I'm almost 300 lbs and my SO is about 92 lbs and very beautiful. She seems to think there's something attractive about me. I am a pretty funny guy but other than that I'm not sure why someone would want to date someone so overweight. But hey I'm not complaining!

Wow, those are some very high calorie estimates though. I had cut out fast food for lunch and replaced it with some veggies to lower my calorie intake as I need to lose a lot of weight. If the smoothies throw 600-800 calories into my day, that can't possibly help me lose weight, can it? I'm thinking maybe I should politely…

So you'd aim for 800 cal for the 24 oz serving I have? Even some of the highest cal fruit smoothies I've found in the database put me around 564 cal for 24 oz.

Anybody?

Interesting feedback here. I also watched that movie and was very inspired by it, I had hoped to some day do the whole 60 day deal just like in the movie, but don't own a juicer currently. Being near my goal weight in two months seems amazing, whatever the cost. I guess I should do more research on it.

Sorry about that, I'm having an issue with MFP where just about every 24 hours, all of my settings reset? Every day my email settings and diary settings go back to defaults and the MFP app on my phone fails authentication so I have to log out and log in.. Guess I have to contact support. Diary is back open (for today, at…

I really appreciate all of the replies and the advice. The main suggestions I get from friends and family are generally about homemade foods or recipes that I should try. Things like "Cook this" "Make that" it always involves preparing something by cooking or cutting or washing. I have a couple of challenges with proper…

Opened my diary to the public. I'm open to suggestions. But I'd really love to just never be hungry. When I had a cold, I could have my favorite food steaming in my face and just think "Eh, I'll pass, not in the mood."

I've struggled with this problem for many years. My solution: Video games!! It sounds kind of weird, but I've found that if I'm reading or watching TV, I WILL SNACK and I will not stop. Playing video games occupies my hands, I'll go hours without eating if I'm playing a fast-paced game on PlayStation, Xbox, or the PC. It's…

I wouldn't say I'm on a low-carb diet, mostly because I can't figure out how people take in so few carbs in a day, can't find foods that are that low in carbs that I could eat! But I do try to avoid carbs as much as possible. One awesome low-carb snack (though very high in sodium) is beef jerkey! Probably the best low-carb…

Thanks again everyone, I never expected to get so many people responding and adding me as a friend!! The amount of weight some of you have lost and kept off is really inspirational for me, losing 100+ lbs seemed kind of unrealistic to me before, but now it sounds possible. Those of you who have dropped drastic amounts of…

I'm in the same boat, over 100 lbs to go. I know what you mean with the body adjusting, the first couple days last week I was so starving and it was agonizing to walk 1.5 miles. Now I hardly notice how much less I'm eating, and the walk is so easy!

Thanks everyone! Wow I never knew the MFP community was so active. I've got a handful of new friends already. Awesome! :D
