All you dewers
Just an FYI
American Mountain Dew is loaded with caffene because the company puts it in there, I figure to addict you.
Canadian Mountain Dew nas NO caffene and tastes exactly the same
Congrats on the weight loss Pink..keep at it girl

I'm doing so good. I've cheated twice since quitting. I still have none in the house and haven't had any in my possession in 3 weeks.

But Mountain Dew, even Diet Dew, is the best drink to have when the migraines hit!

This is WITH pills.
Mine are caused by bright light: Summers by the water kills me.
I have one small bottle of it with me when we go on vacation, plus the pills. It's better than having to sit in a dark room for 4 hours until the pain goes away.

Since February, I'm down 10 lbs.
Now if my body would let me exercise more....
Now if my body would let me exercise more....
I workout a fair amount, but I think the most important part is just tracking the calories you take in. And it's a lot easier to keep that number low (while still taking in enough protein) by eating chicken salads, so I find myself eating a lot of those.
I also pretty much never snack. I probably wouldn't have to be as strict if I didn't like to unwind my days with a drink or two.

Carrying Vette's head as a trophy?
At this rate, Pink is going to be trim.
In 4 years.

Slow and steady wins the race. It took me three years to get my weight down to where I wanted it.
(and I laughed at the trophy comment...I got no comeback for that!

The quicker you lose fat the more likely you are to regain it.
No wheat or sugar. Low carb and exercise.You will be suprised!

Only after talking to your doctor first. Never start any diet without seeing if your body can handle it.

I don't own a scale so I just weight myself at Dr's appts.
I hope you are correct, Sir. I can't wait to get to my goal.

I'll just weigh in my opinion and people can take it or leave it as everyone is different.
If you really want to lose weight it all starts in your head, mentally. Losing weight is hard, period. One has to be dedicated and strict on themselves, plus if you have support around you (family, friends) it's a benefit.
Last May was my 49th birthday. I came to the realization that my next birthday was a half century which I reflected on it quite a lot. I'm not a guy who is scared of turning 50, it was more like asking myself what have I done up to now in my life, where am I, am I happy?
The answer in several categories was a profound "no"
A couple of days after my 49th I decided that I'm not happy being a fat 235lbs (104 kg) at 5' 11" (182cm).
Ten months later I'm now 179lbs (181 kg) as of this morning, I lost 56lbs.
At first I set a goal at 185lbs but since I hit that I still have some fat on my lower stomach to lose. Not that much mind you, but I can grab some when I let my posture down. I figure 170lbs would be good for me.
My opinion is you have to take a couple of weeks to ease into it eating wise. Slowly cut back on portion size, cut out certain foods, start to exercise by walking or whatever works for you. It was a great time for me to start and it's a good time right now since the nice weather, at least in the north is almost here.
I joined a gym, read stuff on line, watched YouTube videos and had hardly any support.
I completely cut out chips, soft drinks, desserts, sweets of any kind. I eat smaller portions of the right foods (mostly). I watch but I still eat pizza now and again, I also have a few beers here and there.
I burn more calories than I consume.
It all comes down to you. Look in the mirror at yourself. Do you really want to lose weigh? Or, do you wish you can lose weight?
The mental barriers are tough and will challenge you. Temptation in different situations are going to present themselves to you. Everytime you feel like giving in take a minute at that exact moment. I was tough on myself in these situations.
I asked myself, do I want to lose weight or do I want to be a quitter. Once you get to a point, it does become easier. Lifestyle changes are very tough.
The second challenge is to exercise and to stick with it. Some days you'll feel like saying, I don't feel like going for my walk, or going to the gym. Again it's all mental, remember what your goal is. On those days for me I usually ended up having a great workout, on top of that afterwards I felt fucking great because I refused to give in to what my old mindset was saying.
The old saying rings true. "If I can do it, anyone can do it".
There is no half ass way to do this. If one choses to travel this journey, the rewards are and feel great. Not only will you look and feel better in a mirror or on a scale, your mind will be more positive, stronger which makes stress and other negative things in life easier to handle and deal with. You'll hold your head higher, your confidence will be greater and you'll be walking with a jump in your step.
