bump, so I can read the responses later. :-)

I love to listen to books too. I made a rule for myself, I can only listen while working out. I get so wrapped up in the books that I can't wait to go exercise to find out what happens next. I just finished the Hunger Games trillogy and I am looking around for the next good book. I think the next one will be something with…

I can't give any advice. I can just tell you that it is great that you are thinking about it. You have an awesome weight loss so far. Maybe I can give some advice. I have always wanted to do Brazillian Jiu Jitsu but I was waiting for the weight to come down first. I realized that that was dumb... why wait when I can at…

oh... a hot librarian, I am in! Feel free to add me.

Hum... lonely guy with pants that have weird red splatters on them. SURE! Add me, but I am not getting in a van with you!

The buffet I go to has sushi, salad, and boiled shrimp. When I go I have no problem filling up on salad, eating some sushi and shrimp. I think you just have to decide if you want to stay in your calorie goal or not. The best option is to make a plan, if you think you are gonna eat 2k calories then workout like crazy that…

The class was amazing!! Thank you for everyone's advice :happy:

Bumping this because we have been friends for a day and you have already been so supportive. Anyone looking for support add him, he is really great!

it is not the only thing I do. I joined the Jillian Michaels website and I have the circuit training on her app for my ipod. Her website isn't cheap and the circuit training is a bit advanced but I like that it kicks my *kitten*. I can see that I am doing better when I can actually do ALL that she says to do (aka 20…

One of my goals was to be able to run so I started the Couch to 5k (C25K) running program. It can take you from laying on the couch to running a 5k in 9 weeks. It has been taking me longer because I repeat a week until I feel good about where I am at and then move to the next week. Here is a link for the program…

That is so awesome that you had your first day at the gym. For sure have a trainer show you around and show you how to use things. Like others have said this is usually free with your signup. When I first started I acutally paid for a trainer for a month. She showed me how to workout and use the machines. Then she set up a…

Great links!! Thank you!

You are a great inspiration! Great job! I can't wait to see how I look in a year.

Honestly... I take it all with a grain of salt. I am pretty sure that my 5' tall 199 lbs body will burn a ton more going 4 on the treadmill then a man who is 5'8" at 180 lbs. When I log in the 4 mph it says "walking briskly." I am so short that there is NO WAY for me to walk at 4mph. I think the calories on here are…

Check out some videos for yourself. GaiamTV has a ton of workout videos on it and you can preview them for free, check out the Walk Away the Pounds and other Vids. You can even sign up for the site free (for 10 days) and try out the workout videos to decide what you like. Don't forget to cancel before the 10 days though or…

I hope you get feeling better. I have some stomache issues and unfortunately I don't always keep my food down either. I just decided to write in what goes in my mouth and not fret so much if it comes back out. If you are sick don't spend extra energy worring about your weight loss. Your health is the most important thing…

Feel free to add me, I am always looking for support/modivation :smile:

If I stand really tall I hit 5' even... SW: 236lbs CW: 199lbs GW1: 130lbs I don't mind being a little pudgie... so 130 works for me.

So far there are two things I do. The first is have a POA (Plan of Attack). I knew this weekend I was going to go to a birthday party then out to eat on Saturday, so I got up and did 45 mins of circuit training. You have no idea how good it felt to eat that red velvet birthday cupcake with cream cheese frosting and not…

It sounds like you are still losing. As you lose more you will have periods where it doesn't lose as quickly as before. I would say give it time. You can always try changing your goals and seeing what that does, but don't get to frustrated. You are doing great, don't get down if you don't get a big loss, even small losses…

I would record it, my biggest goal on here is just to be honest with myself. If you record it and keep at it just think how awesome your weight loss next week will be!

Greetings! Sounds like you have been doing good. Feel free to add me and I will help keep you modivated.

Hi!! Glad you introduced yourself. Feel free to add me, I started at about 100lbs to lose. Keep up the good work, I am sure it will start to show.

bump, great ideas!

Looking great!

That is awesome! I love it when the clothes fit better.

LMAO :laugh:

lol, I keep saying I am not a geek... but I know exactly what you were talking about!!

I am not from NJ but my BFF is... still, I can help keep you motivated. Add me, if you like :) (anyone that needs a friend feel free to add me)

I love to run, I am finally getting back to where I can run a bit. Nothing better then feeling the wind whip through your hair as you run outside :).
