Homeostasis weight
I have a maybe strange thing I've been thinking about. When I was younger I never had problems with my weight, I was fit and thin and didn't think about it much, Didn't matter what I ate my weight stayed roughly the same. Now 10-15 years later my body acts the same way If I just eat without thinking about it I stay around…

How to talk about weight loss without being a jerk?
I'm not sure this is the best place for this, but sometimes when I talk about weight loss success or my goals, I feel I'm coming off arrogant or I feel that they feel put down because they haven't had success. How can I talk about my fitness goals/success while still being sensitive to others that are struggling with it?

28 lbs down and met my goal
Officially met both of my goals today. I started Jan 1 at 173.4 with a goal to be 145 which is where I was when I was in college but more importantly I wanted to be a certain shape which I measured by wanting to wear some pants that I hadn't worn in about 8 years. The pants are comfortable and so am I. I know for some 28…

Almost there
I started Jan 1 with a goal of 145, I'm currently 147, so I've lost 28 lbs and very happy about it. I'm wondering about maintenance and how slowly I should try to re-add calories, currently I'm eating 1500 calories a day, What I'm considering is adding back 100 calories per day per week, so my first maintenance week I'd be…

Goal before vacation
So I started changing my lifestyle on Jan 1 like so many others, and when I did I set a few goals and timeframes to go with them. My first goal which I didn't think I could achieve due to how soon it was coming up, was to reach 155 by my vacation. I am leaving tomorrow and weighed in this morning at 154.6, very excited…

How will you know your done losing weight?
Is it your weight? The way your body looks? How you feel? I think all of those 3 go into it for me, but the best physical goal I have and this will sound weird coming from a guy, but my goal is to fit into a pair of shorts I have from about 9 years ago when I was still fit. Once I fit in those comfortably I'll know its…

Halfway there
Today I weighed in at exactly 14 lbs down. Which is halfway to my goal Yay!!! It also happens to be the first time in the 150's for about 7 years and it also puts me in the Healthy BMI Range. Doing a happy dance now.

hunger
I have what could be a kind of odd question. I've been at this for about 5 weeks now. The first week sucked bad, I was so hungry it was unreal, now its not so bad eating the same amount of calories. Does that mean that my BMR has changed due to it getting used to my new routine amount of calories?
