Outstanding!!!

You look 10 years younger!

I'll join. Day two today. Hit 71% fat, 25% protein and 4% carb with my dinner tonight accounted for. I've lost a lot with the eat less/move more method, but have completely stalled since March-ish. Need something new to get back at it. Been reading The Obesity Code, makes a lot of sense.

Seems MC accidents are common. I hit a deer on mine in August, totaling my bike. Spinal fracture, wrist fracture and a severely sprained ankle. Hurt like hell for 2 months, used a cane to get around, but now only my ankle hurts. Slowly getting back out there walking at work. Steps are still tough.

What if you consumed only ACV? ;)

I'm impulsive. The only way I get around that is maintaining a routine and planning ahead. Works....most of the time!

Awesome! I'm coming up on 200 and I thought that was good, lol

I'm at 135 today. I was doing well before, but forgot to log my calories because I was busy all day. Lost ALL motivation and fell off the wagon.

I got locked down on my plan. Today was 129 days of logging my meals. 34#'s down. Had some stagnation from 02/06-04/16. I like to drink scotch, but I find a direct correlation to drinking and not losing weight.

Your sodium is high, but dude....EAT BREAKFAST!!!!!!

This is what I do for the most part and it works and is a lot cheaper than going out for lunch. I also will buy lo-cal premade lunches (boo sodium) for 10/$10. Love 'em.

Same here.

Right there with ya, Sarge. And screw that jumping out of a plane BS!

I like boobs. Big. Medium. Small. Doesn't matter. I'm a heterosexual male and I will not appologize for my natural inclinations. If it makes a woman feel better about herself, who are we to judge?

Outstanding! I'm just getting back into things and I remember seeing your previous posts. You rock!

Lost my focus. I'm the type of guys with 100 hobbies and I dedicate myself wholly to the hobby at the time. Be it hunting, woodworking, restoring cars....I made weightloss my hobby. Everything about it. I was completely dedicated. Lost 97 lbs. That was 2 years ago and I gained 55 back. I hope to stay focused long enough to…

I only think it's cheating when people hoop and holler about how great it is that they lost a big chunk of weight without acknowleging the surgery being the main reason. Similar to me taking credit for walking 37 miles into work when I drove a car. I know people I work with that have lost 150 lbs after surgery, but act…

Depends on which one. The coconut creme pie and the lime ones were awesome. The cherry pie was OK as was the lemon merangue. I did not care for the chocolate/coffee one. The apple pie one does taste like apple pie, but could use fewer nuts. I agree witht he above post that the most attractive thing about them is the…

Right there with ya. My wife isn't overly supportive, so when I get home and she has hamberger helper made........ let's just say I eat more than I plan.

The Road

I was looking for almond butter a few weeks back and saw it, and I too looked at it suspiciously. Today, I went for more almond butter and thought I would give it a chance as I had seen a lot of talk about it. Holy hell! I love it! I mixed it up and added some honey, then dipped apples in it! AWESOME!!!! Can't wait to get…

Holy hell! Good job!

It's better than the alternative, I guess. I'm not looking forward to it either, but lifting weights and skin creams can help mitigate the issue.

Careful watching the Biggest Loser. Their methods aren't healthy, they manipulate the contestants and the results and you'll find yourself getting discouraged when you work your *kitten* off and don't drop 12 lbs in a week like they do on the show.

I'm doing my best to eat clean as well. I've developed a love for avocados, recently. I have a protein shake for lunch that has sodium polyphosphate in it, that's about the worst I do during the day and that's just an emulsifier. Just trying to stick to as few ingredients as possible and eating fresh fruits and veggies.

That guy behind you in your profile pic suggest that you don't mind hanging out with creepy guys.

I remember one time only, that I felt I was normal size, but not really what I would consider thin. I was around 8 or 9 and was swimming every day, had a good tan and was pretty active. I remember distincly, walking to the store with no shirt on, realizing that I didn't have excess body fat. I have a picture on my desk of…

Just looking at your pictures, I can sure as hell see a difference!

Sometimes you just have to kick yourself in the *kitten* to get out of a funk. Begrudgingly, get off the couch and go work out. You'll hate every minute of it, I'm sure. But by the time you're done with your first round of exercise, it'll all come back to you. Think of how you want to be, not how you are or what you were.…

Lack of self control and laziness.
