    in Question about having a lot of calories left for the day Comment by rmkeech1 February 2013
  • I lost about 70 pounds between 2009 and 2010 and then fell off the wagon and put back a little over 30 by the beginning of 2012. Started up again at the end of May 2012 and have lost 18 so far. The first time I lost the weight it was almost exclusively by doing cardio and watching calories. This time around I've added in a…

  • I have a lot to live for! I'm surrounded by awesome friends and family and I enjoy being able to spend quality time with them. And I just feel better when I weigh less!

  • At the age of 37 I've finally decided to start working on a degree. I've been lucky on the job front, my first career was 17 years with a large national retailer where I spent the last 10 as the mid-Atlantic Regional Manager. And I currently work for the county I live in as the Deputy Director of a department. But I've…

  • That's great! You should be proud, you've come a long way!

  • Staying motivated is tough. I get motivation from my partner and a really good friend that supports me (and gives me crap when I slack off) and from reading posts here and on other sites that make me realize that I'm not the only one who sometimes just wants to give up. And from feeling better! It's wonderful to be able to…

  • I just got back from 11 days at Disney World! I didn't track at all, just tried to keep an eye on what I was eating. BUT I didn't skip anything I really wanted either (including drinks...lots of drinks), it was after all my vacation! Came home and was up 2 pounds, but I got back to my tracking and exercise routine and it…

  • Because I've got a great life and a lot to live for. And also because I'm sick of feeling like the fat guy when I hang out with my thin good looking friends.

  • Cut out soda, keep track of calories and make smart eating choices (but allow for cheating now and then), and get exercise almost every day.
    in what was your most effective method to loosing weight Comment by rmkeech1 January 2013
  • I was in much the same boat when started trying to lose weight several years ago. A couple years ago I lost about 80 pounds over the course of a year. Sometimes I'd lose a pound or two a week consistently and then go weeks with nothing. Then all of a sudden I'd drop 5 pounds in one week. The weeks when I'd lose nothing…

  • Good for you! I agree that after what you've been through you'll have success again! I'm getting back on the wagon myself after having lost about 80 pounds in about a year then regaining 30 when I slacked off. I've realized that I need to focus more on the lifestyle changes and slow loss more than the quick rewards. We can…
