  • Stick your hand out of the window of a car going down the interstate and try to hold it still. Yes, that's wind resistance, and yes, that takes physical exertion. Now, ride a motorcycle down the interstate. You're pushing with your neck and lower back to stay upright as the wind hits you. You push/pull the handlebars to…

  • Sorry to dig this up from the grave, but I just returned from a weekend trip from Charlotte, NC to Birmingham, AL and back. We rode over 1000 miles in two days, at least 16 hours total riding. Probably more. My food choices were less than optimal but this makes me feel a little better. Although, I find it hard to believe I…

  • Do you guys think drinking 1-2 cans of diet/zero calorie soda per day would be detrimental to weight loss effort? I have a friend on here that's lost over 100lbs drinking diet soda the whole time. I don't mind giving it up if it's what needs to be done, but if it's no calories I really don't know how it could hurt. I enjoy…

  • Wishing for a scale victory Monday! Even if it's just a pound. And that we finish up remodeling our bathrooms this weekend. That'll help burn some calories at least!

  • +1 I study Organizational Communications and we talk about stuff like this all the time in my classes. Usually sexual/racial/religious harassment, but this isn't much different. A polite response isn't out of line, but don't risk your job by stooping to her level. If she doesn't respond well to your polite confrontation,…

  • Wow, you're so far along! And so close! You might do well to try and plan ahead for meals/snacks so you don't fall off the wagon in your busy schedule. I'm in the same boat and that's what i'm trying to do. A friend said something to this effect yesterday that really resonated with me.... Just because you had a bad meal…

  • Hello everyone, happy Tuesday to you. I am thrilled to have found some support/encouragement on here from some other guys who have succeeded in weight loss goals similar to mine. MFP is such a blessing to me. GOALS (I guess I'll post up how I'm doing on these next Tuesday): 1. We're headed to the beach on September 15. My…

  • Buying clothes isn't something I really enjoy (as i'm sure most guys can relate to) but I will say I am probably going to enjoy it a bit more when I've lost enough weight to necessitate a wardrobe change! For those that didn't see my post on the other thread, I'm looking for low cost/no cost incentives to set for myself at…

  • I've felt the same way in the past. Why not just enjoy eating what I want.... I think the fact is I really can't stay big and enjoy life to the fullest. I can't keep up with my wife, who is 5'8" 135lbs, in any kind of physical activity. I'm predisposed to health problems. I can't be sure i'll fit on a roller coaster or in…

  • Man this thread is really growing! I think participating with you guys here will really help to encourage me and stay on track. Hopefully I can remember to check in every day! My Monday check-in: I did pretty well over the weekend. Worked on the house some (we're remodeling our two bathrooms) and cut the lawn. Both things…

  • Happy to have found this place. MFP is a great tool. There's no excuse for me not logging my food - EVERYTHING is in the database, and it's so easy on my iPhone. Wednesday wishes - I wish I could go back in time and convince myself to change my lifestyle earlier. Not an advocate of living in the past, but it sure would be…
