Funny. My one daughter said she would give up her iTouch. She watches a lot of Netflix there. But she is only 10, and I told her I thought that was too much, mostly because she just got it for Christmas.... Though, LOL, she could always watch netflix on TV, I guess.

I believe that my A1C was about 8.5 My cholesterol was about 235 - I think.

LOL, thanks buddy!

And why do they think 300 people need to see that?

I have one. It is adjustable in weight up to 25 pounds.... I am registering for a class tomorrow. I can tell you this: I have NEVER had something get me winded so quickly. I hope that I can get through the classes. They are different than dumbbells in that there is far more movement in each rep than you get with a…

The one that really wore me out was Forget You from Cee Lo Green. Much harder than dancing to Motown or 70's / 80's the way I usually dance.

You know, even if you don't mind the general principle of the swapping, I don't see why anybody thinks it is fine to do at the YMCA.

Yeah... at a buffet. Can't say that I have at a YMCA with 300 people around.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but may I suggest watching a movie called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead"? I saw it, and it woke me up.... but here is what is cool for YOU. They follow the life of a truck driver in parts of the movie..... I saw this movie, and while I didn't decide to do what the movie promotes, I…

whhaaaaa???????

Well, apparently not! I mentioned this to a few folks today at the gym, and they said kids do stuff like that these days.

Well, if you build muscle, muscle burns fat faster..... but it does stink to see the scale go up. I know a body builder... he eats 6000 - 10000 calories a day... he can only do that because he has so much muscle.

I get that thought EVERY DAY. But then I take a deep breath, and get past it. And every time I see some progress, I like the feeling I get. Like today, I jogged 1000'. A few days ago, I could only jog 500'. It is the small victories that win the war.

up to 7 miles now..... but doing more than just walking.

Ha Ha... my wife wanted to know why I have so many MFP friends.... I said because we're outnumbered by about 100 to 1. :) Age 49. Highest weight 326 The horrible - but motivating avatar picture, was me at 306 Currently 272 First goal is 199 2nd goal is 180 Final goal is 165...... and I am shooting for Feb 2013 to reach…

I'm available for only $2.99 a month, or $29.99 a year. :)

I know you lost a lot of weight, but you speak like your word is gospel. It isn't. Not everybody has a body that works like yours does.

I guess I know who won't be my friend..... I use that photo as motivation.

what, nobody remembers? :)

why do you feel the need to say ANYTHING?

Oh , no..... I'm along the lines of eating 10 pounds of BBQ, LOL..... that's how hungry I feel... but I am behaving. Saving my calories for Swedish Meatballs tonight.

Every single 1 counts! :)

Sorry to hear that. That must have been rough.

I don't think I EVER was.

Not do much a star, but I sure do feel great about having done it.... and yeah, fat guys can call a fat guy fat, LOL.

You guys rock.... and yes, the title was made to make people laugh. But I also knew I would not get laughed AT. But it truly was an amazing feeling to me.... just last week I was saying I couldn't because of terrible shin splints, and now here I am starting to run. :)

Well, my goal is 250 feet further, next time. :)

I think I am starting to "pay for it" right now, LOL.... wish I had a jacuzzi tub.

another 1.5 miles today.... total of 4 miles in 2 days.

I did watch.... though I hate both teams.
