If I was younger - date.

Thanks for the support. It feels like a few weeks after surgery... Time will tell what that means.

I'll start out by saying I don't have much of a guess about the extra calories you burn by being at work longer but I have two thoughts.... When I was working longer shifts I brought in 2 to three bags of food for my meals. That way I had the good food for the shift versus the junk fund. 2nd, I don't count calories I burn…

Date

I don't do ONS... So date.

"he doesn't find me attractive anymore" ---- His loss. You ARE attractive.

You can come over once a week!

Mondays after work. Tricks? Looking here to get motivated.

Pretty.

Drivers (not signaling, going too slow, texting while driving, People who don't clean the gym gear People who think they need to put on so much perfume or cologne Doctors People who lie

Tell us more. What way do you feel like crap? Tired, hurt, sore, mentally unhappy, etc.?

Feel free to add me!

True 12lbs is not that much weight to lose but I have lost 11 so far and the difference after losing 11 is apparently noticable. So I can see losing 23 total would be quite noticable on my frame. Also my goall of being low enough on body fat to see my abs seems to be the piece they both don't like. I am not changing my…

Once a week after I shower.

Take a chance and ask them out.

Personally I think going over once a week is not a bad thing (just so it is not 1000s). There are a lot of programs out there that allow a cheat day each week.

3) Sanity and intelligence. Been with gorgeous women who are dumb and ones that are crazy. They don't rate at all in my book. Then #1. I prefer the fit body builder / gymnast body.

Good luck and keep your optimism up! Remember scales, to me, are a bit of an evil thing. You weigh in and they measure you - let how you feel and look be your measure.

At risk of upsetting people - DON'T weigh yourself! Give yourself a month of working out again before you even think of getting on the scale.

You can add me if you wish. I will warn you that I might log in less as I get closer to my goal but I don't see that I'll drop out completely. I am here so far every day and you would be my first friend on this site. :smile:

Two things: Water and protein. More of both and they will make you full longer. Drinking more water will also keep your hands and mouth occupied. Smaller meals also. I used to eat 6 meals a day and believe me after eating that often I was sick and tired of eating.

Yup. I am at the last 10 pounds to lose point. While I only had to lose about 25lbs to get to my goal I have been stuck for a month. But I am not discouraged too much. I feel my body just adjusted to the lifestyle change and is rebelling for a bit before it gives up the weight I want it to. The mid-section is the only…

I average about 2000 per day. I am right at 198lbs and 6' 1". Exercising 6 days a week with an hour of cardio and about 50 minutes of weights each day. I am losing, but not fast. Makes me wonder if I'm eating too little, weight staying the same because of adding muscle weight, or if I am just stuck with that last 10 lbs to…

This is exactly what I mean. OP and others please don't think I say go from P90X, to Tae Bo, to professional high jumper type of routines every 30 days. What I believe is if you do normal curls for 30 days then go to hammer curls for the next 30 and then maybe ez bar curls for 30. You are doing the basic exercise for…

In my opinion you MUST change the routine. Must. Lets take a quick example: Have you ever been working out and felt you were doing good, then played a sport and felt absolutely sore? That happens because you use different muscles, in different ways. I would recommend you change your routine now and every 30 days. (also…

Add protein to the oatmeal or try the weight control oatmeal; it has protein added to it to try and stave of cravings. No matter how many times I have heard it, it took a while to sink in, but two major things to keep your hunger away - protein and water.

Don't be discouraged by a "slow" weight loss in the beginning. Some things, like TV shows, skew the perception that people should make great loses each week (7 to 10+ lbs per week). You have to remember that shows like biggest loser have those folks with nutrition counseling and work out up to 4 hours a day. 3 lbs in 19…

Not what you asked but let me give you a bit of advice I wouldn't accept if given to me long ago.... Use a supplement called nitric oxide and lift weights. Get a trainer or friend that will show you how to lift properly. Why do this? To get you used to the way your muscles feel when worked out and soon, I hope, you will…
