That's not "small" - it's massive. Well done.

Wow! Well done!

That's fantastic. I have so much respect for the people who come in last but are still out there pushing themselves over the line. Next time you're out there, think of us all cheering you on!

Great job! Well done :smile:

Calm down, 1800 of that is today's allowance that I hadn't eaten yet. The rest is mostly running, that I don't eat all of it back. Relax.

OK, so I haven't had lunch yet, but my Net Calories Under Weekly Goal right now is 4120. Pass the butter!

I started running on December 29th last year. I felt like a beached whale after Xmas so I just got dressed and went out. My first run, I got about a mile before almost exhaling a lung. The first time I ran 5k - nothing official, just around the neighbourhood - it took me 34:40. I've kept running since then, slowly building…

Played 6 hours of softball today at a tournament. During the 6th hour the rain started coming down *bad* and, to keep warm, I started doing star jumps in the outfield.

1. Bought new jeans today. Used to be a 40" waist. Took a 38 and 36 into the changing room with me. Neither fit... walked out with a 34. 2. Went for a run. Usually do two loops of a 1.8 mile circuit. Started a bit fast today, and I knew the wife was at home waiting for me so we could go out, so I thought "eh.... I'll see…

Started at 232, this morning I weighed in at 199.8! It can be done!

Wow. You are awesome. Thanks for sharing your story.

It pisses me off when people think irritating is the same as important.

Had to pause my run today and tie my shorts tighter cos they kept falling off my butt!

The one that bugs me is those stupid fancy vinegar bottles you get in pubs or restaurants trying to be posh... The ones with the gaping hole and the stopper you have to lift out. Then you have to try dribbling vinegar out at the perfect angle. 1 degree either way means you either get no vinegar at all or one chip gets ALL…

This is why my wedding cake was made of cheese. 5 wheels of it stacked on top of each other. :smiley:

When I run outside I am a spitting, snotty, nose blowing, sweaty mess. I know it's gross, but I need to breathe dammit!

I've been using the Runtastic push ups app recently, could barely manage 14 in a session when I started. Today I did 54 push ups. Fifty freaking four!

Ran my 1st mile on December 29th and it nearly killed me. Decided I would make myself run 100 miles total. Today, 98 days later, I ran my 98th, 99th, 100th, and 101st miles. And immediately set a new total distance goal on Runkeeper :smile:

Holy moses, the dumb is strong here.

My posture has improved when playing the drums, which makes me a better drummer. Didn't see that coming!

Was playing football this evening and a friend of mine I haven't seen for a while was playing for the opposition. During a break in play I said hi, and he did a double take. Said he didn't recognise me because I'd lost so much weight. Then one of his team told him to stop flirting with the opposition and get on with the…

Whut?

1st - 1.8 miles 2nd - 2.3 miles 4th - 4.0 miles 5th - 3.2 miles 7th - 3.1 miles

Went to get a haircut today, wasn't embarrassed by having to look at my face in the mirror. Fewer chins!

Maybe, maybe not. But why guess? Weigh it, log it, and find out for certain.

That's a fantastic start, well done :)

Thank you! Nothing special, mostly just CICO. I've tried to stick with the MFP recommended calories for a 1.5 lbs/week loss, and make sure I get plenty of protein within that. For me that was about 1700 calories/day. I've actually been losing more like 2 lbs/week on that, and when MFP recommended that I revise my calorie…

1st - 1.8 miles 2nd - 2.3 miles 4th - 4.0 miles 5th - 3.2 miles

Great, I hope it helps! Keep at it, 26 lbs is excellent :)
