I go with just digging in and getting more exercise, burn, burn, burn....but don't replace with too much eating :) Last night I had 9 hersheys hugs, I made sure to eat them slowly, savoring the chocolate melting...Even played with the foil wraps in between to make them last longer. They were pretty sweet, so really…

Fantastic!!!!! I just love the before & afters, the joy certainly shines through. Many blessings on your continued journey and on the maintence to follow!!

How very exciting for you!!! Best wishes on a complication free surgery and a rapid and complete recovery!!
-
Best wishes on your journey!! your goal is nicely attainable...I wouldn't cut back so much to start, work into it. A great quote I read today goes like this: gradually rehab your eating habits. Drastic changes are nearly impossible to maintain . A smarter approach , add a new nutritious food to your diet each week, and cut…

Fantastic ~ and looks at those arms ~ WoW!!

Wow ~ lot's of info there but love how he breaks it down into recap sections as well...favorite quote: "So if you ate a can of Tuna with 30gms of protein, that’s 120 calories. Forty of those calories would be used for digesting, leaving you only 80. Pretty cool hey? When it comes to carbs, the body only uses 6% for…

I highly recommend a scale, it is a valuable tool for accuracy....We are excellent at fooling ourselves on portion control :) Most "drug" stores will have them fairly reasonably priced, but do get a digital, the older spring loaded don't work. Pirates Booty is super yummy!! Carrots, celery...depending on what exactly you…

We certainly are funny creatures :~) Always more worried about the opinion of someone rather than the sheer healthy aspects of diet & exercise. Bravo to you for your weight loss, and bravo for not falling off the wagon. I am all too familiar what effects that has on the hard earned losses. Keep up the great work, do this…

Welcome & awesome goals....footprints in the sand rather than a big carbon footprint. Best wishes on your journey!!

There are factors involved, age, weight, level of intensity (easy, moderate, difficult). For example I did an exercise video yesterday that should have warrented me a 450 cal. burn but I know I did not use the same intensity as the instructor so I knocked off about 100 calories from the MFP # to be safe, I also try to stay…

If you focus on getting healthy oils in your diet (MUFAs) Monounsaturated fatty acids....Avocado, almonds, pecans, flax oil, olive oil, olives and seeds...They are higher in calories and you can add most of them to almost anything. Drizzle olive oil on bread, mix flax oil, pecans or sunflower seeds into oatmeal add avocado…

Welcome...I am absolutely loving this site!! Log in you data daily and get a few friends on here that are encouraging, it seems that unlike the ones we see physically everyday, the online friends are much more dedicated to encouragement. Best wishes on fine tuning yourself for great success!!

Cudos for donating :bigsmile: I did a little research and considering the donation and the defecit it leaves in your system, it is natural to be hungry. The other posters make good points. You need the caloric intake and the sugars in chocolate will set off blood spikes and dips. Focus on good slow release carbs, high…

You absolutely can do it again, I am in the same boat (only a little older, well maybe a lot). The choice is entirely ours, and then when we focus on the right choice, it becomes habit, once it is habit it can become our lifestyle....Best wishes on your journey!!

Hello & Welcome!! If you get in with a few people on here you will get tons of encouragement. I am really happy with the replies of others on this site....I get more encouragement from here than I do from people I am in a challenge with that I know personally. So glad I found this site :~)

Thanks again all....Great info here!!

And yes I have spoken with docs about it, have been suffering with pain for years (10+) and their suggestion is always physical therapy, which even after about 4 months I feel worse. I had one doc scribe a pain med that made me completely sick...I don't have a lot of faith in medical advice any more...Back to the basics,…

Great feedback ~ Thank you!!

Hello ~ I just sent you a friend request. I would love to have a few accountability partners on here.

From what I can gather, Basically you ingest a hormone that is similar to one a woman produces while pregnant...This hormone helps your body burn fat as opposed to muscle in starvation mode. You cut your calories way down, to like 500 per day, and end result is weight loss with the focus on fat loss....Problem being that…

179.5 Just starting up on here and hoping for some support. So far I just eat and eat, really need some positive encouragement :~):flowerforyou:

Well I was a die hard Niner fan for years...But that is not so popular in Seattle, so now I vote for the Seahawks. Although they really need to fight hard to really derserve this opportunity :noway:

Hmmm I always thought the weight was before cooking....most of the online sites offer the calorie content different for before and after cooking
