Steven, I'm Mike, feel free to add me! I started just over a month ago and was at 342!!!! I feel your pain and your determination!

I'm going to quote something that you wrote... " Maybe I am minimizing things, but I feel like those aren't good excuses because if it is not those things, there always seems to be some major stressors in our lives. We can't wait until those stresses are gone to start, because there will always be something else." They are…

Special K chips and Crystal Farms light cheese wedges Hard Boiled Egg Fruit lite or lowfat yogurt carrots, celery, any kind of vegetables you like

Feel free to add me. I've got a slightly longer way to go than you. I try to log in everyday, and I'll offer any support, encouragement or even a kick in the butt if that's what you need.

I too am not a morning person! Can't see myself getting up at 5:00am to get my workout in before getting ready for work. I did enough of that when I was in the Army. I get up a little earlier since I have been doing this MFP thing so I can get my lunch ready. I try to do my workout as soon as I get home from work.

Awesome job! You're an inspiration to us all!

Once a week on Monday's (it helps me not to splurge on the weekends).

Unless you are willing to spend a lot of money for a high end dial type scale, go digital. It will be more accurate than the dial, and as said in the other posts, solid flat ground is best!

Feel free to add me! People on this journey need support, encouragement, ideas and maybe even a kick in the *kitten* when they fall off track! If you're committed to doing this, please don't hesitate to add me. You have the right mind set, you're doing it for you! You are the only one responsible for you.

Go back and read your post! Your thoughts are definitely right on track. I didn't take a week to gain the wait, you're not going to lose it all in a week. You seem to know exactly why the scales didn't change. Don't fret over, continue to do what's working for you. Get past it and forget about it! It's done, it's over, you…

Feel free to add me. I've been on here a little over a month and am having pretty good success, at least I think so. I too have a long way to go, actually a lifetime if you look at it that way. Reaching the loss goal is only part one, staying there is the long, hard part! I log on pretty much everyday and love to help when…

I've been using the Wii Fit Plus with pretty good success.

This is a great site, and there's a lot of people willing to help on this journey. Feel free to add me.

I do one "official" weigh in a week. I do it on Monday mornings which kind of makes me not pig out on the weekends. I do a lot of Wii Fit Plus, so it weighs me everyday, but I usually don't look at the weight part. I can tell by the graph and my BMI if I've gone down.

You're doing great and you should be proud! That's the funny thing about goals, sometimes we don't want to set any, but when we do, we sure are happy when we get there! Keep up the good work, don't let any bumps along the way get you down, stay motivated, and know what you're doing is going to change the rest of your life!…

Feel free to add me. I'm here pretty much here every day, I know how to lose weight as well as I do gaining weight. Was in the Army 20 years so I have a pretty good understanding of fitness (just need to practice it).

796 calories burned in 1 hr and 45 mins using Wii Fit Plus Drank my water And will be under my calorie total for the day

Plenty of guys on here, feel free to add me.

Well hello! Good progress so far. If you're looking for friends and or support, feel free to add me.

Feel Free to friend me. I retired from the Army in 95', trying to lose around 100, down 31 lbs so far.

You look amazing! Great job, and great motivation for the rest of us.

I personally see nothing "manly" about you in that picture! You look amazing and should be proud of what you accomplished!

Don't eat them if you are a fat *kitten* like my trying to lose weight, if you are where you want to be and are just trying to be healthy and eat healthy, there shouldn't be problem eating those calories.

Yes, Crystal Farms, my bad. Thanks for catching that.

No, it's for all 6

Not everyone carries it, but Dorthy Lynch Fat Free is great if you like something like a slightly sweeter, lighter french style dressing.

Raw, but you could probably go either way.

Feel free to add me. I've been living the "large" life and am enjoying the change so far.

Welcome aboard! This is a great tool to help you along. Feel free to add me.

Do what I do, when I see something I don't get, especially some of the abbreviations, just google it! Feel free to add me.
