Hobbies? -Magnets What dat Mouth do? -Complain. If you're a little bit damaged... I'm a sucker for that.

Day 20. I am down 10.4 lbs and feel confident saying most of my water weight is gone... so the upcoming losses should be mostly fat. Losses will be slow from here forward but it's more targeted so my confidence is high. Still alcohol free, some working out here and there, not much ... but I'm on track. Hunger is an issue…

Stop trying to meal prep ... and just eat less portions of the same stuff. Accept that to lose weight you will feel hunger and embrace it. Just put less of the same food in your mouth. Don't bother exercising.

Sunshine morning ... Dog photobomb...

As for seasoning, all i ever put on my meat is salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the wood speak up. Let the meat's flavor show ...

Outdoor, on cherry wood I think is the only way to get on this level:

I walked 2700 miles from mexico to canada unassisted in 2011.

And in his birthday suit later that night!

@joha5603 ... I never got a msg : / @whitpauly ...the last few days he seems 100%. Thanks for asking. Still red skinned, but no more blisters and his is mood is back to normal. And I am on day 19 which means i made it through the night.

Loving father by day: Stine cold killer by night! Happy flex-friday fam!

@Kiki9871 ... day 4 is a great start. I'm on day 18 !! Let's stick it out as best we can at least through sober october. I cant sleep. Stressed... sad ... but determined. My life will be better than this one day. I just have to stay committed to the positive changes I am making.

Hardest day yet today. Had a big problem at work and I just wanted so bad to come home and drink and sleep. 9 p.m. extremely difficult even now. Feeling very low. Thanks for letting me vent

"Well ... there's this girl" jk

Sad that the OP hasn't even logged in since this was posted : (

^^ thank you for sharing this. I really needed to read some inspiration.

Your body does not "get use to what you're doing" ... starvation mode is a total myth ... you're just still eating too much.

Understand that the first 2 weeks you're just losing water weight, not fat. And eat less. You see a water weight drop due to less carbohydrates and the glycogen reserves flushing water out as they get depleted. Burning fat is a long slow process.

Amateurs practice until they get it right. Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.

If i hit my goals by April first I'm buying a new motorcycle. Goals: 6 months no alcohol 6 months no out to eat 12.5% bodyfat ( ~40lbs lost) Make the prize big enough that you'll never choose a Wendy's hamburger over the prize.

^^ I love this! A night at the bar would cost the same as a massage.

The Dedicated 12? Jk

I would appreciate if alliebabe8035 could still join.

@MissTeriAnn ... it all looks absolutely scrummy!!

Also re starting ... also need to lose 15kg ... also work in an office ... long stressful hours. And I cope with food. Or I used to at least. I sent you a Fr

Fundamental: The idea that exercise is integral to weight loss is missguided. Just put less stuff in your mouth. you WILL lose weight. controlling what you eat is 100% of the solution to weighing less. they key to controlling what you eat starts by KNOWING what you eat. buy a food scale ... don't even change your eating…

Someone above said: "if your husband cant cook". I hope they meant "ca'nt cook because both his arms were amputated in an industrial accident" Zero excuse for anyone to not cook and clean for themselves. Absolutely zero.

In order to give good advice ... are you Male or female and how tall are you? Only you can decide if you want to change. Once the decision is made ... only you can keep deciding every day to keep doing it. If you've been eating unhealthy and gaining weight for 5 years ... it's going to take a full year to reverse the…

After my experimenting i have found if i eat breakfast I am hungry all day. I go as long as I can before breaking fast ... when I do i try to eat 1 ounce of nuts ... and make that last as long as I can before lunch. Lunch is whatever is leftover from dinner. Dinner is highly variable.

34 degrees. Driving to work ... trademark messy hair

My boy is ten months now ... and he is a huge inspiration in my quest for fitness. I want to be a good example, and a good coach ... I want to train him to be the best athlete in his class. And it starts by leading by example. I too, feel this time is different.
