It took me 10 weeks to lose 30 pounds. I am now into my 14th week and am down 40 lbs. I plan to lose another 10 lbs over the next few weeks. I will have dropped a total of 50 lbs. in almost exactly four months. (from September 25th to January 23rd) This will put me at my ideal weight of 168 pounds. Nothing to it! PS: Now,…

I have been a major choco-holic all of my life. Luckily, my wife makes the most decadent chewy chocolate cookies I have ever eaten... which just so happen to be fat-free, and under 50 calories. I kid you not!

Yes, it certainly is possible. I started the last week of September, when I weighed 219.5 lbs. and I am currently down 35.5 lbs. (to 184 lbs.) I am on track to be at my goal weight of 168 lbs. by the time I next see my doctor on January 22nd. That's a drop of 51.5 lbs in just four months.

Of course it is accurate... but only if you continued consuming the same amount of calories, and continued with the same amount of exercise. I have been tracking mine for the past 11 weeks and it is almost spot on.

I live in Northern Newfoundland, so there are not many opportunities for outside exercise this time of year. I am disabled with a permanent spinal injury, (am…

Hi Sharon, You can count me in! I started here the last week of September, and have lost 32 pounds to date. I am married (for 28 years) with two grown daughters. We reside on a remote and breathtakingly scenic island located a one hour ferry ride off the northeast coast of Newfoundland. I am an avid nature/landscape…

I absolutely, positively CANNOT drink water!!! It has to be diet soda or juice of some sort. Also, when I have a bunch of leftover calories I will treat myself to a (large) Tootsie Roll! I learned not too long ago that Tootsie Rolls actually contain about the lowest fat content of any sweet, chewy, chocolatey delicious…

Yesterday was my first time on my brand-spanking new treadmill, and so far my body is not complaining too loudly. I will surely be taking this new-found excercise slow and steady. Considering that I am mostly bedridden with permanent spinal issues, I am VERY pleased to have walked a full mile! (1.6km) I was recently…

Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" is certainly right up there.

Greetings from Newfoundland, Canada! You sir, and also your dear wife, are an inspiration! Your story gives me strength and courage to stick to my own weight loss plan, which I am just three weeks into. I have very limited mobility, due to suffering a permanent spinal injury nine years ago, so with so little opportunity to…
