First Watch: Tri-Athlete omelet with salsa and grilled chicken added. Ice tea sweetened with splenda. Sounds way more impressive than it tastes

WOW! Father to 5 here. You are amazing! I'd like o be friends and offer support. I'm on my weight loss journey to 200 pounds. Take care! Mark

You can add me if you'd like. :) Mark

New and knee surgery survivor (20 years ago) as well :) Great to meet you! Mark

No advice you don't already know. Stay away from white carbohydrates (zero bread, potatos, rice, sugars). Tons of water. Teeny tiny portions. Avoid easy stuff that you can "pop" in your mouth. But here's my best motivation: YOU ARE AWESOME and I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!

I screwed up too because I grilled crappy food for the holiday and invited people who brought even more crappy food. Oh well, I can't change it, but this week I forced myself back on track. I hope I'm on the tracks more than off them. Mark

Good luck and you can totally do this. Mark

You can totally do this. MFP can help. Diligence will help. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Hi, and welcome, and your story sounds familiar. 44yo here as well. Lately, what's working for me is 50% calories early, 30% calories midday and 20% calories at night. White stuff (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta) are totally out. Not even an option ever. Good job on the new job and YOU CAN DO THIS! Mark

Welcome! For me, keep a diligent food diary of EVERYTHING I eat is helpful. Mark

Hi! Looking for friends around my age too!
