Can you get access to an elliptical machine?

Icook dinner or breakfast a couple times a week, and usually I will do dishes because my wife says I am anal. She is so lucky, haha.

On Jan 1st I weighed 253lbs, joined mpf on 12 Jan 12. Since then I lost 31 lbs and went from 42 to just under a 38 waist. Feel great, eating healthy and hitting gym 5 days a week. Good luck and remember we are all different when it comes to losing weight. Don't be discouraged if you feel you are not getting similar results.

I agree with freezerburn. I have run a few and they do get better.Don't let this intimidate you, do some stretching and definitely eat. you will be fine in a couple of days.

I ran 4 marathons without the music. I trained with it. For me personally, I enjoy the high of the enviroment when running and taking in the sites. Iam not a speed demon so it wasn't a big deal.Of course that was nearly 20 yrs ago and 80 pounds lighter. Try running a few long runs without them and see how you feel.Either…

I guess I need to work out in the vicinity of the cardio area more!!

I love my quads because they are starting to get some definition.

I am here to get any bit of fitness advice I can. People like yourself have great knowledge that I can tap into and it has helped. So, thanks for the info you and others like you provide.

thanks a lot, it gets expensive and disheartening to have to toss them into le gabage.

good for you for standing your ground. I admire all the people in the gym because They Are There. When I first startedworking with free weights I would get the stares because I wasn't lifting much weight.I just told myself" Screw you" because I pay my memebership like everyone else. But honestly, most the people are good…

HI, I would suggest you definitely eat more proteins and veggies, but Eat More..If you are working out and not eating back some of those calories, you won't be able to sustain a good routine for long. You need the fuel(calories) to keep the body going. The protein and veggies wil have to fill you up with god calories, not…

I climbed Mt. Fuji four weekends in a row when I was in the Corps. Extremely moving in every way imaginable. Someday, I want to do it again!

You look fantastic and I am sure your husband is proud of you. Great commitment and excellant motivating story. Way to go!!!

the weight loss seems about right. How do you feel though? Are you feeling good or weak? If not weak, I would say stay where you are, it seems to be working. Good luck!!

slow and steady wins the race. It sounds like you are starting off on the right track, good luck and feel free to add me as a friend if you need support. You can read my profile to find out more about me. My name is Norman.

are you eating enough protein? sometimes you can eat, but you want those filler foods, such as protein or fibers.

that's outstanding, keep up the great work!

Sounds to me like he only wants the benefits part. Move on and get someone who will treat you better. You deserve it!!

Hell no, i love my wife and she loves me.we have both seen each other at our worst. I intend to grow old and sit on the porch drinking coffee when we both fall apart. Wouldn't want it any other way!! Don't get me wrong. I still love to look at pretty women, but that's only the surface. With my wife I have the full package,…

initially, just get moving and over time your wind and strength will increase. Try doing a 30 second brisk walk then slow down for a minute and repeat for as long as you can. The slowing down after each brisk session will help you recover better when you are finished. You will still be sore but not as badly as if you just…

My wife and I have been married 27 yrs. I say be honest and talk and actually listen to each other.I still tell my wife I love her after every phone call and every time I leave the house. We survived 20 yrs of military life and a lot of deployments. Never take each other for granted!! Best of luck!!

you need more fruits and veggies, also how far apart are your snacks between meals? Lastly, I only went back a week, but I don't see any water intake, are you drinking enough? Hope this helps you out.

Canadiens fan living in Bruins territory!! Go Habs!!!

nice job and great idea putting visuals to the weight. Love the creativity. It puts things into a realistic perspective. Great job also on your accomplishment.

Congratulations, great job and i am happy for you, even though I don't know you. Stick with it!!

I am always looking to add friends so if you want to add me. feel free to do so. I am on site everyday and try to be honest and encouraging, but honest nonetheless. Good luck to you all!

WOW!!!
