1975 here. Amazing Stories and the 80's Twilight Zone were the best shows on TV!

Do the heavy flirting with your wife. I respect all women and will be happy and friendly. But my love is for my squeeze. In my opinion, something isn't right if you feel like you need to flirt with anyone but your wife. Does that mean you can't talk crap with your buddies or be like damn she is fine? Of course not we are…

Yeah I was eating that stuff EVERY day. I have to cut back.

Getting to 100 pounds lost. I am at 99 pounds I am break neck dedicated to drop a pound by this Thursday.

Yeah I'd say this thread is a bit encouraging.

Went shopping for Levis. Pulled a size 38 off the rack and found out they were too big. Fit into a 36 and smiled. Can't wait for onederland.

Must feel so good. Freaking awesome.

I used to lift at Golds gym back in 93-94 and was always told I have a large frame by pro body builders that used to go there. I always was big even when I was a teenager. Broad shoulders. That could of been just *kitten* talk and it's really all that I am going by. People today still tell me it. It could all be hogwash…

I was just trying to get a somewhat accurate not to thin target/goal number. Nothing more than that. 180 is what I picked initially. I just didn't know if that was too low and try to get to 190 instead. The only reason I picked 180 was because it was in the middle of the bmi calculator 168-192. I am not basing it on…

Thanks for the replies. I want to be lean with some muscle. Body fat % is decreased/increased how? I will look at the colleges around here. I live in MA near Boston. I used to sprint a lot when I was 18/19. And lifted at that age as well. Any good articles that you guys rec I read online? Thanks! :)

Add me and you will instantly lose 10 pounds. Go magic weight loss!

Before I would just eat anything without thinking about it at all. If I craved something, I would eat it. Now it's a conscious choice. I think about how many calories is that. What are the nutrients. How can this fit into my day. Mentally I will try my hardest to not go over my calories. Just a whole change in the thought…

more friends the better!

I weighed 296 Dec 14th and now weigh 236 March 23rd. So in 3 months and 9 days I lost 60 pounds eating 1400 calories and walking/jogging. And a good metabolism/fast thyroid. It is probably on the high end of the bell curve but my blood pressure has dropped significantly and I feel like a million bucks. So I'll trade some…

I've eaten 1400 calories since December 14th of 2015 and I am 6'1 40 year old large framed male. Weighed 296 on Dec 14th. It is now March 21st of 2016 and I've lost 59 pounds with jogging/running on top. I currently weigh 237.0 This may be true for some people but it is certainly not true for me and others from what I've…

There are more times than I'd like to admit when I go out for a jog/walk, a part of me really really really doesn't want to do it. Almost like turn around right now feeling. When I feel like that I try to just push on. Almost blindingly inside without thinking about it. Then once I am doing it for about 20 min the good…

Just goes to show you what a little bit of effort can do. Freaking good for you man.

I am 6'1 male. I do not want to lose LBM and I probably did. I thought going under the minimum by 100 calories wouldn't be so bad and that the weight loss, though fast, was more beneficial than having it on. I had a thyroid test done and equated highly sensitive thyroid to having a fast metabolism. I never had a metabolism…

1st place for you. That is awesome. Keep it up! :smiley:

Next mini goal is getting to 233 pounds. 23 has always been a special number to me. And I used to be a size 34 jeans. I can't wait to go clothes shopping once I hit my final goal of 180.0. Also being able to get on a zip line without it turning into a slingshot will be awesome as well. I hope everyone gets to their happy…

Ah, so it's a weekly timing thing. Thanks.

I eat some of them back if I feel like snacking. Not all the time but I'd say 40% of the time I eat half back. I tell ya, a little bit of OCD develops when counting calories like this. It seems a bit helpful in a way.

I've lost 76 pounds doing absolutely nothing but walking 4 to 5 times a week. Anywhere from 3 to 7 miles roughly 4 to 4.5mph. If I were to walk any faster, I would be in a slow jog. I also try to be as strict as I can allowing myself 1400 calories daily. Personally I think walking is underrated as hell. I love when people…

The way I handle it is, I find comfort in knowing the world doesn't want to be negative. Look at all the good people who support you and live a good life. That what everyone on this rock is heading toward. Not everyone is like that at this point in humanity. I love to work, have fun, help others and be generally happy and…

Power walking 13 to 14 munute miles.

Self control was the hardest for me. Walking through market baskets bakery or an italian bakery was brutal. But I can safely say that I can now control the urge which was impossible before. Now I look at the weight I've lost and work put in. I do not want to throw it all away. I'm in this to the finish.

Yeah but how big did the trainer really get? He didn't put on THAT much weight, I mean he looked a bit heavier. It isn't nearly the mental weight that a really overweight person carries. I mean, he did it for the show. He knew it was coming off. He was heavy but nothing like being really obese. It makes for good TV though…

Ok thank you! :)

Ok good. I was also just wondering from a, I guess science standpoint, of how the body processes food. Would it be better to kick start the metabolism with a large breakfast and then a ok lunch and then a light dinner. Wonder how your metabolism works in that regard.

Does anyone know how to slow down time? I mean, I was just in 1994 10 minutes ago. Now I'm overweight and 40. Hoping to be 180 by Nov 1st.
