Its too bad we can't "Wish away" weight. Eating under calories and adding exercise to help drive that offset works wonders. Its the whole point of MFP. Know what you are consuming.. make sure that number is lower than your what you burn in a day. Works awesome!! Setting a goal, and driving to that enthusiastically has…

Doughnuts??

My First NSV was having to buy new underwear.. My boxer-briefs no longer supported anything but air :D Its awesome!!

Controversial? Yes You do not list your starting / ending weight which makes it difficult to judge. You will beaten by the forums for this, but its doable. I expect to have lost 50lbs in 90 days since starting. Hint, today is day 89 My method: Eat to my calories goals (1800-1900) and not eat back exercise calories…

Add some active friends. Find some people that had 100+ to lose and are on their way. This works great, its just a mater of "doing it". Good luck!! Glad you are here!! One on my awesome friends just went past the - 200 mark. You can do this!

+1 Fatties!!!!

Rude? Probably.. But it could also be motivational. You are on the right path: You want to lose weight. If you put in the effort, it will happen, and you will see results. If you half-*kitten* your attempt not so much. You should have said: Sure, when can we meet up :)

HOLD ON!! I saw her running, and, well............ It was scary. I called my friends, and they came and watched too. A couple cars stopped too OK, I don't have any friends, you caught me

At 25 they started looking a little weird, at 40 they said: Is something different At 47 (almost 50) they said: Oh ****, your skinny now.. whats wrong, sick? LOL

If you do not have high blood pressure or pre-high blood pressure, its not as concerning. I had high blood pressure for 20+ years. Once I lost 40 lbs, BP went to normal AS LONG as I keep sodium close to 2300. I go over, its hard not to, but the reality is: Many people eat 4X and 6X the recommended sodium.

That's frickin' awesome. Great job! PS, I like the car avatar. above. :D

I put active, and walk about 15K steps a day. That seems to avg out about right. I don't log this as exercise. If you use a pedometer (I use a free one on my phone called Pacer) you should be able to guestimate level >6000 step - Sedentary 6000-9999 - Lightly Active 10K and up - Active After a while, you will be able to…

Looking great!! I bet you feel great too!! Stay at it, you are rockin this thing!

Find ways to protect them from a drop off a building.. Its fun.

Rage quit... HAHA what a whacko! I hope she pulls a White Goodman

In terms of elliptical" The calculation MFP uses is based on a strenuous workout. I found it matched the machine very closely when the machine was on resistance 15 and pace was "fast" (>10 min mile) If you cruise along at resistance 2 chatting with the person next to you, the MPF calculation is WAY off. If you push really…

I think you got your answer. People being late on another occasion has nothing to do with you coming in 15 minutes late now. Probably best to just find something else to do. Usually people here are pretty divided.. not this time. It was you :D

I hit goal today at 190 (same height as you).. I changed goal to 180 and that is where I will reassess What is your current weight? I'm assuming 170ish.. I would just eat at maintain (maybe a slight excess) This should build the muscle you want, give you the energy you need and still burn off the little fat that is left.…

Guy flew off the other night at the gym. I keep my music REAL loud, and I still heard the huge thud. He was bright red :D Worst thing that happened to me was farting on the elliptical.. again.. my music made it all better

swagger In terms of weight: Your target is 165 - 175 In reality, 180 would put you in pretty good shape. I'm 6' 0" and started at 143 My original goal was 200, then 190. I plan to change my goal to 180 as soon as I hit goal #2. MFP does wonders if you use it Same holds true with your boner: Get out there and use it before…

"Are you sick or something?"... :D

A true calorie deficit will result in weight loss up until you are skin and bones... It is impossible to maintain weight with a calories deficit over a 365 day period. Period. So, the only answer: You are not eating a deficit. There may be other issues which contribute to the issue. MPF has a great logging feature, a way…

The same group said size doesn't matter

They say slow and steady wins the race. I wanted faster, so I ate my "normal food" (weighed and in proper proportions) - Tracked all my food to the grape (1000 cal deficit) , and did an *kitten* ton of cardio. Seems to be working Edit- You will notice the posters above give great advice, and look at their tickers.. LOSERS…

You did not (specifically) say Net or Gross Calories. I typically eat 1700 - 1800 (gross) but net avg is around 1000. Edit: Did the math: Avg for 74 days: 1194 NET

Sparking water, flavored water, and coke zero.. I know a lot of people say no to the "diet sodas".. but others on here (who have lost 100's of pounds- say screw it: I like it, and its zero calories.) I drink Coke Zero from time to time.

Give your date Ruffies.. he wont notice you aren't drinking. That also opens up a lot of fun options: Like leave him on the tube :D
