Good job, all! Ihad set this same goal for myself before I saw this thread... So.. I'm in! :) I know, right? I had been drinking a pint of vodka a night (nearly 1k calories!) and it stalled my weight loss for a long, long time. Went most of last month without drinking and have dropped 17 lbs in that short time. Just have…

Sweet! Has to feel great reaching that goal! Congrats to you, and keep up the good work!

+1 for the C25K app. I'm three runs from completing the program and in just two short months I have gone from barely being able to jog for 1 block to jogging 2-3 miles (possibly more but the app tells me to stop). And I'm technically still obese. Lol No idea why you would turn purple, though. Sounds like circulation issues…

Doug, I look forward to following your progress. I want to hear about all of the gains your weight loss brings you. The little things that people take for granted... be it getting out of bed more easily, or picking something up from the floor without discomfort. These are the victories that will keep you motivated; the…

So how are all the recent quitters doing? I've still not had a drink in the 16 days I've been on MFP... And this is despite having a full pint of Vodka on the counter to tempt me. :D heck, I even went to a company meeting/retreat with an open bar and only ordered water. (Yes, I'm a masochist)

Brown Salami Edit: wow, so many commandos here!

I've been playing through the entire PC Engine library, cataloging meta info on each title and getting a feel for each game to write a brief description for a project I'm working on. Slow going because there are so many great games! :D

Agreed! We need more "you will probably fail... and die alone." :lol:

Stop that! Dude sounds like a complete doofus (to put it mildly). Don't take this the wrong way (or do!) but you're a babe! After 6 years it sounds like you are due for an upgrade in the boyfriend department. Just take it slow and don't rush into anything. Spend time making peace with it all and working on yourself- not…

1. Bacon 2. Cheese 3. Ranch 4. Lettuce Listed in order of quantity. Enjoy! :smiley:

Is that... Cabbage? :o

Lol, have to have something to put in the baskets I suppose!

Basket weaving. Because why not.

So how heavy of a drinker were you? I have been sober since I signed up 12 days ago. Not even a single drink, which has been difficult as I'm an insomniac and have pretty much relied on a pint of vodka to get to sleep every night for pretty much the last 10 years. That said, I have lost roughly a pound every day since I…

You can do it! Just set small short term goals (5-10 lbs) and knock them out one after another. If you slip up, shake it off and get right back to it rather than dwelling on failures. The confidence gained by each victory will be addictive and before you know it you'll find your clothes fitting too loose.

I agree fully with the above post. I am starting week 7 on Monday and I'm amazed that I can run for 20+ minutes now whereas before the 60-90 second runs would wipe me out. Granted, I'm going at a very slow pace, but the improvement with each run is easily noticeable. Stick with the program, go slow, and before you know it…

TMI warning - DO NOT READ I... destroyed the restroom at work. Doing low carb sometimes leads to constipation, and the time for release had finally come. 8 days of pent up eggs, cheese, meat.... You get the idea. The restroom is centrally located in a hallway that connects HR, IT, marketing, and legal. I returned to my…

Thanks!

Map my run does the same thing. Went for a roughly 40 minute jog and it told me something like 1,100 calories. I'm saving for a Garmin Vivoactive HR for this very reason.

Like a cheap Chinese bootleg, Twizzlers can only wish it was in the same league as Red Vines. Red Vines (the original) is like twice the diameter, has much better flavor, is delightfully chewy, and makes a perfect straw. May science have mercy on Twizzler fans!

Read a good book. Something by Vonnegut should do. Perhaps "Breakfast of Champions". Cook something new, either from recipe or wing it. Go look for cool stuff on the cheap at thrift shops. ? I'm out of ideas. Hope you find entertainment, bruh!

I spoon you long time. ;)

Bah... Just get a TurboGrafx and forget about all this newfangled stuff. :D

Now that is a fitting use for Twizzlers! :lol: Fake news! Nibs... You may have won this debate! But I'd still be hard pressed to choose between Red Vines and Nibs. I grew up on Twizzlers and they were my fav candy, but then I moved west and discovered Vines. It was like my whole life had been a lie, and suddenly a part of…

I'll concede that point. But I will counter that Red Vines make vastly superior straws!

Ugh, the hard ones give Red Vines a bad name. Lol... I squeeze the bags before I buy to make sure they are soft and fresh. Well... Back when I would buy them. Darn MFP and healthy eating... Boo... Just boo. ;)

At your age, you should have no problem. In my early 20's I dropped from 260 to 165 in a year or so (down to 6% body fat). The resiliency of young skin is impressive! Just keep it off once you get it off. You don't want to have skin worries when you're pushing 40. :/

O_O Way to go! I bet you feel like a whole different person. Always an inspiration to see such success!

:lol: Anyone remember the episode of Beavis and Butthead where they forget how to pee?
