I didn't want to throw my wife's weight number out there out of respect for her, to be honest I don't even know the actual # anymore, nor does it even matter. I take fault for where we're at (the both of us) due to things I've said in frustration. I've repented (which the real meaning is to permanently change). My weight…

I'm working 14/14 (I'm a mud engineer)

Thanks for the input....she is on some type of either an anxiety or depression med...I don't ask because that's another sensitive subject. For those of you who misinterpreted a few words of my first post, it's about being healthy and active and being able to participate in a way with the family that brings happiness. I've…

I finally fell asleep last night, woke up feeling BAAAAD.....called an M.D. buddy and he said take it easy today, sip on fluids, 2 waters per electrolyte replacement, and to take the day off....he said that a bag or two of IV fluids would have had me recovered almost immediately but to take today off.

wow....well...uh...having been one of those who have been thru lots of sessions with my Psychiatrist, I've learned that in order to combat my triggers, that I have to be brutally honest with the fact that I have a problem. I've also learned thru my fat friends and work-out partners, that we're all fat for a reason, it's…

If your profile pic is a recent photo of you at 50, I only hope I'm lucky enough to look as good as you in 14 more years when I'm 50! Fit & Healthy is such a great goal rather than some arbitrary scale number. Eating right and exercise is what's been helping me. I got tired of walking and started riding a bike, I worked up…

Don't we all have eating disorders? I've gotten fat twice now because of what I'd consider eating disorders. I dropped 90lbs in 8 months (while taking phentermine and averaging 700 calories day for months on end) When I was 29, over 5 years I gained it back and for the last year I've been exercising and trying to eat…

losing that much weight in a month is a lot unless you're taking phentermine as an appetite suppressant (I Used to). Go you! And don't believe any of the *kitten* you read online from people bragging about weight loss unless progress pics are included. The next step is to not give a f*** what *other* people are doing (or…

I may be parenting all wrong, but my son is 6 years old and even though he's got a chunky face, he's skinny. I've been teaching him that it's all about moderation. A piece of cake is fine, just don't eat a huge piece and dessert isn't an everyday thing. I've got him to where he snacks on fruit & vegetables. Almost every…

If you're eating right and exercising 3x/week and you've lost 20lbs...All I know to say is congratulations! Lots of so-called weight loss experts believe that slowly loosing increases the chances of it staying off for good. I'd imagine with your exercise that you're at a-lot better cardiovascular fitness level than 12…
