To do more outdoor activities with my family. I want to snowboard! I want to live a lot longer. I want to go to a regular clothing store to buy clothes.

I'm in this for the long run. Add me if you like.

Me and my wife do a cheat DAY every Saturday. We intentionally go over our calorie limit. I have lost 67 lbs in 2 months and my wife has lost 16 lbs in 2 months.

Wow, you look amazing!

I'm melting....melting!!! :)

Drinking water is not the primary way to remove sodium out of your body. It's #1 increasing your potassium and #2 sweating it out. I have a lower amount of potassium today, so I'm wanting to sweat out the sodium today.

I hate bumping again, but I need more motivation! :)

Once a week, same day, in the morning.

He was hesitant on putting me on medication, due to that I recently made a lifestyle change and wanted to check with me again in December. He said, just keep on what your doing and we'll see if it comes down. Oh and thanks, not having diabetes is great news!

Very true! Thank you.

Kind of scary knowing how little control I have over my HDL and LDL within my body. Since you seem educated in this, mind giving me some dietary tips too get it lower without medication?

Thank you very much. This is a wake up call for me. I just hope I can combat my high cholesterol levels with diet and exercise without having to go on medications.

So, you don't eat bad HDL and LDL, your body makes it? Well that sucks!

So is it safe to assume MOST LDL cholesterol is from saturated and trans fats?

Oh wow. Please explain. And why can't foods display HDL and LDL cholesterol? It would be nice to scan an item and say "Wow, that has LDL cholesterol, I should stay away from that"

Guess what Arnold Schwarzenegger drank and ate during his Mr. Olympia days... It wasn't clean eating thats for sure. (Drank a lot of pop, hot dogs, etc)

BUMP. I would like to know that more people have accomplished this. :)

I totally read the topic name wrong lol I hate veggies too, but there will come a time where I'll man up and start eating more...Just not today :)

That's what I use! I fry two slices of turkey bacon first and then take out the bacon and pour the egg whites on top of the turkey bacon grease and add pepper and one cheese slice. Yum!

Lunch: 4 Slices of Weight Watchers bread 4 slices of Turkey breast (Deli) 2 Tablespoons of Miracle Whip Snacks: 1 Banana 1 Activia Greek Yogurt 1 Fiber One bar 1 24g bag of baked lays chips At 10AM I have a Fiber One and the Baked Lays Lunch I'll have my Sandwiches At 2PM I'll have my Yogurt and Banana And I'll drink 3L(12…

I think this is all speculation. Unless you have actual test subjects starving themselves and the doctors are performing the proper examinations, before and after, then everything else is just conjecture. I look to the bear. Prior to hibernation, it eats a lot and stores a lot of fat. When the bear awakes the following…

I'm 441 lbs and let me tell you...As much as I love walking, my feet paid the price and have foot pain from time to time. My recommendation? Swim. I'm addicted to it and its great for cardio!

Oh and just a FYI, I had my BP checked and I have great BP.

Wow, 99% of the time I am under my carbs. Oh and I'm not getting enough protein....I'm still getting used to being on a low calorie diet

This is what I'm going for. Calories in - Calories out. Maybe...just maybe eat a little healthier along the way! :)

Hypothyroid? (Slower metabolism than usual) Losing fat weight but gaining water? (Too much sodium and not enough potassium?)

Thanks everyone for your kind and informative comments. I should be happy with this 2 lbs. weight loss this week. :)

A quick search in the "Success Stories" section will show you the people who have accomplished this goal within 1 year.

How is this possible? Do fat people (Like myself) have a higher BMR than what is shown in the calculations? This does not make sense, sorry. Or are you taking into account water weight?

I'm simply stating that Your body uses calories for fuel. If you digest less that what your body uses for fuel for a day, then you burn fat. Simple. I used a 2L bottle of Coke as just a crazy example, it may be unhealthy to do so, but it shows that sugar is NOT the culprit.
