You have achieved a lot. You look great, sounds like you feel great too. Your amazing, and you've obviously worked hard, congrats!!

Hi there, I've been working on my weight loss for about 70 days now and have lost about 21 lbs. but would love to join your group to keep me motivated even more. I log daily and interact with friends, I could even post on my wall to send people to the group, depending on how big you wanted it to get or keep it small, maybe…

I may eventually go get a DXA/DEXA test done, but for now, I just use age, height, weight, measurements, etc. with online calculators, I've gotten between 28-32%, so I go by my withings scale, at 29.5% currently, which is within the online ranges. As long as mine goes down, for now I'm shooting for 20% as a goal. When I…

I have learned a lot on MFP, but several of you are right, but need to be combined in my opinion. I got sucked into the distributorship stuff for body by vi, and I don't actively sell it anymore. It's a pyramid scheme, plain and simple. That being said, the shakes taste good but they are overpriced. They have to be…

Most everything I've ever read says to shoot for 1-2 pounds a week at the most for losing weight. I've lost more and I've lost less, so I would presume they mean on average.

I'm not going to get into scientific debates with anyone, I'm not a scientist or nutritionist. I'll leave that to them. I just don't agree that processed foods are great and "we get fat cuz we're all in offices now". If you contact doctor's who specialize in health and nutrition, do they tell you "eat at mcdonald's? or…

I don't agree with that at all. Processed foods have a real way of assisting our "getting fat" process. It takes way more effort for our bodies to process and use foods that are processed and full of chemicals to "preserve" it to get it in stores and get it to us without rotting, molding, spoiling, etc. And fast food is…

I drive a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS Z71, my wife just got (5 months ago) a 2012 Kia Optima

I think 20-22% looks good on women and probably 10-15% for men... of course, this is in general, cuz some people look different at those percentages than the pics here.

Just did... Your doing great on your transformation KatieLouWho :) And I assume those are your handsome young ones in some of those pics, cool ;)

Well, a little height difference, but the numbers are about the same... Height: 6'4" SW: 289 CW: 272 FW: 200

We are really close in starting weight and goal weight :)

I have that too!!! Been telling my wife that for years, lmao.

I was a size 42, and they were tight, I'm now in size 40, fairly comfortably. Also depends on the manufacturer, but most 40's fit me fine now. I've lost about 15 lbs. to change pant sizes. I had kept all my old pants for some reason when I gained weight. Maybe thinking when I lost weight I could fit back into them. Good…

Absolutely great losses, and from the tone of your message, your not done there, so keep up the great work, I hope to have as much success as you, and I'm adding you as a friend, if that's ok. :)

I was going to say a bag of reese's cups... but now I want all the crap I just read on here and starving before bed, lmao. I will survive though, without any of this stuff!!!!

I log in every day, track my meals when I eat, like a habit, and I log in if only for a few mins at night to reply to folks posts, etc. Keeps me really motivated, which I am very happy about. I really want to succeed this time.

Are you sure? :P

MFP and all my MFP friends support :)

I'm a man, my wife is 4'10" and very cute IMO. I have sex with her. I know, crazy right? BTW. Since I'm sharing, she's also sexy even though she's cute, I have no idea what your man is talking about, something is fishy here. No accusations or anything like cheating, but I would politely have another conversation, cuz that…

I used to always run out of breath, then a friend of mine told me while I'm running, find a good rythym like 2 breaths in, then two quick breaths out every so many steps, 2-3 usually. So I worked on that to where everything was easier on me breathing and could maintain a good pace.Works pretty work well for me. Also, I…

Those are some nice looking calves, lol. Mine are 18", I'm a guy though, and 6'4", soooo.... they should be bigger, like the rest of me I would guess. Only have 15.5" Biceps though, so now I'm feeling a bit inadequate there, GEEZ. :P

LMAO. I have so many women at the gym over the years. My two cents... they belong there if they want to be in shape, just like guys. Some of them are a bit distracting however, like this woman at our gym that insists on wearing skin tight gym shorts and a very small tight sports bra and makeup. She's very attractive and…

I am way too heavy and active during the week to be less than 1200 calories. I have mine set at 1850, and days that I work out harder, I do eat some of those burned calories back, but trying to keep it healthy. My struggle right now is planning meals that I can eat without reheating and can take to work. We have a…

I'm 43 and log every day! Always looking for more friends on my journey to get in shape and stay healthy! Add me and I post daily too, to provide support for others :)

You don't have to eat back all the calories you burn. If you eat some back, the rest won't be missed if your not hungry :P My wife and I started the C25K program last week, was ok, but she says it was kicking her butt. She's 4'10" and I'm 6'4" and all I hear about is how it's so much easier for me to run cuz she runs…

Awesome transformation Jarrod. Hope to add you, I need all the support I can get. Going from 289 lbs. to 200 (I think), if that looks healthy on me.
