It could be they're noticing and not saying anything. I don't always make comments like that to others, but I certainly do notice when I see a change in someone.

This is a great place to start. The ability to track your eating and/or exercise on a daily basis is very powerful (don't underestimate it). Having support from other like-minded people is also huge... Good Luck !! :drinker:

I'd maybe look at them as 4 little rewards.... if you enjoy the treat, but can resist having all of them, have one and save the others when you reach mini-goals. Each goal deserves a reward !!

I've been using Wii Active for about a month and a half with a little Wii Fit Plus sprinkled in. Wii Active workouts will really get ya sweating !!

Protein shakes alone will not cause you to gain muscle or weight. The primary use for these shakes is to help your muscles recover after workouts. Yes, there are lots of calories in the shakes, but they are not calories from fat. Also, many of the shakes include a lot of other vitamins and nutrients, so they can benefit…

There are good carbs and not so good carbs. When you go low carb, you want to eat complex carbs that take a long time for your body to burn. This would include whole grains, beans, legumes, etc. If you do some research on low glycemic diets, you'll find this is what they promote. Keeping your blood sugar on an even keel is…

Phil, the respect is most definitely mutual !! Your motivation and dedication is inspiring to everyone. If you continue with this mindset, there will be no limit to what you can achieve... Hats off to ya !!!!!:happy:

Super results !! Your dedication to this is definitely gonna create a whole new you... keep on keepin' on !!

WTG !! I am so happy for you... you have taken the hardest step - making a decision and getting started ! Keep up the good work and be patient.... it took a while to add pounds, it will take a while to lose them, too. Here's to a healthier you and your daughter !! :flowerforyou:

WTG !! Keep up the good work !

Something with a high content of protein.... the higher, the better. Protein shakes will probably give you the biggest blast, regardless of which one you choose. Most fish and lean meats are great sources of protein, too. When I'm pressed for time, I'll drain a can of tuna and add it to a tossed salad or even have it…

Thanks for sharing, PJ... I'm addin' it to my favs !

Fantastic !! Whatever you're doing..... keep it up. No doubt you're already feeling like a new you and at this rate you're gonna amaze all of your family and friends !! Hats off to ya..............

Cool !! My wife has an Android phone... I'll share this with her... thanx. Keep up yhe good work !!

If you are not trying to create a large calorie deficit, try to eat foods that will get you near your goal. If any of the foods have nutrition labels, read them and pay attention to the listing for "calories from fat". Low cal, low carb and low fat are all important but you may not need to do all 3 at once. If your SW was…

I've been wanting to go to Vegas or on a cruise. My wife has been wanting to do NYE in NYC. We both really like this idea.... keep me posted !!

An additional thing to consider when replenishing earned calories is where the calories are coming from. If you read labels on food products, you'll not only see a total calorie listing but also, calories from fat. If you can, lean toward foods that are higher in protein.... this will maximize the earned calories and…

I've never had this happen to me before and I don't know anyone who has experienced this, either. One thing to consider.... you may not have digested this supplement in as little as 10 minutes. Anything we ingest requires the same digestion process.... stomach acids, etc. to enable what we consume to enter our…

Yup... the testosterone changes are a by-product as kathield stated.... and it is a very good thing. Also, with exercise there may be increased blood flow to certain "special areas" that cause you to feel this way more often... again, a very good thing !!

I like it !! Gonna have to give that one a try... thanks for sharing!

We all have days like that, so don't feel bad about it. It could be your body telling you it's missing something (besides ice cream...lol) Whenever I get that urge, I try to reach for something filling, but not too damaging. I like to munch on dill pickles (only 5 cals.), or even a few slices of lean turkey breast. Having…

Somebody once said "There are no stupid questions... only stupid answers". Hopefully, mine won't be one of them...lol The 1640/day should be your BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate), which is roughly the amount of calories your body needs to maintain daily activities based on how you filled out your profile. If you want to lose…

Outstanding!! You are an inspiration to all of us. Keep up the good work.... we're all rooting for ya!!

I've asked myself a simple question.... maybe this will help: Where do you want your calories to come from? If you read the label on any food product, it lists Calories and Calories From Fat. I want my calories to come from Protein and Complex Carbs that my body can use for fuel when exercising. As for the junk food…

I'm sure that feels great.... keep up the good work!! :happy:
