Wow I only been eating like 1,000 calories a day...Since I started eating less I can't handle nothing over that really.

It just doesn't make sense to me...If 1,600 calories is a pound of body fat, and I walk 2 miles on a treadmill and lose 420 calories how am I suppose to lose weight lol...

Try your hardest to not skip any meals especially lunch. You may not realize it but when you skip meals you will get hungry and eat more later and if you eat a huge dinner or a late night snack that is too big or too filling it defeats the purpose if all that food sits in you when your heart rate is low and your body is far from active while you sleep. I always thought I needed to hustle and work out hard to loose weight and you don't have to. To me, I just combat my hunger in ways I know how like eating a healthy snack between meals. I usually have my snack between 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon because that's when I get hungry. If I don't have something small I am liable to eat bigger portions at meal time when my eyes are bigger than my stomach. Let me tell you I can make a healthy meal become a fattening one by the sheer serving on my plate if I'm hungry enough lol. I need to still retrain my thinking that food is good and I have to stop eating and be hungry to loose weight. If I can train myself to think of food as an energy tool that I can use to manipulate my hunger and my energy levels then I can control food and it not control me. I would replace cinnamon toast crunch with a more organic cereal. Like I said earlier combine your carbs with fiber has been sooo helpful for me! The weight falls off this way at least for me. If cinnamon toast crunch is your guilty pleasure than keep it in your diet so that you don't feel like you are without. I began this quest to loose weight last July and I busted my a$$ then to start loosing weight but to be honest I couldn't keep up that pace of not eating hardly anything and exerting so much energy. I had to do the things the way I do now which I listed in my last post. If you get caught up in working so hard you WILL get burned out. I know for a fact I would probably have gained it back had I not switched to a more easy going healthy diet/lifestyle with easy going exercise. The way I look at it I want to be able to maintain what I am doing now until I am an old man. I also recommend switching between cereal and oatmeal for breakfast. I know I hit a wall at 290 lbs for 2 and a half weeks I lost no weight and I caught myself weighing myself everyday. That is unhealthy and I had to tell myself to stop doing that because my body was just going through a phase. In that case I stop weighing myself for a while and then I switched from cereal in the morning to oatmeal for protein to jump start my metabolism.

Why thank you. That was very kind of you.

You have done really well , it's an easy thing  to think I should try that , (I think that way often )
but to get off you butt and do it  , takes some doing , and you have my respect for doing so ,


for me , well anyone know how many calories are burnt while pounding a keyboard  while eating a cheese sandwich  and drinking coffee with milk and sugar ?  yeah,  I am doomed I guess ,anyway
I guess it time for my daily work out , I am just going to open the back door, and let the dog out for a run ,

Romaine hearts from Sam's is a nice treat too with some low cal low fat french dressing. Yummy!

I live in Hopewell, PA it's about 20-25 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. Go Steelers! You lost some more weight way to go man! January of 06 I weighted my scale which goes up to 399 or 400 lbs and it didn't register so I had to be over 400 lbs at one point. but my official weigh in when I started was 384lbs.
