I might have to get in on this. I'm pushing 255 right now.

Fatty.
I just hit 247 from the 261 when the thread started. Two glasses of scotch with a little ice at the last two games is the only liquor and haven't had bread, rice or potatos. Mostly salad, chicken, eggs. Have had a little pesto pasta but I've just picked up my exercise times and cut way back. Haven't given up my popcorn though. I'm eating so much chicken I'll be pecking pea gravel shortly. I don't drink carbonated beverages but all I've had is water, the above mentioned scotch and some skim milk (which as most know is an acquired taste)
Feeling good and keeping busy. Ate lunch at Zea on the Westbank Monday and had rotisserie chicken and sugar snap peas. Ate less than half and was full.
Think I'll go walk nine holes this evening.

I have noticed that a lot of the exercise charts give what seem to be inflated caloric benefit for some activities. For instance some charts give the same benefit for stationary bikes as actual walking or running, that just doesn't make sense. Walking, even on a treadmill, means you are supporting your weight and moving a mass, when I walk briskly for 30 minutes, I am sweated out and ready to rest. 30 minutes on a stationary bike, even at a medium resistance level, hardly seems like work.
Anyway, 75 days in, 30 pounds gone.

SIMPLE RULES for this
1. The *EASIEST* way to lose weight is to limit what you're putting in your mouth. If it takes 3 miles to run off a 12oz coke, would you really rather run for 3 miles so you can gulp down a coke?
2. 80/20. 80% of your weight loss will come from diet. The other 20% (or possibly less) will come from hard exercise. Quit sabotaging our workouts by overeating/eating bad stuff because you *think* you should reward yourself for that 5 mile jog by having a big dinner.
3. Corollary to #2, combine sensible eating with increased activity. DON'T EAT MORE BECAUSE YOU HAD A GOOD WORKOUT.

This is why I bought a heart rate monitor.

I agree, I also ignore the "extra" calories I get for exercise, I stick to 1200-1500 a day. My average for the last 30 days is 1324.

What kind did you buy and where did you get it? I'm thinking I'd like to buy one ... do they make them with pedometers?
I've not really got a weight problem ... turned 41 and it's just all shifting ... and the jeans don't fit and I don't want to buy a double digit size. I'm all about watching what I eat and exercising ... here's to hoping it helps.
AND even if it doesn't help by way of fitting into my jeans, at least I'll be a healthier wife/mother!

i figured it was the opposite. when i've exercised, it seems to stick with me for a day or two, the higher metabolism.

i'd buy a good one if you really plan on getting some use out of it. one with a chest strap and a watch....
i think ironman makes a good one.

I bought a Polar FT4 from Academy. I would recommend shopping on line though. I decided last minute before an active vacation that I needed one and ran to Academy to purchase.
It has a comfortable chest strap (which you need for the best reading) and you can change the battery in it when need be. Some Polar models you have to send in the chest strap to get the battery changed.
You're doing the right thing in preventive maintenance. I waited until I was 25 lbs heavier than I needed to be to take action. Hypothyroidism sucks when untreated!

found this for an example of what not to eat

If I don't start losing again soon, I am going to bury my face in a couple of those burgers.

if anyone is craving a pancake, here's a recipe for a lighter version.
1 pack sugar free oatmeal (i buy the maple and brown sugar ones)
1 egg white
1 egg
some honey
some vanilla
maybe some cinamonn if you like it
mix it up and pour onto skillet, cook like a pancake.
eta, when i make it for the kids i'll dust it with a little powdered sugar on the top.

my one pound loss was a fluke yesterday. Morning weight 146 again! I leave for a cruise today, and I hear the food on Carnival is pretty bad, so maybe I won't be eating much. Wonder if I will lose weight on a 4 day bacardi 151 diet?

I was able to put on (comfortably) a pair of slacks I've not been able to wear in years! It's a great feeling to finally see some concrete results of all of the changes I've made.
Thanks again for everyone posting their stories (good and bad) because it helps me quite a bit. Glad to see I'm not the only one out there with the same troubles.
23 more lbs til my goal weight! 17 already gone...

correct; the benefits from exercise don't happen right away. don't run 3 miles and come home and expect to weigh a pound less. you might..but thats water weight and it will rebound later in the day once you're rehydrated.
but indeed, this is the point of exercise; to build up your 'engines', your quads, back muscles, abdominal muscles, etc. you wont see a six-pack untl your body fat is < 10% but your muscles are there hidden under the fat..and they're boosting your metabolism.
concentrate on the biggest muscle groups first..like your quads..and then work the others as well.
so yep, the 3 miles you run or 30 miles you bike will pay off over days and weeks as increased metabolism to help you in burning fat.
just cutting back on calories alone without 'waking up' your best weight-loss friend, your muscles, won't get you where you need to be.

For those of you frustrated with the scale, just remember you didn't gain all that weight overnight, so you're not gonna lose it overnight either

the GOOD news is it probably took you 5-10 years to gain that 50-70 extra pounds.
with a sensible diet plan you'll burn about 1lb a week (this is healthy) so it is possible to take MAJOR AMOUNTS of weight off that first year.
Just be happy you can take off 40-50 lbs in a year considering it took alot longer to put that on.
