This may sound rude, but it is true in my opinion. You have motivation. You state that you want to get healthy for your children and yourself. That is very good motivation. USE IT! Stress is something everyone has to some degree. Use that as well. Turn it around. When you feel stressed, get up and move. Exercise instead of…

You want to lose 140 lbs overall. Your calorie intake is 1300. That's not enough calories per day. I don't know how you have your settings, but you need to go back to the 1800 per day. I weigh 186 and my recommended settings are 1,780 calories a day. Starving yourself is not the answer. I am at a plateau as well. Just keep…

I'm in the big middle of 'Where am I?!?" AKA Arthur City.

Points from my view (opinion). Take the "Guided" option when setting things up. Realize that your body can go into "starvation mode" and store what you eat as fat. Setting your own goals might work, but can cause problems. Exercise is wonderful, but he trick is to get the heart pumping. If the exercise you do is not…

I'm retired for the moment. Not sure how long that will last in today's economy. Live in the country (read: Between "Where the heck am I?" and "Nottadamnthing"). I also maintain my web site. (countystation.com).

Sounds like time for a trail mix of some sort. Nuts, raisins, Wheat and Rice Chex cereals, popcorn and stuff like that. Search for 'low calorie trail mix recipe' and you'll find some stuff.

You say what you eat, but not what exercises you do. Be sure to log your exercises. Those make a difference in you calories. If you walk, ride a bicycle or whatever kind of work you do, log it. If the exercise you do isn't listed on the database, got to "healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc" and see if t is there. Then search…

This is meant to be drunk hot, but your choice. You can vary the ingredients. I like cloves but they are not required. The ginger gives a warming feeling. The honey is where the calories come from so go easy. The cinnamon has some good properties as well, but I don't remember them all (helps stop sinus drainage?).…

May have been mentioned, but here goes. Rolling and tumbling in bed trying to get to sleep because you know you have that <insert what it is here> tomorrow and need to be rested for it,. That's gotta be worth something. :)

Just keep going. I don't think it unusual to lose fast at first. See this blog post from me and know that I am no expert. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Kreacher12/view/weight-and-losing-weight-fast-261698

So here I am. Just a grouchy old House Elf. Thanks to wendallb for giving me the link to this site and telling me about this board for the over 50. As time goes on, I'll try to post some insanity and other stuff.

Two eggs over easy (fried with just a spray of cooking spray) and two sausage patties. Yes, it's a lot of calories, but low in carbs and high in protein.

Who burnt the most calories? You or the c at?
