  • I just joined this morning! I have seen a few very inactive groups on here, it's unfortunate. I've been struggling with depression and emotional eating for a long time, now. Yay, interaction! :D >.>

  • I've signed up for one. Going to be some work getting there. 7.13.2014 Spartan Sprint (Pennsylvania)

  • I've also been around the site for quite a while, and have been coming and going without seriously doing much. I was up to 260 pounds, and now I've been hovering around 250 until I recently got back in and got to 240. My goal is 180, and I've got a Spartan race to run in July that I'd like to build endurance and get in…

  • I've got a few people in life that are trying to push me, but when I'm not at the gym with them it's easy for my mind to wander. Would love to have more friends on this site to keep pushing me, and to push.

  • I've recently jumped back onto the tracks with my goals. I'm training for a Spartan race later this year, and they posted something that stuck with me, that might help you, too. "Giving up because of a setback is like slashing your other three tires because you got a flat." You can recover from this.

  • The heavier you are, the less you have to actually work to lose weight, that's why those 'thin' people are killing themselves. 1% of 300 is much easier for your body to get rid of because it's so much extra, 1% of 150... much more difficult, and 1% of 150 is a much lower number than that 1% of 150. You just need to keep…

  • Losing one's better than gaining one. :)
    in One pound? Really?!? Thats it?!? Comment by Sikketh October 2010
  • I used to weigh 220 pounds, I got down to 180 and lost track, ended up gaining weight all the way up to 250, so I know how it feels. It took me a while to get motivation to get back on track, and the fact that you're on this site is showing me that you've got at least a tiny bit of it. I'm back down to 220 again, you can…

  • "Never stop trying, failure happens ONLY when you give up BELIEVING." I stopped believing and shot back up past the weight I started at after I lost a lot, and now it's back to where I started, and it's time to get it back down to where it was when I lost it the first time.

  • At a higher weight, your body itself will provide enough resistance that you don't really need a gym. I was up at 250 pounds at one point, and just started eating more often (sounds weird, but smaller meals more often will make your metabolism work faster than big meals), MyFitnessPal has helped me keep track of my food,…

  • I've failed a lot! I went from 220 pounds down to 180, and shot up to 250, but I didn't let my slip-up keep me down, I started working at it again and now I'm 235, on my way back down to 180. You only truly fail when you give up and stop trying. Until then, you just slipped a little. One day is not going to completely…
