  • I'll join the conversation with the same experience over a longer period of time. I started MFP on May 5th, 2013 after finally realizing that I was getting older and going to eat my self to death. I weighed about 350 pounds. I now realize I was grazing on food all day and packing the weight on. Someone at work had been…

  • Just some background. I started this journey on 5/5/2013, exactly 6 month to the day tomorrow. When I started I was at 350ish pounds, didn't exercise, and work at a desk for 12 hour shifts. Today I am at 288, down 66 pounds, and still going strong. Without a doubt portion control was what made me lose what I lost. I look…

  • If you have access to a big box store (Costco, BJ, etc.) buy them raw by the bulk bag. I have 3# bags available to me here. Look around online for recipies and roast them yourself. There are many versions out there you can try. I personally have a smoker and make them a bunch of different ways in there, but the oven would…

  • Without a doubt hockey. There is nothing like seeing a hockey game live. You just don't get the same feel for it and a sense of what is happening on the whole ice surface while watching TV. US football jut can't compare. Go NJ Devils!!! Because I live in the area I also go to see Rutgers and Princeton games. Can't get…

  • I never used to drink too much soda (1 can a day at lunch, or when we went out to eat), but when I did I used to drink regular soda. I looked at it as a nice treat I could afford myself since I didn't drink it too often, not to mention I wasn't thrilled with the taste of diet sodas. Now that I have started on my weight…

  • I started MFP on May 5 of this year. I am 44 years old, 6', and weighed somewhere around 350 pounds (couldn't tell you exactly, scale didn't read above that). I finally started to really think about potential health issues and that it was becoming difficult to do some outdoor activities, like sports. I have also been a…
    in How is doing c25k? Lets support each other Comment by rrcorleto July 2013
  • Thanks for the input. I had been putting off buying a HRM because I generally stay under my calorie allotment for a given day without excercise so it wasn't that important to spend the $ on one. This is a valid reason to maybe make the purchase. Sorry for changing topics mid-post, but any suggestons regarding HRMs to look…
