I think if anyone said a year ago that in a years time Mlylt would lose 50 odd pounds, that would be considered a success. She has a lifetime of habits to try and break. I think learning to cook a heap of different healthy meals that both her and her daughter enjoy and cooking in batches/freezing them etc, will be a key to losing the rest of the weight and getting healthier. Anyway I just think she does deserve some credit, regardless of her less than great food choices. She has kept the weight off and kept logging. Those pictures do show a real difference and if she loses the same amount of weight this year she will be at her target weight. Obviously she will need to improve what she is doing to get there as it will get a lot harder the more weight she loses.

Definitely not. I'm almost at lifetime peak BW levels. Like the level of fatness that finally made me get into lifting weights. At least I'm a lot stronger now. :shrug:

I do believe that was posted some time ago by a fat guy named Thayer.

It's almost like you planned your food.

On a similar note, I will have a 20oz strip and potato here in about 45 minutes, and I too will be right at 2k for the day.

So, related to the topic at hand (and apropos to Rexx's post), as an athlete I never wanted to train with people who gave me kudos for the sake of kudos, or for small things I was doing right. Which, btw, is rampant in many of the gyms I've trained at. I always wanted to know what I was doing wrong or what I could change to improve what I was doing. Never would I receive an atta boy for doing the things I was supposed to be doing anyway. Nor would I give them for such things. We are there to get better.

Maybe that's the reason that MLY gets so much grief. Losing the weight she's lost is fine, but she could have done so much better and at the very least could have made real strides to changing her habits. Instead, she's ignored advice over and over, and made no real significant changes to her habits.

She's done the easy part of going from morbidly obese to obese.

Congrats.

I did manage to fit in 11km of strolling about today to help offset the fact that someone 70lbs+ heavier than me is on the same food intake. smh.

Somehow I ran out of pasta?!? So ate buckwheat instead.

I'd be mildly interested to train at a facility that was just people showing up and not really doing anything other than sweating a lot. I suppose I could join one of the weird adult circuit training classes they have where I work out for that if I really felt the urge. If anyone saw me... :/

If it was so easy to do technically there should be no morbidly obese people around. I agree that she has a long way to go but I don't think you should write off the work she has done. Consistently logging, even when making bad food choices, has probably saved her from putting the weight back on. That's a positive in itself.

Nail on head.

Different ideals though. She probably needs encouragement for what she is doing right and the constant bashing isn't doing her any favours.

She could do better but she has done a decent job. She should get that credit and encouraged for it.

Yeah what Rex said

Huge deficit for me...and very temporary. This will be my lowest kcal week since I've been an adult, if I had to guess.

It's not easy, but it is simple.

I can't argue with the rest of what you said.

I think he most noteworthy ability is to keep posting. Tho I do see YTF parallels.

I'm just trying to make an in earnest effort to lean out by mid-late June despite a week of vacation. I'll prob get there. I've had to cut the floor beers and live with being hungry a lot. But so goes it. I don't really mind the walking tho. Weather is nice and it is a welcome substitute to sitting on a patio drinking beer, which I will ideally move back into once I reach a lower setpoint.

ETA:

cock,

I'd love to hear your thoughts on why my programming and compliance are bad or whatever your inane comments were here. If I'm to be exposed to your poorly formed thoughts, I'd atleast like the enjoyment of mocking you in public rather than sequestered in my own little corner of the universe.

Now that you've made the effort to draw public opinion to your misguided sense of humour.... are you allowing me an unconditional right to post in your log?

Please be free to Mock as you see fair

No. This is a quid pro quo. I get the chance to mock you in a public setting in exchange for you getting to air your silly views for everyone.

Fair enough.

Maybe you could lead this dance...

You have earnt the first 'quick' step

I think I explained that earlier.

However, perhaps Thayer has a point. I just ate a mango. Another 135 cals. I might even consume some more of these pork rind things for 100 more calories. Clearly the carbs/sugar addiction is getting me.

I guess the public mocking has started.

Eating mango without chilli.

Wut

I basically think "wut" any time anyone north of the Tropic of Cancer talks about eating a mango.

We have planes now you know

We, not they clearly.

What exactly is the 'Golden Loco'?

It's a trophy for the person with the best performance throughout the year according to Loco

And this goes by calendar year? Do we have until 12/31/16?
