Hey there. I don't know you, but I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, friend!

I came back to read this just for the inspiration. This is like the fourth or fifth time I have read it.

Very inspiring.

Well I got an email from the Craigslist contact - her husband already sold it. :( Oh well, I will keep fishing Craigslist for a good deal on it!

I have been thinking of doing P90X for a while. I went on Craigslist today, and a person has an unopened box of P90X that I am purchasing/picking up tomorrow for just $50. I will be opening it before I give her the money, though!

Your flexibility definitely appears to be greatly improved!

I want to see this mole! I have a hard enough time getting them out of my yard, and the fact you were able to get it to climb your leg is incredible. Oh, wait a minute. Never mind...

Southern white guy here from Alabama. Lived in Tennessee, three hours away from home, for several years now. My relatives, especially my sisters, say I sound "uppity" now. Makes no sense to me. I admit my accent is not as thick as it used to be, but I haven't purposely tried to change it.

Wow, thanks for the quick responses tonight! My Google-fu was not strong tonight, evidently!

I'm a certified lab tech. The line will not turn blue unless there is beta-HCG in the urine. However, the more concentrated the urine the stronger the color change will be. Whenever I ran pregnancy tests in the ER (different positive indicator, same methodology, I called the slightest color change a positive. That being…

I sent this to a friend of mine on here: Non-fat weight can go up and down- water can be retained or lost over a matter of hours. Muscle mass can increase and decrease over a matter of days. Stepping on the scale differently (your foot placement on the platform) can affect the displayed weight. The roller-coaster effect…

It's the fact she is not willing to put for the effort and sacrifice to get healthy. Invite/challenge her to join you. If she refuses, you then have the ammunition to shoot her down for her jealousy should she choose not to join you in your journey. Looks like the poster just before me was thinking the same thing!

Wow, that was such a good post. I literally felt the emotion of it. Congratulations!

Don't misunderstand me- there are some conditions that cause obesity. But it is a very, very small number. And research has shown the HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) increases weight disproportionately in animal studies. I am aware of this. But it makes no sense that humans maintained a decent weight for thousands of years…

I used to use work as an excuse. Now I make time to walk and run. I look for opportunities to turn "no burn" into "some burn".

I am fat. F-A-T. As in I still have 128 pounds to lose FAT. It's not a bad word. Why? Because I was lazy. L-A-Z-Y. Because I made bad choices and ate too much. It might not be politically correct to say it, but the truth is the vast majority of people would lose weight without surgery, pills, etc. if they would just get…

Amen to what you said.

I have not read all these posts- too busy, so if this is a quote or paraphrase of someone else, that's ok. Sidesteal said over-consumption of calories. True. But why? Until the late 1800s the world was an agrarian society. Not only that, but an agrarian society that used man and animal power to get tasks done around the…

...give birth to death... Hilarious!!!

I have already posted here, but dude, you are a freaking beast. Awesome.

I put sugar free Swiss Miss packet in mine to 8 oz of coffee.

The Man from Snowy River

They said I could be anything I wanted to be, so I became a cloud.

Any news? Have you dated yet, or is it a Friday Night date?

Yes, this ^^^. It's kind of like, "Meh, let's do it again today." But I've come too far to quit. I think one thing is I lost just .2 pounds as of my last weigh in, and I am going to stick it out and make sure I lose this tire around my neck and waist. Superpapa's ticker says it all, by the way.

Best NSV story I think I have ever read. Congratulations!

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down with Bacon

This proves to me that weight loss is much of a matter of the mind as it is the body. I constantly feel like the weight I want to lose is already gone, until I see a mirror. When you get it right in your head, the rest will follow.

Big, big NSV. Congratulations!

Genius! I will have to try this!
