I hear you about falling off the wagon and then getting dragged by it, also I tend to sit up and watch it motor on down the road, usually while I'm chowing down on pizza and beer. Every time I get in great shape I say to myself it's easier to just stay in great shape, but I always have some excuse to stop exercising and go…

I had mine a few years ago, but now I feel like I need to buy an old Jeep.

To get fit and active, and then stay fit and active.

I see things that other people cannot.

I don't have web access at my house so I went with the DVDs. BB has a bunch of different programs I know, and I went with Insanity because of the high reviews it got from so many people. With the streaming I'm sure you'll be able to switch around until you find something that works for you.

I used the Insanity DVDs and my knees couldn't take all the jumping, and I was even going easy. Although I did see results, and quickly, after about three weeks I could barley walk. I can run five miles fine, but Insanity just has too much jumping for my knees. You might be able to get some clips on YouTube and then try…

How are your knees?

I took a hot shower right after a hard workout, it did not end well.

If the intense exercising is making it so you just go home and crash on your bed, dial the exercise back a bit until you get to a point where you can exercise adequately and still have energy when you get home. You're still going to lose weight.

The bubbles expand in your stomach making you feel full.

A buddy of mine in the Army got a tapeworm and he lost a lot of weight before they figured out what was wrong with him.

I mix my runs up, so one day I'll run as fast as I can for as long as I can, then drop to a walk, and then repeat the sprint until I've finished five miles. Then for three or four days I'll go at a much slower pace and shoot for running the full five miles. Play around a bit and find out what works best for you.

How much for the "Rainbow Magical Unicorn Sparkles?" Once my Nigerian inheritance comes in I'll be flush with money, so no price will be too high.

Just because someone states he or she is hungry doesn't mean that person intends to eat a double cheeseburger, large order of fries, and a giant milkshake. Being hungry doesn't imply requiring the consumption of a full on meal. I can be hungry, eat an apple, and then I'm good. For the OP a small can of tuna was enough to…

ladyreva78, I can laugh about it now, I doubt any of the custodial staff will ever be able to laugh about that mess. You're correct, he ate his food well away from me after that, and our manager started a new policy about eating food at work stations. Apparently I was not the only person who had lodged some complaints…

I worked at an investment bank in NYC years ago and there was one guy who would bring in the stinkiest Asian food. I explained to him my sensitivity to odors, so the next night he made the concerted effort to sit right next to me while he ate, all the while commenting on how great his dinner tasted. Since I was working on…

I never comment on what, or how much, people eat, that's their choices and has no impact on my life. What I would find offensive is the smell of the tuna. Something about seafood makes my nauseated to the point I have to leave the room. Which sucks because where I work there are almost daily late afternoon spreads and they…

I think I would fail the "All You Can Eat Buffet" test, especially if they have French fries and pizza.

I've come to the conclusion that living on the planet Earth will eventually kill me.

I would recommend setting up an appointment with your doctor, explain to him or her what you're doing to lose weight, especially your diet, and then make appropriate choices based on his or her advice.

I prefer being alone. I've tried running with other people in the past, but either they go too fast or I go too fast, so I found it's just easier to run by myself.

I cut calories and increased my workouts.

How many cupcakes?

Don't forget to tell your doctor about you dizziness and being nauseated.

52 and I've lost 47 pounds since mid February. My problem is I can still remember when I was in great shape in the Army, or when I was working out tons when I was in my early thirties, and now my body just doesn't recover like it did when I was younger. Because of this I tend to push myself too hard. If you're anything…

I don't have this while I'm working out, but a couple of times it's happened post workout. There was one time I woke up on the floor, I figured since I was on the floor I might as well take a break and rest for a few minutes. For me it's caused by low blood pressure. My doctor said the only real threat to my health is if I…

Well, what works for me is to put on the too big pants first, and then let them hang there, or fall down, and then I put on the pants that fit. This way I get to see the pants that four months ago were too tight looking like clown pants on me now, before I put on the pants that actually fit.

I've found that when I continue wearing pants that no longer fit because I've shrunk it gives me a constant affirmation of the weight I've lost, where as when I wear pants that fit nicely, well, they fit nicely, so there isn't that constant reminder of how much I've lost. Even though I know the pants that are too big have…

I like snowshoeing, which gets me moving and out of the house. Also I still run after work, even though it's dark. My motivation is to simply keep up with my exercise routine. I don't enjoy being cold either, but I enjoy being fat and unfit even more, so I focus on how good I feel after a workout. Sugar has never been a…

Reduce your calories and/or increase your workouts.
