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.

I also mix it up too...Yogi Tea is my favorite then Traditional Medicinals. My favorite green tea company is Mountain Spring. I got into herbal teas because I don't want to drink coffee. Down to a small half-caff a day.

Don't pay any attention to those. Your body fat percentage is what counts.

What kind of sandwich? I go with the six inch ham on wheat.
To: irishtenor
That means you built some muscle which is great.

I get the ham or turkey with skimpy mayo and skimpy yellow mustard but heaped with all the other freebies. I generally get the foot long and eat half when I get home and the other half the next day at work. It is my tradition to get a bag of original flavor Sun Chips. Even though it is part of the "meal" I rarely ever get a cup of pop because I hate to carry it. I like their wheat bread pretty good. Publix has good subs, too.

I load up with everything except for lettuce and olives.
To: mainepatsfan
I basically end up with a big salad on a piece of bread!
To: Millee
Not so good lately. We have been battling a stomach virus in our house. YUK!
To: A knight without armor
It's quick, convenient and it fills me up. Heck it's worth the same amount of WW points as a dinky McDonald's hamburger.
To: mainepatsfan
That is so true. I'm stuffed with a 6 inch hunk and I feel like I have really EATEN something. It really IS just a big salad on a piece of bread!
To: A knight without armor
That fiber really does fill one up.
To: mainepatsfan
Yes it does. Speaking of fiber it is almost time for American Idol.

I hate running as much as the next person, but there is a ton of nutrition, fitness, and motivational information.
And I am proud to report that I lost another 1.4 pounds tonight making my new total....39.2 pounds!!

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

Yup. The light Doritos don't help because I'll still eat them all.
To: conservativebabe
Well, that's one way to lose weight. :op
Hope the babe family is up & running soon!

I've lost 37 lbs on the "Pie and Burrito" diet. Not kidding. I use "Stockton Sugarless Pie filling" for breakfast and desert and make burritos with loads of vegetables and some meat and cheese. Reduces the load of carbs I've been eating after I eliminated bread from my diet. I'm not able to break past 197 right now, but at that weight there's not much fat left and I'd have to lose muscle. Still, less than 3 months. I think the key thing is the bread, Glutens just don't agree with my family. I truly believe that many of Northern European descent may find similar success with this approach. I also recomment "The Zone" by Dr. Sears for more information on a safe low-carb meal regiment.
Good luck all.
