currently in the military but retiring in 2 weeks. Then oil fields in Alberta.

my wife says it makes me look homeless :sad:

looking at what I eat now at the 2000 to 2500 range. I would say between likely 5 to 6000 or more sometimes :embarassed:

2001 goldwing, 2004 Harley sportster, either my wifes 2004 Grand am or sons 2009 Jeep.

I have been "overweight " for a long time But seeing the words morbidly obese written down by a Dr. I knew I was no longer overweight or fat I was beyond that. Until then It was only other people that were obese I was just chubbyish. Thus I am here it was a wakeup call to change

retire from the military in 3 years and go work in the oil patch.

I'm the same. I eat what I want when I want, that way I don't crave it. I love ice cream and when I can have it any time I want because its in the freezer I forget its there. If I do have a rough day I just ensure I'm more dilligent for the next few days. If I'm going to have to watch what I eat for the rest of my life I…

Friday for sure and after pushing myself into injury a few times I rest any time I start to have a great deal of discomfort or pain. Particularly in a major joint (hip, knee) or my right shoulder (collarbone ectomy last spring)

eat lots of cheese....wait thats for something else. :embarassed: Sorry I'm out of ideas.

5 mins drive to the gym and 30 secs to the basement.

I get it quite often due to the intensity of my workouts. I ignore them BUT if you have any medical issues get them checked out first . If you have any pain or discomfort or breathing issues cut it back.

I use one as part of my warm up prior to interval training. The key is to keep your heart rate elevated and not to just move your legs. Its helped me thats all I can say.

I was in the same boat as you, although I got to the point I had to do up my pants and pull them up over my large......seat. Just take it one day at a time and don't get discouraged. You'll enjoy yourself on this site most people are rather entertaining and for a good laugh read the forums you never know where the crazies…

It's open feel free.

My brain is racing now. the circus music is gone.:explode:

Unless you're a 14 yo boy I find it highly over rated. I'd rather go to Olive Garden or Red Robin or 7-11.

Is there fries with that...

Growing up on the farm we ate things like tongue, heart etc. My grandparents being Scottish we would eat haggis on occaision and all those other kinds of wonderful dishes and meats......sense the sarcasm :sick:

Gotta love the Pinto and it's cousin the Bobcat.

1972 Ford Maverick with a big a** black hood scoop. I paid 250 dollars for it from my dad. The front end was so bad I had to put snow tires from the auto wreckers on the front because it ruined them so fast. My grandmother and I did the bodywork with fibreglass and resin and it was painted golden rod yellow. Also a member…

A shot of jack and a beer........mmmmm beer, nector of the gods :ohwell:

Then call him "Sir Poops a lot"

Are the police involved in anyway :devil:

The words "morbidly obese" written on a health form written by my Dr said a lot more to me than you need to loose weight. I just saw my self as fat or overweight.

Water...who drinks water? Wait I do.

I was 16 it was my very first date ever, first kiss and homeplate all in one night. It was the late 70"s after all.

I drink skim. I grew up with dairy cows so I got cooler milk, explains why I'm not a milk fan. Anyway, it tastes good with chocolate or Capt crunch...I mean Fibre 1 cereal :happy:

I rarely eat the prescribed number of calories because I like to leave a buffer due to possible inaccuraces in calories and contents.
