I have "Fall To Pieces" by Velvet Revolver stuck in my head as I type this.

I'll take it a step further than that: I had friends who were posting Cardio Trainer and Endomondo workouts so much, that I went out and dropped $400 on a mountain bike and started tracking my own workouts. Then, once I saw a couple people post about MFP on Facebook I downloaded the app on my phone and started using this…

I have a 24 hour Kroger 5 minutes from me that I go to most of the time and I have a Meijer that I drive by on my way home from work that is only about 7 miles away.

If you look at my diary, I've been over my calorie goal almost everyday since this past Friday. (Church festival, Knights of Columbus BBQ, night out with the guys, etc...etc...) Just out of curiosity I stepped on the scale this morning and out of all that "bad eating", I had only gained one half of a pound since Friday. My…

I have a few on my list. Right now I'm head over heels for Carrie Underwood. A while back I had a huge crush on Sarah Michelle Gellar. When I was a kid in Jr High, I was crazy over Staci Keanan (the girl from My Two Dads) The rest of my list is Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Bell and Courtney Thorne Smith.

When I grew a goatee a few years ago, I had this girl at a party telling me all night that I looked like Stephen Dorff (He played Deacon Frost from Blade). Other than that, I usually don't hear many celebrity comparisons.

I also hit the 20 pound mark this morning. Feels good doesn't it?

Good song. I like it too!

It has really helped me make better decisions from meal to meal. I used to go home and fix up two sandwiches with lunch meat and cheese for dinner thinking it was helping but now I haven't bought lunch meat in months. Also....knowing what my limit is each day gives me something to think about before I eat something I…

Oh.....and make use of the volleyball court, horseshoe pits, pond/pool....etc to burn some of it off after dinner.

Just came home from one of those. It's not easy let me tell ya! I tried to take very small portions of everything that I liked when I filled my plate rather than get heaping amounts.....and go back for more of the stuff I couldn't fit on the plate. LOL I still ate WAY more than normal but probably not as much as I used to.…

Nu-wave oven! No joke, it does pretty well with this problem. I grabbed one a year ago at an after Christmas sale and was pleasantly surprised that it lives up to the infomercial hype.

I just discussed this very thing with my doctor last week: My total was 183 and my HDL was very similar to yours at 34. LDL = 115 Triglycerides = 171. My cholesterol was also checked in December of 2010: Total = 179 HDL = 34 LDL = 100 Triglycerides were 225! ***She suggested adding fish oil capsules and trying to include…

This doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as the people who pull away and leave their shopping cart right smack dab in the middle of a parking spot instead of walking 30 feet (most of the time) to put it in one of those cart racks. THAT is the absolute epitome of lazy in my opinion.

This reminds me of a movie I once saw many years ago..........Cinderella. Seriously, if they are that hateful and catty towards you it's the 1st thing I thought of. I would decline invitations from them in the future and make it known exactly WHY you don't want to be around them.

I buy Powerade Zero in the 32oz bottles quite a bit also.....but I use it for the bottle as much as anything. I take one to work with me every Monday and once it's gone, I save the bottle and keep filling it with water the rest of the week. Then I take it home Friday after work and fill it one more time with water and…

What I like about it is that you can get a decent workout in without it being too time consuming. There are workouts that would probably gain results a little quicker but more often then not, you need an hour's time to do them. If you are patient with the Total Gym and stick with it, you'll notice the difference over time.…

Carrie Underwood. A girl that pretty and sweet AND she can sing too?

I have a friend at work who was around 285 about 2 years ago. He didn't use this site but he did just about everything this site promotes (keeping close track of what you eat and how much activity you're getting) and lost about 110 pounds by last summer. All of us who work with him everyday did notice the weight loss over…

^^^This^^^ I wouldn't worry too much about sugar from fruit. It will definitely cause you to go WAY over everyday on here but if that's where most of your sugar comes from you're doing good.

Wow! You look happy in both pictures but you look like a totally different person now!
