I have to have a cheat day one a week. I have heard a lot of good things about what it does for you metabolism, but for me it is sanity. I enjoy my wings and fries once a week and don't worry about logging that day. It keeps me from falling off the wagon completely and I come back the next day knowing that the scale isn't…

I would do anything that you couldn't see yourself doing for the long haul. If you cheat yourself of all the "good stuff" just to loose weight, it will all come back when you stop. I try to get a good amount of protein in because it keeps me from getting hungry so much. Protein is expensive though. Definitely check in to…

I lost a good deal of weight by just eating within my calories. I didn't watch what I ate some much, I just limited the amounts that I was eating and cut out the big no-nos like fried foods and sugars. That said here are somethings that I have been doing recently to keep loosing weight. Cutting out the carbs after lunch as…

Do you have a cheat day? I hear that one a week keeps your metabolism higher. It also helps with your sanity and motivation to have one day a week where you can eat whatever you want. The main thing is that you need to change something up because you body is getting accustomed to your new life style changes.

My Dad has made a full recovery and he and Mom and trying to do better with their eating habits. They are exercising and Dad is finally on the blood pressure meds that he has needed for a while. Thanks for your concern!

If you are weighing every day you will see a fluctuation everyday depending on what and when you ate, and when you weighed etc. What I do to battle this is I only tell myself or anyone else for that matter a new weight if I have seen it two day in a row. For example when I see 215 for the first time I won't really believe…

Here are a few of my favorite breakfasts. A whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter and honey with a small protein shake. Eggs scrambled with salsa. Fried eggs on a bagel thin with low fat cream cheese. Or if I'm in a hurry (like this morning) I'll just make a large protein shake. Hope this help!

I tried the belt thing for a while but I was getting to the point where I had so much bunched up, up under my belt that it was ridiculous. I've dropped from a 44" down to 36" as I figured out the other day. I was able to get a few hand me downs from my Dad that I gave him when I grew out of them. I also have a mother in…

Honey works great! I put a tablespoon in my coffee in the morning and am working on cutting that down. It's 60 calories but I budget around it. I also put a little cinnamon in it for flavor and the health benefits. I've discovered that since I've cut out so much sugar and such that I can actually enjoy unsweetened iced tea…

I'm right there with you boss man. Recently dropped under 300 myself. We've just got to keep working at it.
