Need Help! Not sure which plan to follow..
So I am in a bind, a life threatening one. Weighing in at 407 LBS this morning, getting bloodwork back from my lab work with a glucose level of 129, and trying to count calories today but am always hungry I am really ready to go back to Atkins/Low Carb like I did in 2005 when I lost 80lbs in 8 months. My only concern is if…

Any one have sustainable long-term results?
Having done Atkins back in 2005, I lose 80 lbs on it in 8 months which was great. Once I ran into life stresses, obstacles, laziness, boredom, I tended to have carb creep and have gained it all back plus some.

What is good weekly weight loss goal?
I am looking to lose about 140 lbs to hit my goal. I don't know if I should set a weekly goal of 2lbs, 1.5lbs, or 1lb. I plan on working out 3-4 times a week, lifting weights and some cardio. I am at a desk all day for my job, so I picked sedentary when setting up my profile. Any suggestions on what worked for you? Thanks.

Weight Watchers Online

I need ideas for work lunches...
Please note- I don't eat Tuna, Mayo, Pork, and I refuse to use disgusting work microwaves to warm up anything. With that being said, what ideas can you suggest that I can bring to work that will be filling and not cost a ton of $$$? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Deli Meat sandwiches? Any other suggestions or tips…

Lifting weights vs cardio for losing weight
I am beginning to track calories, and want to know if lifting weights will help me burn fat better than doing cardio? Or is it more beneficial to do BOTH? Maybe start with some weights and then finish with cardio? Also, is lifting heavier any better than going lighter or vice versa when coming to losing weight and fat?…
