It's a marathon, not a sprint. :smile:

When I set off the doctor's office counseling alarms after weighing in at 302 back in December. That "3" was a zinger and I surrendered to the truth that restaurant booths were not getting smaller. Looking forward to Friday's visit with the doctor. Not too often you get to say that.

About two weeks. Results starting to swing my way again.

Especially tasty with strips of steak and some cheese added.

Both of you should read Men Are From Mars...... It did two major things that helped my relationship with my wife. She learned and came to appreciate that men need some alone time/man cave time. I learned and was relieved that when she vented about things at work or other stuff, she wasn't expecting me to solve the problem.…

Congratulations. Don't you just love that feeling when you notice your old clothes don't fit any more because they are too big!

One of my favorites it 2 -4 Hershey Kisses and a small glass of skim/non-fat milk. Take them out of the bag and put the bag away (out of sight). Let them melt in your mouth, washing them down with sips of milk. Gave in a little, didn't rack up a lot of calories, almost always satisfies the urges. Another treat I am…

I had a total knee replacement last November and bicycle riding is one of surgeon's "blessed" cardio exercises. I did 12 miles today on a nice Rails To Trails run and had no problems. For you though, without knowing the nature of your knee issue, you may want to seek guidance from the medical folks. Also, a thumbs up for…

Target is 1970 a day when balancing intake and exercise. Most days I am a little under, some days I am a little over. What has helped, is that I have not denied myself any of my normal foods, which could you some improvement there but that is another battle to work on. I have lost about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week so far.…

Welcome and good luck. I know the feeling about hitting that number and saying to yourself, dang - i have to get serious about changing the way I take care of myself. Just remember not to become a slave to the scale, let your clothes and the way you feel also tell you about your progress.

Thanks to MFP I started paying attention to what I eating. I have not given up any of my traditional foods, but I do manage my portions and since I am religious about recording intake, I don't eat just for the sport of it anymore.

Break your target of 40 into 8 mini goals of 5 pounds each. Give yourself a month for each. A series of mini successes will keep you motivated and optimistic. If you break those targets faster you will be even more satisfied. Look for other signs like fitting into the clothes that were shoved into the back of the closet,…

Just the 16 I have lost so far has had a great influence on my right knee. When I had the left knee done, my arthritis was bone on bone. That of course just made me want to sit around and not do anything active, which of course meant more weight gain. if you have a Y or pool nearby, watch for some water based fitness…

I have the app on a smart phone so I have made a habit of entering the meal or snack ASAP. If I do miss an entry during the day, I almost always check email before bed. For me, tracking helps me focus on my decision making. I know if I treat myself to item X, then I will need to pay more attention to what i eat later in…

Thanks everyone.
