I also need to lose over 100 pounds. I will be 55 this year, I've been here several times before.. have done well every time, but slip back to same unhealthy habits. Currently at around 265, have lost 8 pounds this week. (The first ten always come off quickly for me). I've stopped sodas, and am doing low carb plus counting…

It's all what works for the individual. Some say eat within 30 min of waking to boost metabolism. I try to wait until after noon to eat. FOR ME if I eat breakfast early morning it's like opening the flood gates and I'm "starving" all day. Some people find it keeps them fuller longer. It's trial and error I think...I had to…

Looks like a post I could have written myself! Same issues here! I've been at this since May 25, 2016 sw 265, cw 231 gw 165 you can do this! Sending you a friend request!

I wasn't suggesting 1200 for anyone, just saying what has been working for me. Other than the sporadic exercise I do manage to get in, I'm pretty much sedentary. Setting my calories at 1200 allows me some wiggle room, especially for those days when I'm not getting exercise. I have noticed that even without exercising at…

Hi, I started out on mfp by putting in my stats and I think it allowed me around 1600. And I wasn't losing very much at all. I have since dropped it down to 1200...you never want to go under 1200. Some say eat back your exercise calories...I try not to, as I think they are overestimated anyway. I started on here at 265 on…

Chronic migraines here too. Doctor has tried several meds, from blood pressure meds, amitriptyline, imitrex, and now on prednisone for my last migrame which lasted for 2 weeks!

Hi, sounds like we are in the same boat! I too love food and sleeping! Not much on the wine though :smile: I'm not a "clean" eater or vegan, vegetarian, or any other "healthy" eater :'( I love to eat, my fav is steak and potatoes, bread and butter, and if I'm to be honest I guess I wouldn't turn my nose up at much of…

I've been on MFP for a little over a month, and what helps me at the gym is that I do all my reps and sets, then start over like circuit training and lift to failure on each machine that I've been working on for that day :smile: good luck!

brush your teeth, nothing tastes good after ! :smile: :smile:
