nickoner01, i like the guessed ounce practice. Also i see you suggested cardio, I actually only did cardio from the beginning, which I am up to about 5 miles at a jog, or two to three if I am doing intervals. I added the kettle bell weight training to start the toning up which is actually starting to show some results.

I drink bourbon, and I just added it to my totals for yesterday and it changed a lot. Apparently when i started losing the weight I was so heavy that even with the drinking I was losing weight just by changing my diet. But now that I am almost to my goal the drinking is making a big difference

judging from the comments it must be the alcohol. I will start including it in the totals and see how i do

really great suggestions!! I dont weigh at the same time, i have weighed in the morning, today i weighed at 4 in the evening. And while I have not been lifting, I have been doing more work with dumbells, and general stuff like push ups etc, that I did not do before. I was only jogging for a very long time and added the…

thank you guys for all the comments, its good to know im not alone in this feeling. Just yesterday I got several comments and as I have said it really made me feel good like I had finally gotten to a point that I could just be proud of my achievement and stop worrying that I have not gotten to my goal yet. Well I got home…

used to never eat breakfast, but the more i got into running the more i needed energy to increase my distance. i tried running last weak without breakfast and i felt like i was about to pass out. So now I make sure I east something. My breakfast ranges from 350-450 calories.

I did not read through all of the comments, i read the OP posts and her comments about her husband. It is none of our place to tell anyone what to do in a a relationship. I myself am going through a divorce right now and many will look at me and question why am i leaving such a great woman. You see my wife is a good woman…

It has been a little over a year and I have lost 100lbs. It has been a long journey and I have had to re-think how I see food and why I eat. I used to eat because I loved food, but now I still love food but I eat to live healthy.

have you seen her las t few movies? Far from goodie goodie

Ok since when did the President become a celebrity. He is the leader of our country, like him, hate him, or whatever, I think it is demeaning to the position he holds to trivialize it as a position of celebrity. Understanding I do not fully back Obama or his political beliefs, I just think the position of President demands…

Bill Mauer, Rush Limbaugh and every other extremist political analyst

There will be bad days but you jsut have to remember that this is a process. I have lost weight a few times in the past and I gained it back becasue it was not a life change it was a diet. Being a man i usually lost the weight pretty fast also, but as I said it came back pretty fast also. You say you are losing weight so…

1. Retirement is many years away and I want to still be able to enjoy it when it does get here 2. My daughter told me it was sad to see me so big 3. I could not tie my shoes without losing my breath 4. I want my wife to react to me with my shirt off the way she does when she sees Ryan Gossling 5. clothes are just cheaper…

although my timeline does not show it (i began my journey a few months before I started tracking my wieght on MFP) i am almost down a hundred pounds from where I started. If I could do it i know that you can. This is a great site with constant encouragement. i do not have a large group of friends but it does keep you…

I do not know how common this may be but my decision to change was based on tying my shoes. I could no longer bend over and tie my shoes without losing my breath, I thought something was wrong with me so I went to my doctor and found out that I was 340 pounds. It was time to lose weight.

outstanding achievment and i love the way you found what worked for you. Congrat's and enjoy your new way of life.!!

how a woman carries herself. women are beautiful, but a confident woman, not arrogant, but confident is the most attractive thing I see in a woman.

very interesting that I am in such a small percent, but I love short hair, not shaved, but short. It looks more carfree, I can see the beauty in the womans face. It's easier for many woman to maintain short hair which is a plus to me becasue I get up wipe my head and im ready, why shuold i want my wife to struggle with…

not a container but a whole medium pizza without a struggle, a large, but I will need to have about a ten minute break between halves

wear a size 38 jean, run three miles without stopping, and wear any shirt i pull out of closet

Im a guy but I kow what you are saying. I have been a 44/46 for years and while I would love to believe I have finally approached the 38 range, I just have a hard time believing it. I knew I lost some weight so I bought a size smaller jean which is a 42. Well they are huge, and as I said I would love to think I have…

pick a box of girl scout cookies and I have eaten a whole box of them at one time or another.

way to go !!! It's a long slow process but it is well worth it. Congrats and continued success

4:30-4:30 here, and no cop or anything, im actually a lab analyst and on my fifth 12 hr night and two more to go. Sick and tired, but get a few days off after tuesday night.

A few years ago I was in a dads and daughters dance recital and the outfit for the dads was a one size fits all santa outfit. Now last I checked santa was depicted as a big man, why then was mine split on every seam that the pants and the top had. My daughter just hugged me, but I was humiliated, expecially at the sight of…

Good morning everyone, I just saw this thread also. I have been back and forth on this site for about a year, but this time I am determined to reach my goal of not only an appropriate weight but also a full lifestyle change. I turned 40 at 310 pounds, I turn 42 in two months and I dont want to be 300 at all. at 288 this…

Hi, I have been on a roller coster with this weight loss thing, and now I mistakingly joined some co-workers in a weight loss competition. I need all the help and encouragement I can get just to stay motivated to compete with these guys. Thing is i'm fat, they just want to slim up, I think im going to be paying up at the…

If you find yourself becoming judgmental then you need to stop and ask yourself what are your flaws and imperfections. What one person sees as disgusting another may not. Overweight people do not disgust me because I am one, and although I am well on my way to correcting this health problem, I pray I never forget how it…

1200 really isnt enough. If I had to maintain that few I would truly pass out from lack of nutrition. But then again I am not rushing my weight loss. I have done that before and lost a great deal of weight, but it all came back on becasue I could not sustain that way of eating. I have enjoyed this tool and has helped me…
