  • I too was a big eater, in more ways than one. i still think of buffets as the ultimate high, but I have managed to change that. One meal a day, with the right number of calories to make intake < expenditure, will work to make you lose weight, but it is likely to be slower, and it will not ultimately be sustainable, as you…
  • Are you monitoring your measurements and tracking them on MFP? It may be, with all the exercise you do, that you're building up muscle which weighs heavier.

  • Eat at maintenance, but try some exercises which concentrate on your waist.
  • Oh, the old motivation thing! I recognise that. Carrot or Stick? (Carrot Cake or Stick of Rock :)) Just the fact you've written this post is good.
