Welcome! It's a wonderful place.

Awesome! That is a huge step!

Way to go!!! Crossing those 10 lb increments feels great.

Looking great.

Yeah! Makes it much more enjoyable when things aren't bouncing around.

Awesome work!

I will log as best I can but not going to obsess over making sure I log everything. Have a big quail hunting trip the next day that will burn off most of the calories.

I use Endomondo.com. They have an app for your smart phone that uses the gps to track your exercise.

That is one huge step. Congrats!

Way to go. For me the belt loop NSV is bigger than any SV.

By the way, I love the belt loop shot. For me dropping a belt loop is bigger than loosing the weight.

Congratulations, I know how you feel. Last year, at 52, I went to the doctor, high cholesterol, borderline high blood pressure, lots of stress at work, sleep apnea and raising two teenage daughters. I didn't think I would be around too much longer. I lost 30 lbs before I found MFP. I found other men like you on this site…

Awesome!

One year ago today (give or take a month), I was sitting comfortably in my recliner, munching on some chips and salsa thinking I was in pretty good shape for a 52 year old, 6 foot and 225 lbs (or so I thought), when my wife decided she was going to loose weight. I was thinking "Great, here we go again. It won't last two…

That my belly button isn't as deep as it used to be.

Got off of my cholesterol medicine, and my borderline high blood pressure was 106/67 this morning!!!! Less snoring as in almost never. The snoring was probably the worst part overall. It was causing me to not get a good night's sleep at night which affected everything. I was grumpy, stressed out and falling to sleep at my…

Way to go! Enjoy your time in the Navy. My duty, many years ago, are some of my best memories.

Less snoring, my wife really appreciates that. No more indigestion. Lot's more energy.

If I was running on a treadmill I would feel the same way. I love to run outside but I hate treadmills. I can spin and be happy with it indoors but I can't do the treadmill.

Technically speaking there isn't any nutrition in it other than water so it isn't good for you there and depending on your views of man-made chemicals it may or may not hurt you. I used to be a Pepsi addict and my wife was a diet Coke addict. When we finally gave those up all our heartburn went away. We used to go through…

I've tried the low carb thing and lost a lot of weight but for me it wasn't sustainable. I love pastas, breads, etc so completely cutting them out forever was not sustainable. Some of the studies I have read show that low carb diets cause you to loose weight initially quicker than other diets but then it tends to plateau…

7 daughters? Dude, I got scared and quit after 2. Have a buddy with four daughters that was my inspiration. My hat is off to you.
