Excellent progress keep up the good work. I've been doing thsi since September and have lost about 27 pounds with eventual goal of about 50.

I just wish more gyms would invest in better ventilation. I've been to more than few where a lingering odor of stale sweat can get to level where its almost nauseating. I do understand about perfumes I have to steer clear of the bathroom when my wife used body spray . The perfume is Ok but the carrier that evaporates make…

For me it's all about the person, hight has never been an issue for me. That said as 5'5" guy I've known a number of woman who are very hung up on dating someone taller. So I see it but more coming from women then from men.

That's just great thanks for the smile

My Christmas milestone weight was 180 and yesterday I weighed in at 180.0. Id like to hit 155 when I'm done but achieving my interm mile stone feels good.

Yes about that. Its generally a pretty well done program.

I hear you I'm 51 and got to a point I didn't like catching myself in the mirror sans clothing .... But Ive been doing this for 3 months now and have lost 21 lb so far that's after having been stocky most of my life. so good luck I'm sure you'll do fine.

1 week with no change but Ive only been at this for 3 months. My loss varies though 2lb one week 1/2 lb on different week.

1346 is the tools recommended daily calorie intake it will adjust it to account for what you put as you exercise goal each week. To loose 1.5 lbs per week consume 1336 calories, your BMR -750 calories each day (2086 -750 = 1336) To loose 1.0 lbs per week consume 1586 calories, your BMR -500 calories each day (2086 -500 =…

BMR is the daily amount of calories you need just to fuel your body for one day, assuming your basically resting all day. Rules of thumb: - to loose one pound a week you consume your BMR-500 calories each day (3500 calories a week (500x7)) - to loose one and a half pounds a week you consume your BMR-750 calories each day.…

I've been using the pedometer on my IPOD to try and get in at lest 5000 over the day it really helps with giving some extra calories each day while still loosing.

when my wife was pregnant with out first i gained 10 lbs developed stretch marks :-o

I do as well but I don't worry about that. Unless you are concerned for medical reasons I wouldn't stress over it.

I just tried and I love it too. It’s especially good if you're like me, don't like the taste of water, and would end up drinking juice, milk, pop anything else all of which comes with significant calories. I used to buy the floured water but now I've mostly switched to MiO.

Reply to bw_conway That pretty much summarizes what I'm thinking only the reciprocal. I feel like running is something meant to be done outside on the road. Like I said my quirk not intended to be a judgement on all the treadmill runners out there just confession of my thoughts on the question from the original thread.

hey there you sound like you need some support I wish you all the luck in the world. With a lot to to loose myself I try to focus on my weekly goals. Each week I just say by next week I want be X pounds so just 1 pound off feels like a success. Week on week that builds. Even if I plateau for a week I consider the a…

best of luck . With a lot to I want to loose I try to focus on weekly goals. Each week I just say by next week I want be X pounds so just 1 pound off feels like a success. Week on week that builds. Even if I plateau for a week I consider the a successful week since i didn't gain any back.

Your story is very touching .I really hope this works for you. And coo dos to your Grampa as well. I'd second Via's comments you are a very pretty girl and studying nursing I immange t you to be a very caring person as well. When my wife saw I was doing this she wanted to try it too and is also really enjoying it. I have…

I find BMI number to be too light unless you have very small frame. Look for calculator that adjusts for frame six. They use ether wrist circumference or forearm length account for the size of your skeleton. As a 5' 5' male BMI has my with range from 125-145 lbs which is crazy I hit 140 lbs in collage and looked like…

Great stuff love MIO......( was skeptical from the commercial but damn I like it) I don't like the taste of water and can't stand the taste of aspartame but Sucralose if Ok.... I was really pissed when coke decided not to use Sucralose in coke zero they went with aspartame and as a result it tastes awful. two thumbs up for…
