I'm Lew... Been at this 16.5 months and I've dropped 200.2 pounds... Anyone is welcome to add me.

The rest of the team USA managed 9476? Really? I just got done w/ run... Fed baby... Check forum to see that!

FYI... My 15 - 45 minutes of stairs is purposely done during my prep period going up and down repetitively in the stairwell of our science building... Are you seriously not wanting to count that as exercise?

Out running instead of sitting around gossiping on the bloody computer... That's where I've been. Finally had a chance to log in during my first period class...

FYI the Brit team of 15 burned more calories than their 20 person team did on any day the other challenge with the exception of a single day... Per person average of 1422.2 was awesome! The US team average per person of 1247.2 calories burnt was higher than the highest daily average in the previous challenge by 97.2…

Just remember last week... You started off pretty well then too...

I'm Lew... High School Teacher... Father of 3... Youngest is 26 days old... Oldest 14 years... Scoutmaster... Youth minister w/ my wife... Only 17.1pounds away from dropping my goal of 212.5! Training to do the JMT this summer in ten days or less...

One fun size peanut m&m bag... 8 peanut m&m's... not bad at all!

Anyone is welcome to add me...

U... Maybe... The brit team? Not a chance...

I'm Lew... Anyone is welcome to add me... Yes that is 194 pounds dropped in 16 months tomorrow... Weighing in on Saturday and it should be over 195 dropped...

Again and its not even gonna be close this time!

PJ is just itching to be spanked...

It's on like Donkey Kong! Count me in for the USA! Mum may be a Hiatt from York... Dad may be a Compton from Compton... but I was born and raised here in California! Have been to the UK numerous times and love it... but for this competition... I'm a Yank!

I'm up to kick some bloody brit butts!

Request has been sent... I'm Lew... Married, dad of three, down 192 pounds in 15 months... Anyone is welcome to add me.

Was in a size 6X before starting this journey 15 months ago... I am now wearing a XL or large shirt... Just put another notch into the old belt... My wife got me a size 38 belt and its too big... I was wearing the King Size belt that goes to 66 and it was almost too small for me when I started.

Have to say thumbs up to the statements given... Eat at a deficit and you will lose weight is the reality... If you can fit the item into your calorie goal then go for it... The problems arise when you are not getting enough food to satisfy your hunger or you are not getting sufficient micro nutrients... Advise from…

Percentages of macro nutrients... Carbohydrate, protein and fat... MFP defaults are pretty low on protein for most people...

Get of the machines and into nature if you can... Most of us spend too many hours staring at 4 walls or electronic devices... I love hitting the road and running or hiking...

I'm Lew... Married, dad of three, high school teacher... Down 190 in 15 months and still at it for at least 22.9 more pounds and probably 20 to 30 more after that... I don't have answers, but my diary is open to friends to use for ideas and I comment all the time. Anyone is welcome to add me.

From Bomburr to Legolas!

I'm Lew... Married, dad of three and down 190 on MFP in 15 months... Welcome and good luck! When you want to drop the weight as badly as a drowning person wants air... You will succeed! When you want to get in shape as badly as a drowning person wants air you will start working out and you won't care if it hurts a bit or…

^^^This^^^ Nutrient rich foods and low caloric density will help overall health and also help with feeling satisfied with the amount you eat. Technically speaking though for weight loss, deficit = weight loss.

Kristin is right... Pick one or two things to work on/improve per week... Master them then move on to the next goal... Anyone is welcome to add me.

I'm Lew... Married, dad of two soon to be three (wife's being induced tomorrow)... 44 today... School teacher down 189.1 pounds in 15 months! Anyone is welcome to add me. I have between 23 and 50 pounds to go...

I've got about 30 to go myself... To the original goal... May go another 20 or 30 below that...

Welcome to MFP... I'm Lew. Married, dad of two soon to be three... Down 189.1 in 15 months... Anyone is welcome to add me.

^^^This is pretty close here^^^ Over striding especially on hard surfaces with inadequate footware... Take it easy and once you start back take smaller steps when you run...

^^^This^^^ There is no substitute for eating right and moving more!
