Has a peanut allergy

Indian but I do not cook it. I actually only cook 2x a month. Daily cooking is in microwave. I am pathological I know but my work eats my whole day and what it does not eat gets taken up with paperwork. I go out once per 4-6 weeks and get my fix and just eat whatever I want that day. Usually go over to 1700 net cal and…

Once a week and nearly daily if flying/traveling (about 20 days a year). I do not cab ...I walk everywhere to meetings and such so I can usually fit in a 300 cal burn over the day when traveling. I also switch to breakfast that is light, one meal a day which is a late lunch/early dinner, and light PM snack in hotel room…

I would find this insulting as well (if someone showed up and did this). I do this for my sweetie but it is for convince because I cook some things like indian and italian (or brownies) that he has not mastered but he enjoys... but I do not manage his meals or care if he goes out. It sounds like you do not see similarities…

I saw a photo of myself from a party last Jan (2014) and I was horrified whenI looked at it I could not believe it was me! I do not know why the mirror did not do that to me. I did not realize how slowly from high school the weight had piled on over the last 14 years.

hurts hurts hurts and hinders!!! My work is stressful and a matter of life and death. To boot I sit all day and do not have breaks. I could just eat my weight in candy if I did not plan the night before and pack my meals!!

pilates - burns like fire - lie on your side (yay lying down my fav part) lift leg up and down without letting it rest in the down position. Also go up - tap in front when down - then up - tap behind when down. Do not go too high up because if above 40 degrees you "rest" by letting weight go to your hip. Do quick rapid…

I lost my 1st 25 lbs with walking only - I have added yoga stretching and occasional dancing now - I walked 30 - 40 min 4-5x a week @ 3 mph

good luck

(*) You look so good! congrats!

The only thing I do is walking Okay not true - I have done a tae bo stuff maybe 20x but I walk 6/7 days 2 miles minimum (40 min)

an average 2 year old

your walks are plenty (- fellow 30 minute a day 3 mph walker!)

I feel like I work slower also I stumble if I am focused. It feels unnatural for me to not move my arms!

Welcome Dave - Great job making healthy but realistic choices. I think you really have the hang of it. Looking forward to your success and health for you and your Son. You are ( and will be ) a great inspiration.

I love friends! Anyone can add me.

I like walking 15-30 min a day and 1 hr on sundays it is something I can stick with!

I have a crazy busy life too ( sometimes work 24 - 36 hrs without sleep between work shifts and home). What may help you save time and money is planning: - Grocery store 1x a week would cost you 1 person around 25-30$, look for sales or specials: my fav is the vegge pasta barilla carrots and tomato one, sometimes it is…

I am SW 184 to now 169 took me 3.5 m to loose 15 but all or mostly fat I hope.

I am strongly motivated by food. If I do my workout I get a extra 300-350 calories and still stay in my goal calories. Thats all the motivation I need whoo hooo the things I can eat for 300-350 cal (pizza, cookie and milk, ice cream) 1200-1300 cal is too little for me to eat because I like the feeling of taste and eating…

Add me I read the title as need FRIES and I almost freaked out with excitement.. as if you would have some for me. ..

I agree parents are the worst because it cuts you to your core. I distinctly remember a few of these occasions. There is something terribly horrible about growing up in a asian family fat. You are often the only one (my father at maximum weighed 140 lbs) and everything from a bad grade to a broken cup can be blamed on your…

Numbers and math do not lie. I have lost 12 in 110 days. But I am eating like I can do forever so I know by end of the year it will be 30 lbs... and I know I can stick with this as it is not too depriving or restrictive and I have traveled, partied, and gone through all my emotions while on my current plan and it still…

Dexa is not for body fat. It is for BMD - Z and T scores compared to 30 yo and Age matched peers.

Mine depends on when I work. I like my heaviest meal post work so if I work night - brunch. If I worked days - supper. I wish my snacks were more than my meals because I enjoy them. I just can never find convinent snacks and my favourite snack is milk and sometimes after 2-3 cups I am too full to eat vitamin rich…
