We've all been there, the "doing a little is better than doing nothing." And it is. But, if you want to see results, you have to eat at a deficit. And the only way to know if you're eating at a deficit, is to track everything. I've been doing this for years, and it took me a couple years to get it right - in fact, I didn't…

I hope that's because you killed him 4.5 years ago...!

Some guys can. I'm not one of them, unfortunately! Being fit & trim, I am the freak in my family...everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is overweight. My younger brother looks like John Candy. If I stop watching it & stop exercising I can put on 5 lbs in 10 days, no problem. It's a main focus of my life to stay fit & trim, and…

Wow, 100 new posts! You guys be crazy... Today's confession: It REALLY p*sses me off that you can't outwork a bad diet. The last month, I've been logging everything as usual, breakfast, lunches & snacks have been on point, but after analyzing the data, noticed my avg cals per day have been quite a bit higher. Exercise burn…

Today's confession is that I got pretty judgy in a couple of other threads yesterday. Sorry if I offended anyone, but there are a couple of whiny excuse factories on here that drive me nuts! (oops...did I just judge in the "no-judgment" thread?)

I tried Atkins & Nutrisystem (2 of the the "magic pills" of weight loss.) Lost a little & gained a ton back when I stopped dieting. Only by tracking everything, exercising regularly & eating at a deficit helped me lose weight & keep it off. You know, just like those *ssholes online had been telling me to. For years.

Hmm. Try this one?

OK, fine! Here's Shiva, my little goddess. Yes, she's awesome!

Wow, you guys are very forgiving. I might not wake up the next day if I forgot!

Like most new skills, such as learning Spanish, learning to play the guitar, or learning how to swing a golf club....practice makes perfect. Just stick with it, eventually you'll get the hang of it & pretty soon you'll be impressing yourself!

My wife had a cat, Oscar, when we first met. He eventually became Mr. B. The evolution: Oscar Oscar M'Loshcr Bar M'Losh Osh Osh Kosh B'Gosh B'Gosh B, and finally Mr. B. My wife's favorite (of our 2) cat is named Moxie. She's getting chubby, so I started calling her Maxi, and then Maximum....now she's M.L. (or Maximum Load)…

This is Shiva...my little munchkin

Everyone is different, but at some point you gotta decide what your "bottom" is. I kept thinking I hit my bottom, but it was more like I was slowly falling down a granite staircase...each bottom was a little lower than the previous one, lol. I've been pretty open around here about quitting drinking 3 1/2 years ago. Like…

Back in the mad-pad days of my early 20s (6 guys living in a 2 bedroom apt), we had this roommate who would buy a 2 liter of Coke and put it in the fridge, only to have it downed by roommates when he wasn't there. (not me, a couple of broke guys would.) After a month or so of this, one day he came home with a 2 liter &…

A company rep just stopped by the office with Breakfast Burritos from Santiago's. They are the best breakfast burritos in town. I want to go in there and stab him in the eye with a fork

Too many to quote, but re: kids My wife & I have been together for almost 23 years, half of our lives. We knew early on that we didn't want kids, and don't regret it at all. We are firmly in the "Have kids if you want to, not because you're supposed to." We have had many 4 legged kids & they have enriched our lives…

No worries - I just have a huge problem with lo-carb/Atkins, as I tried it once. Dropped about 30lbs, but it was completely unsustainable & I was even heavier when it was all said & done! There's only one solution, CICO blah blah blah and so on and so forth

I quite enjoyed this while eating my whole-wheat crust pizza and will read it again while eating my fat free Dreyers yogurt blend ice cream. And post a loss at tomorrow's weigh in.

Haha. Personally, I echo what LBuehrle said above - they're not for me, but I've seen tons of cool ones. No judgment here!

I confess that I like what Ron White says about tattoos: "Tattoos are permanent stupidity bruises."

This weekend I met a buddy for golf. Haven't seen each other since last September. I was about 168 then, I'm up a little to around 175 now. He just casually said "You're still on the health kick? How much do you weigh now? You were really trim last summer." I confess that I can't believe how much that bugged me! I am now…

Sorry to hear that. RIP - always a tough one.

Before I quit drinking a few years ago, I would log all my booze. It's scary how many times I would skip lunch to make sure I could fit my 3-4 cocktails in at night and still hit my marks!

Been watching the "dadbod" convo with interest. I'll admit I outkicked my coverage with my wife. Pretty much the ideal woman I dreamed about as a teenager. She's always been slim, and while I was fit when we met & throughout my 20s, I spent my 30s getting fat & drinking lots of beer. At my heaviest, when I would meet her…

*high five*

I was sick over the weekend, and since I knew I wouldn't be able to work out, I decided to buy a 1/2 gal of Dreyers S'Mores ice cream, and have that for lunch & dinner on Sunday. And then yesterday, as if I was in a Nyquil-fueled dream, I watched myself stop at the store on the way home from work and bought another half…

I had the greatest black lab ever. He lived to 15, and he was one of the smartest dogs I've ever known. If he barked, you knew something was up. He was my best buddy. When he died in '07 it absolutely devastated me. I was a wreck. My confession is, I can't bring myself to get another dog. The reason being, although I've…

Excellent! Did you catch the Faith No More live broadcast on Yahoo on Friday? It's up on youtube now...they sounded fantastic (well, except for when they brought Chuck Mosely out for 'Mark Bowen' .. what a trainwreck.) We're going to take a trip to see them since they're not coming near Denver. Maybe Philly or Atlanta.

Update: sicker than I've been in awhile. my wife & hung out on the couch & binge watched Season 7 of Sons of Anarchy...*kitten* just hit the fan with Gemma, lol. NO SPOLIERS PLEASE
