    I think I would like to join you on your couch potato journey. I am pretty sure I could eat at least one jumbo bag of potato chips every evening, probably 2 if I set my mind to it.

    I'm a professional couch potato... happy to provide training tips

    The thing that really helped me get to where I am was changing my thinking. Once I realized that there is nothing that can't be put off for another hour or day or week or month or year, I was well on my way...

    Heck... who said taxes are certain? I've been deferring filing them for years now

    Potato chips aren't my thing, but I will be supportive and eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's every night.

    Also, there is no food that can't be deep fried... even previously deep fried things can be refried. If you're already an experienced couch potato, you can just get a scooter that can shuttle you between the TV and kitchen... if you are a pro like me, you just have a deep fryer in every room.

    Make sure you track how many calories you burned pushing the joystick on your scooter

    In order to get that body, you are going to need that couch. It looks like it reclines, so it could be spendy. But, think of it as your anti-gym membership.

    Update:

    It's been about 5 months since I moved to couch potato status. (thank you injuries and work cancer!)

    It would appear that I have managed to lose some of the pesky thigh gap, but my compulsive need to track my food has me maintaining my goal weight.

    Overall, it would appear that if you continue to log your food, you CAN indeed still stay at goal weight. The only drawback is that you don't get to eat all the food anymore.

    Thank you everyone for the support - it was very helpful! :grinning:
