It'd be nice to see that 190 goal at the end of oct! 5.8 lbs to go...might be able to get it, then maybe go down a little more before my birthday in the middle of December, but I'm actually pretty happy right here at 195 as well, so if not its no big deal :) Also for the person above me: you can do it man!!!! I started at…

I really wish I had started younger than right after my 25th birthday. On my 26th I will be a whole new me :)

Good ideas there! I recently upped my cals and had no idea what to do, after a few days playing around with my cals/macros I know exactly what to eat everyday to get to where I want to be.

Will run it tomarrow am, had softball tonight and got home late. It's about a mile and a half further than my usual morning run. :)

Bad news. I've never done it, but I have herd enough to say stay away from it, if possible get your loved ones to stop. It is very, very, unhealthy. I would bet my next years pay that you will end up larger than you are right now within 3 months of stopping hcg. Bad news. If your still not sure, ask your doctor....he will…

I get that from some people too. They tell me to stop, I go harder. They tell me to give up, I say I'll never quit. Haters are fun, because everytime I see them, I look even better and it kills them

I never say anythings impossible, but I highly doubt that I will want to get married in the next 10 years at least. If at all. Just not my thing....I'm open to semi-long term relationships but other than that I don't want to feel trapped or forced to be with someone. The exact reason I won't buy a house with them or…

Eat before bed then :) I do, and have for over 90 lbs lost....if it was diet killer I'd tell you lol

About a week ago a homeless man said "your dumb" as I escorted him off the property as per my night job. And then I realized something....people now don't have the "your fat" comment to go to anymore :) lol

I go to planet fitness in Modesto California

I choose healthy options to eat, and I drive there and tell them that I don't want to drink and drive. Any friend would respect you choice to not endanger your life and the lives of others :)

Musts: Must do some type of training (lifting,running,yoga, etc.) it really doesn't matter what, it just such a big part of my life and what I enjoy talking about with others that I don't think we'd begin it off if she did nothing. Must have a job. Don't want someone living with their patents getting an allowance. Must…

I don't know if my heart was ever in danger, but my blood pressure has gone from high to normal and I had a chest scan done of my heart and lungs a few months ago and they said everything looked great, dispite me being a pack a day smoker for 10 years. :) best nsv ever. Trust me, if being very overweight (at times obese)…

Yes!!! I buy the huge liter like one lol. And it's not bad for you too, I find most hot sauses are really low cal actually.

The gym is my escape! When I'm finished with work and school I go there, I set no time limit of when I have to leave....I turn off my phone (not just silent, all the way off) and just relax by lifting lol I get at least 50 work calls a day....or emails or whatever on my own time. So it is totally awesome that for my gym…

Usually a little over an hour....but I do 90 second rests between sets.

Mfp's advice has worked for me :) I tweaked my macros a bit, other than that it's exactly what they gave me. All those calculaters (like mfp) are a guess. Unless you've actully been tested in a lab then your guessing :) lol

They're probably some out there on the web but I wouldn't give it a second look as weight loss is not linear. You would have the same results as if you just calculated how much you lost a week x the number of weeks out your trying to look at. But do remember that it will not be very accurate.

Depends on what you do....cardio is fine everyday. But if you do strangth training as well some rest days would be good.

I used to do it with a bottle of Jamison....last time I went to the gym and just lifted....lifted hard.....then tanned, got my hair cut, shaved....and picked myself up.....hopefully you feel better :(

It's true....I regret it so much!!!!!! I have some, but they're just regular pictures. Not a full on in my boxers before pic.....I wish I had taken one....I couldn't stand the sight of it, so I just didn't do it....I wish I had just taken one and not looked at it.

I have a brother, who used to be very athletic and strong. He gained about 20 lbs but still wasn't big by any means. He saw me start to get closer and closer to his weight ( at the time) and started working out himself lol!!! He's lost about 25 and I weigh about 3 lbs more than him right now. He has become so encouraging,…

Ah, the old burner phone....it's a very wise move. I have a cheap, prepaid phone that I use exclusively to give that number to girls that I may or may not ever hear from. If they are crazy, I change that number and they don't have my real one I use for work and other stuff. If we start dating, i simply text them from my…

Show him this site. If your cals and macros are good you can eat whatever you like (including gravy lol) maybe that would appeal to him? I also agree with an above poster, he is trying, but nit picking him over a can of soup is only going to cause bad things. If its working for him (you said he has lost a good amount of…

I don't post pics of my dinner or check in at the gym, or post about workouts etc. because it really can rub some people the wrong way I've herd. So I text about workouts, adding weight to the bar, losing weight etc. with friends who share my love for fitness. Others might just not want to hear about it

Very true!!!!

Why not do those things and stay in your range? Tailgate? Awesome I brought some boneless skinless chicken breats to throw on the grill with some corn or shrimp skewers!!!! (did that last weekend, stayed In my cals and worked out in the morning before the game too) family cookout? Well there may be some foods you can't…

Love the mid section!!!!!! That's amazing!!!!!! I can tell you lift hard!!!!! I'm so inspired I want to go lift right now!!!!

Agreed! I eat way more than I should once every few weeks and it's fine. On Monday I had 5 slices of pizza while watching football. It didn't hurt me at all, in fact I weigh less today than I did at the beginning of that day :)

Thanksgiving is def. going to be he a double workout and cheat day lol. How am I not going to eat my mommas homemade stuffing mashed potatoes and turkey (and yes, I like the dark meat, with the skin too lol. I always reserve a leg, luckly for me most of my family likes white meat lol) I'm not going to not have thanksgiving…
