Time for a new PCP ASAP.

Thanks everybody for the great replies. This gives me a good starting point. I guess I'll start out slow and push the envelope as I progress and see where that takes me. One of these days, I'll have...

This really isn't a question, I think I'm looking for some opinions on this subject. When I start going back to the gym, now that I'm "skinny", I would like to do some heavy lifting and put on some...

I think your doing just fine, I'm down 110 lbs at 6 months out and I'm loosing much more slowly, about 1 - 2 lbs per week, most weeks, some less than that. Keeping track of what your intake is is a...

Christine, make sure your are drinking 64 oz's of water at a minimum daily, dehydration will stall you in an instant. If you can walk daily, or some other type of exercise to help get your metabolism...
