And a "big guy" sat next to me (of course) ... but I didn't feel crowded. :)

1st plane trip after -82 lbs. lots of extra seat belt!!!

I got called "skeletor" today! :)

I bought a new, low size jean last night - men's 36 (down from 46). What's weird for me - I pick up the pants and they just look to small ... like I can't fit in those, and put them on and they fit - but they just look weird to me. And different from 38's to 36's ... there's less belt loops! Or maybe it's switching from…

Out in-house fitness person, is referring people to me, to discuss weight loss. :smile:

Next issue - right side of left toe is swollen and painful to touch, soreness extends down around bottom (towards ankle) of toenail. Googling says ingrown toenail. But it's not ingrown. I think it started in some Keen hiking tennis shoes - I stopped walking distance in those, switched to old Brooks trail running shoes,…

I think we should start by getting our (the US) govt. to stop subsidizing corn. The end of the "high-fructose corn syrup" subsidy would be passed on to consumers, and drive up the costs of "junk food" substantially, without a tax. And in this "era" of anti-"big government" and anti-departments/agencies - you'd think it…

The "blister" under my left ball of foot (about the size of a nickle) peeled off - I guess it's turning into a callous. :)

I found someone with a leather punch - but I have a very sturdy, solid, supportive leather belt - and I could barely punch a hole in it. Drill zips right through it. :)

Thanks everyone - I did get fitted for shoes, but that was years ago and they're falling apart. New good running shoes is high on my list to buy. Also better socks. And Body Glide. :)

I was putting on pants the other day, and noticed I accidentally buckled around my REAL waist (where my belly button is), and not my "normal waist" (below my "beer belly") ... and I didn't think I looked like a dork or an "old man" who hikes up his pants.

Just got a "every time I see you, you're slimmer. You're looking good!" :)

Ps. Black Coffee is my "allowed" vice.

I used to drink a lot of coke zero, pepsi max, diet coke if I had to. I just wanted to wean myself off of craving "sweet". it wasn't the diet drinks, it was the other sweet and "carby" foods that went with the diet drinks - pizza, fried, salty carbs, etc. I don't know, a week or two? For motivation: more $$$ I'll have one…

<200 for the first time since I can remember as an adult. I'm @ 204.7 from 260.

I'm out of 40's! From size 46 to size 38!

Just losing weight - and I guess fat has been hiding muscles and veins. So starting to notice them - and started lifting weights a few weeks ago - but don't feel "muscular" yet - or "hulked out".

The trendlines help me with the fluctuations. Especially SALT which is evil ... instantly gain 2 or 3 pounds!!! ARGH!!! ... but then I drink a lot of water .... it's the trendlines that help. :smile:

i don't want to sustain 1300-1500 cal ... once I get to goal, I want to work with my Dr. and figure out "what I should be" - and then eat enough cal's to stay even, or even eat more and gain muscle. :smile:

Here's to -100!!! :smile:

I'm using excel - and have "conditional formatting" - for instance, if >=100 then red, if <100 then green. :smile:

Yes. I'm aiming for 1000 cal 100 carbs, but actually averaging about 1350 cal and 90 carbs. And I'm exercising an average 80 minutes/day. Just walked 5 miles uphill treadmill this am, for 1100 cal, according to treadmill. I started at 260.

Wow what a change! Great work! I'm 50, and a few months into my weight loss - and coming off diabetes med's myself. I've just started weight training, and would like to look like you - any tips in starting a weight training regimen? I've "discovered" my "chest" was really just fat ... and now, I don't have one. So, I want…

I've been tracking in a spreadsheet, and my average for 9 weeks is 1350 cal. Sometimes I will fast, and eat near 0, sometimes I will be over and be near 2500. I shoot for 1000, which I already know people will say unhealthy. But my average has been 1350 cal, 80 min exercise. And about 95 g carbs. I'm shooting for <100g…

So, woke up this morning, with my right shoulder really hurting, and can't lift my arm. Thought - oh, I tore something ... :( . Went to ortho Dr., and "just" bursitis. :( Take anti-inflamatory, and some physical therapy - will discuss STRETCHING and warm up with them ... oh well. at least I can still walk.

Yep. MFP tells me when I go under, I talked to the nurse at gym about it, and will talk to doc about it.

I'm at the doc right now, waiting to get blood sucked by the lab, to see if he wants to reduce meds. I've been fasting since last night - and I worked out with weights and cardio this am, with no food - and am really feeling the hunger and weakness this morning waiting on lab work. Traditionally, after doctor visits, I'd…
