I think you're cheating by using high-heels in the second photos.... ...and I approve of this message... :smile: *hits up Amazon for some free weights...*

Jibi-hibbi-jeebus... You're gorgeous... :smile: Congrats!

Really cool read. Enjoyed the pics... ...well, almost all of them... :)

This is why there needs to be a permit process prior to breeding..

There are two averages - the second-to-last column on the right is the average loss-per-day during the period since the last measurement. The last column is a sum of total weight loss divided by total duration up to each measurement. For the last few measurements (which weren't consistent durations apart if you look at the…

Thanks for the replies. The geek in me enjoyed figuring out how to use the "=forecast" function in Excel... :)

Well and that's kinda the point here - looking at the big picture instead of just what's in recent memory. And in case SOMEONE reads this (who I suspect WILL read this,) I forecasted out from this point and learned that I SHOULD hit 199 on 12/7/2012. You've been warned... :laugh:

I'm curious if you "plateaued" during your weight loss and if so, how you managed to get through them - not necessarily mentally, but just what you changed in your routine to resume weight loss. It's a common topic around here, and an "event" that I find myself in frequently. Congrats - I can say I know how you feel, and I…

Who the he!! eats oatmeal....?

All me. :) Cats are like sports cars - I want to collect them all. :)

Gunner - Adopted from a local home Maria - Adopted from a local shelter Tynwald - literally rescued from the neighborhood where someone dumped him off as a kitten. The. Best. Cat. Ever.

Thanks! I just hope I can lose a few more before the next plateau... :tongue:

Hate to say it, but it's a much nicer graph than the MFP one...

"Cheat meals" (usually a dinner out) have never worked well for me. Sucks too, 'cause we almost always end up eating out on a Friday or Saturday night - when NEITHER of us want to cook - and I've seen weight-gains of 2-3 pounds the next morning. And of course it can take a week to get rid of that, at which point I repeat…

Another half-pound gone this morning! I'm really starting to enjoy mirrors lately... :)

Absolutely nothing at all.... :)

*cough cough*... I'm feeling a little sick right now... :) Congrats

I had success with things like honey-roasted almonds. They're sweet, but not nearly as calorie-rich as cookies, etc. I'll also enjoy a diet soda sometimes - I know they're not great for ya, but it's still better than a regular soda! There are also some decent sweet offerings from Atkins and Weight Watchers. You'll pay a…

Just thought I'd revive this thread with an update. I change my MFP goals from 2 pounds a week to 1 pound, and it added 500 calories to my daily intake - about 1900. I started aiming for that and was surprised to see myself quickly fall back to the 214 range. It hovered there for a little bit, so I started aiming for 1700…

As I've been making my own pizzas at home (spinning the dough and all!) I thought I'd "weigh in" here... There are basically two elements of pizza that will affect your weight-loss efforts: the crust, and the cheese. LUCKILY low-fat mozzarella cheese has less calories-per-serving than cheddar, and parmesan cheese has even…

Okay THAT was funny!!! :-D

How about you stop asking OTHER people for life advice, get off the internet and go spend time with your spouse? This is the biggest problem with our society - people have NO idea how to function, and they turn to social media on the internet of all places for solutions...

Gyms are overrated and ridiculously over-priced. And if you're uncomfortable in an environment, you're not going to be successful. Period. I too hate gyms, and I'm a guy. They smell, they're loud, nothing feels comfortable or familiar, and quite frankly, I don't like being surrounded by people when I'm sweating, panting,…

Daily, for all the reasons stated above. I record only when I've lost from my previous, lowest number, and even then only when I've kept that weight for a few days. I've recorded several times, so I must be doin' something right. :)

You can just set your goal to "Maintain current weight..." All it'll do is increase your target calorie intake. I mean, MFP doesn't tell you what to eat no matter what your goal is. It's just a math engine.

Wow... I've got some reading to do... I'll take a look at some of these sites and come up with a plan. The truth is that I DID lose weight without counting pretty much anything at all - just being smarter with what I ate, cutting out sweets and beer (my sweet, precious beer...) and just trying to move around more. When I…

I pretty much eat homemade dinners with fresh meats and vegetables. I don't really even do any frozen stuff except the occasional bag of vegetables. Nothing canned. I have seen some other sites that suggest I might need more calories. I've been trying to increase slowly, but my biggest fear is I'm still not getting enough…

AHEM.... See. Avatar.
