40 and very overweight since the 2nd year of marriage. I gained 20 lbs every kid. So did she but she lost it all after birthing them. I'm down 31 lbs and holding. I ate too little and damaged my metabolism by going into starvation mode. I am compensating by starting a weight regemin along with cardio. I still have 85 lbs…

Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter Modify. I have hit a plateau so I started strength training and increasing my cardio. I have gained weight due to the increased strength training but my inches are decreasing as fast as my weight used to. I have no doubt that my weight will start disappearing again after a…

Man boobs, my wife could fit in the leg of my pants, my 14 year old 217 lb son, sucking wind every time I leaned over to tie my shoes, family pictures where Jobba the Hutt was sitting with my family, BP 140/39, resting heart rate 85, my fat pants were getting tight.

Make your own. It is a meal in and of itself especially with low salt natural butter. The best way to get Ezekiel bread is from your mother who loves to bake and tells you to come over just after she bakes a bunch of loaves. I've never bought Ezekiel bread from the store. Maybe the store bought stuff does taste like crap.

Your body will think you are joking for the first 30 days and won't really take you seriously until after the first month. My weight loss have been in waves. I always lose weight fast right after a slight plateau of no weight loss. In the beginning I even gained some weight back probably because of water weight, but more…

I hope I can be down that much in that short of a timeframe. You are a real inspiration and you look so much younger now.

I'm from Florida. Started out 320 and am down to 288 lbs. Still lots to lose. I want to get down to 199 lbs and I am well on my way. I still need to lose about 6.5 stone or 89.2 lbs. I have already lost 2.3 stone since January 14. I walk about 2 hours a week. I do about half of the cooking in the house. I don't always eat…

I'm 289 from 320 since mid January. My goal was 210. Seeing your success I want to drop mine to 200 or lower. Thanks for the inspiration.

With my wife in school I started cooking 400 calorie meals. Now m y children eat what I eat and I am losing weight quickly. My 14 year old is 6'3" and 211. He used to be 217. He saw my weight loss, signed up for his own MFP account and started realizing girls no longer have cooties and so far either one or all three have…

Kabobs on a grill. You can buy a cheap grill anywhere. Build a fire, let it burn down to red hot coals place the grill over the burning embers and then place your kabobs over the fire. You can use lean beef, pork or chicken, mushrooms, possibly a cherry tomato or two and a bell pepper. I like adding pineapple chunks. Place…

Those who succeed first get told what to do. If they do it long enough, along the way, they start figuring out the what and why with their bodies. Those who don't gain everything back after being told what to do are the ones who have learned the what and why.

Pam spray on hot cast iron. I can cook eggs any way imaginable and as long as the cast iron skillet is heated up, it won't stick (unless you are cooking hashbrowns with the eggs. Then it will stick no matter what.)

Homemade bread is more dense than store bought. The lighter and fluffier the bread, the less calories per slice. There is not much substance to store bought bread. Ball a slice of store bought and your bread and you will find your bread ball is thicker. The only wheat substitutes you can use are probably going to make the…

I just dropped below 300 lbs. I have been on Treadmills built for the heavier person but I have never been on an elliptical. Would an elliptical hold one of my weight. Are they quieter than a Treadmill? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
