Getting back on track with my logging. Have had an unbelievably busy summer...gained 9 pounds, but now I've made the move to get it off again and start exercising and logging regularly.

"For The Love of The Game".

Hey, it looks like a "winning" recipe! Thanks!

I would say, that's a job well done!! Congrats!

The Sound of Silence & Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water...Simon & Garfunkel.

Running is no longer an option, now that I'd like to...bad knees, both replaced. Now, I love to walk, swim, and bike! I'm probably best at biking and am turning my attention that way. Am setting my sights on joining the "young bucks" in our church that go out regularly...fast.

I've done a few things. Egg Beaters (or equiv) with 2 pieces of turkey bacon...or oatmeal w/ raisins...or 1 large pancake with Smuckers lo cal syrup...all with coffee.

My gosh, girl...what great work! Keep it up...you're really looking great!!

I do know that as you approach your goal weight, the weight comes off slower. I'm in that area now. My suggestion would be as some of the others...drop your calorie intake by at least a couple of hundred...at least to start.

I've had this before...when I lost far more than I figured. I waited until the next day and re-weighed for a corrected weight. Don't know why this happens, but I always figure that when something seems too good to be true...double check.

Time to re-focus...that and pass the word that if they persist in bringing things that make your weight loss more difficult, to put it out of your sight...or it goes into the trash. If a particular sweet is becoming too much of a temptation, I let my wife know, and if she doesn't want it or deal with it...I toss it in the…

When I went for a physical, I asked my doctor, and he put me around 180-210. I'm at 204 now, so I'm going to shoot for 180.

Mmm, looks good. Will try when I get my next "ripe" banana. Thanks!

Used to bike...then got busy...put on weight.... Last fall, I started biking a bit...but just too heavy, hit 280 on a "frame" that's built for 178. Now, I'm down to 210 and hope to get back in the 178 range for Spring...and biking. Plan on hitting the roads heavy this year, now that I've got less wind resistance...and I…

Looks good. Won't work for me as I swim. However, I've reached the point where I have to firm up the sections still "floppy" after losing 70. Keep up the good work.

Lots of stuff out there...fruits, veggies, yogurt...there are also 100 cal. packages of munchies that I go to if I need something sweeter...things like ( Brookside ) dark chocolate pomegranate, or Skinny Cow heavenly crisp....

After losing 98 lbs...people should be lining up to congratulate you! What a super job! I've got one person that tells me a strong wind will blow me away if I don't watch out. I've gone from a size 42 waist to a 36...and that's now got penty of room. I'm looking forward to this summer when I can go to Lake Michigan...and…

Seeing that my daughter-in-law is a business major and does taxes during the tax season, I defer to her expertise. That way she also has a clue what's happening as we get older....

That's sad! If you're trying to improve yourself, NOBODY has the right to go negative on you. The only advice I can give is to ditch those "friends" and replace them with real friends...that support you and give "advice" only if you request it. I haven't had any negative feedback, so far, and am confident that my friends…

I'm going to enjoy the night...but will try to use it as a day to stay "even."

Fast foods are for the most part...NOT good for you. If you eat there, you have to be careful, but it can be done. For me, fries are completely OUT. After a bit, you learn how to adjust. Any time I go out, I drink water for instance. If I know I'm going fast food, I check nutrition out before, so I know what I can afford…

There are Cubs fans in baseball, why not LIONS fans in football...even though we're going to have to re-focus for next year....

Log in daily, if possible...and get a few friends that will encourage you and also give you ideas...if you need them. By staying on track, this site has done wonders for me...and my friends have helped every step of the way!

My favorite, is to grill them. The other way we do them is in a cassarole with rice.

Rude behavior is NEVER acceptable! I'm getting close to 60 lbs lost, and people really didn't start noticing until I lost about 30 lbs. Part of the reason, I think, is because people don't want to say the wrong thing...like asking a woman if she's pregnant. You've got to ignor those who are rude and just go on...eventually…

I agree...SWIMMING!! Right now, I'm dealing with spinal stenosis...so this helps me out a lot. Right now, I swim 3X a week and do 7 laps per morning...my results show how well it works!

Gotta have fruit with it!

Hi, my name is Bruce...I'm on the old side...65, but if you need encouragement and more friends,I'm here. I know only too well how helpful friends can be.

Give up?? Why? I'd say you look great! Now, this is a man's viewpoint....If its the stretch mark...they'll pretty much disappear in time....

My first reaction would be to tear a hide off the person at school. This child looks pefect for her age! This is an example of our current "nanny" state....
