Lose 56lbs with nothing but McDonalds!
http://www.today.com/health/man-loses-56-pounds-after-eating-only-mcdonalds-six-months-2D79329158 I admit what got me started was the professor who did the Twinkie diet. He lost weight while only eating Twinkies. I haven't done that but what I did start out was just eating less junk food but still eating it. My problem was…

"Homemade" Chicken Strip Salad calorie question.
I say "homemade" because the cafe I get these from has pretty much homemade items. I have to estimate the calories as they do not have any nutritional info. As I prefer to slightly over-estimate my calorie intake while slightly under-estimating my calories burned, how do these numbers look for my salad... Garden Salad with…

Pedometer GPS calorie count readings.
On Friday nights I BBQ for our local high school football team. Yeah, I know... but I do consider these five BBQ Friday's a "Cheat Day" :) ANYWAY, I track my movements for the day and I had 380 minutes of very slow activity. I am talking about .7 miles and 1326 steps. During this time I am standing the whole entire time…

What am I doing wrong? Starvation mode???
Greetings MFP! Up until about a week ago my "daily workout(s)" consist of about 3-4 miles of walking at work and another 3-5 miles walking my dog in the evening. It has been a workable plan that I'm more than happy with. Up until last week my daily calorie intake has been 1850 though I updated to 1800 starting this week.…

8 cups of water a day... more bathroom breaks!
I don't know if this is an issue or not, but after 4 cups of water I find myself having to go to the bathroom a lot more! Now for the most part it has not been a problem at work or at home. I go when I have to go but I find myself saying "again, really?" I figure this must be normal... but I want to make sure before I…

From over-eating to forcing myself to eat...
Well I used to over-eat and that is where a lot of my weight was put on... these days I am finding myself less hungry and I am not able to eat anything close to the amount I could before. The past couple of days has been odd, I have not been hungry and I didn't eat anything until late last night and all that was most of a…

Day 30 - Still counting!
Thanksgiving was good... we had *TWO* Thanksgiving dinners... a basic one on Thursday then a big one the next day when one of our family members returned to San Diego after duty on the USS Carl Vinson. I ate lots of great food and I know I went over my calorie count but that was OK. I had dropped 10 pounds before…

We are going to a buffett!!! Oh-No!
The bad news... my 5th anniversary is Friday and the better half and I are going to celebrate tonight. Which means the two of us are going out with two friends to the Chumash Seafood Buffet. The good news... I am not much of a seafood person. I pretty much only like Fish & Chips... Shrimp in various flavors like fried or…

Day two and counting!
I've been struggling with weight for about 7 years now. I went from almost 300lbs. to 235lbs. then Thanksgiving hit. That was back in 2002 or 2003. I've slowing gained weight, fluctuating back and forth and trying different methods and now I am back to 276 pounds (6' 1" frame.) I do walk my dog often, I wish more than that…
