More than a newborn giraffe...

I live in Toronto now, and am a trade-mark lawyer. :-)

I've lost 126.9 pounds... 42 pounds to go...! :-)

I'm 5'9" and looking to reach 165. At the high end of the normal range, but a good weight for me. :-)

I have the Ultra (which is the precursor to the One, I think), and I bought the Zip for my partner. The One and the Zip both sync with a USB dongle and wirelessly. The Zip is battery powered, while the One is rechargeable. The One tracks calories, steps, distance, stairs and sleep, whereas the Zip tracks steps, distance…

My keys to success (so far) have been to gradually improve my diet or exercise over time, and consistently working on my healthy eating and workout plan. For example, I started by cutting out diet Pepsi and switching to water. Then we started cooking meals at home rather than eat out. Then we started cooking balanced…

We love avocados on toast with a poached egg and drizzled with olive oil - YUM! Or on its own, with a salad, or as guacamole. Now I'm all hungry for avocados...!

Height: 5'9" Age/Gender: 45 yrs. female Highest weight: 333.9 lbs (it was probably higher, but that's what I weighed when I dared hop on the scale) Current Weight: 221 lbs Lowest weight: 155 as a 19 year old; 165 as an adult Goal weight: 165

I used the Jawbone UP briefly before I got my Fitbit, and I have to say that I hated the UP band. I found that the manner of syncing was clunky (you had to plug it into the audio output for your iPhone), the cap that covered the end kept falling off (finally lost forever after it fell off in the street), the app was…

We're not identical twins, but perhaps fraternal twins [grin] Age: 45 Height: 5'9" Start Weight: 333.9 Current Weight: 232.6 Goal Weight: 165

I am 45, turning 46 in October. But I still feel 36... ;-)

I broke a chair. Literally. We were having dinner at a friend's place, and enjoying some after-dinner conversation when the chair I was sitting on completely collapsed, dumping me on the floor in front of a room full of people. Yes, it was a cheap chair, and yes, it had been assembled poorly, but it was my gigantic butt on…

I use the Glucose companion app, and find it helpful for tracking my sugars.

I met my partner (the Nerd) via online dating (lavalife.com), and we're coming up on 11 years together in the spring. It takes time to connect with someone, and in all of that I find that communication is key. I had several men reach out to me when I posted my ad, but I only responded to those who had a well-written (i.e.…

The Nerd and I eat a lot of our meals from the Jamie Oliver Meals in Minutes cookbook - - I tend to bring leftovers from dinner the night before with me to the office as lunch. :-)

My experience will be much like others' here - - I regained the weight because I went back to my old habits. When I first lost weight I worked out 6 days a week, but hated every second of it because my cardio was all stuff I disliked - - the recumbent bike and a ski machine. I starved myself during the week and binged on…

I am 5'9" and my goal weight is 165 [eventually]. I started off at 333.9 pounds, but have lost more than 90 pounds to date, so I am more than halfway there. I chose my goal weight myself - - no doctors involved. 165 pounds puts me in a normal BMI range, and I know from past experience that I will be in a 12/14 at that…

My partner and I are on this path together. Although I started before him, he has set some great stretch goals and now tracks his food and makes a point of exercising every day, just like me. He is very supportive of me, as I am of him, and it is not a competition. We both enjoy our increasing fitness and health.

Apps I use every day: Fitbit Withings (for the blood pressure cuff and wifi scale) TactioHealth - nice overall snapshot of health on several metrics Digifit Lolo Beatburn Elliptical Glucose Companion - for tracking my fasting blood sugar iFitness Pro HD - lots of exercises and workouts Fitocracy Apps I do not use: Withings…

I used the Gympact app for several months this spring, but ultimately had them cancel my account. I found that I had customer service issues over and over again - - first they charged my credit card more than $300 in "missed workout" charges even while sending me congratulations emails for making my pact (apparently the…

My partner (the Nerd) is amazingly supportive. He started cooking out of a Jamie Oliver cookbook last winter, and now does virtually all the cooking for both of us - - healthy and balanced meals, all of them. After a few months he noticed that he was losing weight by simply eating what I was eating, and he liked what he…

Count me in...!

Money for Nothing - Dire Straights

I'm 5'9" and I am shooting for 165, which would put me at a size 12/14. I know from experience that with my frame, that's about as low as I can/should go, and it puts me happily in the normal range.

I am 5'9", and a robust frame, if I can call it that. SW: 333.9 (!) CW: 268.4 GW: 165 At 165 pounds I am about a size 12/14, which looks good on me. The lowest I have ever been as an adult is 155, and that was a bit too small for my frame, I think.

I am 45 now and have 103 left to lose - - I started off with 168 pounds to lose. Because I was monstrously, morbidly obese I started off with what I could do ... in my case, 7 minutes on a recumbent bike, 5 days a week. After a while I was able to step that up to 10 minutes, then 15, etc. I took it in easy stages, though.…

Wow - you can totally see the changes in your face! Way to go - keep it up, you're doing fantastically well!

Good sense of humour. Considerate to his mother and to servers in restaurants (how a person treats their parents and servers tells you an awful lot about a person) Intelligent. Goal oriented. Good work ethic. Compassionate. Loving. Emotionally supportive. Whimsical. Likes snuggling...and where snuggling can lead to. Good…
