NO. HELL NO

WOW!!! Girl, way to go!!! 54LBS - HUGE. Keep it up

It has always been a challenge to weigh-in in public place, like at the gym. At home - yes, you can get naked and have your weight recorded perfectly. I finally got around, took my shoes, my sweaty t-shirts and shorts, put them in a plastic bag and just weight them. Now, it is just easy to hop on a scale and take off 3 LBS…

Because you only have 2 pictures in your profile. And one of them is a bridge :)

My girlfriend!!

Pandora, babe. Ozzy, AC/DC, Metallica. I am 50, after all :) While on my LifeFitness elliptical. 60 minutes at max level of 25 plus 10 min cool down (also set to a max). Average calorie loss is 1100 per 70 minute.

BEFORE: AUG 2011 - 256 LBS AFTER: JAN, 2013 - 177 LBS

WOW, you look like different person. Fantastic results. Very proud of you!!!

I am down 78 LBS and still think I am fat. Although some say I don't need to lose anymore weight, I feel I do. I am back in my size 30 pants from the size of 38 and should be happy about this, but I don't

Exercising means achieving a maximum target heart rate. To some, male 50 years old MTR of 139 for 60 minutes might be too extreme. I personally think you are cheating yourself if you have to enter calories burned during shopping at the grocery store. My $0.02

Lose them both, it's poison

Your story makes grown man tear up. I am deeply sorry for your loss God's cruel joke to have parents lose a child. You are very strong woman. Most important, you have kept your family together and were determined to re-build your personal life and your weight loss is just a fraction of accomplishment you have made. Take…

Yes. But... 1. Lose weight slow. Eat right, good, clean food and let your body determine how fast you should lose it. 2. Skin is an amazing organ. It can stretch to an enormous size, so it can shrink. Give it time 3. Because skin is an organ, it needs to be (a) fed with good clean food (b) hydrated with plenty of liquids,…

I am looking at the weight loss ticker in this post. All of you people are just awesome and I am proud to be part of your community. My aunt, bless her heart. She is 5"2 and she is wider than she is taller. Every time she sees me, she tells me I look sick. OK, whatever. At least two-thirds of Americans are overweight or…

sushi and sashimi. I absolutely love sushi and sashimi

Twice per day - morning and evening. And you are correct. You want to learn how your diet affects your weight. If you are off the regular meal schedules and overeat at the restaurant for example, and your weight registered a number, you want to know about it. Your approach is just fine.

77 LBs - I can relate to that. You look fantastic!!!

AMEN!! Lately my dinners have been after midnight. Not by choice.. Just everything else in my life was shifted. And there is no impact to my weight loss.

I use elliptical 7 days per week. I walk 60 minutes on Precor 546 at maximum setting of incline of 20 and resistance of 25. I am 50 years old and my target heart rate should be 138. When I started my exercise routine 18 months ago, my heart rate was just over 161 BPM. Today I my heart rate is 130 for the entire 60 minute…

They say I talk like Borat. After a while you start to believe that. :)

I just love to add pickle, crushed boiled egg, table spoon of crushed onion and table spoon of mayo. great low-carb snack

I lost total of 77 pounds. I was in size 38 pants and now able to take off my size 30 bluejeans without unzipping and unbutton them. I am still losing weight, although at much slower rate. From 254LBs to 177LBs since August 16, 2011.

why don't you share your food diary to start with. At least people can see what you eat and this will be a good starting point.

So agree with you. I've seen just about everything in weight fluctuations in the past 18 months :)

THAT!!!

Find your target heart rate. Usually 80% of your MAX. Mine (male, 50) should be 138 b/min. I can burn 1000 calories is i stay on elliptical for 70 minutes at my HR at 145. I do it 7 days per week

Here are mine $0.02 First of all from the 3500 calories burned, not entire 1LB is fat. If you not careful and starve yourself, you can lose muscle tissue. It is safe to say that from 1 LB, the 80% will be fat and the other 20% muscle. Don't dwell on the daily numbers. You will have birthdays and office parties, so you will…

It is well worth for you to take time to learn and understand TDEE, total daily energy expenditure. It is a good point to start. There are several excellent topics on this site. It took me several days(if not weeks) to figure out what I have and where I am trying to go. I just searched on the topic. Here is the first one:…
