That's fantastic man. Sounds like we have been down similar paths. I started at 245, have lost about 50 pounds and still need to lose another 20 or so. Just didn't have the time for the gym so I start doing P90X. I love that and can get it done in 30 minutes in the morning. Keep up the awesome work!!

Don't be so hard on yourself. This weight loss thing is not easy. Why do you stop logging on the weekend? Whether you are good or bad, keep logging. You might find it more difficult to sabotage if you log it. Walking 3 miles a day takes a pretty long time depending on how fast you walk. Also I get really bored just…

I'm with you on the relationship with the fridge. I'm also really good friends with his buddy, the pantry (where the potato chips are). I am also in tech and spend most of my time sitting. I have lost over 50 pounds counting calories and exercising (just started P90X a few months ago). Feel free to add me.

Howdy. I am nearly 48 years old and have lost over 50 pounds. I tried nearly everything thing you can think of and it turns out the best is also the simplest, count calories and exercise. Feel free to send me a FR. I'm here every day and happy to help.

Wow!! Since I am almost 48 years old I hope you are wrong on that not many good years left. I have lost over 50 pounds in the last year, recently starting do P90X workouts and feel better than I have in 20 years. Feel free to send me a FR. I am happy to help any way I can.

Welcome to the world. I live on about the same in Austin with horses and cattle. Feel free to send me a FR. I am here every day and log everything. Happy to help!!

Welcome back. Yes you can do this.

Welcome. There are a lot of good folks here.

Howdy and welcome to MFP. It's definitely easier with a motivating group. Feel free to add me. My wife and I are here every day and log everything.

Feel free to add me. I have lost about 50 pounds, am here every day and log everything. It's a great site with a lots of awesome people to help you along the way.

That's funny. It reminds me of a Seinfeld where someone said "My doctor doesn't want me to get any heavier" and Jerry makes some comment about "My doctor doesn't want me to get any taller". Anyway, welcome. Feel free to send me a FR. I am here every day and happy to help anyway I can.

I'm here every day and log everything. Happy to help anyway I can. Sending a FR.

Gaining back sucks but since you have lost it once you know you can do it again. Get back after it. You got this.

Hi and Welcome. I'm here pretty much every day and happy to help. Feel free to add me.

The truth will set you free, or get you flagged. I forget which one it is.

Greek yogurt. With a bit of honey if I'm feeling decadent.

Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm 47, 5'10', used to weigh 245 and down to 195. Still got a ways to go and can always use friends to help.

I became interested in it a few years ago and did lot's of research. My sister has a medical degree and volunteered her A&P textbook from college. I can't say that I remember it all but I did manage to read the entire textbook. In some ways it was a bit frightening to realize how complex it all is and that it actually…

About once per month or so.

A lot of times when I buy sub sandwiches from places like JJ or subway I consolidate the meat onto half of the bread and only eat half the bread. It makes for a much more hearty sandwich and I cut some of the calories.

I have to agree with the comments above. You are not logging on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That's nearly 1/2 of the total days of the week. What's going on during those days? If you eat it, log it. Anytime I violate that rule, I overeat.

Tried one "diet" after another for many years. Been through WW, Atkins, Paleo, etc. etc. Unfortunately I always wondered why I could have this and not have that. Also there was always that thought in the back of my head about doing the diet until I lost weight. MFP, or more appropriate CICO, is the first time that I have…

Welcome back!! Happy to help any way I can.

Age: 47 Height 5' 10" SW: 245 CW: 197 GW: 175 Focusing much more on exercise, measurements and body composition at this point.

That is fantastic and an inspiration to us all. Way to go!!!

Howdy. Welcome to MFP. I'm here every day and log everything. Love to have new friends and will help any way I can.

I work out 6 days a week at around 6:30am. Afterward I usually have some type of smoothie with protein and greek yogurt.

Congrats on the wedding. It is absolutely possible as I have lost 30 pounds in the last 6 months. I included a number of links below that should be helpful. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants…
