I bike commute to work. I have been wearing shorts, but since it's getting colder I went to the store to get a long pair of exercise pants. I tried on a pair of XXL and they fell off of me.....XL still too big.....What! XL pants too big?! I am now wearing a size large......big victory for a dude who finds it hard to hide…

congratulations! Being a father has been the best thing in my life. It is a lot of hard work and challenging at times, but it is so rewarding. My 2 year old daughter and 4 month old son are my reasons for getting healthy. The hardest part is the lack of sleep....other than that it is so great! My daughter sleeps thru the…

You mean to tell me this so called Dr. is telling us to eat more fruits and vegetables......what a quack! I'm not convinced at all. Doesn't he know fruits and vegetables have carbs! Somebody needs to stop this guy before he does any more harm.

Stick to it for a week.....It will start to feel a lot better. I went thru food withdrawals too.

Damn son!

I didn't lose any weight this week. I have been on vacation so it has been harder. I will work extra hard in the upcoming weeks.

Ok I'm in. I'd like to lose two pounds a week. 18 more weeks.....that's 36 pounds.... putting me at my goal weight. I will check in once a week.

Damn! That's awesome!

Have you tried a pair of major cushion shoes like Hoka one one? I gave up on running for exercise since it beat me up to bad. I have a blue collar job and the combination of that and running was just too much. Bicycling is way less impact and way more enjoyable for me. I find bicycling to be the most relaxing and hardest…

I have read the Atkins book and Protein Power book years ago. I think a diet that limits cancer fighting fruits and vegetables to be counterintuitive. I think the main thing is to stay away from processed foods. I have worked with guys who have done the low carb diets and they do lose weight......then they get moody and…

Are you wearing cotton socks? Cotton is the worst thing to wear when trying to avoid friction.....at least for me it is.

My YMCA will watch my kids two hours a day for free while you work out. They have a play area/jungle gym for older kids, one for younger kids and a baby area. They charge based on your income. I pay 70 bucks a month for my wife, two kids and I. Well worth it just to get a break from the kids!

Good job. You got a gym on that boat?

It's summer so I have been wearing shorts for a few months......put on my jeans today and they are baggy....and I need to put a new hole in my belt

great job

Nice job!

I read this somewhere about doing a 5k or something along those lines. "It's better to come in last place than to never get off the couch."

My goal is to log my calories/exercise everyday. I want to lose about 40lbs by February 2016

I also have a two year old and a three month old. I want to be active, healthy and happy for them.

Good job!

Sounds like we are in a similar situation. I really don't want to be a sad sack around my kids.

I've never done anything like this before either. ....but I figure if I put myself out there then there is a certain amount of accountability. ....and I hate feeling like I failed. I think it will work for us. So lets do it!

That is really cool. My favorite I've seen so far.

Sorry about your miscarriage. That must have been hard.

195lbs from 235 by February 2016

Thanks
