Everything in moderation. So have your subway and Big Mac - as long as it's once in a while.

I agree 100%. No way I am giving up anything completely, if I want it, I am going to have it. I am having stuffed pizza tonight from papa murphys :)

My reasons are for health and vanity reasons.

I have been down this road more than once, and have done real well, just did not stick with it.

sooooo.

1. I want to look as good, or actually better than I did calorie counting in the past.

2. When I go on my vacation/cruise I want to feel better about hanging around the beach/pool

3. I want to reduce/stop snoring at night, and it always gets worse with my weight

4. I want to fit in clothes that I have been saved for "when" I get a certain weight

5. I want to be more attractive, who does not want to be attractive, right?

6. I don't have it, but family members have diabetes and I don't ever want it.

7. I want to do my first pull up ever, and it would be easier if I did not have the extra weight to pull

heck, the list could go on for ever!

I think I have been since around 3rd or 4th grade as I remember wearing "husky" jeans :( .

Yes it is harder when you have been overweight so long, as it is a habbit, or even in some ways an addiction, BUT not impossible.

I did great a few years ago, but once again slipped back into old habbits. Support really helps, and having mini-goals helps as the "ultimate" goal is usually far off, and it is nice to reach some goals to help keep you motivated.

Good luck!

I had wondered the same thing, and tonight I cooked up a three pound bag of frozen chicken breast and it came out to one pound twelve ounces. I lose one pound and four ounces just cooking it in a pan

Or enter the correct info for one taco into a new meal builder and if you have two, do two servings, three, three servings ect.

I should have done it that way with a few of mine, but instead do as suggested and put .5 for a serving.

I built a cheese ravioli meal that totals 1080 calories, and it shows it as such, but when I add it to my food log, it repeatedly changes to 460 calories no matter if I change serving size, gram size, oz size. Why is this happening?

When I add it, it says the correct calories, but once I change screens or add a different food, that is when it changes it.

Oh, and the same thing is also happening to my 2 tuna sandwich's. I like the idea of this meal builder so I do not need to keep adding each individual item, but if it does this, it kind of defeats the purpose to me. Hope the bugs get worked out, as it is a great idea

HECK NO! I live for the stuff. Turkey, mashed taters, stuffing, white buns, cranberry sauce are way better than what most restaurants serve!

Give me my meat and potatos any day, and I am a happy man

Hopefully they would give me a couple of hours to fit it in.....

Start with meatloaff, mashed potatoes, cornbread, 1919 rootbeer

then bbq babyback ribs, texas toast, IBC rootbeer

THEN, a nice pair of jucy cheeseburgers, one mushroom/swiss, the other bacon sharp chedar, slice of pecan pie, A&W rootbeer float........

I think when the time came to fry me, it would all be barfed up, but that would not be my problem to clean up then, would it

I swim daily, and my mind wonders a lot! If I need to keep track of laps (no lap counter) it goes from laps, to cars, to women, to breathing, to what else I need to do today, do I want to play basketball afterwards, to what is that on the bottom of the pool, to, to, to.......

Sorry, it really varies a lot. I need one of the swimming lap counters though, as I tend to have to swim extra laps because I can't be 100% sure if my count is accurate, and don't want to short myself (100 mile goal).

I wish there were an area on here just for men. Most of the topics seem to be more relative to the majority (women), and do not apply to men like me seeking out help/advice/inspiration.

How many women on here have complained about loosing there boobies with there weight? I am in the other boat and would celebrate the disappearance of my moobs

Oh, yeah, another male checking in....
