Hi there! I will send you a friend request. Congrats on getting reengaged to becoming a better you. What many people do not get is that you have to eat a certain amount of food to help your body do what it needs to do. Promise me you want go into starvation mode to please anyone. Let's get going with that Fresh Start!!!…

Yes motivation plays a part in getting going and some times to keep going. That motivation can come from the outside but deep down you will have to push yourself. The one thing I am working on is to stay consistent. Once you have done something (eating right, exercising, logging meals etc) for a while if you stop it will…

I like to have dinner for breakfast so I will have chicken, Steak or salmon as my protein. I will also have a protein shake with fruit mixed in. Milk has good amount of protein as well.

Open to having additional MFP friends that can help with support and accountability.

My goal is a gallon a day. But I typically get in about 10 glasses. I feel better when I drink more water. In my mind the weight is better when I drink more water vs the times when I am not drinking the recommended 8 glasses.

count me in...life too short to always mine your Ps and Qs...

I think it depends on your body type and how you carry your weight. On my current journey I started at 262. I am now 251 and I can tell the difference. But you start to notice before others can see it. Take your measurements, that will give you some indication of changes. Some times you will not see a change outwardly but…

I brought my kettlebell to work and I do 15 min workout with it. It is quick so the heart rate is elevated. I also try to do a 1-2 min walk every hour.

I've had a number of reasons why and for some reason they didn't keep me moving towards my ultimate goal. This time I have a few things have occurred at the same time and I have looked deep inside and asked "Do you really want to be this size in a year?" But I realized that I have asked myself that questions many times…

Is this your first week of changing your eating habits? You tend to lose more during the first couple of weeks and then it settle down to the 2 pounds a week. At least that has been my experience that last 1,000 times I started to work on losing weight. I also have the fitbit scale. It is pretty accurate. Good Luck!

My motivation? I no longer want to be consider Fit and Fat. And to have OBESE removed from my medical chart without having weight loss surgery. Which is what my doctor suggested. I refuse to have the surgery because I do not have other health issues (no high blood pressure, no diabetes, no bad knees or back) and there are…

Good Luck with your journey. Im just starting for the 100th time to lose weight. But I am determined to make this the last time I start. You have to change your thinking and know that you can do this. Small changes will help to acheive big results. You've already started eliminating things for your daily diet that will…

I do not think that obesity is a disease. There are many people who are classified as obese simply because of weight. I am considered obese but I do not have all the markers of an unhealthy person. No diabetes, no high blood pressure, my cholesterol is in the normal range. Resting heart rate is in the 70's. My doctor whom…
