Well Heck! Just the fact that you're reading this right now might make you an MFP addict!

Started at 223. Currently at 162.

I've tries the OxyElite Pro a few times when GNC was giving it out as a bonus for buying other stuff. Makes me feel sped up. But I liked it. Put me in a good mood. But... I don't know if it did anything for me weight-wise. I was gonna hit up GNC this weekend to ask about the Total Lean stuff. I'd like to kick off the last…

Check out LunaTik.com. It's the best! So glad I did it. Keep the headphone cable in your shirt and down you sleeve. Stays outta your way. Functions as a watch. And has a huge cool factor.

Men's Health says to do weights first. Says that you'll be able to lift heavier if you do weights before cardio.

I like the Clif Builder's. 20g protein. I get the peanut butter one. It's quite yummy. Builder bar. Not the regular Clif bars. Those are like gummy mud.

Call me crazy, but I'd love to give some Kopi Luwak a shot. Look it up. It's expensive though. And I'd be the only in my house to try it. Not sure the wife would even want to use the coffee maker again after that. Now you really wanna look it up, huh?

This is my question exactly. I've also upped my strength training and protein intake. I've since gained 6 lbs. I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that my body is in shock and is retaining water. Once my body figured out what's going on, it should release the water and the scale should show it. Just trying to be patient. I…

How about... STACKS? You know? Since that's how you build a sandwich.

I started MMA about a year ago. Mondays we work on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique. Tuesdays we work on Mui Thai kick-boxing. Thursdays we spar either the BJJ or the standup. Friday is an open class always different. I love it. That's how I got started on this weight loss thing. Then came MyFitnessPal. The. The gym. I like…

Get it on!

My wife is in love with Jason Statham. So, I guess... Jason Statham. I might be able to get there. Just need to bulk up at this point. Get them abs to pop out. I always joke with her that at least my only competition is a short bald guy. =)

I could go for a Chipotle Chicken Fajita Buritto with tons of salsa and guacamole.

Gotta drop this reply in here so it goes to My Topics for a later read. Looks like there's alot of info in this thread.

I need to know!

At only 6 days in, your body is probably saying, "Hey, what's going on here? I better hang onto whatever fat and water weight I've got to keep me sustained." Don't worry. It takes a little time for your body to kick in to your new way of life. It'll happen. Just give it some time. =)

Sweet Potato Chips by Food Should Taste This Good. Mmm... With some simple homemade fresh guacamole. Can't beat it. As for eating just one serving? Haven't quite figured that out yet. =)

Cinema Paradiso. I cry like a baby. One the caught me off guard - Bridge To Terabithia. Pixar's UP!

They sure do feel good. Nice and comfy. I was always a boxer guy until I needed compression shorts for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They were so comfortable that I switched to boxer-briefs hoping for the same comfort. I've since bought a few of the compression shirts. They're comfy and wick away the sweat. It doesn't seem like it…

I make myself a wrap. I use the 100 calorie wraps. A slice of low-fat provolone. One serving of turkey lunchmeat. A handful of broccoli-slaw (right outta the bag, no dressing/mayo). Some of those dehydrated, fried onions. Shake some Tapatio hot sauce on it. Stick it in the toaster oven. Delicious. And under 300 calories. I…

I'm gonna be putting out a bunch of music this year. On vinyl! Holy crap. Yes, people still dig on vinyl. Especially for the kind of music I'm doing. Old-school funk/soul. You could hear some of it at Kickstarter.com. Just search for "Chris Lujan". That's me. This is a big goal for me. It's been too many years since I've…

Psyllium husk in my protein shakes.

2005 Mini Cooper S with all the options! Fun, fun, fun!

Make a rule for yourself: No eatIng at any place that has a drive-thru. Worked for me.

Hey, hey! Here we are! Yeah... 301 days and counting. Down 65 lbs. Just gotta keep it off!

I drink coffee everyday. EVERYDAY! I've lost 65 lbs. and am at my goal weight. I even drop some Fat-Free Vanilla Creamer into it. As long as you stck to your guns with your calories and exercise, you'll be good. I refuse to give up my coffee. =)

A blog. Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. Probably the proper way to go about it. I hadn't thought about that. I'll try that then. Thanks.

I use Skullcandy Titans. But... I still have to push them deeper into my ears while working out sometimes.

I go with a Chicken Fajita Burrito with lotsa mild salsa, some guacamole and lettuce. I ask them to just give me half as much rice as they would. 745 calories. Sometimes my wife and I will split one. That's really all you need. Eat half. You'll be fine. Take a break. You won't feel like you need to eat the whole thing.
