It worked for me. I lost about 30 lbs and have kept it off for a year by logging my food and keeping myself accountable. But if you can not commit to a new lifestyle it will not work. It is not magic it is just a way to guide you. good luck!

fitnessblender on youtube has a ton of 20-45min workouts. Free and worthwhile

Funny how that "Ad" even used photo tricks to make the "bad" food diet look grim. Dark light and poo posture. Even with the lighting bias and neck bent to accentuate the double chin, the images don't show a huge difference. Reason: they were probably taken the same day several hours apart. As Digital Underground said "do…

Since this thread is about to get locked, I figured I would chime in. I have 4 and love it, none of your business how many kids people want to have. They have kids because they love big families or had a few oops. Doesn't matter! The world is not overpopulated, your city may be. You can suggest that they move out of your…

It doesn't look like a bad diet but the food choice looks pretty crappy. I enjoy my food and maintain now, I can't convince anyone I know that it is that simple so I won't try an internet stranger. Good luck

My advice would be to keep annoying him a little. Have that conversation with him and let him know you are worried about his health, then bug him at least once every couple days reminding him you want to get active ...with him. He is not going to change unless he wants to but you can keep trying to help get him motivated.…

There are lots of Videos on youtube that you could follow. But if you are looking at Beachbody, the POWER 90 series is nice and fairly easy. I still use them frequently. They are very beginner friendly. It is definitely not as hard as the P90X program. $60 http://www.teambeachbody.com/workout-routines/power-90-workout

You are correct that the study found disputable data and about the source was not focusing on supplements. I am perhaps misinterpreting what the study found. I am by no means trying to "scare monger" about Omega 3. I am passing on information I found interesting and has led me to change my mind about taking this…

Good to know and I agree. Fish oil according to many other studies is beneficial to your health. But I am making a choice based on new info to me to cut out the supplements and get the oils from fish in my diet.

Just to clarify I am stopping the supplements. I will just be increasing my fatty fish intake to twice a week.

You should contact them to be in their commercial. I am sure they would appreciate successes like you..

I think you are shorting yourself by using that term, YOU buckled in and lost weight and stuck with it. Awesome job regardless of my opinion of that term. I just don't like giving credit to things that are unnecessary.

I think that anyone using the term "kickstart" is denying the truth and they know it. Truth is you can do it without meal replacement magic. The success story here, if any, is from the OP's deep rooted determination to lose weight.

I use the free endomondo version for iphone and android. it has an interface directly with MFP. I like it.

I second this.

The Right Way is called that because short cuts have difficulties and failure points all around them. To quote the movie road trip "if the shortcut was easy, it would just be called the way." Shakes are a shortcut that will make you lose weight, but without embracing the 'right way' after you will gain it all back. You…

15-17%

When I was 18, I spent a year in korea with the Army but I was never even on a plane until I was 17.

I prepack junk food in small portions, always have fresh fruit, and get some really spicy snacks. A hot snack before then a glass of water typically curb my late night munchies. But i haven't have the urges late at night for a while.

I have been a PF member for almost 3 years now and never had a contract. Depends on where you go I guess. In my area there are about 10 gyms, I have been to most of them and they all have free-weights (up to 75), squat racks, and allow deadlifting. That being said they they are trigger happy with the alarm and that is very…

20 grams of lindt dark chocolate is 10 more calories than your cheese, some people say dark chocolate is good for you.

Yeah I adjusted my goal weight just for a visual goal. When I started to convert to maintenance mode I changed my weekly loss plan from 1lbs to .5lbs per week, which upped my daily calories by about 175. I found it very easy this way but like others said it won't take any magic. For me it was easier than I expected.

I will offer the add, but I don't have any problems with people eating Mcdonalds or cake...as long as there is space left in the goal after. Bad food is good sometimes. staying committed to you goal is what matters.

Not sure what other did, but once I reached my goal I set it to 5lbs lower and then upped my calories to meet .5 lbs/ a week. I did this to allow for the rebound of a few lbs when I transitioned... but it never happened. I go over a few days a week and under others. I have been my gw for about 6 months now +/-2 lbs. That…

Good luck to you all on this. But I think failure is just a paycheck away. It may work for you in the short term but keeping weight off will take a lifestyle change. (calorie deficit)

yeah this-^, I get it you like letting your stuff "air dry" just stay in the corner and away from me. Also do not sit on the bench in the locker room without a towel down or putting some pants on.
