I have not ate breakfast but twice in over a year. I use intermittent fasting. I have had great success doing a 12/8 feeding window.

I gave up ice cream. Now I do have it on rare occasion as a treat, but for the most part I traded it in for Greek yogurt.

Turning 40 was a huge thing for me with my health. After spending more then a decade over 300lbs and coming close to 400 I felt like it was time to change. I quickly discovered that I wasnt 20 years old and able to do the things I used to do when I was fit. But I stayed with it and have done better then I could have ever…

To me.. any human that takes their body to the higher levels of fitness I am in awe of them. As much hard work and dedication as it has taken me to lose weight, I can only imagine the sacrifices they make to achieve those levels. I don't give a damn if it is a male or female you have nothing but my respect. Beauty is in…

bump it up :)

I am very happy! I feel like a new person! And you know it is the simple things that I appreciate the most. Being able to fit into a booth at a restaurant, riding a roller coaster, walking up stairs without feeling like Im dying. And libido? GOOD LORD! I feel like a teenager again! LOL!!

About 20lbs.. but now folks that havent seen me in a while freak out when they see me LOL!

Im still on the BP meds but the blood pressure is improving. Hopefully in a few months I can get the doses lowered a lot or get off of them completely. I just want to be as healthy as possible.

Good morning! I just want to keep this thread going! So bumping it back to the top!

All who posted to this thread are welcome to add me as a friend and follow my page on facebook "Changing my life one pound at a time". My ultimate goal is to lose 164lbs. Im over half way there!

If Im going to have a protein shake I will get a real one. Something like Optimum Nutrition or Dymatize. But thats just me.. I do believe that you can get fat loss from the workouts but Beachbody is a pyramid scheme. I got nothing against t25 or beastbody or some of the other things but I dont like the approach and…

word!

Anyone that's looking for an add feel free to add me and check out my food diary to see how I do carb cycling. I don't put on here what I do for exercise because MFP is seriously lacking on strength training stuff.

Have any of you ever tried Paleo or low the low carb version of paleo?

Everyone has different reasons for what method they choose to use to lose weight. There are many folks out there that have to have surgery or they are going to die. Sounds scary but it's a fact. There are risks and possible complications with any surgery. Any time you go under your taking a risk. The real issue with…

I could not agree more. With my wife having surgery I have gone to the meetings with her. I have been to the doctor and listened to everything and all the risks. Having surgery is a huge step and one that for some folks is unavoidable. I have the same admiration and respect for folks that have the surgery as I do the…

That is awesome and everything I have been thinking since I been here. And for sure all true.. 1200 calories is BS.. Im just saying

http://chrispowell.com/carb-cycling-101/ here is a link to a good explanation of carb cycling.

Just remember that a caloric deficit doesnt have to be so extreme that your body goes into self preservation. At 295lbs Im doing 1700-1900 calories on low carb days and 2500 calories on training days. I have an occasional cheat meal. But the cheat meals I try to keep to once a month. Also I found tracking your macros…

I know one of the BIGGEST things that has helped me is adjusting my calories to the right amount. I started out not even counting calories. I just went to the store and bought what was considered "healthy" foods and attempted to cut out the junk. For exercise I was just walking. Then I added a gym membership and started a…

Well done!! I recently hit 94lbs lost and can't wait to hit 100!! Congrats on your success!

Hey there, my name is Perry . I made a commitment to change my life on July 17th 2013. As far as Im concerned this is a second birthday for me. I was borderline diabetic and on tons of medication. With my 40th birthday approaching in October I reached a breaking point and knew I had to change or face going to an early…

I have found that using intermittent fasting has worked very well for me. But along with using I/F as a tool I have also tracked every macro I have consumed. So I know everything that is going into my body. That is what has helped me to lose 84lbs
