I used to be 80 pounds heavier. I had arthritis in both knees. I also had 3 surgeries that keep me from lifting heavy ever again. I can't do more than 1/2 squats or lunges. BTW - I lost the weight in 18 months. Now... I cycle, swim, & run. In fact this combo of exercises has kept the bad knees at bay and I am currently…

Log out - then log back in. Works every time.

Thanks for your replies...Some great feedback above * I will try a different pair of running shoes (my old ones) * I have googled different stretching techniques and will add a few * It is not TFL - I have no ache after I stop running or the next day * It could definitely be doing too much too soon - Cycling and swimming…

P.S. - And coffee does count as water

Gave up sugar...but not fat or liquor. I lost 80 pounds in 18 months anyway just counting the calories. Calories in < calories out = weight loss. Simple math really.

Jennifer Aniston does NOT need more flair...her flair was perfect. Everyone else was overflairing

OP - read the book. Atkins is LOW CARBS - not no carbs. In my case it was about 50 carbs a day allowed. When I did Atkins, I lost 35 pounds, but I missed pasta BAD...so I switched to WW, which is low fat, and lost 15 more pounds. After doing Atkins and WW... I missed regular food BAD so I switched to something insane that…

Very good points - especially the second one. Regarding Niners first point (above) - Which is why I pay instructors for training and I practice regularly (which, in both cases, is fun to do). CC training uses 21 feet for the qualification shoot. At 21 feet, you are still theoretically able to get away. Flight before fight.

I messaged you OP. I have had 3 hernias and I am currently training for a Sprint-Triathlon. I will no longer lift heavy as I seem to have a predisposition to get hernias and I got them while I was very active and not overweight (the opposite of the post-above). Hernias can happen to anyone. Oh yeah - be sure to use a BOARD…

Nice first post...covers beer, golf, and beer commercials ;-)

I am not sure if you meant this or were trying to be funny - but - I dislike generalizations. Everybody on the sidewalk does not have a handgun. Everybody is not on antidepressants. Granted there are some people that give CC a bad rep - no argument there - but you don't hear about the people who do CC who are law abiding,…

@megdnoorman I carry a .380 Ruger LCP (Light Compact Pistol) in a wallet-looking holster in the front or back pocket of my jeans. It is 100% concealed.

I lost 80 pounds in 18 months while drinking beer, wine, and my favorite - bourbon. I just counted the calories and left room for them.

I can ride for a couple of hours, pushing hard and be sore and exhausted - like after a hard race. And stay sore for a couple of days. I can do exactly the same ride 3 or 4 mph slower and feel fine, but like I did something and have no soreness...maybe just a feeling of muscle use for a day or so after. Maybe slow your…

Before I could comment on this thread, in depth research was needed. So I watched Zombieland and Hunger Games and, after careful study, I have come to the conclusion they are both beautiful and they could both be on my Zombie Apocalypse team.

80 pounds off...it took 18 months. I have kept it off for 10+/- years and finally made a very much delayed side-by-side pic. I am currently training for my first Sprint-Triathlon

I just started to add running to my swimming/cycling workouts as I decided to do a Sprint-Triathlon. Since I swim and cycle a bunch and I am already in very good shape...I thought - How hard can running be? I immediately found out that running muscles are 100% different than swimming and cycling muscles... So - I am on…

I wanted to lose 10 pounds this year. Only 13 to go.

A recent study has found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.

I loose wait when I watch my crabs

I thought it was a booger but it's not :p (say it out loud)

Thnx for the link!

If you are American when you go into the bathroom, and you are American when you come out of the bathroom, what are you when you are in the bathroom? European

Lacy was running everywhere and then - boom - ran out of gas. She still had to watch us do everything. She was asleep before we hit the black-top ;-)
