Are you also going to tax smokers? Alcoholics? Motorcycle riders? Race car driver? Equestrians? People engage in all kinds of activities that increase risk of injury or illness. Choosing one group to tax is called discrimination. Have been obese for a large portion of my adult life, and I haven't had a single illness or…

I just bought one, still figuring it out.

Well, I was going to reiterate the same things you have already been told. However, I get the impression that is not the advise you want to here. So my advise is to pose this question to some one you trust and respect, (such as a medical professional), so as to decrease the likelihood that you will disregard the advise.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story. I was in need of inspiration tonight.

Just bought my kayak last weekend, five trips so far. Absolutely love it. But yeah, not eating back the calories MFP allots, well, on second thought I could have a whole pizza. Hmmmmmm

Start today. Don't focus on the end goal or staying motivated - that is already giving thought to failure. Simply try and make each decision your best one possible. Learn to be in your body and in the now. How did your choice make you feel? Is it a feeling you want to recreate?

The promise of a paddle on the lake this afternoon!

I usually do a teriyaki type sauce, but you could really do any watery type of marinade. Tofu has very little flavor of it's own, so the more flavor the better. Others that I make up are sweet peanut sauce or a sriracha mix.

Of course you are allowed to post here, just know that as with most things Internet related, you will get a lot of responses from people with limited knowledge trying to tell others what to do. The anonimity allows disrespectful freedoms that people wouldn't take in real life. Seriously, how many people walk up to you and…

Except the OP was not asking for advice. She was looking to connect with people on a similar path. Instead of just moving on, most responders came in with their holier than tho responses with out knowing a single thing about the OP and her circumstances.

Hmmmm, I've never seasoned tofu. I usually use a sauce after it is cooked. Or I cut it into strips, marinate it overnight and then slow/low bake it to dehydrate it slightly and make it chewy.

I was thinking about getting one, they are so much more attractive than the others. The fact that they are not waterproof is holding me back tho - I do a lot of water activity.

Hmmmm, I can't do it, mostly because I hate the taste of wine that has been open for more than a few days. So while technically I have the will power to only drink one glass, I feel guilty for wasting good wine by not drinking it. I may have to start dropping some of my wine clubs as I'm beginning to have a storage issue…

Unless you have a medical condition, there is no reason you would not be able to get below 200 hundred pounds. Without further information it is hard to offer any advise as to diet or exercise. But what I will say, is ultimately it is all a choice. You have to choose to accurately and consistently measure anf log your…

I make my own mango (or strawberry or pineapple salsa). Put it over spring mix and top with steak, or on a tortilla with a little cheese and chicken breast. Bit are super yummy. Recipe : 1 mango, 2 vine ripened tomatoes, 1 small red onion, 1 bunch cilantro, and jalapeños to taste (usually 3-4). Chop it all up, a food…

About five years back I lost about 100 pounds, most with MFP and excel isle. Then life changes and injuries and I slipped back into old habits and put it all back on, plus 20 pounds. Then I finally got on a scale again just under three weeks ago, I was devastated to see 280. So first goal, 180. Then probably another 30 or…

Yes, you can still lose weight without exercise. If you are in a deficit, you will lose weight. However, you may want to go for a slower, less aggressive deficit. Large deficits can lead to losing lean muscle mass, and you will be less likely to maintain muscle without exercise.

Low carb whole wheat tortilla, cream cheese, turkey breast and mango wrap.

My first goal is 100 pounds, 280 down to 180. Then evaluate from there, with an end goal of maybe 150. I'm about two weeks in, and am waiting a month to log a loss, but definitely starting to notice a difference. I'm serious and committed, and welcome friends in a similar state of mind - I'll support and encourage, but…

Well, I'll be 40 in December, does that count? Have over 100 to lose and just getting started.

My new favorite find - Cucumber Dill Oppadipity Greek Yogurt dip with veggies. Yummy!

WOW, thank you for sharing!

Well, I'm not feeling supportive as I'm seriously disgusted with myself for getting to 280 pounds. So time to change. I did this once before with success until a string of injuries and related depression lead to apathy and regaining the weight. So here goes round two. I'm happy to share stories along the way.

I have a major sweet tooth. Ate candy nearly daily, drank soda regularly, lots of desserts. The. I dropped refined sugar/corn syrup/artificial sweetners the begining of the year. No issues here. I don't limit fruit and use honey daily in my tea, so usually still get sweet in my life. When I really need a treat I'll make…

I live in an area with similar wildlife, have only run into bear and cougar on horse back, never on foot. I'd feel a lot less confident with out my dog, and wouldn't leave him behind. But I also spent the time teaching him trail etiquette. Always on leash in the beginning, quick correction every time he started crossing in…

Yup, for me me the difference between 1200 calories a day and 1600 calories a day is huge. I exercise so I can eat enough to feel satisfied. 1200 just leaves me feeling grumpy and lethargic. 1600 makes it easier to meet nutritional needs and allow me to eat food I enjoy with out stressing over every bite. Not to mention I…
