wow man, your apnea was out of control. I never was that bad and my doctor said I had severe apnea...forget what my index was but I think it was like 100 pauses a minute or hour. Congrats on getting healthier. Now keep pushing!

59 lbs did similar for me. Sadly I've struggled to lose more weight.

i have been adjusting for all that. and yes the amount you burn goes down as you get lighter. I was losing 4 lbs a week for like 3 months and then it slowed and eventually came a to half in April. I was down to 210, now i'm 217. I started lifting weights so i don't know if that's what's causing me to plateau. Recently I…

yeah I'm still eating at a calorie deficit like mfp says. about 1400 calories net a day. I wouldn't consider a 1 day move to mean anything. I progressive drop over a couple of week is what means something to me. I never tried going low carb...guess than means no fruits?

ummm, you have body image issues(normal for women)...you have a body most women would kill for. you don't need to lose weight...you almost have the beginning of a six pack. because you are already in such good shape cutting the fat will be extremely hard and really not needed unless your goal is fitness competition. unless…

Good work! keep it up!

I'm not going to blow smoke your way...the after is better than the before, you are well on your way. Keep at it and you will get there by next summer for sure. right now I recommend the 1 piece as a safe choice, not that you couldn't do the bikini if you wanted to but you asked for opinions and that's mine. whatever you…

you nailed it! I'm on a 2 month plateau right now. I know I'm losing fat and gaining muscle...dropped from 38 to 36 in the waist in those 2 months while staying between 210 and 215. I have been doing some weights and I am beginning to see the muscles under the fat of my belly. So I'm making progress just not on the scale…

I will have to check those out next time i'm in there.

I am doing the same stuff you are doing and it has worked out great...i do fruits for snacks and have started eating veggies at lunch.

IT'S HARD BECAUSE IF IT WAS EASY WE ALL WOULDN'T BE HERE!!! Stop beating yourself up and focus and try to do better. Sitting here typing this post whining and crying about it isn't going to help anything. Tomorrow you need to get up and say "I can do better!" and go for it. I had to change my whole way of thinking and…

lol...

LOL too funny

you made me LOL.

I did that in 110 days...but then the rate of loss seriously slowed down. Hoping I get to my goal of 180 lbs by Christmas.

i'm not allowed to talk about she who cannot be named on here...that is all.

so many suggestions i never even considered... we always have apple sauce here for the kids so i will give that a shot too. I'm working on changing the eating habits in the house but it's a one man mission. Hoping I can add fresh strawberrys and blueberries to the stuff i buy more often. Thank you for all the great ideas…

I do agree that moderation is key. But some stuff you can do better on if you look for better options which is my i created this post. moderation + a better option= win!

I do agree with your philosophy.... so many suggested real maple syrup that I will have to look some up on fooducate and try at least 1. I don't think i've ever had it.

you drink the juice or you pour it on the pancakes? lemon juice and pancakes just never occurred to me...will have to try that!

and then i go to fooducate and find this http://www.fooducate.com/app#page=product&id=4134EF46-E10F-11DF-A102-FEFD45A4D471 " Contains controversial artificial sweeteners There is controversy as to the safety of artificial sweeteners consumed over a long period of time.

what you use to measure?

give it time and before you know it you won't want to watch CNN either. MSNBC has like 3 or 4 programs worth watching, real reporting and analysis.

That's awesome! I'm hoping 1 day to do something like that. Make TV time fitness time. Currently I just listen to music at the gym, sometimes news or podcasts.

Congratulations on your success!!

Well done! congrats!

Happened to me before, divorced a year later due to life happening. My advice would that it is ok for the woman to propose. But if it isn't broke...don't fix it.

People who thank God after everything good that happens to them...but when bad news come they start praying to see if God will change that for them. They should be thanking God is what I think. "thank you God for giving me this cancer, I hope to join you soon and that I've lead a life worthy of heaven" Saying something…

I second that!... she is right on!
