I get knocked down, but I get up again!
I started my new life style change Feb 16th, 2016 weighing 418lbs. I hit the gym daily and by Sept I was down 90lbs! I had gone from size 52 jeans and 5x shirts to 3x shirts and 44 jeans. I was doing 3.5 miles a night on the treadmill on a 15 incline every night. I had plans to do my first 5k. I then fell and tore my…

Weight loss help.
I started going to the gym in Feb. I was on the treadmill daily. By April I could go 3 mph @ a 15 incline for 3 miles. I slipped and fell mid April and my leg hasn't been the same since. I've had x-rays of my knee and nothing was found. I can now go a max of 1.8mph @ a 3 incline for 3/4 of a mile before my knee makes me…

Weighing out foods...
I've used a scale for a majority of all the foods I eat unless I had the option to use measuring cups. I've recently started weighing all of my foods. I've noticed that on certain foods it's not equal. For example the cottage cheese I eat says 1/2 cup(114g). When I use the 1/2 cup and fill to the top, use a knife across…

I did a push up!
Actually I did 11 push ups! I started Feb 18th @ 418lbs. This morning I weighed in @ 334. I haven't even tried doing a push up for at least 10 years because I knew it was impossible for me. I figured I'd give it a shot this morning. I'm amazed! I'll have to add this into my regular routine!

Is phentermine to blame?

I've been able to change my eating habits and teach myself the correct portion amounts. The last dose that I took was the 15th. The issue that I'm now having is I haven't lost any…

How to get my wife on board?
My wife and I have been married for 3 years. We're both 26. When we were married I weighed 375lbs and she was at 300. I've been dieting off and on for our entire relationship. I finally hit my breaking point when the dr told me I was at 418lbs in Feb. I had no idea... My scale would no longer weigh me... I've seen people…

How to eat?
So I'm trying to figure out if eating my food differently would effect my weight loss at all. I currently eat around 2k calories a day(recently increased from 1600). I usually eat a yogurt when I first wake up. I then eat a some fruit an hour and a half later. An hour or so later I eat some type of protien(usually chicken…

Do you eat back your calories?
My Dr put me on a 1800 calorie diet last month. I've done really well with it and have lost 20lbs over the last month. Today we had our monthly meeting and I asked him about eating back my calories. I'm currently burning around 1400 calories a day with excerise and eating around 1800. He said I shouldn't eat any back... I…
