Yes I get this. I could never give up pop. But when I gave up regular and diet I was able to. I can't back it with science but my body seems to treat artificial sweetener the same as sugar. I personally do better limiting both.

I cook mine in water and add 1 tbs organic peanut butter, 1 tbs ground flax seed, 1 tbs pure Vermont maple syrup. The heat of the oats melts the peanut butter, stir for a little piece of heaven.

Congratulations, that is an incredible accomplishment.

He has a point!

I'm sure that is true. But if you are doing lifestyle things that suppress it further that doesn't help. So to the degree I can I'm trying to get the suppressor s out of my diet and environment. See where my natural potential is before I seek medical intervention.

New balance has a program called good form running, that plus good shoes, a gym boss timer, and c25k will get you moving

Congratulations

I'm seeing a nutritionist, complained of fatigue, low libido... She gave me some supplements and changed my diet. That has helped a lot. I don't have the blood tests to prove it but feel my testosterone is up. Also a lot of chemicals and commercially produced food is supposed to be estrogenic, not sure I'm 100 percent on…

Walking lunges, shoulder bridge. Save the cash for something sexy!

Beard?

I had to give up pop and candy for health. I is easier to do the impossible then you think. Cut those binge foods out, think of them as rat poison. Good luck!

Awesome

Great work, stay the course, be patient

CRAIG SMASH

Yes, some is my confidence thanks to my MFP friends. But I'm frequently shocked at how aggressive the ladies are.

Awesome win

Not really exercise but skeleton would be awesome.

I'm not a fan, but it is your body you should be happy with it.

I just tell myself I can do it for today, or even this meal. Then the next, then the next one day at a time.

You look like you could be your own daughter. Congratulations.

Just wear your official Royal Order Hat. It makes everything more fun!

On potatoes baked or boiled, use sweet potatoes if you like them, red skins if you want the real thing. I avoid bread so no help there, on Mac and cheese I'd stick with your favorite recipe and use portion control.

Smoking Hot

Mine was 54.2 a year ago now under 30.

Congratulations Mark. Wear it with pride. You have done a wonderful job. Love your example and encouragement. All Hail the Hat! :))))

You may have to lift differently, but I wouldn't give up your lifting. Lunges, core work step ups all help prevent injury from running.

You can totally do this. I'd rather come to Atlanta for your "I hit goal weight party" I'll even pay my own way.

You look fantastic, congratulations.
