To improve my cardio function and lose weight, to have more stamina and energy.

I generally get an attitude with people who give unsolicited advice, especially when they eat nothing but trash. I've lost 53 pounds, I think I know what I'm doing, especially since my medical weight loss program is monitored by doctors, dieticians and others. There have been people who say I should or should not do…

I agree. I would never allow my 10 year old to have an iPhone or any other type of cell phone for that matter BUT that's me. Most of the kids I see that age who have cell phones can't act appropriately in using them, not to mention they are so naive and give their number out to anyone and that's just asking for trouble…

I say a big fat NAY to cheat days. While it was not technically a cheat day, last week my wife and I were both craving Chinese food so we decided we'd eat out at a local place. Horrible idea. Despite being very careful with not only what we ate but with portion sizes, this decision elevated my blood sugar beyond acceptable…

Healthy Sponsors don't bring in the big $$$ that McDonald's and Coke do. If they did, less people would be obese and in poor health. I recently watched an interview with the Executive Chef for McDonald's Test Kitchen and he said that if people would stop buying Big Mac's and the like, McDonald's would have no other choice…

I like it! Booker T was an amazing tag team wrestler in the old days with his brother Stevie Ray. He's a 5 time World Champion and has accomplished more than a lot of other African Americans in Wrestling. It's something different. I personally don't watch Smackdown unless it's live on a Tuesday night. There are a lot of…

I lose more weight doing cardio than anything else, especially cardio in the pool. The medical weight loss program I am in has us do cardio and weight training. The heart is a muscle and every muscle in your body needs to be strong. :-)

I don't believe any of the charts. When I began with the medical weight loss, I told the doctor and other professionals working with me that my goal weight is 280 lbs. That's my ideal weight for me and I'll be thrilled to be there. Set a goal and go for it. Don't over analyze charts and graphs and what "they" tell you.…

every three weeks.

I bought one for my wife and she loves it. We actually found it on Craigslist, brand new for $50.

That is simply awesome!!! Congratulations to you! Ketosis is the way to go for sure. Like you I am being monitored by doctors and nutritionists, but it's why I've been able to lose 53 pounds in 3 weeks and still losing. When done correctly, under medical supervision, it is extremely beneficial.

Literally just wrote a blog and surfing this site....

This is a GREAT topic. Just the other day I posted a blog on my site entitled "My Weight Loss Bucket List." Go on a hot air balloon ride with my love. Swim with Dolphins with my love Ride an Aqua Cycle Water Trike Buy clothing from regular stores Go to Mortuary School Become a motivational speaker (as a hobby) to share my…

Can SW LEGALLY do that to you? No. They are a giant corporation and think they can get away with anything. Here's what I suggest. File a complaint (you can do this online) with the Attorney General's office for the state you live in. File a complaint with the United State's Attorney General's office. File a complaint with…

Never happened to me, do you have a pop up blocker on your browser?

LOL

I grew up just north of Morgantown in Point Marion, PA. Born in Morgantown, Mountaineer fan for life.

My sister-in-law is 30 and was the same size and after about a year of weight loss with diet ad exercise her breasts became noticeably smaller but appeared to maintain shape and firmness and were not hanging to her knees or anything like that. One of the other posters said it best, it truly depends on how much is fat and…

I know this is not what you're wanting to hear, but if he's not in agreement that he needs a lifestyle change then he will be unwilling to do this journey "together." You might want to consider "tough love." If he says, "I want to eat out." Respond by saying something like "You can eat out but I am not going to because I'm…

Just saw this post. I only use the pool for jogging, in fact, 90% of my weekly workout is done in the pool. Being a bigger person it's much easier to do things in water, plus I do not have the pressure of my weight coming down on my feet and ankles. I fractured my left foot in multiple places last year after I developed…

I would suggest that if you gained 5 pounds over night there is another issue. When a person is trying to lose weight, they need to do light weight with a lot of reps to tone the muscles, not get themselves ready to power lift in the Olympics.

I have two so far. On my upper, left arm, I have "Isaiah 41:10" which is my personal life verse and says, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. On my right forearm I have the word "Forgiven" in a really…

It's never too early, lol. We're not fair people and besides our fair ended last week here in Union County. Maybe go out to C-Bus.

Monday's exercise was ended up being pretty intense cardio... about 200 steps (as in climbing stairs) and about 2 miles of power walking. I'll be so sore when I wake up, lol

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease so therefore I have to be gluten free and I do well with it for the most part.

Hi, I'm Brian, I'm 36, from Ohio, but definitely NOT a Buckeyes or Browns fan. Steelers and WVU all the way! :D I began my weight loss journey at 430 pounds and thus far have lost 42 pounds. My goal weight is 285 and I will get there eventually. :happy:

While I don't eat Salmon often, when I do, I prepare it on the grill in the form of patties. Some fresh spices and herbs, a little red pepper and lemon juice and a hollandaise sauce for the finish and delicious is what it comes out. :D

I've faced discrimination but the haters can hate, I'm not doing this for them, I'm doing this for me. Remind her that the people with the most weight to lose, who do it safely and successfully, are the ones who get the television and book deals. Dr. Phil and the New York Times could care less about someone losing 25…

Let me first warn you that men lose weight A LOT faster than women. Through a medical weight loss program (monitored by doctors, dieticians, behaviorists and exercise physiologists) I lost 40 pounds in 2 weeks. Yes 2 weeks. I'm not joking. A very strict 1200 calorie eating plan where 600 of those calories were from New…

When Deb walked in and saw Dexter killing Travis. That was the best scene ever. My second favorite scene was as Dexter was killing Trinity and without being direct, Trinity told Dexter he already killed Rita. That was just WOW!
