great job. 20 days and that much of a change ! you must be so proud of yourself !!!

question though how long can they be kept in the freezer? i like to buy a fair amount when they go on sale because they are quite expensive where i live but that means i pretty much live off them until i get sick of them. if they can be kept in the freezer for at least month that would be great !

Isn't it funny ! you just lost that 40 lbs and now you want to put it back on !!!! lol completely understand and i think it wouldn't hurt anything but do you realize your heart rate's not going up as much because you have improved your cardio level so much ! Kudos to you. Good Luck in whatever you decide works for you.

Are you kidding !?! to me if i couldn't wear my bands that would be HUGE !!! Congratulations and good luck to you on the rest of your journey :drinker: take note that he is drinking water nothing else lol

could you give the receipe. i wouldn't mind trying it. is it a hearty type of soup? i like hearty over watery, i actually think that i'm eating something with substance. thank you in advance

the better the shape you are in and the better you eat i.e following what you're doing on MFP any weight that you will gain will come off easier as long as you keep at it. just don't get in the habit like a lot of pregnant women do and say " it doesn't matter what i eat, i'm eating for two now anyways." your body will only…

great job especially making sure you did it the healthy way which i'm sure was very hard to do. you must feel like your on top of the moon right now !?! i know i would be. good luck in reaching your goal. :happy:

wow way to make people think ! i guess my opinion is; it depends on the severity of the "enhancement" . if it would give an unfair advantage to one person than i think that would be cheating but i would have to be presented with scenarios like you gave to determine. But if it has to do with a weightloss journey than i…

i do it numerous times daily but i also don't stress if it goes up because i know weight fluctuates during the run of the day and how hydrated you are, if you just ate,exercised etc.... the main ones i look at are first thing in the am. that tells me if i'm on the right track or if i have to pick up the pace a little with…

i wouldn't consider you aimless because you are on this site with something in mind that you can achieve! heaith and weight loss. in a way it is good that you feel guilty because that means you are more aware of what you are doing to your body and know what you should be doing for your body. knowledge is power and each day…

i still have the sweet junk food craving but only fulfill once in awhile. but when i am in town and hungry i go to wendy's usually but by the time i've driven in and sometimes parked with the car shut off i talk myself out of it and leave. i have at least 3 or 4 reasons why i don't get it- i've come so far, i have food at…

i weigh myself numerous times a week but the one that i use for here to show if i'm up or down is wednesday am. i figure if i do bad a day or two on the weekend i have a few days at the beginning of the week that can get me back on track

when i first started going to the gym years ago i was the same except my gym was a little bit worse ! It was 2 levels- you went upstairs to do cardio and weight equipment and it was in the shape of a square so in the middle of the square was completely open to downstairs (the body builder floor) there was only 2 ways in…

definitely, you don't want to go out and have what you think might be fairly healthy for you and find out that everything is through the roof ! i've done that, well i did have my dinner planned out BUT they stopped carrying it so i had to pick something else. tried to pick the healthiest thing but it didn't quite work out.…

wtg i'm doing a fit camp similar to your class and every week i'm doing a little bit better than the last i.e. doing a plank with T.R.X. my gut doesn't touch the floor anymore. it didn't even look like i was trying. inside your head and your heart you go YYYEEESSS I DID IT !!!

isn't that awesome. i got to go down 1 band size but not cup which is what i want down ( i'm a G) the shopping spree will hopefully be soon for me Congratulations on looking after yourself, you are no good to anyone when you are not healthy or emotionally healthy. WTG :flowerforyou:

well here r my comments on the issue.... quick back story... i work at a busy coffee shop 45 hrs/week and my knees have hurt for the last year or so and than late june i went on mat leave and my knees got worse where i couldn't sometimes lean on one side, kneel on them whether soft or hard surface , go up or down stairs…

amazing work !! ps i think your brother needs to get new socks unless he needs air vents! lol

i watched one of those investigative shows like 20/20 or one of those and it was about foods that stated things about DHA, Omega's 3+6 etc... and (this included formula as well) every product had enough of it to say that it was in it but you would have to have an exorbatant amount to get the amount that is actually…

look closely at your back pics especially, i see a big difference. wtg. keep at it, 12 lbs is just the appetizer wait till you get to the main course of half way to your goal and dessert your goal.

congrats. we are almost on the same path.( of the amount of weight to lose) i started at 259lbs and wanting to get down to 170lbs. It's funny how people could be close to the same weight but look sooooooo different. you have most if not all of your weight on your upper torso and seem to have quite slender legs and than…

offer to try some new receipes or at least do what you can to lighten the calorie-laden foods by eating extra raw or steamed veggies or a load of salad. slowly you might be able to impress your new wealth of health info on your family. good luck on your journey and your family

that is one of my goals as well. get over the morbidly obese than the obese than overweight but not extremely terrible than healthy weight !! pound by pound i am slowly getting there. congratulations on your achievement ! i know it wasn't easy for you to get there BUT extremely satisfying

I have lost an average 2 year old and 2 dozen Krispy Kreme's. Hope noone will get too upset when I say that I'm not going to send out a search party for that 2 year old !.It can stay lost !!! lol I\m going to come back to this every so often to see where I am on this list. I'm waiting for the 65 lb mark ( an elephant's…

will try

i see a huge difference. and it isn't just in one spot it's all over. wtg

what is the GM diet ?

sounds yummy. thank you

very nice post. it is nice to read a guy's perspective that is not chauvenistic.

i assume you were larger for many years like most of us and the self esteem and body image issues started way back then or probably even earlier. it's going to take quite a bit of doing positive affirmations with yourself.(drilling positive images into your head) talking with a counsellor to uproot issues to see what else…
