Bring some jimmie hats....just in case.

I have to go to a work "luncheon" tommorrow where they are having pizza and tacos...I have debated in my head what i am going to do....i decided that even though every one will think I am extremist dork eccentric, I will pack my own lunch and eat it, instead of eating crap. If I have to cheat, I'm going to do it with…

Take baby steps, don't make drastic changes you won't be able to keep up for the long haul. The #1 thing that absolutely made the biggest difference was tracking every single stinking thing I put in mouth, even if the truth was uncomfortable to see how much I was really eating. Tracking my food lead to BIG changes...turkey…

I've noticed my weight loss seemed to happen in "waves" where i lose nothing, nothing, nothing, then BAM one week 3lbs comes off, the next week 2, then nothing, nothing, nothing. I wouldn't stress about it too much. it does seem like you are eating very little. The calorie counter MFP has seems to be correct, and that when…

No one wants to see naked dudes.

Congrats for having the courage to take control of your life.

5' 11" 41 yo currently, started at 250+ (too embarrased to actually weigh myself). i am currently 195. my belly is in it's final stages of deflation. I had a huge gut, the first 10 lbs showed nice progress.

FOR THE WIN!!!!!!

WOW!!!! im enjoying the brown sugar and cinamon flavor with thomas bagel thins right now!!!!

Take small simple steps that you can stick with, rather than making big drastic changes that you won't be able to stick with. If you don't do any exercise, start with walking 10 minutes a day 3/4 times a week...build up to an hour at a time. If you drink soda, cut it down to the weekends or something you can stick with.…

Hey man...at least your head is moving in the right direction. I'm 5' 11", i was 250+,know I seem to be vacillating around 195 consistently. When you have a set back don't say to hell with it, and give everything up, just resolve to be stronger tommorrow. I have a long commute too, and the best time for me to workout is…

It's funny you would mention that....several women at work asked me what i did to lose weight...what the secret is...when i tell them diet and exercise, they look at me like i had two heads....Like you should be able to lose weight by eating chai rasberry ketone yogurt or some pill or something.

I have a miata. Both of my butt cheeks fit IN the seat now. I used to have to drive with my left butt cheek on the thigh bolster.

Doctors don't always know what's up. My doctor said losing 50lbs in 18 months was "too fast"..I said...ummmm...okay. That's an average of less than 3 lbs a month....

If you aren't hungry, don't eat the exercise calories, and especially don't eat cookies or what not.

You have bigger problems. You aren't eating enough calories (assuming you filled in your info correctly).

Don't drink at all. Have some good tasting water like Pellegrino with lemon or something. Beer is one of the first things I cut out...look at my ticker..i stopped drinking beer, and BAM, weight loss...alcohol is poison in more ways than one.

HMM, why not have chinese food then?:smile: :wink: :happy: :tongue:

Sorry, not possible in this short time frame.

I don't like working out, but I like the results, and i am not motivated enough to just work out at my house...plus i would feel kind of stupid, and i think I would get bored easily...so I prefer to go to the gym. I'd say go the gym...they will probably have spinning, zoomba, and all kinds of other crap to keep it as…

I get up at 3:30AM, Im at the gym around 3:40 or 3:45AM. At first I was embarrased to go in the evening and have everyone pointing at the fat guy that could only do 10 minutes on the eliptical...but as I lost weight, I tried it in the afternoon, and I hated the crowds, So i went back to 330AM to have more machines to pick…

Get a heavy duty model like you might find in a gym. I tried all kinds of cardio machines (all kinds) at the gym, and the elliptical seems to work best for me. But honestly, I hate doing the stupid machine..it's boring. I bought a super expensive bike (expensive for me anyway, about $700)...it's aluminum and carbon…

MMMMM Tanesha.

If you are in the USA, look on craigslist for used weights, a bench, and BAM, you're done.

Why would you do that? Chicken, pork and Beef are delicious.

What's wrong with DANONE?

I usually try to eat before I go to bed.

THICK used to mean curvy, but the word was re-purposed to be a nice way of saying fat. It's just another one of those little examples of definition creep.

My weight loss hasn't been linear, it seems like I lose weight in "waves"...my fat feels more watery, and hangs a little, and doesn't feel as hard when I'm about to lose some weight, and then BAM, it's gone, my skin tighens up a little after 2 weeks, and on to the next wave. Patience grasshopper.
