Biggest Loser Fan
I love the show but what is so great about it are the things that they do to lose weight and things they do for encouragement to keep going. One thing stuck with me and I want to try it and that is seeing and feeling the weight lose again. Meaning... take the 25 pounds you have lost and put it back on your body and feel…

Getting back in the game!
It's been a few weeks since I've been on. It's summer, so of course things have been crazy. Money was tight so I had to put my membership on hold, however I recently was accepted into a YMCA internship program and I now have a free Y membership. YEAH!!!! In the meantime, I fell off the wagon. After noticing I had gained…

Slipping back into my old habits
Hi all, I've noticed over the last 2 weeks I'm slipping back into my old habits - making really bad food choices. Yesterday alone I was over by 850 cals :sad: I need to get back on track, I can't undo the progress I've already made, I just can't! Today's goal is to stay within my cals. If I can do that today then there's…

Oregon Brewers festival
Like most guys (and some gals on here too:tongue: ), booze is a big killer, especially in the summer time. Anyone have any strategies to handle those bbqs/ beerfests/ nights on the deck/ et al? My usual is to just really limit the cals I have during the day so I can have more beers at night. Not fasting or starving, mind…

For those that have lost many of their pounds and are still shedding, what made the true difference? Was it exercise, was it portion control, what did you do to make it really "work" for you? Please share with us and the rest of the world who is suffering obesity. Thanks!

has this happened to you?
Has anyone gone to their doctor concerned about their weight only to get the feeling of being brushed off because you didn't need to lose a hundred + pounds ? I have been following the plan my doctor and nutritionist have me on to the letter (this is actually the 3rd modification to it since January) and I feel they don't…

Broken Scale?
So tell me if you think my scale is broken. I bought a cheap $20 scale from target to track my progress. I check it once a week. This morning I step on the scale, and it reads 174lbs, which means I've gained 4lbs since starting this diet. Not convinced this was true, I tried it again, this time it reads 162.5lbs. I tried 2…

New mission Statment
O.k. so I am sitting here trying to think of a quote that totally sums up what what I need to focus on in this struggle with my weight. The quote is "Ambition is the path to success but persistence is the vehicle you arrive in." Persistence. Working out even when you feel that it is not working and you see no progress.…

Mixed feelings..
So! I just noticed on my counter that it looks like I've dropped 11 lbs... I've got about 5-10 more that I want to lose, but am pretty hyped about where I am at the moment. I can't believe it every time i step on the scale and the numbers just keep going down... The thing is, despite having lost said 11 lbs, I have lost…

"The unhurried life" - Words of Wisdom - July 24, 2008
Good morning. In our feverency, passion and enthusiasm for a goal, it is easy to fall into the trap of hurrying. I am not commending laziness. Nobody admires slow-moving. But, your energy, enthusiasm and excitement must wear the harness of accuracy. Punctuality is a great success trait! Moving steadily methodically, and…

Big Problem!
I had a week break back to home. Had lots of chocolates. Gained a kg, but was definite, that I would shed it easily. Has been a week now. Have gained back all weight, although am not eating the total calories. Started regular exercise too. Nothing seems to help. I have water retention problem as PMS. But my date is 2 weeks…

Going camping this weekend!
Ok, I am going camping with some buddies and I have a notion that I will probably blow my whole calorie "allowance" each day...Did you know that 24 bottles of Corona is well over 3000 calories? I think I am gonna be in trouble... Oops. Ok, so I won't drink 24 a day, but quite a few and then smores and other "camping" food!…

Words of Wisdom - 7.23.08 - This weeks attitude
Good morning. A positive attitude has nothing to do with what happens to you. Its what you do with, and how you react to, what happens to you!! Your humor, internal belief system, and your ability to look at things from a different perspective. Thats the key to a positive attitude! Stuck in traffic, NO PROBLEM! Turn on the…

Went through the drive thru at McDonald's today...
Forgive me Father for I have sinned... I went to McD's today for the first time in about a month. I used to be a hamburger junkie....so today, I had one hamburger and a small diet coke. Oh well, time to go to step class at five and burn it off. It's amazing how quickly it takes to eat something and how LONG it takes to…

Some quotes that help me through the day

It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone~Orison Swett Marden Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself~Harvey…

DISAPPOINTED
I have been so good not eating sweets, well I actually have not been eating any in awhile. Well, the sweet tooth got the better of me today. I had WAY WAY too many sweets. At least tomorrow starts a new day! Thank goodness! Plus tomorrow officially starts in 2 1/2 hours! :wink:

SO excited! Digitally enhanced picture of me at my goal wei
I found a website where you can actually submit a photo of yourself to be "enhanced" to show you at your goal weight. It wasn't free, but I think it was well worth it! Check out the pictures in my profile...you'll see the before and after...I am so excited about what I will look like when I get this weight off!

Disapointed in myself
I started in February. I have been doing this for 6 months now. Half a year!! I have only lost 20lbs!! The same 20lbs I had lost in the first 2 months!!! It all comes down to the junk food I eat. I should be down 30lbs at LEAST!! I would almost be at my half way goal if I wasn't so... I don't even know what to call myself!…

2 day binge...must be better tomorrow!
I wish I had you all here to watch me everyday and kick my butt when I mess up! I have gone on a 2 day binge. I swear I've probably gained 5 pounds and I feel like crap! I'm not really sure what triggered it, I think it was probably stress and depression over something that happened with my friends this weekend. Let's just…
