LOL Farback that was too funny.

I've heard that Mediterraneans are stringy... I'm so very sorry. It's been a long week.

Weight 11/12/17 = 194# No issues this week. 'Batching it while the boss lady is out of town. Plan on doing an In Body scan next week to check on my progress. Can't wait!

This looks interesting, I think I'll join in if that's okay... Name: Jim Total Weight lost: 132 pounds Time it took to lose: 1 year, 3 months How long in maintenance: 8 months Maintenance weight range: 195-200 Week of... 2nd January - 194 Lost two pounds this week (accidentally), was able to get to the gym for 3 days &…

I use a combination of supplements and live protein sources to hit my 180 mg goal. The powders help me avoid all of the extra fat I would have to ingest on a daily basis. Increasing LBM while reducing body fat is a fine-line operation. I've done well so far & have lost nearly 135 pounds and steadily increased LBM @ 1 to 3…

It's obvious that you have another career path available if you want to pursue it. Beautiful job!

By a jolly old dude in a red suit?

Here, here UncleMac! I hopped on a high row machine this evening without checking and got some dirt-bag kid's sweat all over my hands. I'm not a squeamish person, but that was gross!

That is an interesting article. I just hope I caught it in time.

Too funny. A week ago my son asked me to start taking his phone with me when I go on my runs. He said that it would help him gain new Pokemon characters...*sigh*

That one caught my funny bone! I laughed so hard I woke my wife up.

Dude...awesome! I'm a bit jealous of your skills. Our "liars table" can be found in the local bar...I know what you mean about tall tales. I've been both a firefighter and an underground miner. I think miners are worse. LOL

Such insight...really impressive. None of us are really alone as long as we stay in touch.

Maybe some, the real question is how long will any newbies stick around. The gym I go to is packed until March before the crowd thins out...it's kind of sad. A lot of folks don't stick around long enough to begin to have fun.

Today's In-Body scan = 14.7% body fat & a BMR >2000 calories! I'm totally stoked!

That's one happy baby!

That's the plan Ann, I don't know what it will be, but there will be something just for me...thanks for the encouragement everyone. ~Jim~

Hot digety damn! A1C was 5.7! Doing a Happy Dance (now can I have a real cookie?)

15 pull-ups. I've never done more than 2.

UncleMac keep them coming please. They were both worthy of a smile.

Thanks @dlrIsentx suppose I should introduce myself too. I didn't see the topic when I joined. My name is Jim. I am 54 and live in north central California. I began my lifestyle change in November 2014 when my doctor told me that I would have to take pills for the rest of my life to control my blood glucose levels. I took…

Someone is going to get hurt and it won't be the cat...LOL

Ah come on, liver is "good stuff Maynard".

Yay protein! LOL

I broke down and found a gym near my daughter's house that will let me hang out for a couple of days. The temps here are similar to those at home, but humidity is awful... I have to keep going to keep my glucose levels down. I'm looking forward to getting back to California...

I'm on the road quite a bit too. I've found that it helps to be familiar with the menus of chain restaurants. Sometimes it can get boring eating the same thing, but I know what I'm putting into my body... The hard part for me is combating the munchies, so I cart around a lunch cooler stocked with protein laden goodies.…

LOL. I was doing landmines and the bar hit my iPod turning it of mid-lift. I had rested the end of the bar on my hip & was fumbling with the button trying to turn it back on. This 16 year old kid came over and asked if he could help...I was a little torqued at first but couldn't help it...I looked at him and pressed the…

Hanging out with my granddaughter.

That's just too funny!

Thanks.
