Great story. Just what I needed to hear today. Congratulations - and thank you.

Welcome back. A bump in the road from which you recover by coming back to this site and continuing to try is not a failure at all.

Awesome post. Very motivational. Keep up the great work.

I always wonder this in general with my HRM. If it says that I burned say 900 calories, do I need to deduct the number of calories already accounted for by my general lifestyle since MFP is doing that when it gives me my caloric goals?

Been there, done that, and don't plan to do it again. Twenty-three years ago I lost over 100 pounds by dieting - the Pritikin Diet that time. Over the years, the weight would come back on 20 or 30 pounds at a time. I'd try to take it back off by dieting - 1200 Calorie Diabetic Diet, Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, etc. -…

The good thing about the wagon is, that if you let it, it slows down and you can hop right back on it. It sounds like training will be an excellent way for you to do this. Good luck.

Addicted is the right word. I love these things. I can't believe how creamy they get when you stir them.

Very encouraging. You are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

What an awesome job. Congratulations.

Thanks. It was especially nice because one of the situations involved a buffet. I thought I might be doing well when I noticed that I was eating less (and more healthily) than anyone at our table even though I still had a full salad plate and a fair looking dinner plate. No dessert though. I didn't think I could handle…

For breakfast I've been eating two pieces of Sara Lee Light bread, toasted, with one serving of Egg Beaters and a half a serving of Laughing Cow spreadable cheese, and I have to remind myself to eat a mid-morning snack. That sandwich, plus about 3 cups of water, keeps me full until lunch time. The calorie cost - 138…

Bud Select is only 99 calories and doesn't taste too much like a light beer. They even have a Bud Select 55 that only has 55 calories but taste a little on the light side.

I'm taking a trip to Goodwill to get rid of all of the fat clothes I have always saved "just in case" as I've rollercoastered my way through weight loss in the past.

Laughing Cow is great stuff. I had it this morning spread on two pieces of light toast with a scrambled egg beater on it. I only needed half the wedge and I got plenty of flavor all for only 165 calories. And it has stuck with me all morning. Very satisfying.

Yay!!! Another Hoosier. We know you can do it. Good luck, and enjoy the site.

You are awesome!!! Good job.

Wow! What an inspirational group of fellow travellers. You guys are great. Thanks for all of the positive posts. I think doing this alongside you all will truly make this if not easy, easier.
