Walking is where I started, then I joined gym and do elliptical.. a lot. I am now doing a lot more weights. My suggestion: Get an elliptical (buy, rent, steal, join gym).. Its the fastest calories off, and burning calories with food deficit will get your lbs off. EDIT: Thought you wanted to lose 112lbs DOH.. Weights are…

The iWatch (apple) will probably be announced this week. I use a free app called Pacer. It connects to MFP, and as long as I have my phone in my pocket, its tracking. I average over 16K step a day, and its FREE $0

I really love the monthly group. I went back and looked at last 3 months: Very motivational!!! With that said: Lets go!! My original overall goal weight was 190, I am going to shoot for 180 now :D Why not bring the BMI down to AWESOME level SW: (Starting weight): 237.3 CW: (Current weight): 191.6 GW: (Goal weight for the…

AMAZING Job CYBERED!!! I am still a slave to my scale, but at some point it may join my other scale in the closet :)

SAME!! I had no idea I was consuming >4000 calories a day and >8000mg of Sodium. With High blood pressure, my doc said: Cut back on sodium. I thought I had, HAHA Oh, and the high blood pressure? " It's gone.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! See you in September!!

Everyone here is right on the money: If you go a little over, you lose a little less than the 2lbs you have set. In the grand scheme of things, the deficit your body sees is not a 24 hour thing. Over a period of time, the deficit is the weight loss. Easy to get back on track. As said above: Don't sweat it. Just don't do it…

This is my first time attempting to slim down. The progress alone is my greatest motivator. (Well, maybe the great people I have met here too) Adding friends and sharing your diary creates accountability and knowing the gains made can be reversed with little effort have kept me on track. My mind has gone to all kinds of…

NICE JOB!!! See you in Sept!!

Never tried it, but I don't like reviews like this: (from amazon) Here are some measurements I've gotten from repeatedly stepping on and off again, taking care to place my feet in precisely the same way each time: 210.3, 233.6, 228.9, 251.0, 248.7, 215.5, 231.2, 244.9.

Eat Smart Precision Bathroom Scale :) Its my favorite.

I lost the majority of my weight on the elliptical (The stride rite to be exact) Started on resistance 1 and worked my way up. Its amazing how fast you can progress up. The heart monitor (or better yet- your body) will tell you if you over do it) I also did weights (much less than elliptical) to maintain strength. 43 lbs…

I went 2 decades... Not sure if the 12oz curls count as lifting. Bulk was very successful!

Do you have his address?? ;)

Great replay!! Its great to hear from someone who has done it. It looks like the initial advice I got was good: Lose the pounds, but lift enough to keep the strength and muscle you have. I think I have done that for the most part. So it looks like I am in good shape. I will start a structured program on the 2nd. That will…

I only eat McDonald for 8 weeks. lost 43 pounds.. Going for 2 more Big Macs right now, but I think the fries or the shakes is what makes us lose so much weight. We should sell the diet

FAT-*kitten* to BAD-*kitten* ****.. That's what I was trying to say!!!!!!!

In 3 weeks Ill weigh 112.. LOL Good info all around. I think I have a good idea of where I need to go. And to clarify: I am coming from FAT-*kitten* and now looking to buff up a little :D

Not fed up at all. The weight has fallen of very fast. My stomach is flat, my *kitten* is skin, and the muscle I had still seems to be there (except in my *kitten*) - Legs have gotten pretty skinny too. My plan was to make the turn at 190 (although I used 185 in my example). Since losing weight is not hard for me (sorry…

Based on the Navy calculator which uses all measurements, I am at 19.5% On the height / weight / waist calculator I am at 22% Given the "wait until you are at 15%", I will need to drop to about 160lbs before starting a meaningful weight training program.

I do Cardio every visit and lift 3 days per week. I currently do not have a weight training plan only because my focus has been weight loss. I alternate lifting as follows: Day 1 -Legs/Abs Day 2- Chest/Back Day 3- Arms/Shoulders My frequency has been driven by Cardio and my schedule will likely change when I move to weight…

My advice: Don’t try a bunch of whacky diets, cleanses, water fasts… Find something that burns calories without too much pain. I think an elliptical is the best calorie burner, as long as you increment up and do not stay at the same pace / level too long. Sit ups would take 12,000 years to burn the same calories . Set up…

I don't eat my exercise calories back.

AWESOME JOB!!! You look great!

He should have said: Slacker with a lot of excuses....
