How did you teach yourself to slow down your eating?
I'm almost 43 and I'm not getting any younger. I've been struggling to get to a healthy weight since I was a child and I'm not sure why I can't stay with it for longer than a few months. I've always known I ate too fast, but I guess I never tried to think of ways to slow down. My wife will say things like "did you even…

Back again...and again...and again...and again...100+ lbs to lose.
Unfortunately this is pretty much the same post I made last year verbatim. I've once again repeated the pattern of falling off the wagon and MFP. It's been a while but here I am once again and back up to the heaviest I've been in my life. I'm almost 43 and I'm not getting any younger. I've been struggling to get to a…

I'm back once again!
Once again I was MIA from MFP for a LONG time. I fell off the wagon once again and back up to the heavist I've been in probably about 8 years. I turned 40 on the 4th and had a mentally tough weekend where I just felt down on myself. I'm going to try and use that for motivation to get back in gear towards a healthy life and…

Trying out CrossFit.
After wanting to try it for years, I've finally signed up for a 3 week trial. I'm nervous and excited at the same time! So many times I've eaten good and worked out only to totally fall off the wagon after 4-5 months. I'm hoping the group atmosphere and the cost will keep me motivated. I turn 40 in 11 months and I'd love…

How long did you do Stronglifts 5x5?
How long did you do Stronglifts 5x5 before moving on to a more diverse lifting plan? I'm only 5 weeks in and plan on doing it quite a bit longer, but I'm just trying to plan for the future.

Any tips on upping my calories? I'm way too low for my size.
Now that I'm not eating like garbage, I'm having a heck of a time reaching my calorie goal of 1900-2000. The only days I've been close to my calorie goal is when I ate something off my diet. I'm not doing any diet in particular, but I am trying to eat mainly meat, veggies, sweet potatoes and fruit. I made my diet public if…

After 15 years, I'm no longer a 300 pounder!
This morning I weighed in at 299.2. I haven't been under 300lbs since I 17 years old. In recent years I had bounced between 340 and 350. Last May at 343 I started a couch to 5k program, ran three 5Ks, and started mountain biking. I got down to about 320 before the weather got cold and I fell off the wagon. Fast forward to…

Looking for friends to motivate me and help keep me on track. I'd like to loose about 85lbs.
I've been on MFP for 5+ years mostly for food logging, but I think the time has come to ask for some outside motivation and to make some friends on here. I don't have much support/motivation from friends and family unfortunately, so I figured this was worth a shot. I'm 37 and have been obese my whole life. I'm 6'2" and my…

Absurd amount of sodium in some frozen raw chicken breast I bought.
I asked my wife to pick up some chicken breasts at the store and she purchased some Sunchef frozen raw chicken breasts that were on sale. I made them today and they were quite good and pretty moist. Then I scanned the label for MFP...good Lord. :o The 8oz piece that I just ate had a whopping 1313mg of sodium! Remember…

C25K take 2...too much to run everyday at 300lbs?
I just finished week 3, day 1 of my second take at C25K. The first time was two years ago and all went well and finished it up running three 5K races. Last year I lost 60lbs in about a year, but gained about 40lbs over the winter, so I'm trying to get back on track. I have a wedding in 4 weeks, so I'm trying to double time…
