The thing is....I don't need help. I've lost 90 pounds without any suffering whatsoever and my weight loss has actually accelerated as I've moved forward. What I am doing is working for me. The only point of my post was that if you stop eating foods that make you crave, if you just eat healthy, it is easy to keep your…

Resistance bands are great and they cost like 7 dollars. You can fairly closely simulate a Bow Flex for 7 bucks lol.

I think people got the wrong idea about me. I stay 1200 or lower one time a week or so, not every day. I was just making the point that it is fairly easy to to if you eat the right stuff.

Whatever I'm doing, it's been working pretty good for me.

I definitely agree that the way to be successful at any lifestyle change is to not be miserable doing it.

When I get rid of this last 10 pounds of belly fat I'll start worrying about my muscle mass, but I'm not exactly wasting away at 185 and 5'11.

Yeah, anybody who calls what they do "dieting" is going to gain the weight back.

I kind of doubt it. If people paid attention to what I initially wrote I said I eat only 1200 calories on days I don't exercise. That is like one or two days a week. Most days I am eating 1500-1800 calories and walking 4-8 miles.

I am probably going to die from cancer brought on by artificial sweeteners but at least I won't be fat in my casket.

Maybe. But I've lost 90 pounds and I just had a full physical, and the Dr. says I am a helluva lot healthier than when I was fat.

I agree that anybody who makes themselves miserable while losing the weight is only going to gain in back.

Agreed. Cut that stuff out of my diet and staying right around 1200 was no sweat after that.

On days I don't exercise I don't have any problem staying below 1200 calories. I will eat 2/3 of a cup of oatmeal in the morning, which is 200 calories, then do a tuna salad with lettuce at lunch for 250 calories. Then i will eat 2 chicken breasts and some vegetables at dinner for 300 calories, and a half cup of frozen…

But the other thing is.......Hank's not happy...so I don't want to be him.

The best thing about being Hank Moody is constantly running into hot chicks who want to sleep with him instantly for no apparent reason.

You wouldn't think. That chick that won the Biggest Loser was spending 6 hours a day working out.

Nevermind, found the answer to my own question. Wasn't even aware that album existed.

Do you mean "Women and Children First" or is there an actual album called "Van Halen III".

Maybe a person can train so much that they hurt themselves, but I don't think a person can train so much that it slows down their metabolism. Maybe I am wrong about that but that would be a new one on me.

I knew my very simple answer would tweak somebody lol. The point of my post was this - your entire post is about the fact that you are exercising but not losing weight, yet you never at any point mention your caloric intake. The caloric intake vs. calories burned is what you need to focus on to lose weight. You can…

Harlem Shuffle by the Rolling Stones. Horrid song.

I think it is very difficult to do what you are asking. I have a similar situation, I want to build upper body mass, but I want to get rid of 10-12 pounds of belly fat as well. After reading all of the advice on how I could do both at the same time, I decided it was best just to concentrate on burning off the belly fat,…

The only possible thing you could be doing wrong is eating too many calories.

I have a goal weight, but the more important goal is how I want my body to look. If your body looks the way you want it to look and you feel the way you want to feel then I wouldn't sweat if you land exactly on your goal weight.

Ok I am joining way late but I am a big walker and this seems like a good way to keep track. I did a 4 mile walk on Saturday morning, Saturday evening, and Sunday morning, so I have 12 miles and 180 minutes for the weekend. Unfortunately the weather is crappy now, probably won't get any in today.

This dude wrote this one minute and 42 second skit to be funny, but it is really an incredible instructive video on how a man should show empathy in a relationship. My marriage counselor made me watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg

That is pretty hilarious.
