I notice things like being able to wail longer on my harps/harmonica. Clothes- I got to go out and buy smaller clothes. Especially shirts and pants AND - i didn't have to buy bigger sizes...Aside, I wonder if I am the only magician who had to take his strait jacket to a tailor to have it "let out", as i got to big to be…

I started with light lifting, then moved to heavier. (I moved too fast) Then I was into cardio a lot. 4-6 spin classes a week. Now I have toned it down to 3 cardio classes and light weights. The light weights also includes push ups and yoga stretches.(Cow and Cat mostly between push up sets)

I like the idea of planning and pre-logging. I'm going to start that.

My scale also records everything I don't tally. I used to weigh every day, now I don't do it so often. I'm not "The Number", but the number does reflect on my choices. Got to watch out that guilt does not become shame. Progress not perfection as "they" say. So far I have not eaten any Halloween you know what. The reason,…

comfort , boredom, pairing things like read & cookies, tv & cookies, writing & cookies..at least that's how it was. 1 was too many 1000 not enough so I stopped before the 1st one. It's the engine not the caboose that would get to you if you stepped in front of a train. Had a 10 day creeping small to large binge on chunk…

I choose not to touch or eat Brussels Sprouts. My wife sometimes looks at my plate and says do you actually like it or is it just for health. I LIKE what I eat.

With exercise, I do the opposite. Since I find the exercise calories a bit on the high side, I don't use the total number calculated. Sometimes instead of recording an hour of cycling I might record say 30 minutes. As I have lost weight, I have found action not thought gets me into steady exercise.

Some of those restaurant salads are a worse choice than you think. I was back on the binge(cheese) yesterday Got an eye opener when I clicked complete entry and saw the potential weight gain in 5 weeks ... HELLO. its good to see the complete picture. love and prayers D.L.

Small changes over time, make for great results. I learn from my success as well as my set backs. Keep growing and glowing in your journey to health. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

The reason I don't start on certain foods, is because I don't have the will power. The 1 is too many applies to things like brownies, cake, pie and now chunk cheese.

When I eat sugar, the sugar tells me to eat more sugar. With a history of diabetes in my family and my former weight gain, I find limiting it and not eating it in desert form, helpful for me. To each his or her own journey. Last week I celebrated 3500 days ODAT without a cookie. Cookies were my first abstinence items. Of…

Thanks for all your transparency. It is very helpful and healing for us individually and as a support group. Each of us has to identify what works for our bodies. As in some clothing "One size, does not fit all." "if we can't laugh at ourselves, someone will beat us too it". One of my light bulbs that finally went off, was…

Yes Thanks for the encouragement. I find myself getting stronger in cycling. An added bonus, is my improved lung capacity has helped my harp(harmonica playing) On the down side, I still find walking up stairs not so easy. My lower back, likes the bike better than the stairs or stair machine at our gym. harris if we can't…

I've been a spinner for 23 months now. It was a love hate thing in the beginning. My brother has cycled for years, and after 25 Plus years of suggestions, I took the plunge.(or rather the seat.) After a few months I got the bike shorts and a year later got the shoes. From a I want to cry or throw up reaction, I look…
