Let's be honest. It really depends on where you started from. If you were 140 pounds and you tried it. If you were 300 pounds that is really only about 15% body fat. I have lost about 23% in 6 months. However, the last 2 months have had the scale not moving at all. You left off where you started from, it is easier for a…

I started here at 5'11" and 288 pounds. I have a personality where I make "Friends" at the gas station. I have lost 67 pounds. I find people looking at me at odd times. My goal is to still get to 200 pounds. I don't want to look sickly. But This was the first summer at the beach that I took my shirt off. Thus get…

NSV = Non Scale Victory

Going to say something. First take you see a woman with nice "features". Then you start talking to her. Well most of the time they can't hold a conversation about much. Then you start looking at her friends the "normal" that were invisible at first. The ones that have a personality and shared interests.

Lol, at least it was a week. I stayed at the same weight for 3 weeks. Granted I was loosing inches, but the scale was my #1 enemy for those weeks. Just remember it took you a long time to gain the weight, it is not a race to get it off, just feels like it. I have plateu'ed a few times. Just keep doing what your doing and…

In the beginning what I did was drink my one soda (Mountain Dew) 20 oz. Then I would fill that up several times and keep drinking it. Same size and a little bit of the taste the rest of the day.

Does it have a bar code? I try that first.

I usually order the following: 12' Oven Roasted Chicken on Honey Oat. -American Cheese (2 Slices - Give me some but down 40 Calories). - Spinach - Lettuce - Tomatoes - Cucumber - Green Peppers - Red Onion - Salt and Pepper - Vinegar and Oil (Sometimes) - Light Strip of Ranch for flavor. I use the meal function to add all…

Day 1 (err 85 days ago). Lucky Charms (With the Whole Grain Guaranteed) with 2% Milk in my Normal Bowl. 473 Calories later.... (2 Cups of Lucky Charms and 1.5 Cups of Milk). [1/3 of what I should be eating the entire day] Had to re-think the whole breakfast concept.

Well I was having issues with my knees. I went to a running store and after they saw me walk and stand they recommended a different style of shoe. Then they fitted me properly for a pair of walking / Running shoes. I was wearing a size 1.5 too small. Now I have less pressure on my knees when I walk or attempt to run. I…

Look I have a friend that had lap band. She would pop her band off and eat anything she wanted. Fast forward 4 years. She now has a sleave. Can't pop it off, has lost 68 pounds and well she is not moving smaller by any means. She doesn't eat right, she doesn't exercise, she cheats anytime she thinks she can. I have lost 42…

Check this: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/target-heart-rate/SM00083 Mine "Target" is between 125 and 152. My Polar Heart Monitor uses the same zone. At 153 it starts chirping at me to slow down.

I use an application on my phone called MapMyRide. MapMyFitness.com But I use it when I walk and ride my bike to tell me how far I have gone.

I have been doing P90X or my version of it. Granted since I have the Pear Body type I can't do everything they are asking me to do. But I do my best at it. Doing the CardioX portion about 44 minutes of exercise time I burn 420 - 460 calories. Yoga for 51 minutes was 587 Calories. When I walk using the standard MFP…

First thing I do when I walk in anywhere. Do you have the nutritional facts? Then I look a them for something that work / I can live with. If Part one doesn't work I look around the menu and look for choices then I use the app on my phone to search for the restaurant or something close to it. And go from there. My thing…

Truthfully, I have mixed feelings about it. I haven't noticed ghost steps, but I wear the FitBit and an Omron Pedometer. They have different numbers all day long. The FitBit tracks flights of stairs the Omron tracks Aerobic steps (10 minutes min). I think anything will work as long as you follow through with it. I do like…

I have MyFitnessPal FitBit MapMyRIDE - Tracks walking, Running, Biking uses GPS to tell you how far you went.

Make yourself happy. I was always trying to please everyone. I want to lose weight, not to get Jacked. I want to take my shirt off and not be embarrassed in public. I want to set an example for my kids that if you want something you can do it. I want to get to a normal BMI, I want to live to a ripe old and an enjoy life.…

PB2 - PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter (http://bellplantation.com/) It's what's not in PB2 that makes it so good for you. For starters, our special process removes 85% of the fat calories without the chemicals typically used in producing reduced fat foods. Something else you won't find in PB2 is preservatives. What you will find…

I let the fitbit take care of everything. Log food on MFP. Log exercise on fitbit or with fitbit. It will give you a calorie adjustment. My only suggestion is to make your weightloss plans the same on both sites.

Waves, For years I worked in the middle of the night. I delivered the Newspapers (For almost 20 years), at one point I was drinking eight 20oz Mountain Dews a day. I gained weight to the point I was almost double my high school weight. People asked me how can you do it? I told them one day at a time. Honestly, I have no…

When I hit my goal weight I am getting a Sphinx with Iridium Frame Sunglasses on my Right Shoulder.

I have been tricking myself anymore. I drink Mountain Dew throwback. I know bad for me, but it is made with real sugar. I have really been watching trying not to drink or eat, high fructose corn syrup. Then I fill that twenty (20) ounces bottle up at least four (4) times and drink eighty (80) ounces of water. I can't /…

Lol, this is one of the reasons I am trying to lose weight. Funny I know exactly where you are playing. My son used to go to training there. As long as you don't run into the walls you are good.
