Lose the weight slowly and in a healthful manner - I'm talking like a year or more to lose the 60 lbs, and you shouldn't have a problem. Give your skin time to keep up with your body. Most of the loose skin issues that I've seen have been from people who have lost over 100 lbs in a very short span of time - i.e. with…

This website has a ton of activities. If you click on "Activity Calculator" then search for "clerk" you can put in your weight and get an idea of what you burn at work. http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php

What's your age, gender, height, weight, and activity level? Are you eating your calories from exercise? Read about TDEE and see what yours is.

I get a 6" on 9 grain with double turkey, cheese, all veggies, light mayo, and vinaigrette (we call it sub sauce here for some reason). It's 510 calories but the macros are pretty good for me: 52gC, 19gF, and 37gP plus 6 grams of fiber. I feel satisfied for hours and it's one of my favourite take out lunches.

No change for me. I've had some.... digestive issues. Anyway I had a really good day yesterday and hope I can report a loss next week! I've only lost 7 lbs since July and I'm hopeful that I can get at it hard like I did when I started in March.

This is huge. There are so many conditions that need to be fulfilled before I'll weigh myself. I will not weigh myself during period or PMS weeks. So that cuts it in half right there. So in the two weeks that are left, I will weigh myself only in the morning, and ONLY if I've had a good poop that morning. TMI I'm sure, but…

Blam - do you have a friend or close family member that you can go to their home and do your workout? Either that, or maybe skip the one you signed up for and just go for a walk/jog outside instead. The weather here is perfect for it right now, and I'll bet you'll be eager to get out of the house! I don't like exercising…

What a heartwarming story to read on a cold Tuesday morning! I know I'm new here, but I'm so happy to hear that this group has kept you in the game. How lucky we are to be supporting each other here, and have external supports as well. I hope that your career change makes a difference in your life. I hope I can leave my…

I make "chicken burrito soup" in the crockpot, it's best served with sour cream, cheese, and tortillas, BUT i've been eating it without all the high-calorie toppings and it's still very tasty: 1 lb meat - I'm on a budget, so I usually use skinless chicken thighs 1 medium onion, diced 1 large can diced tomatoes 1 can corn,…

Thanks for posting! I had an OK week. I'm still not doing the exercise I should be doing. I'm down 1.7: SW: 217 LW: 193 TW: 191.3 I always take my measurements when I'm feeling down about my progress. Especially when compared to my starting measurements, it makes me feel better. Congrats on being more than halfway to your…

I hope you can find something to motivate you!! You deserve to feel good - body, mind and soul! Don't be too hard on yourself, I think I only lost 4 pounds in July and August combined. You just need to get back to the mindset you had when you started.. what motivated you then? The fact that you're still here is a testament…

WOW that is fantastic!! great job!!

I would LOVE to join!!

This version of chocolate mousse might help with the chocolate cravings, and the pudding is pretty good all on its own: 1 cup sugar free Cool Whip 1 package of Jell-O sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding mix 1 1/2 cups skim milk, cold 1. In a mixing bowl, first pour cold skim milk and add dry chocolate pudding mix — whip…

Thanks for the support everyone

That's funny I was using fitnessblender! I really loved the site when I was using it. I'm limited to level 2 workouts, I can do a couple level 3, but they were super hard and I could never finish them. I did the level 2 ones so many times I got bored with them.

My SO works on his feet all day. I work in an office. I don't expect him to come along with me for fitness type things. He also likes to sit down and watch tv or play xbox after work, but he works long hours, and makes way more money than I do. After working 7am until 6pm, he deserves to veg out for the 3 or 4 hours he has…

So obviously just plain fruits, cut fresh veg, steamed veg, and salads are the easiest way to do this. To get more creative, there are ways to make your favourite side dishes more healthful, i.e. skim milk or light cream cheese in place of cream, sour cream adds a nice creaminess to things without being too high calorie…

I've got some bad news...... tonic has the same calories as coke. Club soda is your friend.

I like a drink from time to time... well probably more often than most people. Vodka or gin with soda and a squeeze of citrus is my go to. ~70 cals per drink. Rye and diet is another. Sugar free cherry vodka and diet coke, or peach vodka and fresca. Once in a while I'll have a glass of wine, but I try not to have more than…

Hot dogs and cheese whiz. Probably best I avoid large quantities of those anyhow....

Maybe you're weighing yourself too much. This is probably TMI, but only weigh myself naked, on an empty stomach, in the morning, after a good poop. About once every two weeks the stars align and I am able to weigh myself. I definitely wouldn't weigh myself immediately after eating something. Your sub and beverage likely…

My SO has a physically demanding job, eats between 3,000 and 5,000 calories a day (including liters of pepsi and quart sized milkshakes) and still weighs in at 6'5" and 190lbs. Am I jealous? Heck ya! But, I remind myself that I wouldn't want to be 6'5 and digging window wells all day. He skips lunch sometimes too,…

Avoid sugary pop (including tonic, which was a surprise to me) and juice. Liquor has fewer calories than wine, which has fewer calories than beer, for a standard sized drink. I've been drinking cherry vodka with diet coke after work these days, and can't go back to a 155 calorie beer when I can have a 70 calorie vodka…

The first time I tried it I could not believe the size of the portion on my plate. I think it was 2 cups for 68 calories. It packs into DENSE cups. My dinner plate was FULL, and it was delicious with tomato sauce/ground beef. I just cook it in the microwave, it's much easier. Cut it in half, scrape the seeds, add 1/2 cup…
