Thanks I'll figure it appreciate the help and I knew what coconut sugar was and I have been logging the food that's how I can quote to you what I have been eating.

I forgot to add I am 50 years old and six feet tall if that helps anyone

Ok I am a bit of a problem. Last Tuesday, my weight was at 282.7 which was one of the lowest it has been in a while but I haven't been over 295 in over two years. Anyway, since then I have upped my water intake, I am doing at least 3 L a day, mainly veggies and meats with some carbs like rice and one baked potato except for 1 cheat meal. I have cut out my diet cokes for the most part, I might have 1 every two day but the weight is moving if anything I have been heavier. Usually around 284-285 range. I do some form of exercise each day, with my go to being pushups, around 60-100 usually per day. I am starting to walk the hill at our house, it is a very steep grade, 3 times at least which is about 0.5 miles in 10 minutes. Ok I am in need of some help please. Typical breakfast is 4 eggs, about 2 oz of cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. I also have a 20 oz coffee with coconut sugar and creamer. Lunch is usually broccoli or some of the steamer veggie collection NO rice for the most part and tuna, chicken, beef or pork Dinner is pretty much a repeat of lunch.

Thanks I am going to attempt to be more active.

Hello again everyone!!! I was a member back a few years ago. But I got a bit lost on the way and now I am back. I have started reading Steve's book along with making more positive changes in my life. I managed to lose about 70 lbs around 2 years ago. I gained 15 of it back and now I am back on the quest to get the weight management back in order. I got a divorce a little after I lost my weight and I think that was one of the factors to me gaining the 15 back. I am back on the primal eating habits again, which is helping. I have a very beautiful woman in my life now and we are both questing to make some changes. Well anyway, Hey again y'all and I will be around some more Matt

Welcome Ross and glad you have you

I think I know what you are saying but I am having a bit of a problem formulating the correct way to tell you so here it goes slide your thumb and forefinger around it and pull back on the cuff and slide it off at the same time if it the cuff I think it is, you might want to practice using it

Injuries really do suck. Good luck and you will find more than a few great people here that can and will help you if you need it

Welcome and I think you can edit that part of you like. I wish you a ton of success in what you are doing. I am on the same journey myself

Hey everyone, I found this site back in January and I was rocking along with my weight loss from what I had stated a year before I was down about 70 lbs. Then I allowed myself to get waylaid for about a month, which wasn't the really bad thing. I was hit or miss on both diet and workouts which was a huge blunder on my part but I was on the road to fixing the problems when I thought I was having a heart attack, this was 1st part of May. I was in the hospital for a week, ended up with a stent after they found one of the small arteries that fed my heart was blocked but the main problem was not from my heart, it was from my gallbladder... I tried toughing that out for a while and just this week, Wednesday, I had it removed. I think I feel better but still hurting from the four small incisions that I now have. All of this along with my getting off track has gotten me a bit bummed out and I gained about 20 lbs of my lost weight back, which has made me reexamine all of what I had been doing since March or so. So starting when I am able to start moving better, which should be sometime next week, I am going to get back on my weight reduction/ healthy me horse and start riding back off into the sunset again. Currently I am at 310 lbs at 6 feet. I am going to put up some measurements in the next few days and take some pictures that I might or might not post but I will have them. I short term goal, by August 20th (the day I start back to teaching for the next school year) is to be down 20 lbs and dropped enough in my waist to wear the pants I just bought (size 42). Long term goal is to be at 230 lbs or a little lower along with being able to do at least 5 pullups and at least 5 one arm pushups. Well that is it for me tonight, thanks for reading

I have no questions but I do have a very warm Hello and welcome, along with a big dose of "you can do it!!"

hats are good for me. While I would wear the bandanna my wife on the other hand would have some comment or two about not wearing it. if we get hats I hope we get the low crown one, not the trucker style

Harry Dresden from the series by Jim Butcher just because he is a wizard that lives in the modern age and he would be a great guy to just talk to Mercy Thompson from Patricia Briggs series... as noted before she is a BA lady but also just seems like a fun one to talk to.. also hanging out with her would get the side benefit of talking to Adam her Alpha Jean Luc Picard - the man just seems like some one that you could have man different levels of conversions with and not get either of us board Drizzt Do'Urden another interesting soul and I would really like to study martial arts under him Elric from the books by Micheal Moorecock just because I have been a fan of his for a while but he might get moody and just off me with his awesome blade Storm Bringer

I am so glad I am not the only one that has thought like this.. scares the crap out of me at times

I teach High School Chemistry and take questions like "Can you make thermite?" "Yes i can." (student) "Can you show me how to do it?" (Me) "No, I really don't want to explain to your mother why you burned a hole through your foot."
