  • There are many things you can do to get in a few extra steps in your daily routine. If you drive to your classes, try parking as far away from the building as possible. But as others have said, just eating less than you burn will allow you to lose weight. But as others have said, get more help with the household duties. I…

  • Bingo. And when you can make that transition from thinking of it as a lifestyle versus a diet I personally believe you'll see better results. Use this website (MFP) every day and log all your food. Stay under your goals and EXERCISE. By the way, exercise doesn't need to be running a marathon. A nice walk each day will help…

  • Like others have said, I really have no idea. But if I had to guess I would say somewhere between 3000 - 4000. I could easily tackle a large pizza all by myself. I feel pretty confident that I'll never return to that lifestyle. I'm focused on reaching my goal (about half way there) and then maintaining. Jerry…

  • No sweet tooth here. Don't crave chocolate or cokes (soft drinks/soda). I guess I'm lucky.

  • Keep in mind, in this politically correct world we live in. People may actually notice, but may not mention it to you in the fear the weight loss is due to something else.

  • To answer this question, I need to provide a little history. One of the main drivers to my "getting in better shape" lifestyle is wanting to control cholesterol without the need to continue taking the statin drugs. I began taking statin drugs about 7-8 years ago. My results on the drug (as of 18 Feb. 2012) - Weight 220 lbs…

  • Walking is awesome. Don't let anyone discourage you. You might be interested in my new blog which encourages 10,000 Steps for Life. http://10000stepsforlife.com/ Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/10000stepsforlife/ Keep up the walking. I'm down 25 pounds just with walking and watching what I eat. Jerry

  • Like others have said, I too don't have an official cheat day. I've tried that with other diets, but I found I was having too many cheat days and not enough diet days. I'm treating what I'm doing (low carb) as a lifestyle and not a diet. I've learned how to continue to eat low carb even when I'm forced to eat out. As for…
    in When do you have your cheat day? :) Comment by KD0BIK September 2013
  • This certainly may not apply to everyone. But for me, if I don't get my day off on the right track (including coffee the way I like it) then the rest of the day is shot. I typically drink two cups of coffee each morning and use the Carnation brand creamers. Once caffeinated, I'll adjust my intake as the day progresses even…

  • Hi Paul, Great to find you here. My shack consists of the Yaesu FT-950 which I use for SSB phone only and I have my FT-897D setup for the digital modes. For mobile HF ops, I have the FT857, but I don't leave it in the truck. So most times it is sitting on the shack desk and is used for V/UHF ops. I also have the FT-817…
