you're incredibly cute. great job on all your hard work and dedication!

so you're drinking heavily, eating crappy after a night of drinking and wondering why you aren't losing weight? yes, i'd say it's the booze.

just listened to that today during my workout

mine has a special talent of taking a leak on any surface inside my house. lucky me, i know.

the only person recommending a knee brace is an orthopedic doctor. the wrong type of brace can do more damage than good.

two words...bike shorts. not the old spandexy kind. my biking, and the joy i found in it, drastically improved with my purchase of bike shorts. a bit pricey, but worth their money to not have a sore butt after. i think your cap is a little low also. if it is something you are serious about doing, stay away from the big box…

you can absolutely lose weight by walking, for me, especially in the beginning!

hold on...let me go get my 8 year old son!

before... just a few days ago... i just wrote a forum post about my year here on mfp, these pic's are from there...

are you crazy?!?!?! i am surprised you made it thru your yoga class. i have to eat very, very carefully the night before my morning classes. i cant imagine fried cheese and burbon! i'm impressed you made it thru...

me too!

"i used to live to eat, now i eat to live." i think those words are what have convinced me this is a lifestyle change and not a diet. that's how i know it is different this time. thanks for everyone's warm responses.

no, to both. my wife can eat anything and not seem to gain a pound, while i gain just by looking. while she eats healthily most of the time, she does have more treats than i do. there were plenty of night this past year where she and my son had fast food, and i had a turkey sandwich. i do most of the cooking, so usually…

"if you are skating on thin ice, you might as well dance." "who's in your mirror?"

thanks everyone. looking back on this past year really amazes me. the challenges, the highs, the lows, it's such a rollercoaster of a ride. i loved it, hated it and thought about quitting. but hang in there! we can all do this!

sorry for the big second pic, tried to resize it but it didn't work.

wow, man! awesome job! one of the best i've seen on here!

my last year was all about doing stuff i wasn't able to do two years ago... its awesome! don't give up. for me, it was just wanting to be more active. and being more social. there were so many things i pretended not to like b/c i wasn't sure if i could do them physically or not. and didn't want to find out that i couldn't…

just took two acro yoga classes. totally awesome. i loved it. so cool. good luck!

search "in place of a road map" on these forums. the info is thorough, but useful. it talks about tdee and all that stuff.

congrats on trying pizza! one of our summer time treats here is grilled pizza dough. no sauce or anything. dip it in salsa or whatever you like. i am almost certain i have logged that here without having to be too creative. then for the sauce, you should be able to eyeball a good estimate. seems like you have already…

awesome job! keep inspiring people! way to work hard and be committed!

love my polar ft4, but it is not something you would wear all day. comfy and easy to use. was a gift, but they are about 60 on amazon, 75 to 80 at local sporting goods store. i researched it pretty thoroughly before asking for it, and based on what i wanted out of it, it seemed like the right choice for me. check the polar…

i used to use a cpap machine. notice i said "used to."

i will sometimes get dizzy if i look down for a while. i have to remind myself to look forward. that usually helps me.

congrats! i've been slowly thinking about trying this program, but it seems like everytime i read about it, someone is telling me they had to stop b/c they got hurt. so i'm not sure. congrats on the accomplishment!

this. i have both an elliptical and treadmill. feel like i get so much more out of my elliptical workouts. and my knees are whack! so the elliptical is much better for me. i do enjoy the occasional walk on my treadmill, but usually increase the incline to boost the workout. purchased one from a neighbor who was moving and…

i burn 1160 calories in my 90 minute hot yoga class...according to my polar ft4. and i skip two of the poses.

take a day or two off. when my muscles are super sore i take an epsom salt bath and try to increase my water intake. stretch some today.

what a beautiful little girl.
