I saw this same exact calculation in the Better Homes and Garden New Dieter's Cookbook, page 11. I have used it once before when I lost 40 lbs. I wish I had stayed on it before. You can build a spreadsheet for your weight in one pound loss increments to get a better understanding of where you need to be at different weight…

To air is human.

I think the best concert I have been to was Paul McCartney when I was in Vegas. Had front row seats and back stage passes. He played for almost 3 hours with only one intermission. It was the best ever.

What is your TDEE? You should probably set your goal to be about 20-30% less than TDEE. Instead of it becoming a journey, think of it more as a healthy lifestyle adjustment. Don't become concerned with mere weight loss. I did that before and put most of that weight back on. I am committed to changing my lifestyle now. Just…

I somewhat disagree with your cavalier thought regarding cholesterol. Approximately 70% of a persons cholesterol is developed internally while the remaining 30% is ingested. The average person should maintain a range of 125 mg to 200 mg of cholesterol to be considered healthy, this is even more compounded if you have…

I guess I like it in between - not really soft but not extremely hard either - I meant them - lol.

My all time favorite is Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown.

For me, the biggest difference is in the amount of salt I taste in foods. I generally stay away from processed foods but if I go out to eat, I notice how much salt has been added. I am now making my own meals with fresh vegetables and watching the sodium in everything.

I speak Australian, Canadian and some Great Britain (still having a hard time putting the "R" before the "E" as in theatre versus theater) in addition to my native English.

I track cholesterol instead of sugar.

When ordering Chinese, ask them to make it WITHOUT MSG. Will cut a lot of the sodium out of that food.

The intake at 1000 mg of sodium seems very low - thats about half the suggested daily limit of 2000 mg to 2200 mg. Many fresh foods have sodium, for example, a medium raw carrot has approximately 60 mg. I agree with the others to stay away from processed or canned foods completely. I watch my intake and have not had a…

I just read another post dealing with this topic. It is entitled "Starvation Mode" by SHBoss1673. That post makes a great deal of sense regarding the starvation process. I suggest that you read it to better understand the steps that take place regarding starvation. Don't be fooled to think it doesn't exist.
