  • My doctor-recommended goal was 1 pound a week and I started when I was 37, making it my goal to lose 100 pounds by the time I hit 40. That gave me time to compensate for any fluctuations. I met my goal when I was 39 and now working to get back to where I was. (Thankfully, a lot of my gain over the years was muscle,…

  • From one Long Beach, CA resident to another, congrats! Great job. I lost 100 but started to work on muscle mass and endurance for running/cycling (hence the ticker discrepancy). Like you, I'm still chipping away!

  • According to my BMI, I'm obese but it doesn't take into account many factors (activity levels, muscle mass, etc.) Physicals and bloodwork show me as being healthy, even healthier than the nurse who gave me the results. Everything is where it should be and I am rarely sick. Even at my lowest weight, I was still considered…

  • There are no quick fixes. Losing it quickly means gaining it back just as fast. I lost 100 pounds in 6 months in high school by practically starving myself and gained it all back in no time. Moderation is the key as is living a healthy lifestyle. Focus on losing that weight and stick with that plan if you want to keep it…

  • Why have you not cut him loose yet? Seriously. Think about you guys getting married THEN go back to the present day. Get those running shoes on and GO. There's no future here.

  • Wii Fit is one of the ways I started losing weight when I was 250 (I'm now 207 and was 300). It definitely helped, made me sweat like mad, and sort of prepped me for jogging which I do on the treadmill every other night. Also ran my first 5k this year. While using it, I dropped almost 30 pounds but it was only a supplement…
