Saturdays are my usual weigh in day but as I shall not be at home tomorrow, and cannot take my scales with me, I'm weighing in a day early. So: ainehanley9 - Agirlcandream - ashleysteiner - Atoriaz - bird_3_lee - bridgeydidge8 - Facecoach - fitmomma23 - GrumpyDebs - Hitsujikai - 4lbs lost (4lb down, 10 to go) icklekimmy -…

I cannot stand to watch Mark Wahlberg, my friends all tell me TED was fantastic but with MarkyMark as the male lead I cannot bare to watch it. Also, not an actor but M. Night Shyamalan needs to give up directing movies. His are all terrible.

A year and a half ago whilst sparring at my Kickboxing class, the instructor announced that we were going to spar against multiple attackers (3 on 1). Up until this point I would have said my sparring skills were nothing to write home about, I wouldn't win many but I didn't get punched in the face much either (boxing…

Yep, Living in Leeds.

Count me in too. My current weight is 249lb and I would like to be around the 230lb mark by the end of the year.

I'm currently burning 540-560 calories per 35 minute gym session on the treadmill. I have only just returned to the gym after a year out with a knee injury but I used to be doing double that before my accident.

I'm recovering from knee surgery and have been told, with the exception of physiotherapy, in no uncertain terms that I am not to exercise for fear of injuring myself again. I've lost 27lbs since I started watching what I eat again so I'm going to say that it is 100% possible to shift weight without exercise :smile:

I can't speak for everyone but I did. For 4 months I counted only the calories in my food and let the carbs, sugar, protein and everything else lie where they landed and I lost 4.5 stone. Since I stopped watching what I've been eating calorie wise and started going to the gym I've gained weight and whilst much of it is…

I've just gotten back from the gym. It was a cardio day today so I went on the treadmill and ran 5k (3 miles) in 28mins. The first time ever that I have managed to run this distance without slowing to a walk. I'm training for a 10k so tomorrows visit will be a mix of weights and cardio followed by a 6k run on Thursday and…

Hey Nattercan, hopefully this will help your husband to join in! I initially used MFP to open my eyes to the amount of rubbish I was putting in my body, quantify the 'damage' on a day to day basis and realise how far I would have to go to put things right. I currently use it to count calories, realise when I've gone over…

Day off for me, I've been to the gym every day this week so I feel that a rest day is on the cards. I also have to go to a meeting to organise a Yorkshire 3 peak challenge.

I need someone to prove wrong, even if it is myself! If someone tells me I can't do something I get fired up to prove them wrong and do it bigger, faster and with as much showing off as I can muster so that they know how well I'm getting on. On the flipside, the worst thing anyone can do is tell me I can do something, if I…

Welcome to the boards, there are quite a few guys dotted around here so you definately are not alone. You have a similar goal that I had, I started at 243lbs and lost 61lbs in the space of 4 months to get to my current weight of 182lbs. I'm starting the new challenge of maintaining my weight. Good luck and remember through…

Pic didnt work :( Too late to be messing around with it tonight, will try again tomorrow! EDIT: Fixed!

On the 27th of August 2010 I decided to check my BMI and found I was classed as obese, weighing in at 243lbs. Unfortunately for me I'm 6'3 and carried the weight all over my body rather than in a lump around my middle which meant that I didn't realise how big I had gotten. On the 28th I joined MFP and set out to get to…

Whilst I would agree with you that long term weight loss alone is not a viable and sustainable goal I would argue that both fitness and weight loss are not mutually exclusive. One will always lead to the other. Yes, by trying to get down from running a 12min mile to an 8min mile you will lose weight, but at the same time…

I just always bore in mind that if output (exercise) is greater than input (food) I would lose the weight. That way no food was off limits to me as long as I had earn't the right to eat them.

Whilst I agree with cheat days in principle I have seen first hand what happens with regular cheat days. A friend of mine used to eat quite well during the week and allow himself to 'cheat' on the weekends, this was a disaster for him as he completely undid all the good work he'd done throughout the week and he'd gain…

For me the motivation is to feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm a very warm person and I overheat very quickly when I'm exercising. I have to really consider how best to dissipate the excess heat in order to extend my workout. When I play football in the summer the other lads would just go shirtless to solve their own…

Woody Harrelson from Zombieland. He may eventually get me killed for the sake of a Twinkie but at least we'd have fun doing so!

Chuck Norris. They say that when Chuck Norris gets bitten by a Zombie, he doesn't turn into a Zombie. The Zombie turns into Chuck Norris!

I weighed 200lbs in high school, but I was also in pretty good shape. I now weight 184lbs having been up at 243lbs in August this year and nowhere near in as good a shape as I was back then, but I'm working on it.

There are quite a few Brits dotted around the message boards, I'm sure you'll bump into a few (like myself and andizoo) on your travels and we're just as supportive as our cousins from across the pond.

It's probably something to do with New Year and Chinese New Year being different, so all the Chinese takeaways are open and everyone else is too lazy or hungover to cook anything the day after New Years Eve lol

I know where you are coming from, I started running a few weeks ago and whilst I didn't look overweight (I carried the extra weight quite well I've been told) I still felt very self concious about running. Best thing to do is treat yourself to some new trainers, fill your mp3 player with your favourite songs and get out…

1) Die Hard 2) Lethal Weapon 3) Nightmare Before Christmas 4) Gremlins 5) Home Alone

Its a bit of both really. Guys are NOT allowed to compliment each other in the conventional way, everything has to be a backhanded compliment. A friend of mine recently asked me on a night out "What the f@*! happened to you?", I hadn't seen this friend in a long time and I've lost 56lbs since then but as a guy talking to a…

Congrats! and regarding your sig: THE CAKE IS A LIE!

I'm hoping to reach my goal of 185lbs (currently 187lbs) by Christmas Day and my goal for January is to maintain my goal weight and enjoy myself!
