a $20 food scale was the best purchase I ever made. I couldn't live with close enough... getting used to using the food scale can take time, but once you do, it'll be second nature. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! My vote is for a food scale!

Invest in a food scale! Best thing ever...

I followed this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUfyZ7XZcIY 20lbs down so far... Good luck!

20 lbs down in 60 some odd days eating at a calorie deficit and weighing/logging everything. That's it.

This spoke to me! Would have to substitute your girls for my two toddler sons but everything else is exactly the same!! Definitely agree with this... P

There are definitely a few posts in this section showing a crazy amount of male weight loss!! Browse around and you will find them. Cant remember member names right now but they will be on the first couple of pages. If they don't inspire and motivate I don't know what will!! Good luck to your husband... im 18 lbs down and…

Amazing to hear! Its always nice when your jeans fit better but hearing something about your heart health is even more important! Congrats!

Just peeked at your diary... I would definitely get a food scale. You are making awesome and healthy progress but it might make things just that more accurate... congrats on the loss so far!! P

Awesome NSV!! Congrats on the current loss and the the future weight loss! Always nice to see people on the right track! :glasses: WTG!

just say no lol but seriously, there are a lot of good suggestions in the responses here. Cant say it much better. Good luck and keep the long term goal in mind :)

My wife has been incorporating a juice with her regular food. Seems to work. Hard to eat as many veg and fruit as what you can get in a juice. I dunno... jury is still out for me. I don't necessarily think you should do the full on juice diet but whats the harm in replacing one meal or snack with a juice? I dunno.. to each…

mmmm breakfast. This morning was half cup greek yogurt, various berries (strawberry/blueberry/raspberry/blackberry). Add ground flaxseed and eat. Yum so good.

ditto on trying water first... you know what they say "you might just be thirsty" I would try that first.

Yikes 40 lbs in two months doesn't sound like a healthy goal... congrats on the 66 lb loss so far! That will definitely make a difference at the beach :drinker: do it healthy though... the other responses pretty much sum up what I was going to say anyways... heed their advice. Good luck and if you find something that works…

Awesome job Jim! Way to go and thank you for the inspiration!

yum.

Amazing. Thank you for the inspiration! Great job

Wow what an incredible transformation! Congrats

Checking in from Guelph, Ontario Canada! Looking to continue the trend and melt another 6 lbs off. Weather is improving so hoping to get outside every day! Good luck everyone! SW: 204 CW: 184 GW: 178 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (4/01 Tue): 184 4/05 Sat: 4/12 Sat: 4/19 Sat: 4/26 Sat: End of Month (4/30 Wed): Total weight…

definitely check out the TDEE - 15 or 20% and play around with that. 1200 may be too low for you...

so besides the usual "are you logging EVERYTHING and WEIGHING everything accurately" question... has anything else changed? Just looked at your diary for today. So things like the Kashi. The serving size is in number of pieces 28 pieces = 55g. Do you actually weigh the pieces? Like weigh out the 55g? Only reason I ask is…

This is dead on. Take this advice and run! P

I can happily report from Guelph, Ontario that the sun is shining and snow is receding!

Definitely search Leslie Sansone - will come up with a bunch of threads on here - people have definitely had success. From what I have learned, looks like a lot of folks prefer lifting over Leslie but to each their own... check out the search function and im sure you will find a lot of answers... good luck! (and congrats…

I had read a good solution to the servings thing somewhere on the MFP forum. Something about weighing EVERYTHING afterwards in grams, like 1950g and then calling that 19.5 servings. Then when you take a portion, you would subtract the weight - 250g weight you would subtract 2.5 servings. Don't quote me on it but it was…

Holy crap what a difference in 10 lbs!!!! Way to go. Awesome job! P

Tried on every single thing in my wardrobe and found NOTHING that didn't fit (even the skinny clothes I had been keeping for "one day") Its amazing when you look at belts you had to make your own holes in and now you are on the 4th hole or something. What an amazing feeling and a huge motivation to keep going!! I would…

Agreed. Down 17 lbs so far on a 500 cal deficit and haven't really been exercising as much as I would like... but still losing while keeping deficit... and weighing/logging etc... P
