I am 139-142 lbs and 5'7", I avg approximatley 100 calories a mile at a heart rate of 143-149. There are so many variables I don't think they can be too accurate.

Its so funny you say that! I grew up on a farm and fresh meat, eggs, fruit, veggies and nuts were so plentiful....

I try to eat at least 1-2 fruits a day and several servings of cooked fresh veggies. I prepare all of my food on Sunday that way I don't have to cook all week long. I also prepare enough tilapia for at least 1 weeks worth of lunches along with white and sweet potatoes. They all hold up well in the frig and it makes eating…

I totally understand. I was 45 years old in the exact same situation. I did something a little more drastic in 2009 but it allowed me to make serious changes. I was 265 and decided enough was enough. I had gastric bypass. I am not saying that is the answer for everyone but it was for me. Before you go and judge my method…

First of all, congrats on having defined goals. Sometimes that is the hardest thing! I have weight issues too! Ten months ago, I weighed 265lbs and today I weigh 141 I have learned alot about controling weight since then. You are right, it is type of diet,, portion control and exercise. I did have gastric bypass so I had…

I am at a total of 120 lbs loss and the hair loss is not bad now. With this program I was able to monitor my protein much better. I still eat between 800-1000 calories a day and exercise 6 times a week. For the guy to say I have slipped into old habits is wrong. Who are you to say that anyhow. You don't me or my habits. I…

As soon as you get them home, pull out the scale and put them in single serving plastic bags..

I love Salmon but Tilapia is much lighter and is a less fatty fish...Try Cajun seasonings and bake it.

Hey, I'm Patti. I have lost 105lbs since 6/16/2009. I am down to my last 10-20 lbs and boy it it coming off slow. :angry:

nuts. They are tasting and very healthy.

Hey fellow WLS folks, First of all, let me say congrats on all of your weight loss successes. I would like to share some of my own: I had my RNY back on 6/16/2009 and I have eliminated 104lbs total so far with only 11 more to go. I follow the plan to a T too. I feel I have been given a 2nd chance and I don't intend on…

Congrats on your loss. I am 7 months out and I have lost 104lbs and feel marvelous.

First of all, anyone who thinks gastric by pass is an easy way to loose weight has never had either a long term weight issue or gastric by pass. I have gastric bypass almost 7 months ago and I have lost 104 lbs so far. I have 11 more to go to make goal. I have to make healthier choices now than I ever did before otherwise…

Nice to know I am doing something right. Thanks for sharing.
