I fell back in love with my heart rate monitor and have been blitzing the fat off me these last two weeks. My September goal is to keep working at 85% -92% of my MHR...most of my 60min workout. I want to hit my weight loss goal of weighing 140lbs by my 55th birthday.

Try smoked turkey neck....very tasty and exceptionally lean too

haha... I hate gyms with those annoying notices 'politely' asking the likes of moi, to limit my time on the cardio machines to less than my usual 80mins. >:) :s

Interesting thread.

If that protein shake is Whey..it will make you hungrier due to the insulinemia it will elicit.

Ditto that for me....once I found a way of eating that stopped my insulinemia, the urge to binge vanished.

Have a liter of Ice cold water, go home, jump in the shower....eat a light mostly protein snack....then get on with my day.

Hi Brits Good to see you guys. I'm a Brummie I'm also a veteran of the weight wars. This is my 2nd time around. Lost 93lbs 2yrs ago, went back to my old ways and gained some back. Started back 1st of August, doing well thus far. Hopefully I will have dropped the regain and get to goal by Xmas. We can do this...

When I stumbled upon the fact that carbs whether complex or not make me hungry, and being a person who is well grounded in the science of food and its metabolic dynamics in the body...I relied on Dr Bernstein's book to understand how to get round the whole 'carb-is-my-problem' thing. Years of low fat dieting has meant that…

I couldn't find the google spread sheet. I need to search again.

I cook and puree 200grams of frozen spinach, with 200ml soya milk, 3drops of Madagascan vanilla extract and Splenda. (This hot cereal substitute is delish and hits the spot).

I bet a lot of people walk past you. Even folks who know you very well, not realising its you. You have totally transformed your body. Your bliss is so radiant. You look vibrant, energetic and a picture of health. Well done.

Freedom to choose whatever they want to wear means people choose not to wear a bikini and instead opt for a one piece. I did not know there was a bukini until the furore in the news recently The only way I would have the confidence to bare my body in public will be in a bukini...especially one that will cover my inner…

Can you cook? Can you 'google'? (By google, I mean the ability to search for information online) Problem solved. I am not being flippant If you know how to cook, and know how to search for information online its easy to find recipes that you can make or some that you can tweak to give you the kind of sustainable eating…

That you will suddenly be seen as an authority on how to adopt a healthy lifestyle by friends and relatives...who saw you obese for years and know your struggle with weight is real. That smaller sizes like British size 12 or lower (American size 8 and lower)has fewer takers, and are therefore in abundance at the clearance…

Sure a bit of background. I live in the UK, so some of my terms may be different from what folks from other countries may be used to. I buy chicken carcass/bones that's left after the butchers have taken off the breast meat for the breast fillets....there's a lot of (white meat) still left on the bones. I use this to make…

One of the benefits of a true lifestyle change, that this whole process becomes, is that, it is a skills acquisition process because of what we learn along the way. As time goes on, you know what food choices to make, and what preparation methods will ensure you stay within your calorie range. When you go out, you choose…

I am so happy with my creativity in the kitchen these days. I think up recipes, and they end up tasting as good as I imagined... I made/created an awesomely yummy broccoli and chicken soup today. Its uber nutritious and awesomely filling....I had to keep checking and calculating the nutrient values over and over, to make…

Thank you Glassglitter for the dates 08/14/16- 174 08/21/16- 08/28/16- 09/04/16- 09/11/16- 09/18/16- 09/25/16- 10/02/16- 10/09/16- 10/16/16- 10/23/16- 10/30/16- 11/06/16- 11/13/16- 11/20/16- 11/27/16- 12/04/16- 12/11/16- 12/18/16- 12/25/16-

Just open the link and type in your stats on the next available line..easypeesy

Yes you can. 2weeks ago, I had such a negative mindset, I believed I would not be able to lose the weight...what kept me going was my resolve to 'Never give up... no matter what I feel.' Today I believe I can...these feelings come, and go....keep plugging away at your resolve no matter what 'Just do it' to quote Nike.

This is precisely what I need right now. Count me in. HW: 227, July 2013. Lowest weight 18mths ago 134 CW 178 GW by 12/31 130

I love the preachers on this thread , they sure add to the humour. ... lol They preach with a straight face, I look at their ticker, I see food is their drug of choice, and fall off my chair laughing, at the irony.

Absolutely weigh your food raw. when you cook the food, how much water it would have absorbed thereby affecting the weight is unknown. And this -http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list is the only accurate database to use too.

I totally get you.

Listen to your body. If for some reason breakfast is not working for you...skip it. There is no hard and fast rule to this thing despite what a lot of people spout. It does not work for me, and when I decided to go with how my body feels, I find my appetite more controlled. Why go with the so called "perfect way to start…

[ You are talking total nonsense. I am a size 4 and I feel my hipbones, which to me is the hallmark of being slim. what an ignorant comment. looking skeletal is not being skinny and 0 or 00 on most humans is looking skeletal quote me.

I went from a US size 22 to a size 4 in one year, everybody tells me how skinny I look. There are a few floor to ceiling mirrors in my home, Yet when I look in the mirror, what goes through my mind is Hmmm this mirror must be one of those slenderizing ones. Though I see a smaller sized person, somehow its not me. I wear…

Absolute Yay. I eat so much sweeteners I must have more going through me than a sweetener factory...and I do not care. Life is too short to suffer through pleasure-less eating.

I cannot begin to tell you how happy its made me. for starters, I now wear my beautiful stylish clothes...yeah vanity haha I wake up feeling happy, joyful, optimistic all because I am no longer fat. It haunted me, it made me sad, I did not like the way it made me think of myself..I am absolutely ecstatic its gone. Yes I am…
