Good luck moving from 'skinny fat' to 'muscle man' !:drinker:

I picked up a quote from one of my MFP friends: "Nothing tastes, as good as skinny feels." You just proved !!! Congrats !!!

Any new updated pics? hope all going well !

chocolate ANYTHING !! :devil:

Here is a cool way I encourage myself and keep it 'in perspective'. First - there is an myFitnessPall app for your iPhone. On it (I don't see it on the web application), there is a button on the home page called "Weekly". It shows you the 'net calories FOR THE WEEK'. I think they know everyone has 'one of those days' (or…

Thanks !!!

Tooo funny !! I looked up every text/IM/acronym finder I could think of and NONE of them had that one !! Thanks

Can you tell me what NSV stands for?

You sure that is you in both pictures - wow !! There is hope for my husband :laugh:

This is really awesome - I am jealous that guys lose weight so much faster than women - but the inspiration is most AWESOME !!

Very interesting. I'd be curious to see how close it is to the Atkins diet, and the South Beach Diet (phase 1) which is also 2 weeks. I did South Beach years ago and shed a LOT in the first 2 weeks. Problem is, I didn't like the menu too much - not what I normally eat. Was great for 10 years, but the weight came back. So…

Great job !!!

If you have just started trying to lose weight last week, your body may take a week or two to realize you are serious about weight loss. Your metabolism needs to get a jump start. Hang in there! BTW - that dress is gorgeous !!!!

Most awesome !!! Please let me know how accurate it is ... I haven't started writing down the 5 week prediction ... But I certainly like the possibility it shows (and sometimes alter what I eat to make it better if I can !!)

This is what friends are for ... if you need ME to eat your extra calories ... I would certainly be willing LOL !!

Good for you BroDave !!

Got it - I have never tried to look at someone else's profile - always saw it was 'private unless friended'. I did take a peak and here are a couple of thoughts. First, you are WAY over on your salt. I am not sure why that allocation changes becuase the max a person should have is 1500-1800 - but 2500?!?!?! Just be careful…

sure - friend me and i think i can see it then

I've been slower at getting the weight down than I hoped - and I've been workin' my butt off !!. But I gotta tell ya -- when I see that 5 week estimate I realize there IS hope and I get motivated to stay with it just a little longer !! Keep with it - and congrats on the goals.

I am not a morning workout person. I wake up waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy slow. I have tried setting the alarm for 5am so I can get up, wake up, exercise, shower, and get to work by 7:30am. Fails every time. I do it for about a month, and then I look for the shotgun to take out the alarm clock :) I find the best motivation is…

Looks like you and I are on the same weight & goal plan :happy: I saw your signature block and it looks exactly like mine - including weight lost to date !! I really like MFP so far - even on days like today when I get stuck at the same weight for a while. Good luck to ya !

MOST AWESOME !!!

Thanks !

I think the main thing is that there is no 'magic' answer that works for everyone. For the 60Mile biker ... good for you. I love biking but had gotten out of it. My son and I will be biking 184 miles on the C&O canal in June with the Boy Scouts -- that's my motivation right now!! But I would have never considered bikes…

Congrats! I did South Beach the first time I lost 25 pounds!! Slowly over about 4 years it came back, so I am trying to lose it again. I couldn't stand the site of South Beach menus any more, so I just eat right and exercise ... everything in moderation right :bigsmile: My best recommendation is to get into a routine. Say…
