yes, it goes make a difference. That is actually how I had to start weight loss as I was that far out of shape. Now I make sure that I walk at least 3 miles a day but shoot for 5. The ke is that you are moving and movement expends energy. Energy= calories so every step does help. My knees are shot so I'll never run but I…

looks like a group thats appropriate for me....

don't call it a cheat day or cheat anything. If you want something, eat it, just know its caloric content and be aware of how it fits in to your diet. Then ask yourself, "is it worth it?" Its amazing how often you'll say no, so the occasional yes fits right in. While I do enjoy going out occasionally and indulging, I still…

1200 except on party night ;)

a/c unit lost.. no wonder why its so hot in here.. before im done i wil lose not one, but TWO elephant penises.

I lived this way and thats why I am dieting now. No breakfast, Fast food for lunch, fast food for dinner. Turned out I was eating over 3000 calories per day in that 8 hour period. So now I'm being responsible (basically) and trying to lose those 8 hours over 16 months. I didn't try to diet like that, but I never ate…

the real test is when ya can look down and see that its still attached. Reached that goal about a month ago :laugh: :tongue: :laugh:

i was right again :tongue: just write it off and try not to do it again.. We all fall off the wagon. The key to success is to get back on it before the wheels run us over.:smile:

I just set mfp to sedentary and let my fitbit zip keep track. Anything I do that doesn't get logged is just a bonus towards losing weight. If you try to track everything, you'd join me at the funny farm. The goal is losing weight, not finding excuses to eat more, which is usually the case when we look to add relatively…

Being really out of shape will do that.. Assume you weigh 150 pounds.... then strap on an 80 pound bag of concrete and maintain 4 mph for an hour or so.. Guarantee your heart rate will climb.

I dont think planet fitness would like me much if I tried that, but what the hell... The dream is still there...losing the weight is a step towards that dream.

I cant do elliptical yet, tried but put me in ER.. Swimming I do when I can.. I was a red cross swimming instructor years ago and still teach kids how to swim.. What exactly is spinning ?

Note my weight loss pic is canoeing with my daughter. My doctor says I should be able to get back in my kayak in about a year (but will be stuck to pretty much class2+ or lower. Doc told me I should give it up entirely but its too much fun.. Its doubtful that I will ever bowl, golf, play tennis, etc,., ever again, but the…

I assure you, every step I take falls in that category. Ive had knee surgery, back surgery and have been using a cane for a few years. When I started I was lucky to do a 1/2 mile at 2.5 mph. Now I am doing 5 at 4.0 with a slight incline. Yes, I still hold on to the treadmill, but only to steady myself. Running is simply…

I use pimento cheese spread, tuna, or egg salad sandwiches... does the trick for me

did ya save the other half as a twin??:laugh: seriously.. CONGRATS ON YOUR LOSS !!!!! (sure am glad this isnt a mourning forum.. my last statement wouldve been kinda awkward :tongue: )

rude.. arrogant... umm..nope we all are keeps life interesting:yawn:

There's plenty of groups around.. I'm 48 and still play. For you, I'm sure there are.. especially with Tinker AFB nearby.

Love the story and am in the same boat doing the same thing... My next little goal is to get below 230. Im a little nervous about it because when I tried to lose weight about 15 years ago it was my nemesis. I plateaued and couldn't lose no matter what I did so I gave up and gained it all back and then some. Back then…

that says it all... Check please! I'm so geeky I can honestly say I played D&D even before it came out (started as a small box game called "Melee") Still looking for someone to beam up a Cylon into an x-wing from moonbase Alpha. No spain here.. lived in Tokyo for a couple of years but never did see Godzilla there...…

Anything that tastes THAT nasty must be good for you. Why else would anyone drink it?!? Give me the real thing. :laugh:

Drop sugar?!?!?!?? DON'T!!!! If you drop something you really really crave, you're diet is more likely to fail. Also artificial sweeteners are actually worse for you PLUS they have been linked to cancer. Dont go hog wild with it, but trust me, going without completely is a BAD idea. Same thing holds true for butter. In the…

I completely agree.. I live alone and HATE to cook. Tried the crock pot but I find it too difficult to keep track of calories. Im real bad about simple meals when I do cook (one item) so I'm careful to mix it up, for instance, I'll have a can of tuna for breakfast, a bowl of corn with a slice of cheese melted over it for…

I dreamed that I was eating a giant marshmellow and in the morning my pillow was gone... (ok.. ya HAD to know this one was coming :laugh: )

KICK... don't be a failure.. be a loser like the rest of us.. (watch for puns crossing) kick..kick..ooops foot stuck...YANK! we all need a good kick in da tushy every now and thenn don't sweat it and get back on track. consider your derailment over and hop aboard the new weight loss train !!

This is a topic, as a man, Im normally silent about. Im not big on sex, yea its fun, but I'd rather just have the relationship.. ANYWAYS.., I was amazed by this comment referring to sex as a "commodity". Unless you are selling sex (or trading it) then it is not a commodity. Save it, sure. Wait until you know the guy,: even…

I have 4 pinched nerves in my back so I understand pain. I've even had surgery with little success. I started at PF too. I found the best exercise to start with is the elliptical as it offers a good cardio without any jolting. The good news is that as you lose weight the pain does subside. I rarely use my cane now. and…

Guess I'm the oddball, but I weigh myself every evening when I get home from the gym with gym shorts on, then I cook dinner.

1000 calories/day is a diet, not a lifestyle. This means that chances are when you stop your diet the weight will return. If you really want to lose it and keep it off, then be reasonable. Just figure out how many calories you need to maintain the lower weight you want based upon that and your activity level and eat that.…

Ive lost 40 lbs and still really don't notice much difference. I was amazed to find a ride at the amusement park that I couldn't ride with my daughter I now can. My daughter told me I don't look pregnant anymore as well. So the difference is not as easily noticeable by the person losing the weight, but I assure you, its…
