Awesome, just awesome.

I've only used Twinlab 100% Whey. The local Rite Aid frequently has a bogo sale on the ten serving pouches at 16.99. I really like the double chocolate, it tastes how I imagine chocolate coconut milk would. The vanilla rush tastes ok alone but is great for smoothies or an addition to baked goods. Hoping they have the…

Don't have recommendation on BT buds but i started using a paperclip on the collar of my shirt to keep a little slack in the cord above the neckline and run the remainder under my shirt to the phone in my pocket. Now that I use an armband I run it above the shirt through the clip twice leaving a u shaped loop under my…

WooHoo. Looking good. Rock on.

Staring at 250 I initially chose 50lbs as a loss goal just because of it being a nice round number but amended that to 199 after reading of 'Onederland' on these forums. After much reading and some progress I now know upon reaching 199 I will reset my goal to 150 to get into the generally accepted 'fit zone'. I will then…

I find it amazing how much younger people, women in particular, look after losing a substantial amount of weight. You look great. ENJOY

This sounds like some bizarro parody of Weird Al's 'Eat It' parody of Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' song. I agree, if you only log the positive you are missing half the equation.

I've taken to doing twelve bodyweight squats each time I use the bathroom at home. Two weeks ago I could barely keep my balance with arms extended now I do deep squats with arms folded against my chest. Small steps in a greater journey toward fitness.

It kind of drives home the point of how even small efforts can amount to a large difference over time. A few calories or minutes of exercise from one day to the next will affect a large fluctuation in the estimated weight.

Congrats on reaching your goal and may maintenance be just as rewarding for you. I love these more extreme success posts. They are very reaffirming in that I think if this guy can get to a healthy weight from over 500lb what kind of wimp would I be to not make it coming from 250. ENJOY

My Ah-Ha moment came when visiting a doctor for the first time in over a decade to establish a primary care physician and get a referral to operate on a curled finger(dupuytrens disease). My plan was to take care of my finger and start an exercise routine to prepare myself for a return the daily work regiment. During the…

Welcome to the site. It has been a great resource for me. It's doubtful I would have made the progress I have without it. ENJOY

Just this morning I filled out tomorrows food diary with what used to be typical meals. Came up 4600 calories and nearly as much sodium. :o I wonder why I was lethargic and had sky high blood pressure. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I would take the calorie hit with the OJ for the low sodium and high potassium. I am hypertensive so sodium potassium ratio is more important to me than most others.

Made this recipe and found it tasty but a little too high in the calorie department for my current limits. Will make again but omit the vanilla since the Twinlab Vanilla Rush protein powder I use is quite heavy on vanilla flavor, and refrigerate half to enjoy the next morning. Thanks for the recipe. ENJOY!

Great work. Congrats.

This point was brought home to me this morning when what I would have logged as a 60 calorie cup of grapes weighed out to be a 116 calorie 173 gram serving of grapes. Weigh for accuracy folks. B)

I started at 250, set my initial goal at 199 with full knowledge that my next goal will be 150. I already have people warning against losing "too much weight" when they learn of the 50lb loss goal. ;) My long term plan is to reach 150 which puts me squarely into the fit zone by most charts. At that point I plan to assess…

I would think activities like badminton would be a shining example of when an HRM would give more accurate results than GPS based estimates of calories burned. In a walk, run or cycle type activity Endomondo can estimate energy expenditure based on time expired and distance traveled as recorded by the GPS chip. Absent the…

25 to go. Busted into twotervile sometime in the mid nineties so it will be a good feeling.

Sounds good. I'll be trying this. Thanks

I started this quest for fitness with a 1500 calorie low sodium diet coupled with six day a week walks. Walked 3.7 miles the first two days and developed plantar fasciitis(stone bruise). I painfully limped for three days. Stretched and rolled a ball under my feet for two more then went back to it the next Monday. I am…

I have eaten so many eggs, I am ashamed to look a chicken in the butt.:laugh:

My motivation to start remains my motivation to succeed. That is to not have to take two blood pressure pills each day for the remainder of my life. I go flush with disgust every time the phone alarm goes off reminding me to "take a pill". I have high hopes a healthy diet and enough weight loss to get squarely into the…

Excellent work. Added to the FIT favorites folder. Thanks

I'm on this challenge like me on a box of Queen Anne Cordial Cherries six weeks ago.:bigsmile:
