    My first walk was a 1/2 mile and it was pretty rough. On my days off I get in around 10-11 miles. 6 in the morning, 3 after lunch, then 2 after dinner. On days I work I do 3 after lunch, then 2 after dinner. On my WallyBall nights I usually don't walk after dinner. I do drink occasionally. Love me some Coney Island Hard Root Beer. No more than one a day though. 180 calories a bottle. :-)

    This is amazing. I'm at 388lbs currently, and that's after losing 9. Started waking up early in the mornings to walk, and I've been doing a mile every morning. I think after seeing this, I'm going to step up my game a little bit!

    Thanks man.

    That is incredibly well done. You're an inspiration to me. You have proven that a lifestyle change beats a diet or exercise any day. Not saying there is not merit to all ways, but I honestly believe that just being accountable to ourselves is the key and I am trying to utilize that theory now. I am two weeks in, 5.8lbs in my personal journey down, 29.2lbs to go :smiley: Thanks again for the awesome motivation!!

    Here is a link to my log. I know a lot of my meals are repetitive, but I love what I eat and I am a creature of habit.

    I didn't really follow any specific program. I do did plan my meals a day in advance so I could get the macros and nutrient counts were they needed to be. I also got a book from iBooks called "Ride Your Way Lean" It's obviously for cyclists but is has awesome information in it.
