I'm not an expert., but when someone puts you down, I think it's time to upgrade.

Great tool. I drink a lot of water, but was surprised by how much they said I should drink.

It has been about 6 mos for my wife and me. Although, we no longer consider it a diet. Its just the way we eat now. The way we eat and exercise have become a part of our daily routine.

I have had surgery on both knees. I know it's hard to get the exercise in when there is pain to deal with. Most of the times I just power through. Other times, if the pain is too great, I take the day off. I also have Hoshimoto's thyrioditis that affects metabolism and hinders weight loss. I just keep plugging away and I'm…

ditto!!!!

Congratulations! It's good to have others notice the results of your hard work and dedication. One compliment is good for weeks of motivation.

Hey Jon. I'm Dave. I started working at when I weighed 258, joined MFP at 250. I'm down to 223 now. I'm doing cardio 5x and strength 3x per wk. Welcome to the site. Lots of tools to help you. Good luck.

Hi Steph. Welcome. This site really motivates me, especially on the days I don't want to exercise. I just log on and see other people are doing their workouts and losing weight. You can do it! You can add me for encouragement.

From a stay at home dad of 2 boys still in diapers, lightly active is an understatement. I am set at likely active. I think that would be safe for you.

I wouldn't worry about bone size right now. Have a go at making healthier food choices and physical activity. You can do it! Good luck.

Welcome. You can do it! Feel free to add me. Good luck.

Ok. That makes sense. I try to eat clean Sun.-Fri., but maybe if I incorporate some of the items I crave into my daily meals, I can eliminate the cheat meal.

Good idea.

Good to meet you. Friend request already sent.

Welcome! You can do it! Good luck.

Hang in there. You should get that physical; the results may motivate you to do more. It's easy to get discouraged, especially when your working hard and not losing. Just keep at it. I find that when I exercise when I don't want to I feel the best. It's ok to backslide, don't quit trying.

Welcome. You can do it.

4 years...WOW! Congrats! With that kind of dedication you'll reach your goals in no time. Good luck.

hi. you can do it! good luck.
