I had the procedure done in August on my abdomen, flanks, and thighs. They want you to be within 30% of the weight range for your height. The procedure itself really doesn't take much weight off as fat is less dense than muscle. I am not to my goal weight yet and am still working on it but I had to lipo to get rid of those…

I'm going to date myself here but it was Nazareth in 1980.

It really doesn't matter how much you make beyond taking care of the basic needs. I say that because, if you make more, you spend more and can still end up living paycheck to paycheck. The key is, don't do what our government does and just increase the limit to keep spending when you don't have the money. If you balance…

Definitely not a nerd here and my screen name proves it. lol

I did as well...does that make us extra wise? :laugh:

I named my child after a Star Wars Character.

If you are getting in all of your calories and aren't hungry, then that's great!! You are on the right track!

Hi Ricky, Feel free to add me as a friend. The key is to consume less than you burn. That's the basic math but with that being said, I like to combine both strength training which keeps the muscle while you are losing the weight, with cardio which burns calories, alternating days. I try to workout 4-6 times a week. When it…

Feel free to add me too. :)

I'm 6'0 and have no issues with it what so ever! Except for the fact that shorter gals seem to like that tall guys too, leaving us with the shorter ones. :laugh:

Would love to do 100 miles this month but a lot will depend on the weather. 11/1/11, 23.03 miles, Duration 2:12, Ave Speed 10.45 mph

Welcome! I've been on here for a bit but just started building a network of friends for support. Friend request sent.

I'm 6'0 tall and I was in a tight 16 at my highest point, now down to 14. I think I would feel best in a 12. I want a size/weight that will be realistic to maintain.

I have typically go ahead and work out if the cold is above the neck, i.e. head cold, but if it's in the lungs, I give myself some time to recover.

I've got 118 miles in for the month. If the weather holds out, there will be more.

I coat it in taco seasoning, top with salsa, bake 25 minutes at 350, take out and top with 2% cheese, bake 5 more minutes. Super easy and delicious.

Way to go! I totally agree, life begins at 40.

You have another friend request. :)

I, like you, have developed a real love of cycling, just this past spring/summer. I bought a road bike and get on it as much as possible. I have ridden around 700 miles this season and have a goal of doing the RAGBRAI ride across Iowa next summer.
