Niacin is a great idea...helps me greatly! Make sure it is "nicotinic acid" (brands such as Slo-Niacin). Most store brands are "inositol hexanicotinate" which will not lower cholesterol. I take 1500mg. of Slo Niacin each day. (might need to work your way up to that dose).

I've had that problem in reverse. I had no concept of how fat I'd become. When I would look at a picture...I wouldn't even recognize myself. I thought it must be the photo...but everyone else in it looked normal. Now that I'm losing the weight...maybe that problem will disappear. It's a form of body dis-morphia. In extreme…

The signature of your post says: "Please checkout my blog and leave comments! (feedback is good so feel free to be harsh!)" In my opinion you can take harsh criticism, because there is no one that can be harsher on you, than you! I think you're looking for a quick fix to a problem that took years to develop. Take it easier…

Are you setting your goals using the automatic guide? If not, it sounds like you didn't adjust your carbs, fat and protein to equal 100%. Jim

That's odd...that pic of you on the couch looks just like my puppy! Jim

lpbw, I'm not a mental health professional...so I can only give you advice based on my own experience. About 20 years ago I was 260 lbs. and extremely unhappy. I worked my butt off (literally) and got down to a svelte 170lbs. I was certain this would lead to my happiness. But no. I was so dejected I gave up and blossomed…

The serious answer is to go to My Home/Profile then click edit photos and add what you want. Jim

They use Photoshop. It's amazing how thin you can make yourself look! :wink: Jim

Thanks for your service...and welcome home! Try walking instead of running. New research points to the fact that walking is much more productive for weight loss...and reduces the risk of injury. Look up Dr. Greg Ellis and others. I hit the 40 lb. lost mark today. I walk 4 miles...6 days per week at 3.5 mph... I ran 1 day…

Your sins are forgiven my child. Go and sin no more! :wink:

A day over now and then never sets me back. As a matter of fact...it keeps me motivated! Thanksgiving and Christmas I ate what I wanted...ok I overate...but I got right back at it...and all is well. Just remember you can't keep declaring one or two days a week as special.... :wink: Just noticed your pic of Mirror…

LOL...1200 calories a day? I'm 6' 270 pounds...If I ate 1200 calories a day I'd starve to death!!! Consider yourself lucky...and keep up the good work!!! Don't under eat...but make sure you've calculated your BMR correctly.... Jim

I struggled with this constantly. If I figure my BMR nutritional needs and back off by 500 calories per day I barely lose any weight each month! So I have to eat 1000 calories less per day. Well I do lose weight..but I'm constantly starving!!! The thing that worked for me was walking at a brisk pace. I do 4 - 15 minute…

I'm up for this...but it's 11:30pm...Thinking is offically over for today. Jim P.S. iplayoutside19 is a wuss... :laugh:

On this site find out your Basal Metabolic Rate...and the amount of calories you can eat to maintain your weight. Then eat 500 calories less than that amount... 6 months from now you will weigh 24 pounds less than you do today! Throw in some exercise if you feel like you want to eat more to satisfy your hunger. You can…

I feel your pain! If I have to eat within my calorie allotment I'm always hungry. The only thing that works for me is to walk 3 miles every day at a brisk pace. This allows me an additional 648 calories and makes life bearable! Tamelab has a point also...eat breakfast like a king...lunch like a queen...and dinner like a…

Grab a 100 calorie pack of your favorite cookies...eat them slow with a cup of coffee or another warm drink. Works for me...
