I used to weigh 240. It was crazy how much weight I carried around. Now I call >175 my "jiggle zone". If I'm 175 or under, I feel pretty lean. 165-170 is the sweet spot. But 176 & up, I can feel my man boobs / love handles jiggle. My wife thinks it's in my head, but it's the truth!

Stick around. Ask questions. Try to take a 1/2 hr walk every day. Enter your stats into the tracker, and try your best to log everything. I know it seems overwhelming at first; it does take some time to get used to it. But it works.

Welcome aboard! It's kinda addicting...you know, like crack

It's Friday. FIFY

lol. the salad I was going to have yesterday turned into half a huge cookie, 3 handfuls of dark chocolate covered caramel corn and a vat of chips & salsa. That's a neat trick.

Outstanding! Word of warning: Everyone's different, but when I was still trying to quit, I hit 6 months twice...and I was hammered within a week. Both times!
-
Pardon my french, but that's f*cking awesome!

Gettin in on the 1,000th page! I confess that I always seem to eat more on my workout "day off" - no matter how good my intentions are in the morning...
-
I'm 3+ years sober now, so I can joke about it...but in my prime, my booze tolerance was pretty ridiculous!
-
Me too. When I was heavy, it would be beer, diet soda, Long Islands, coffee, Beam & diet...4 or 5 at a sitting. Now I order the same thing at every restaurant - water with lime. No problem drinking 4 or 5 of those!

It is pretty awesome. I get a Boboli whole wheat crust, the "sauce" is refried black beans with salsa mixed in, the meat is Jennie-o Taco seasoned turkey, and then top it with 2% mexican blend cheese, green onions, tomatoes, bell peppers & jalapenos. Once it's done, I top each slice with a tsp of guac & nonfat plain greek…

Success! Thanks

Genius. Seriously.

Stupid site still isn't showing my new avatar. (Just an updated bicep vanity shot, but still!)
-
Mathematically, that'll work. Sometimes I skip lunch so I can have a big dinner. BUT it's a lot better to heave your intake spread out over the day & keep you metabolism humming throughout. But if I'm having taco pizza for dinner, then dammit, it's water & Diet Mt. Dew all day!

If you're just starting out, don't even worry about sodium. Just focus on calories.

Hmm. Just a meme I found on google. No issues viewing here at my office. Sorry!

I confess that I'm pretty irritated that I took a new profile pic 3 days ago & it still isn't showing up as my avatar....anyone know if I'm missing a setting or something? I already made it my "main" pic.

422 new? Wow, looks like we strayed into the Neutral Zone there for awhile... The above retty much sums it up! Well done, Susieq. This is the only thread I post in (besides a 100% challenge that I run) for basically the exact reasons stated above. (Love the bolded part.)

Speaking of stupid decisions, I confess that when I was 20 (way back in 1989...YIKES), I was living on my own for the first time. Cut all my rocker hair off & was bummed how fat I looked. I then went on a crash diet that consisted of the following: Breakfast: Can of Diet Coke Morning Snack: Can of Diet Coke Lunch: Turkey…

I didn't watch it initially & just thought it sounded idiotic. Then I watched Season 4 for the reasons you described above, got hooked & have watched every season since. So funny that what happens on the feeds & the network show are 2 very different versions of the same chain of events, hah. Can't decide if I want to keep…
-
Huh. Not sure what happened to my avatar - I uploaded a new pic & made it my main, but it just shows the ghost.

Interesting that there is a pro poker player in the house this year (Vanessa Rousso.) She's a good pro (big poker fan here) & has awesome people reading skills...but if she gets recognized (a distinct possibility) then she's probably toast.

I confess I now have 50% more stupid after venturing out to read a couple of other threads around here

All these TV confessions are making me fess up: My wife & I love Big Brother. We love to hate the hateable ones, root for the underdogs, love the cheesy challenges & also love it when they are clueless that they are broadcast 24/7 and just spout the most ignorant crap. Young fools thinking they know everything & getting a…
-
Wow. Not judging at all, but: By choice? I hope you switch hands once in awhile..!
-
Truth. Good thing is it was step 3 of 5 towards an important designation, AND covered 20 of the 24 hr CE requirement. (Well, "good thing" kind of hinges on whether or not I passed, lol) Thanks for the congrats. I still view work clothes as a "uniform" - I'm a T shirt, jeans & flip flops guy outside of the office. I have…

Back in the office after that mind-numbing continuing ed seminar. Ugh. Think I passed the test though; we'll see in about 3-4 weeks. (Really? It's 2015, and we're still waiting WEEKS for test results? Whatevs.) My confession is my wife dragged me to the store for a wardrobe upgrade on Saturday...and I enjoyed every minute…

Reading comprehension. Give it a try.
