For me to lose 2lbs a week, I'm at 1,390 not including exercise. When I do exercise I average between 350 and 400 calories which gets added to the 1,390.

I started walking three months ago. Every other day, I walk three miles on my one hour lunch break. So far, I've walked 90 miles, burned over 10,000 calories, but....I do it in pain. I have the same problem with the shin splints but worse is my hip joints. I can almost feel the ball grinding in the socket. That is where I…

Patience and stubborn determination. I wanted fast results too but soon realized that ain't happening. Going on four months and have lost 25lbs thus far. 15 more to go. I hit a brick wall at 17lbs lost and that was discouraging but then I dropped the rest and now I'm at another wall. But...I know I'll get there eventually,…

Yea that sounds a little too good to be true. I'll stick with walking an hour a day which is good for 350 calories. It's not bad once you get use to it.

I too am guilty and have tried really hard to limit how many I eat at one sitting. I give up, I'm weak so it's no more nuts for me... Pepperoni and cheese is another one of my demons...

I'm in the same boat as you. Fifty four years old and my goal was 40lbs also. I'm down to 215 since December 1st and realizing it's going to be harder than I expected. It won't happen overnight, that's for sure. After researching everything, I have to be realistic and expect that 2lbs. a week is a great result and might…

Way to go! If you can drop 100 lbs. then I'm encouraged that I can lose the 40 lbs. I'm shooting for. You're right, it's about eating the right foods, the right amount and the dreaded exercise. Once again, congrats on the achievement!
