I love medieval festivals!!! Step 1, you find the turkey leg booth, step 2, you get you money out and put your wallet away so you have 2 free hands, step 3, you buy and consume 2 turkey legs.

Suns out guns out bro! I'm on this journey for the same reason!!! Lol

I went bungee jumping. I could have done it at a higher weight, but now I feel fearless!

Hahaha!!! Same thing here, right about the time I stopped Zoloft I started my journey.

A tip that has helped me so much is: turn off your phone at the gym. Mine is completely off, not just on silent. That is my time, I don't care about work, texting, Facebook, etc. also no way to check the time :) I'm there until I'm done, not a predetermined amount of time. If it is a 100% life or death emergency and my…

I saw a YouTube video of a guys transformation. He talked about how much his life has improved, felt way better, looked way better. I wanted that. I looked at my 286 lb self and said this is not ok, you need to fix this. The next day I started this journey...it has been 10 months, 93 lbs, and a whole lot of ups and downs.…

Change out "excercise" and say: "how can I possibly fit in feeling better about myself and improving the length and quality of my life?" Now ask yourself that, if you still can't fit it in I don't know what else to tell you.

I don't check in at the gym, I don't post pictures of my food, I don't post about my journey. Friends that really want to know I speak with about it. It's not something I advertise all over. Plus it was really funny the other day, I saw an old friend and we talked a bit and he was like "you lost weight!" I was like "oh,…

I have also wanted to go to a waterpark. What has held me back isn't the rides really, but the fact that I would be shirtless. Next summer I will be able to do it :) I would go right now if it wasn't so cold haha. Because, my body is far from perfect, but I worked so damn hard on it that I should be able to be proud of it…

I started driving to meet friends, then I explain to them that I'm driving so I'm not going to drink. They understand, and anyone who is a friend sure as hell wouldn't let you drink and drive. :)

If you eat over your calories it could make you gain. If you don't, you will not. Same with anything :)

Try reusable containers that you could wash. I personally don't believe in "going green" but their are tons of good ways to do it. I know someone who washes and uses ziplock bags more than once.

I used to know some people like that. Turns out when they age it catches up to them. My older sister is a great example of this. She used to eat a lot and never gain weight, she continued her eating habits and is now overweight with no real other changes to her diet or exercise routine. Just got older.

All I know is it can't help lol, might not hurt tho. I used to do it in my teens. Haven't smoked in probably around 5 years. I had to get a real job. To be completely honest tho, most people I know who still do it are lazy. (It may not be true for all, or even the majority) but the ones I knew and used to do it with have…

Honestly, if you can't afford to eat. Literally. Like you don't pay for an cell phone, Internet, cable tv, alcohol, cigarettes or anything else that isn't a necessity. And you still can't afford to feed yourself, you WILL qualify, no if, ands, or buts about it. And if that is a true statement for anyone they should and…

I'm a welder. Blue collar country boy right here :) haha

You'd be amazed at how much "extra" money I have since I started getting healthier. No booze (50 bucks a week prolly at the bar) no cigarettes (prolly another 25 a week) no fast food/eating out (I'd say at least 50 more.) also I eat a ton of meat, in California we produce a lot of chicken/dairy/beef. So it's not very…

This^ if I don't feel sore I feel as though I had a very bad lifting session. It actually annoys me if I'm not really sore the next day

You plan your day around your gym session lol, when to eat, when to go in to work etc.

Protein powder,Greek yogurt, peanut butter, wheat bread, and a bunch of healthy choice frozen meals.... (I know what your thinking, and yes I am a single guy living by himself haha)

I'll take a tank :)

My sister had that same issue, turned out she wasn't getting enough protein in her diet. Maybe check that too. (Now she's fine, upped her protein and isn't having the issue anymore)

Ghost brad for the loss...alright let me go to the bank...lol

I hope that ghost brad can smash an iPhone....

It's true!!! I knew it wasn't my diet of fast food and soda!!!! Off to McDonald's, but whatever you do avoid the produce section of the grocery store, that place makes you fat!!!!

My nephew told me I was fat. Now he says I have a small belly lol.

My doctor said "your blood pressure is really high and if you don't get it down we may need to put you on medication." I said, "what can I do?" He said "lose weight, eat better, quit drinking and smoking." I did all of those and now have normal blood pressure and will not have to take a pill everyday. ::sarcasm:: how dare…

Also in modesto

Haha you made me lol! I think (and I may be wrong) that the premise behind it is that 90% of people weigh in the morning and if you don't have anything to eat for several hours that you will weigh less, which is true. However what they are not taking into account is that your not actually losing weight doing this, just…

I would be very happy to know this as well. I'm 6'1, 193 lbs and 14.6% bf. I would really like to get under 12. Also, I lift heavy 5 days a week and get my cardio outdoors by riding my bike to work and around town. I currently eat 2120 cals a day and my macros are set at 35/35/30.
