For those that take or have taken HCTZ for blood pressure
Since starting MFP, (actually, since about two weeks prior to even knowing what MFP was ) , I have lost 44 pounds. The majority of that was done strictly with diet alone, and only in the past 2 weeks have I started doing any exercise to boot. When I started trying to lose weight, I was 265 pounds, and it was pretty common…

Burned out on Subway
Today is my 81'st day using MFP, and I LOVE it! Just wondering where some of you guys and gals go when you have to eat fast food from time to time. I should buy stock in Subway with as much money as I've spent there in the past 81 days ( not that bad really, but it IS the only drive thru I've used since MFP ) . Anywhere…

I want to do them both for…

Being a short guy ( 5'6 ) I had a very hard time finding something that would fit my waist but also fit my length. I wound up having to go online and buy some 44 x 29's. ( At first, I bought…

Will I eventually " catch my calories " so to speak?
Hey guys, I've been wondering about what to do when I hit my goal and start a maintenance calorie amount instead of a losing calorie amount. Right now , I average 1400 calories a day , 43 year old male, walk 1.5 - 2.5 miles every day. If it rains me out of walking, I'll do the Your Shape xbox 360 stuff for half an hour.…

Opinions on my Diary
Hey guys, long time reader first time poster ;-) Really, just looking for someone that knows nutrition to browse at my food log and see if they have any advice on tweaking it. I've been reading a lot of forum posts and trying to educate myself the best I can. I'm a 43 year old male, I started out at 265 pounds and then had…
