Double post .. deleted. Move along .. Nothing to see here :laugh:

Ok .. I will post this. It is always embarrassing to show the "before" photos, especially when I am not a fan of pictures even now, but maybe it will help other see that it can be done. 6/2003 ~395lbs 56" waist and 4XL shirt The actual weight loss took about 16 months and I have been maintaining since then. In 11/2010 I…

take a screen shot of your victims computer --> set that picture as the wallpaper --> hide all the desktop icons now sit back and watch them click / reboot / click again

For weight loss: I bought 2 new pair of pants (smaller than I wore in high school) and they are a little loose. I also went down a size in underwear. For Non-Weight loss: There is a certain super special someone in my life recently that makes me smile 24/7 ;)

As people have said .. you can drink too much water, but 96oz isn't close. I drink 182.5 oz (5.4L / 1.42gal) of *WATER* a day (not counting coffee and such) .. so you're fine. P.S. as a side note, that how I lost so much weight .. running to the bathroom every 10 minutes LOL ;)

I am SOO glad to see someone else that wasn't fooled by the marketing of this "healthy" oatmeal from McDonalds! And you are 110% correct, an Egg McMuffin is a better choice!

I see we think alike, I have mine set at 45% Protein / 30% carbs / 25% Fat (with a limit of 20g Sat).

yes, but see if I sleep later, it will have been longer since my last meal so I will weigh less .. and here you thought I was just lazy! :P

Saturday morning .. first thing.

Yes (in the AM) Yes - The kind I take requires 6 per day so I take 4 in the AM and 2 in the PM (to spread it out). Yes

Is was one of the things that kept me motivated!! I want from a 54" waste to a 36" or 38" depending on brand and cut.

Wait, you have your mom's permission to have a bubble butt? More importantly .. you NEEDED your mom's permission? :laugh: :tongue: :flowerforyou:

I quit on May 22, 2009 @ 4:47pm CST .. cold turkey and STILL lost weight! First 3 - 4 days will be tough as you have to get the chemical out of your system .. then it will take several months to get the physical and oral addiction and fixation to subside. Good luck and remember the first and most important step is to have…

What SHE said. Water is the only thing that should be counted in your water stats .. anything else is just that ..... something else.

Calories - Fat - Sat. Fat - Carbs - Fiber - Protein

Short answer .. Yes. I had SEVERAL pairs of shoes I had to get rid of (both lace up and slip ons) because they didn't fit anymore because of the weight I have lost.

I eat it plain (and have since I was a kid) .. but there are a couple of other ways to eat it .. CC and Tuna was a GREAT suggestion CC and Tomatoes was another GREAT suggestion (you can use Salsa but watch the stats) CC and Cinnamon is good (add a little Splenda or other sweetner and it makes a type of desert) A new one…

No .. I do not believe it should be added as it is counted in your daily activity level. I don't feel like it is enough of a "challenge" to add because there is too much starting and stopping and getting behind slow people.

Penn & Teller (yes, the magician duo) have a show on Showtime called Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t! In season 1 (ep 7) they talked about bottled water and presented what looks to be most of the same facts as this documentary, including an experiment (non-scientific) to see if people could tell the difference in the taste and…

Saturday morning .. first thing when I get up.

I use NATURE'S WAY Alive Multivitamin. (http://www.allstarhealth.com/f/natures_way-alive_multivitamin.htm) I buy 1 bottle with iron and 1 bottle without iron and mix them together (don't want to get to much iron). I also use the vCap as opposed to the tablets because I don't like "pressed pills" as I don't feel they…

EVERY pound is a goal .. as it is making for a healthier you! Congratulations.

I agree with all the others .. look for PB2 .. you will NOT be disappointed!

Lookin' great! Keep up the good work.

Nope. Different things affect people in different ways. I do agree with all the posters who have said that the whole egg taste better .. I love the yolk, but I am actually now used to the egg whites so it's every bit as good to me. I used to use egg beaters but there are other things in it as opposed to just eggs .. so I…

PB2 ! I love peanut butter and can have trouble controlling my urge once I open the jar. With PB2, not only do you have to mix it, but it only has 45 calories per 2 tablespoons.

For **me** it is the cholesterol and calories. I know that the "Yolks raise your cholesterol" has been challenged and even debunked .... for the normal person. But you see, I eat at least 68 eggs a week so I don't really fall into that category .. not to mention the calories I'd be taking in LOL. And yes, for those…

oh, gee thanks ... you're looking so hott now my computer overheated when I click on the thread and your picture came up. LOL In all seriousness, you look amazing! Congratulations and good luck!

Actually, that's only partly true. There are many models of the Polar HRM that you can change the battery out yourself. I have the FT4 and you can change the battery out in the watch and the actual transmitter with a simple coin or screwdriver.

B.R. here. I guess I am lucky, I never drank, quit smoking 2 years ago and been eating healthy since 2003 (when I made the lifestyle change) .. so this time of year isn't too bad for me. I've learned to walk on by the king cakes without looking back .. except when it's a blueberry filled king cake, then I will sneak a…
