This week, I am going to point you to several interesting links:

This link will tell you how many calories it takes to stay at your present body weight.

I Really like this calorie list (of foods) cuz you can print *LABELS*....

This is just a cool collection of tools including a food calorie list.

My method of losing weight has been to simply count calories, keep them a little below the required amount (by about 700), and exercise. For exercise, I walk and work out at the gym. While my calorie intake occasionally has me a little hungry, I am never ravenous, and it is not painful.

My starting weight (at 6') was 285, my weight as of this morning was 234. I plan to get to 205, muscled up, then maintain.

Cool calculator you found. Thanks for the link.

Mrs. L is on South Beach which pretty much means I'm on South Beach. I haven't done the hardcore first two weeks, mostly because giving up beer is an inhuman thing to ask me to do. Two a day can't be all that bad....

Anyway the weights melting off of her. Me? I'm not gaining any more which is good.

Last week I went through cuadruple bypass surgery and am recovering slowly at home. I have a treadmill and free wieghts and want to get back to exercising as soon as I can. Since they removed most of the arteries from my left leg to replace the ones in my heart I notice my feet and legs swells up quite a bit. Can I still use the treadmill? How soon can I start exercising? They are removing the stiches on 6 April.

I hope someone out there that has had the same medical condition can offer me some advice.

I am with you. I'm a total chip-a-holic. No chips are safe with me around.

I'm stuffed with a 6 inch hunk

I carry a thermos to work with hot water for tea. I drink green tea and yogi tea every day.

Yogi tea?

No but not one crumb will survive from a bad of Doritos if I get a hold of it.

Freudian slips are the most telling of all. :^)

I'm down 53.5 lbs now since the end of September, my pants size has gone from a 44" waist to 38".

What was the time between your weigh ins?

[mainepatsfan]

Are you looking to build muscle or burn fat? It's damn tough to do both at the same time.
