Blood pressure was 145/96 now its 121/77!

Focus on being and finding the total package. We are more than just looks! We are also more than just brains! The old Marilyn meets Einstein scenario... Marilyn Monroe upon meeting Einstein, insists that they should have kids. She says "Imagine them having my looks and your brains!" Einstein replies, "My dear this can…

Try out some old techno... Or some U2... The War Album has a pretty consistent beat. that drives..

A Flock of Seagulls may get you running, oh that's right you wanted music...

^^^This^^^ Find your real TDEE and try some maintenance and slowly creep the weight downward if its truly necessary. Especially if the doctor had suggested 190... Focus on muscle tone and fitness and resort to an occasional weigh-in as you edge yourself toward goal focusing on fitness level rather than the simple number on…

OCD... At least I have it redirected into something that is positive. :wink:

Forget Ugly Crappy Kilo measuring devices (scales)... Is your pulse rate lower? Is your blood pressure lower? Are you faster? Are you leaner? Do you float lower in the water? Are you wearing a smaller size? Are your clothes looser? Forget the scale and focus on your health at this point! From your pic, you look like an…

I'm Lew... Down 144 since July 1st. Anyone is welcome to add me. My food diary is open to friends. I log everyday and respond to just about all posts by my friends and answer their direct questions.

I'm Lew, down 144 since the first of July and a bit less than 70 pounds to go. First, don't diet... Diets end. Change your lifestyle to be a healthy lifestyle and accept the fact that sometimes you won't eat as well as you would like to... Own what you decide to do though and track it to be steadily improving your health.…

If you also have some parmesan then do some eggplant! The other suggestions of spaghetti squash, yaki(yucky) noodles will work... When I want pasta though I just do whole grain Ronzoni or Barilla to get a good taste and high fiber.

A cup is 8 fluid ounces... So eight cups is one half gallon. As in I drink 16 cups per day... One gallon of water daily. Anyone is welcome to add me if they would like. Plan on being here for another 50 years keeping myself honest even after I do get down to goal.

I know that feeling of disappointment. I was 425 pounds on the first of July. I knew that I'd let myself go, but really? I am now at 281 pounds after a bit less than 9 months. 144 pounds dropped... If I can do that by watching what I stick in my mouth and moving my fat butt a bit more, then you can too! Anyone is welcome…

It is tough to be consistently under the sodium level especially if you eat out! As long as you are getting 1000mg on average or more per day you are probably just fine most of us are striving to be under the 2500mg level daily and its not always easPr

^^^THIS^^^ Listen to the man! If you wanna go a bit lower then drop to 0.85 if that isn't getting it done after two weekPr

Thought my Dr. was going to have a heart attack when he saw me yesterday... Last time I was there I was 100 pounds heavier back in Sept/Oct... My blood pressure was way down and he was shocked and amazed... Felt great. People started to notice at 40 pounds or roughly 10% of my body weight dropped. Now people really notice…

BMR + 10% + half of exercise calories is a decent place to start...
-
Eating a bit over BMI is always a good idea to make sure you get enough nutrition, but the exact TDEE varies based on how much exercise you do use the 10% over BMI as a baseline for how much you should eat if in doubt... Adjust up if hungry and have worked out a lot... If BMI is 1400 then 1540 calories should probably do…

Welcome! Been here 8 months and 138 pounds are gone... Father to two, three this coming October... My wife had also dropped 35 pounds... Anyone is welcome to add me. My diary is open to friends and I comment all the time! Best of luck... Strive for two kilos per month... Be happy if you get slightly more since you only…

Statistically speaking every breath you take you inhale an exhaled atom from each person that has ever lived on earth... I'm pretty sure that includes both Christ and Charles Manson... You take the good... you take the bad... Its the facts of life! Those of you over 35 or so might get that... A single atom or even single…

Too true Jackson... More calories is not necessarily an answer... Two weeks of no loss is not a plateau after three weeks of steady losses... Its adjustment by the body and retention of fluid... 3500 calories deficit is not one pound of fat loss! It is the energy stored in a pound of fat. If you are not hydrating properly,…

Friend request sent... Anyone is welcome to add me. 138 pounds in 8 months, log just about everyday... my diary is open to friends and I give advice when asked for it. My wife had dropped 35 but October 12th I'm due to become a father of three... I will retire before that one is out of high school... Yikes...

Awesome job! No one has any excuses, only rationales that aren't really rational! You rock!

What works for me is to avoid higher carb foods later in the evening... Peanut butter, almonds, Greek yogurt, protein shakes, protein bars all seem to do the job for me. My favorite lately is to blend a chocolate protein shake with a few frozen strawberries... Tasty but it also keeps me satisfied through the night. I…

Herniated all five major lumbar discs T12/L1, L1/L2, L2/L3, L3/L4, and L4/L5... I understand the pain... 1. If you have access to a pool start swimming... The weight release and the movement will be helpful. 2. Glucosamine... Take it! 3. Pull up style exercises... I use the total gym... Isolation weight bearing exercises…

Anyone is welcome to add me as a friend... 138 pounds in 8 months and still dropping about ten per month. I'm Lew a father of two. My wife had dropped 35 and is expecting in October... Good luck and keep improving at what you are doing to reach your goal of being healthy and fit!

25 - 40% body fat on most women is extremely appealing to most men... Myself included... Less than that and it is not good as was mentioned for reproductive health and it really isn't as appealing to most men either...

212.5 half of my start weight... I may drop lower than that but it seemed 50% of my body weight was a great place to start. I've dropped 138 in 8 months and I'm still dropping about 10 pounds per month.

Anyone is welcome to add me... I'm Lew, dad of two, three in October! My wife had dropped 35 and is now obviously not dropping... I'm down 138 in 8 months and still going strong. I provide lots of feedback and my diary is open for friends to get ideas from... Good luck to everyone on their health goals. I plan to be on…

Anyone is welcome to add me. I plan on being on here for the next fifty years and plan to log everyday. I've dropped 137 pounds in eight months and have about 75 to go. I've only dropped on person from my friend list because he posted a pic of himself in a thong... Since bulimia is not part of my plan I clicked remove…
