I haven't changed my weight on my driver's license since high school. I am actually back down to that weight now, I use it as a reminder of what I used to weigh for motivation.

I'm not going to lie to you, the first two weeks is hard. After that it's all down hill. Once you see the pounds melting off and you start to realize your portions and calorie intake, you will have achieved a huge accomplishment. It's not a lifetime diet.....it's the first two weeks. That doesn't sound so hard does it.…

I log it, if you are tracking calories, Would you add hamburgers to your MFP if you eat hamburgers everyday? Your still burning calories. Doesn't matter if it's routine or not.

Bi Pro whey protein is a great supplement for protein. You can check it out on the Web.

Bi Pro has natural whey from a special process. I use this product and give it 5 stars.

Also take your protein in the morning within an hour of waking up, your body needs the protein and you'll get a little energy boost in the morning, besides protein on an empty stomach will help you burn fat just by digesting it.

Not so true about using outside of weight lifting. Your body needs protein to maintain ad rebuild lean muscle, when dieting your losing muscle and fat, so need to feed your muscles so you don't lose them. You need your lean muscles to help burn fat. I don't know if they sell this in your area, but Bi Pro is really good!

You will learn from my fitness pal as you go, I've learned not to stick strictly to the calorie count. I keep my metabolism guessing. My caloric intake is 1450, sometimes I will have up to 2100 calories, maybe once a week. This gives me a reward for following my diet and believe it or not, the lbs. come off faster. You…

Congrats on your new "start" to your healthier life. I can be a lending ear, if you need one.

That's wonderful, I chew and quit, did the same thing.....gained 30 lbs. started this my fitness pal and and lost 40 lbs. what would we do without our wives! She too got me started here.

Congrats on becoming a "Fitness Pal". If you use this program you should have no problem losing the weight. My wife and I are doing the same thing as you and you hubby!
