You don't learn the value of portion control using a prepared meal.

I'm 5'6 ;wgt 197 size 12/14;lrg/xl

You can add me.

Wonderful New! Keep up the good work!

You need another doctor! Yes, doctors should inform/warn us about the issues of being over weight. However, there is a way to say it. We already know we are over weight. One thing I have learned from the years of gaining and losing weight is that it is better if you reduce gradually. This is confirmed by how Weight Watcher…

It depends on who says it and how it is said. It's nice when it is said in an encouraging why instead insulting.

Oatmeal 1 to 1 1/2 cup with cooked banana or apple cinnamon, Splenda during the week and 2 egg with one egg white with spinach, onions, peppers and cheese with a cooked apple seasoned with Splenda and cinnamon.

If you are looking for vegetables choices - broccoli, green beans, kale, and collards work. I also like eating vegetable (spinach, onions, peppers and tomatoes) omlets for weekend breakfast.

One of my health issues is high blood pressure. So sodium intake is important to me. I have researched and try to watch my intake. The guidelines were changed several years ago. This is what I found. If you are age 51 or older, an African American or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, your maximum sodium intake…

The wgt for me is 195. Goal wgt is 185.Currently bouncing between 193 and 198.

I have considered. It for my arms. Also check out some doctors in my area. I have been watching Extreme Wgt loss. They do the surgery after the person has lost over 40% of their Wgt. I have only lost a little over 20. Good luck and congratulations.

Glad I came back to this post. For my first post I was 204. Now I am under 200 pounds and swinging between 193-195, Moving in the right direction. Wow! :flowerforyou:

I have been doing kick boxing when I was 50 heavier then I am now. You may have to work up to executing some of the moves but Sure you can do it!

There definitely is a difference in ones bones. I had a doctor tell me I wouldn't be small because I had large bones. If there wasn't a differences, why are there charts that have small, medium or large for men and women on the weight charts. If everyone has smallw bones wouldn't their hands and feet be small too. Also,…

I have lost 53 pounds. I have set-up MFP to lose 1 pound a week. Without exercise I eat around 1400 a week. When I exercise, I eat between 1500 - 1800. I try to eat only half my exercise calories. I have had moments where I didn't lose for several months. I keep following my plan and then the weight lose would start again.…

I use them with my Leslie Sansons Walking and Biggest Losers DVDs. Also, use them for toning my Arms and shoulders -Bicep and tricep curls and Chest press.

I weight 195. Clothes size 12/14; tops L/XL better then 257 and size 14/16W!

I was telling a co-worker this morning that exercising and taking care of our health should just a natural has brushing our teeth and coming our hair. As I read in Made To Crave - I use to live to eat; now I eat to live!

First of all - you look good. Your face is not sagging and there are no wrinkles. The bottom-line is it is about good health. Your family is not use to seeing you thin so it doesn't look right to them. I am sure all families talk about each other but for them to say those things to your face that is a bit much. No body…

Your wedding and pictures is good motivation. They can't be the only motivation. Improved health - to be in good health for your children and to enjoy life. If this is only about your wedding, if you are not careful after the bliss of the wedding and pictures before you know it you will be right back to where you started…

I use them on the weekends when I don't go to the gym. Depending on the time I have I do anywhere from 3 to 5 miles. I use leg weights and hand eights. Mostly in the morning but sometimes at night.

Truly Amazing! What a testimony! He is the I am!

There is different concerns for the charts used by Drs. and others. I was told they are not designed for African Americans. I also heard on the radio that you should be within 20 pounds of your high school weight. Of course, this depends on you being thin at that time. I an currently 8 pounds under my high school weight. I…

Sometimes people don't want you to continue because its an in your face reminder of what they should be doing. They mean well but does not realized it how comes across. Bottom-line: Do what's best for you! PS: I had someone ask me if I was sick an another asked if I was losing on purpose.:indifferent:

A co-worker who had not seen me for two weeks told me I was looking thin! At a size 12/14 (not) but I will take cause I am no longer a 14W/16W. :love:

Fried Lobster; Mac and Cheese; Green Beans

Oh yeah! During the week, oatmeal for breakfast. On the weekend, two egg veggie omelet. For snack slightly salted or fewer calorie Pringles.

II order the meal and a salad. Only eat half the meal. Either est it for dinner or lunch the next day with a salad or broccoli.

My favs are two egg veggie omelette ( spinach, red and green peppers, onions and tomatoes) and a smoothie for lunch. The veggies used are spinach, kale, carrots and tomatoes with banana and pineapple or strawberries. .
