Welcome, it all starts with the nutrition, track it, and you will become very aware of what you are putting in your body. Sometimes we fool ourselves, but the proof is int he tracking. Send me an ADD, I'm always more than happy ot share my struggles and what has worked for me.

Welcome....you are in the right place, great people here.... You have already got the mindset down, slow and steady is the key to a true transformation. Time. Patience.Practice. a friend always tells me....

ZERO, I workout exclusively at home....

This is how I do mine: 1) Determine your resting metabolic rate. Take your body weight (210lbs) x 10 = 2,100 2) Add calories for Daily activity (NOT including Excercise) = +20% (of above #) = 420 3) Add calories for what is burned during Excercise = 600 ( I took a weekly average) 4) Add them up, we receive: 3120 5) Now…

Great place to be, like minded people with varying advice and experiences, good luck and feel free to ADD me.....always willing to share my struggles and what works for me!

Welcome...I totally get the long hours thing, I work 60 hours a week, and I either have to do it super early AM, my preference, or later at night after dinner is prepared for the family, dishes, bat/bedtime for the little one, etc, etc...sometimes it isn't until midnight. What are your goals?

Currently in Phase 1 of P90X2, Sunday = X2 Core (Core workout using fitness ball, med balls) Monday = Plyocide (Jump training, combined with mind drills) Tuesday - Recovery & Mobility ( Stretching - Foam roller workout) Wednesday = X2 Total Body & Abs (Resistance Training w/ Instability incorporated) Thursday = X2 Yoga…

Find healthy replacements to curb your cravings...I use Fage Greek Yogurt and almonds sometimes. A protein shake with a nice flavor? Sugar is an addictive force that our bodies start to depend on, it's tough to kick, but you can do it.....

Nutrition is 80%, dial in your food plan and track it here to hold yourself accountable, exercise, cardio and resistance training... What are your goals ?

Welcome....you can accomplish a lot before summer

For me it's my WHY....Why do I want to be healthy? WHY do I want to be fit? WHY do I want to eat clean? Because, I want to live to see my kids' kids. There are many more. Focus on your WHY, and if you want it, you can have it. A Friend of mine put it perfectly "Look in the mirror, lift up your shirt, do you like what you…

I had to customize my calories in MFP, I didn't like the way it calculates exercise. So what I did is add my average calorie burn from my weekly exercise into my overall caloric goal. You may not be eating enough with all the exercise you are doing....it is important to fuel your body, against everything we are taught you…

Welcome one, welcome all, feel free to add me....Let's motivate each other and hold each other accountable!

Congrats Nick! I am getting married on Oct 6th, 2012. Sounds like you don't have much to lose....let us know how it goes

It can be a struggle for sure.....but the best thing to do is share what you actually struggle with....with so many people here, with similar aspirations and experiences, you are bound to get some good responses.

Losing Steam? You probably need to mix it up a bit. You have lost 70lbs already, that right there is an accomplishment. Try mixing up your nutrition, and you exercise, throw something new in the mix.... Congratulations on the 70 ! :happy:
