make it a habit. habits start with effort - so int he short term you need to make the effort to do consistently. After a while it will become a habit and part of your lifestyle.

I agree with this.

Also when you get the weight off you'll be shocked how much better you feel. Eat lean protean, veggies, fruit whole grain. Avoid sugar, high fat and starches, and do somethign active everyday (even if it is just a walk) and you'll drop the weight.

Don't worry you get the weight off the BP will drop.

Relax, this is very normal. Weight loss is not linear nor nor frankly is always fat. Water retention can cause you to plateau weigth wise while still losing fat. If you are in an appropriate deficit, eating right and exercising, you are losing fat reguardless of what the scale says. One of these days you'll step on the…

I love a good IPA, but I got to be honest with you, weight loss and "good" beer to not go well together. I limited my beer consumption significantly during my loss period.

Yes but if you do it over time you'll really see an increase in your fitness level. Highly recommend some form of interval training as a part of your fitness plan.

I wouldn't. The HRM is designed for cardio, it will not be accurate with strength training. Go Cougs. Everyone is Coug all of a sudden?

I think this is a great plan. When I was in weight loss mode I'd do multiple shorter work out a day (walk or bike ride in the morning and a work out in the afternoon, or vise versa) Don't forget there is no law requiring a work out be at the gym. There is all kinds of activities you can do outside the gym.

About midway through my weight loss I was constipated. Did a little research and learned that is normal - any change in eating pattern can cause it. Plus the whey protean I use as a suppliment can cause it as well. make sure you get enough fiber and drink water.

Fu%k them. Who cares what this loser thinks...I sure wouldn't. Keep doing what your doing!

Start slow and continue to increase the intensity. I was 5 10 250lbs. I walked 30 mins a day for a week, then did 30 mins 2 times a day (morning and evening). After a few weeks I joined the YMCA and started 30 mins of cardio on their machines, and kept the 2 walks in daily as well. After that I added weight lifting to the…

Not an expert here, but I'd say if you feel out of control then that's a sign you have a problem. As with all negative habits, I'm into replacing them. If you have a desire to drink go to an AA meeting, take a walk, go workout, call a friend, go to a movie, do anything but drink.

That's what I'd do. Your HRM numbers really don;t look right to me. I'm 190lbs when I ride my bike (outside at an ave speed 13 MPH) I assume 10 cals per minute.

Go to a high end athletic shoe store (not a chain) and have them evaluate your feet and recommend a shoe for you. Slow down and work into an increased pace.

They don;t taste bad, but they are just expensive weak drinks. Buy real booze and mix with a quality sugarfree mixer, the cal count is the same but much less expensive.

Don't drop cardio. For ideas on program design check out the following book: "New Rules of Lifting for Women" also there appears to be a MFP group dedicated to this book.

I have a spread sheet with the workout plan on it, I print it take it to the gym and enter the results when I get home. I keep the records in Excel rather than MFP.

Two suggestions: 1) Figure out some kind of reward fro working out to reinforce that behavior. 2) Just do it. Habits are built over time with discipline. Work out everyday, eventually it will become a habit, but that takes longer than 2 months. Remember exercise in the magic pill to not only loose weight but to keep it…

This! It is not a mystery work out hard, eat more.

I heard a pro football lineman once say he used to get a sore jaw from all the steak he had to eat to maintain weight. They eat 6 full meals a day.

I use it from time to time as part of a recover drink.

First the nutritionist is right - STOP ENABLING HIM. You're the adult, he does not have an income to buy his own food, right? Make sure the only food available for him is healthy. I would make a big deal about it, just control the food available to him. Sure you may not be able to get him to exercise, but you have much…

It varies typically 6 days per week but with various effort levels (Low, Med, High).

I don't think you are losing too fast. I agree with other, you are in the "low hanging fruit phase"...the rate of loss will slow as you get closer to the goal weight.

No worries this is normal. Don't worry about the weight gain, it is most likely fluid retention as a result of normal swelling. There is a difference between being sore and injured. When I'm sore I work through it, perhaps reduce the weight. I'd keep going, as your body adapts you'll be less sore.

I make a scramble with 1 Omega Egg, 2 or 3 egg whites, and veggies (I like onions, peppers and greens).

The past is the past there is nothing you can do to change it. Each day recommit yourself. Take it one day at time. I sounds like you are stressed. Use exercise as a form of stress relief.
