There's not as much motion in the ocean without a decent sized oar.

I don't see that specific section on the website

I was suffering from sleep apnea and had just bought a CPAP when I found out I was getting surgery in a couple of weeks. I literally used the CPAP for a week, started losing weight, and never needed it again. You might want to get rechecked.

And our parents wonder why we got fat?!?

I always try to share my story and say what worked for me rather than telling others what they need to do. What worked for me worked but it may not work for them. I dislike it when people say, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO all matter of factly.

Ain't nobody got time for that! Obama is the devil, duh! You can't change people's minds with pesky facts and such.

I order appetizers as meals many times.

Great tips. I especially like ones about weighing yourself, keeping a journal, and getting enough sleep.< /p>

It's hard to work out when you are tired. I go through the same thing. Some days I'm motivated and some days I'm not. Having a workout buddy can help sometimes. I know for me weightloss is about 80/20 diet/exercise. It's great when I can get that extra 20% boost from exercise but it's hard to motivate myself to do it. I also agree about the metabolism thing. Damn it slows down the older we get! You're on the right track. Keep trying and you'll find something you can stick to and enjoy.

You don't need a scale to track your BMI. BMI is just a simple calculation based on your weight and your height. I use a simple Excel spreadsheet to do mine but I think BMI is a very outdated way of measuring weight loss success.
Metric Units: BMI = Weight (kg) / (Height (m) x Height (m))
English Units: BMI = Weight (lb) / (Height (in) x Height (in)) x 703

I have experienced the exact same thing. I'd recommend tracking your body fat percentage instead of weight. You can buy scales that will measure it for you or they make handheld devices that can do it too.

I'm reading The Sound And The Fury by William Faulkner.

Who let a cute girl in the 'Men's Room'? Alert...Alert!!! Lol.

I didn't hide my decision from anyone so it's been great not worrying about who does or doesn't know.

I started by not drinking with meals and I find that I can't drink with meals now.

I drink up until time to eat. I then abstain from drinking until 30-60 minutes after I eat. I have had many friends that drink and eat with meals continually dilate their pouch and they have had terrible weight loss. That's reason enough for me to wait.

It could be a slip or it could just be a pouch dilation. I would take some liquid motrin and go on full liquids for a few days and definitely see the doc.

blah blah blah, political rant...blah blah blah.
<just insert what you want to yell at other people above>

I stay on the loose side to avoid the problems I've seen other bandsters have by getting too tight and therefore I am hungrier more than I would like to be.
