast I may be starving come dinner time with only 100 calories left lol. I did what you all told me to do to get…

Lol - ok - I'll take it...where did you get the cool little tool that shows up at the bottom of your post showing your progress?
