Would love to do this. I was down 30 before the pandemic started, but gained it back. Would like to eventually lose 80 lbs to get to around 180-190.

I wish I had seen this thread earlier. I ordered the trial and was instantly charged $8.95 for shipping on the trial, and another $105.90 for what I guess is another package as well. The order form said the only thing I would be charged for was the $8.95, and after that I had 21 days to cancel. I ordered several hours ago,…

Damn!! Talk about commitment! I'm heading to NH on vacation in two weeks and I hope I can SOMEWHAT keep in my calories for each day! Too easy to blow your daily limit with New England Clam Chowdah!

Thanks for the welcome Beeps! Hope your car issues get straightened out. In April an ininsured guy ran a red light and my wife & I hit him at 50mph. That's been fun. Then we replaced that TSX wagon (family car) with a 2014 Grand Cherokee in Mid April and it has now been in the shop four times (shut off WHILE DRIVING once,…

Here's mine (echoed here on MFP): http://www.fitby45.com Cheers!

I hear you. Part of my afternoon "snack" is pistachios and almonds (eaten with an apple). I'm getting to the point where it's just too many calories to be eaten for a snack. Trying to figure out what else to do. The peanut butter is probably the worst offender. There's no "light" peanut butter, is there? :)

Just sent an invite to a bunch of folks here -- if you want to add me, please do! I'm 44, going to be 45 in January. Trying to get back on the wagon, from which I fell last August when I stopped the Power 90 and MFP. Started again on Monday! Cheers!

Wow. A club just for us? How cool! I'm going to be 45 in January and my goal is to be fitter than I have been since my teens by that time. My wife and I started the Power 90 back in August and made it 30 days, felt great, but then my son had his 5-year-old birthday. We had 50-60 people over, in our backyard, and it was…

Ah - gotcha. I thought my daily workout calories were pretty steady each day, so the numbers should be stable, but I guess they differ from day to day. Thanks!

My wife and I have been eating clean for almost four weeks now. On Thursday, we celebrated my 5-year-old's birthday at Friendly's. My wife and kid ate pretty healthy, but I decided I was going to splurge and have a 1000 calorie burger, a side of fries, and a sundae. It was delicious. But then, to put it delicately, my…

For me, it's a matter of balance. I've set up MFP with a "sedentary" profile and configured it so I will lose 2 lbs a week. Working out ALLOWS me to eat a little more,and keep my energy up. I figure my regular meals according to MFP are just what keep me going during the day, without a workout, and target my 2lbs a week.…

Way to go!!!

Not just helpful,... Awesome... Best post I've read in a long time. In fact, I think I'm going to print it out and make sure I read it at least once per week. Thanks again for taking the time to post it.

What a great goal! And congratulations? I am also "MORBID" and should set getting off that list as my first goal!
-
I will let her know!! Great ideas!

I tried the NutriBullet last night for the first time. Could not get past the ice. Started to smell like it was burning. I kept blending, and it still couldn't chop it up. We have had a beehive Oster for years and it kills everything -- ice, prunes, whatever you can throw at it. I just bought an ice blade when I saw they…

My wife and I are just getting started with the Power 90 DVDs. We're two weeks in. We exercise late, around 10-10:30pm. For a while, I wasn't eating anything after dinner, and I was just gassed by the workouts. Well, ok, we are just starting, so I expected to be a little tired, but the workouts were tough. For the last two…

You have to just cut & paste the parts inside the img: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d107/Lilmissocial/Waitloss.jpg Lookin' good! I have to tell my wife this. She has a lot less to lose than I do, and I think she was discouraged when she actually gained weight after starting to watch calories so closely and starting…

Cliff White Chocolate Macadamia... Oh my, yes... Peanut Crunch a close second...

Almond milk rocks!! People weren't meant to drink cow's milk. We don't have a compartmentalized stomach like a cow does. I LOVE almond milk and use it in everything - cereal, shakes, alone. My 5-year-old son is stuck on Oat milk though, which is harder to find. Would love to get him to almond milk, but unfortunately it's…

I'm in for 100 lbs! Please anyone feel free to add me!

Yep! Blogging here and mirroring at http://www.fitby45.com. Feel free to send me a message and I'll link you!

My wife buys mostly organic. The benefits have been pointed out earlier in the thread. When I see the difference in price, and being the sole breadwinner in the family, it's tough to go along with it, but I understand that the food is not only free from synthetic fertilizers and such, and probably has more nutrition, but…

The pushups are killing me too. The 7-7-7 is not within the realm of possibility, nor will it be in the near future I think. There are things I don't look forward to with the Power 90 - 7-7-7, "plank" (please, god, not "back to plank"), the jumping jacks (too much belly for those just now), the run-thrust things, hop…

AWESOME!! And so great you're showing others how to do it!! (checked out your Facebook page)

My wife and I started last Sunday. We were both feeling under the weather on Wednesday, so we thought long & hard and then took the night off, thinking it better to rest than to push ourselves when we weren't feeling good. Got right back to it the next night and am feeling much better today. Glad to see others starting…

Just started with the clean food this week, but things I will probably miss: Pizza, McDonalds, potato chips and other snacky treats (was never one for sweets, but I loved chips, cheetos, etc.) Things I will have as a treat: Ice Cream (on a nice summer's night out with friends/family), Coffee (trying to kick the habit,…

Thank you for this. I just started the Power 90 and MFP and using the tools here I was ending up about 400-500 calories under what MFP said should be my "target." Four days into this, I was just tired all the time, and my mindset took a turn for the worse as well, where I had been so enthused and energetic about this…
-
Excellent tip. For so long, I never though about how these can all add up over just even a week. I think if I allow myself treats, it's going to be the occasional ice cream out at the shop on a nice summer night with my family. I'm not going to feel bad about it. What I will NOT do is keep it in the house. Not even a pint.…
