Better not breathe the air or take a bath or shower either. The chemicals (not to mention pharmaceuticals) leech into the ground water and evaporate into the air. The water is drunk by the animals that we eat and they are ingesting it as well. We are doomed. It's the end of the world as we know it.

Yeah, like Jared made his millions with Subway

^^Ditto this. I don't need the advice or aggravation (both of which I got plenty of which was unsolicited) from people, when my diary was open. I managed to lose over 1/2 my current body weight and have kept it off for over two years. I guess I am doing ok. I have been on MFP for over 4 years and never once felt the need…

The loss will slow down, and it is not unusual for people to see a loss like this the first week. Especially for people with a lot to lose. Weighing, measuring and logging everything you eat and drink and staying in your calorie budget is highly recommended so that you know what your CICO truly is. Very important because…

If I drink a glass of water before a meal, it helps me feel full faster, but for me, I can not replace water for a snack. My whole thing is about chewing. I rarely drink anything with calories. May work for some though.

I am definitely in the majority. Shaming would never have been a motivating factor for me to lose. I had to be ready and to do it for myself and shaming by anyone would have had a negative, not positive effect. Thankfully, my loved ones and friends have always accepted me as I am. I am grateful to them all for their…

Well they are kind of right. It may be misleading, but sizes of things do differ. ie: sweet potatoes But, if you are weighing your food, game over, because that is efficient and precise. It does come down to calories in, calories out. This method is trying to sell you something that you can do yourself. When it comes to…

I always find this an interesting comment. If, by conservative estimates, the human body is over 50% water, doesn't it stand to reason that at least 50% of the weight you lose is water? I agree that 100 pounds in 100 days is unlikely, but anything is possible, especially for someone who has a lot to lose. Hopefully with a…

^No. The only time you do not burn calories is when you are dead. OP. Really doesn't matter when you eat, just stay within your calorie limit.

Plan it for the week. Prep on Sunday, and package in individual portions for the week. My husband works 2pm to 10pm, and every other weekend. He has 4 day weekends the weekend he is off. I work days, long hours and some Saturdays and Sundays. So this works very well for us.

Great start! Keep it going! Weight loss is a great motivator. I lost 100 pounds in the first 7 months, but it took 13 more months to lose the last 60 pounds, and I have been on maintenance for 29 months now. You go guy!

Eating less calories than I burned and logging every single thing I ate and drank. BTW, I have been on maintenance for 29 months, it still holds true except I am now eating the same number of calories burned and I still have to log everything. I will not be in the 80% that gains back the weight lost within 5…

Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off and before you know it you will reach your goal! Well Done!

Maybe you could talk to a plastic surgeon. They can do liposuction on problem areas. I think MorganMore is giving you good advice. Wait a year. It does shrink some, even on us old dinosaurs that are pleased as punch with our new selves.

Awesome! I am 64. Lost over 160# and have been maintaining for over 2 years @ around 130#. I DON'T CARE EITHER. No where near perfect, but totally pleased with being less than 1/2 the person I used to be. I will take the imperfections over morbidly obese any day! :)

I have had my charge hr for a year too. Love it! But would have waited if I knew the Blaze was coming. Fitbit owner for over 3 years. One, Force, and now the Charge HR. (Hope to get the Blaze for Sept birthday)

Contact fitbit about your band falling off. Their customer service is the best, no kidding!

^LOL, I hear you on this, but it is starting to get light earlier, so I may not get the vibration till after sunrise on the weekends. The weekdays are safe though as I get up very early and go to the gym before work. I envy you your Blaze. I want one, but can't justify the price. Three fitbits in three years, first the…

^ This, is your answer! You burn calories being alive. A sauna feels great after exercising, but no added calorie burning for sitting there sweating, other than what you would burn sweating outside in the hot sun. May increase your calorie burn over just sitting, but I wouldn't count it as exercise.

You gain weight eating more calories than you burn, doesn't matter the source of the calories. You can overeat anything. The USDA recommends 2 cups of fruit per day. When in doubt, follow the guidelines.

You look fantastic! Well done!

Definitely worth the money for me. I have had a fitbit for over 3 years now. For me it is a huge motivator to get me to walk more. I walk a lot and use the elliptical and for activities like this it is great. It is a fancy pedometer, I am not sure how good it is for other activities. I love the HR feature and the staircase…

It is to keep as many consumers of their products as possible. Maybe trying to convince more of the people that are more nutrition conscious. The serving sizes are already posted on the packages, people can read, but many choose not to, I didn't read nutrition labels prior to MFP. Bottom line for them is money. Smaller…

I had a 2 year streak going and was unable to log in. It started over from the beginning. I had oral surgery all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. Went to work the next day.

Toasted bagel thin sandwich made with a poached egg and turkey sausage patty. Black coffee and my first 20oz bottle of water.

Mine was about 78 before I lost weight and began exercising. For the past year it is between 48 and 52

Because she is doing it, that's why. Against all odds and in spite comments like yours that are uncalled for at best, and arrogant at worst.

So? I still don't get your point. And there are 50 and 80 year olds that can beat you too. The point is that she is doing it, and finishing, and that is awesome for everyone that does.

I guess I am pretty dense (along with the chip on my shoulder) so clue me in, because I don't see the point.

Again, what is your point. There are 50 and 80 year olds that can beat you too.
