I feel like food rules my life. Years of trying and I have little to show for it. Really need help.
32 Male, currently at 332lbs. In 2014 I went from 360lbs down to 296lbs with just changing my eating habits and tracking my calories through myfitnesspal. For the last 2-3 years I've more or less hovered around 320-330lbs. I've gone through many many many attempts at getting back on track and it'll last anywhere from a…

Best for burning calories: Slow walk or Fast walk
So I usually go to a walk during my lunch time at work and the route I've been doing is 1.25 miles long. I've done some days where I walk at a 3mph pace and other days where it's more of a 2-2.5mph pace. I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck here calories burnt wise. I'm 336lbs if that matters.

Negative side effects to losing mass amounts of weight?
I am just curious if there are any negative side effects that the body goes through while losing weight. I'd imagine that a ton of changes are happening as my muscles and bones go from carrying 360lbs to my goal of 200lbs. It's not something I've ever seen asked, so I'm just curious. Only thing I can think of is loose skin…

What is happening when you lose chunks at a time?
So I've noticed that during my loss of 14lbs that it comes in chunks at a time. For a few days I'll be stuck at one weight, maybe lose a few onces, then one day I'll suddenly be down 2-3lbs. I'm just curious as to why my weight would be coming off like this and if there is a way to get it to change from chunks to nice…

A video that helped turned on the light bulb for me
I see on here a lot of people that have issues with their relationship with food and how they need to change it. One of the biggest thing's that helped me was gaining awareness on everything and just becoming smarter on obesity and the types of foods and why we eat. One of the best thing's I've found that really clicked on…

Swimming really that good?
So I went to the pool today and did some leisure swimming and at the minimum I was treading water the whole time for the 80 minutes I was there. I'm 352lbs. I put it into MFP exercise thing and it said I burned over 1,200 calories. As a guy my size is this a real amount I could have possibly burned?

Being a food addict. Anyone else go through this?
Posted this in the intro forum by accident. I've had multiple attempts at losing weight since I've ballooned up but they seemed to failed. I would be successful for a few weeks up to a few months but would always fall back into old habits. After spending all day doing some research about food addiction I've come to the…
