Update: He did make an account this weekend. He tracked and realized what I already knew - that he is only eating about 1300 calories a day. Mostly in crap. So, we went grocery shopping together and I pointed out some stuff on labels - and I think he made some really good choices. I can see how it is going to be difficult…

He does - like five sodas a day. I've been trying for years to break that habit. Today - I sent him with one soda and two bottles of water for lunch. I'm probably going to get an angry text around lunch time - but, ohwell. He wanted my help.... LOL

Wow - thanks for all the bumps! :) My blog has gotten a lot of traffic from MFP over the weekend.

My eyes. They are crazy green.

love Quinao - but my new favorite "food" is Kefir. I make Kefir smoothies at least once a day!

Hahahaha - No. I just told him that I knew some guys on MFP who were there to gain. So he asked me to get their advice. :) Personally - I prefer lean guys to muscular ones. Farmer boys.

I totally understand what you are saying. He's done a fantastic job reinforcing my new habits - so I want to do the same for him. Just about everything I'm reading in vs and comparisons online say the SL program might be slightly better for true beginners or people with back problems - so I suppose I'll get him the info on…

Which would be better Stronglifts or Starting Strength - he does have a disc problem in his back - but his Dr told him working out might help repair it - since it's due to poor muscle quality?

We eat a lot of lean meat, so that wont be hard - but, he eats like a bird. I'm not joking at all when I say 2 slices of pizza is all he can handle, and whenever we go out to eat, he brings at least half of his meal home. (Man - if I had taken my hunger cues from him a long time ago - I wouldn't need to lose this weight!)

Thanks, I appreciate your help!

Oh - and I can pack his snacks/lunches, and make his breakfasts too. I've got no problem helping him attain his goals in any way I can. He is super supportive of mine, so it's the least I can do.

Thanks guys - is there anything in particular he ought to be eating? 4000 cals is like triple what I eat... LOL!

BTW- I didn't pre cook the cauliflower at all - just raw right onto the pizza stone.

Yup - same thing happened here. I don't know what I expected, but - this was pretty close to pizza... So I'll take it!

I'm running it - I think. :) Def Orlando though - not Miami.

It was really tasty!

This! Man, I've been fat most of my life - and it sucks to be treated differently. HOWEVER - that does not mean it should be OK to be obese.

Try PB2 by Bell Plantation - AMAZING and only 45 calories.

That looks like the Sunny Cranberry Trail mix from Archer Farms.

Thank you so much!

Thanks! I've still got a long way to go, but that first 25 was really a big hurdle.

Its possible - I lost 16 in the first month and a half, I think - and then just sort of fell off the bandwagon.

Thanks ! I appreciate it!

Thank you so much! And please do - I don't mind at all. :)

WOW!!!! Thats amazing!

I had a body wrap done (won a gift certificate from a spa) and I lost about 6 inches overall, and almost 10 lbs... HOWEVER - as soon as you eat or drink ANYTHING, you will instantly gain it all back. Really, all it does is force the water out of your skin. For me, it was worth it for the pictures, since I def looked…

Lived in PBC for 4 years before moving to St Lucie county, took a look at land prices and headed North! LOL.

FT4 - cheap, comfortable chest strap, and ridiculously easy to setup and use. Been using much pretty much daily for the past 3 months - but have owned it for a year. Got mine at Target, when they put their workout gear on sale - for 60$. It's a game changer. PLUS - you can hide your wrist monitor in your pocket, or around…

Actually - studies show that people who weigh themselves daily weigh less, and are more conscious about what they eat, and lose more during the course of a weight loss program. That being said, i do weigh in every morning. If I am up a pound or two overnight, I don't freak out because I know its just water weight (from too…
