You don't even look like the same person. Mine has changed a lot. I have gotten a lot of "wow you have lost some weight" from everyone. Its great to hear. I dont have any pictures though. I just went and got a Costco membership and comparing that picture to my DL or my badge at work and its a major difference.

And I agree.

I am exactly with South Dakota.

I am doing low carb. I have been dieting and exercising since May 9th. I cut my carbs down to around 30g a day. I still seem to manage to eat either right at or just under my calorie goal for the day. Its not too hard. You actually have to eat more sometimes because you won't be as hungry. The other night I was way under…

Chicken and any green veggies. I just ate beef brisket, with steamed veggies and green beans. Was great. Eggs and Bacon is another easy one. Low carb fajitas. I use Mission Low Carb Fajita Sized Tortillas. Tortilla sliders with the same tortillas. Salad of course. Just pick a protein and a green veggie for dinner. My wife…

Instead of eating go exercise. Go for a walk. Mow the lawn, do some gardening, something to keep you busy. Boredom does not help with depression.

Water and Fiber. Water and Fiber. Water and Fiber.

You have never turkey hunted have you? Last time I went I think I clocked about 25 miles of walking per day looking for a good Tom.

I agree. Food is fuel. Nothing else. Yes its wonderful and yes you should be allowed to enjoy that double cheeseburger when you want. But eating for comfort or boredness is a serious problem. You can see in other countries, NK/China, where food is not as abundant, the population is fairly skinny. NK is actually in a food…

I hope to weigh under 200 by Chrismas. 200lbs is my goal. I should reach it well before then at the rate I am going.

Thats great. I am up to about 3/4ths mile before I start to die. Running is something that is extremely hard for me. I can do the elliptical machine for hours. I can bike for hours. But I cannot run worth a crap.

This is another reason why I am eating/drinking so much protein. I am losing weight fast. I don't want to lose muscle. I have not lost muscle and actually gained strength as well while losing weight.

There is organic protein like soy protein, there is hemp protein as well that i have seen at Trader Joes. You could just eat lean meats like Chicken and Fish to get your protein. Whey is just rated the best.

Drink it like a boss! lol.

I use Pure Protein from Wal-Mart. Chocolate. I like it a lot. I use a blender ball which makes it mix very smooth. I mix it with soy unsweetened milk. This is my breakfast just about every day. Some days I get up early enough to cook a couple of eggs and a link of chorizo. I am doing low carb. I still never exceed my…

I personally do not like eating a big breakfast. I usually don't have much time to do it either. Therefore I drink a protein shake. I like them. Protein not only builds muscles, but increasing your intake can increase your metabolism. I do low carb, so I drink a low carb protein shake in the AM, eat something for snack,…

I drink coke zero and diet energy drinks. I am low carbing it. It hasnt slowed my weight loss down at all. I am down 30lbs since May 9th. I love soda, that was my bain and coke zero is my savior.

Good job! Keep it up!

MFP has had all of the information for the restaurants we go to. If I am eating out during the week I choose lean meat and steamed veggies. I don't like salads as a meal. However, I have been allowing myself to eat "normal" on one weekend day. On those days I just eat whatever seems good and I eat only until I am…

You look great man. I started at 255.5 and my goal is 200lbs. I am 6ft 2in.

You need to do some research. There are plenty of foods that are low carb. For instance, a good snack I have been eating is Fages 0% Yogurt, 1/2 cup, instead of a full cup, 1/4th cup of blackberries and raspberries each. Its around 5G of net carbs per serving like that and the carbs that are net are good fruit carbs. There…

I am doing low carb right now. High protein, good fats, good fiber, good carbs (when I do have them). I keep it around 30g of carbs. I have been doing it for about a month now, but I did take one week off due to a vacation and just ate "normal" I guess you can say. I have lost 20.5lbs in that time. So three weeks of gym…

That is absolutely hilarious.

I don't lose weight on low calorie very well. Low carb works very well, but if you fall off of the bandwagon and don't follow the plan you will gain all if not more weight back (ask me how I know that). You MUST follow the schedule through induction to maintenance. It does work very well. High protein, good fats, low bad…

Thanks Cris.

Unfortunately I am limited on time at the gym. I have three children, one of which goes to the childcare at the gym and they close at 8PM. The earliest I can get to the gym is like 6:45. So I do 45 minutes of cardio and then whatever I can. If you have any suggestions on a routine that would fit in that timeframe I would…

Its just being really sore. I stretched correctly after every routine. I am sore in places I have not been sore in for a while, which is a good thing. Thanks to hip adduction and abduction. My glutes, hams, calfs and quads arent really sore. My lower back is a little sore and the inside of my thighs are really sore.

I have been walking 30-45 minutes a day for years. However, with this new goal of weight loss and actually dieting I have been going for about a week. I have been working out two days in a row and then taking a day off. But I want to go more. The only muscle group that is being used constantly is my legs because I do…

I have been eating them raw lately on my salads. However if you want to make some Guacamole then you can do the following. I am from New Mexico and this is how my famiily has always done it. 3 Avocados 3 roasted green chiles (or more or less, depending on how much you want to taste and how hot it is) 1tsp Garlic powder (or…
