I guess I should be fair and add, because I was heavily slacking the last couple of weeks... STARTING WEIGHT: 206.5 CURRENT WEIGHT: 208.5 (booo two lbs!) CARDIO: 55 minutes CRUNCHES: 150 PUSH-UPS: 45

I'm going to go ahead and think that it's a combination of having eaten too soon before my workout, because it was definitely less than an hour before I went (big meal, too) and also having pushed myself too hard. I wasn't certain of the food thing though, so I'm glad someone's given me some info on that. :-) Although I…

I'm in the same boat as you. I just spent the last couple of weeks pretty much binge eating with no help in sight, BUT, this morning I got back out there and went for a jog. :-) It didn't last long, but it's nice to know I'm doing SOMEthing. In the long run, it'll help me before it'll hurt me, I feel.

I've been really very off track the entire time doing this, but I've been trying to keep up at least with the week 2 portion, getting all my water. It's been helping a lot. I am only so fortunate that I haven't been gaining, although I haven't really been exercising either. But, I'm about to head out for a jog now, because…

Okay, so... here's the deal. Basically, when I started this site like a month ago, I was ecstatic. I lost five lbs in the first two weeks. And that was all fine; I was exercising and actually feeling a sort of improvement overall. Aaaanyway... May 1st comes around, and I'm moving, and I have no internet for a bit, and I…

I've been havin' no trouble keeping up with water so far. It's finding time to exercise that I've been having a problem with. Haha.

I usually consume quite a bit of water in a day. So this should be good. Unfortunately I missed the first week, but I'm gonna start up now. :-) Better late than never.

Haha. Don't feel bad... I pretty much missed the first week entirely. Stupid moving!

Bah, damn! I had signed up to do this challenge, but I was also moving into my new place on the 1st. I didn't know that moving would really deter me that much from my plans. I basically couldn't eat well or anything because of work, and the fact that I had no electricity. Haha. Oh well. I'm going to get back on track now,…

I have a pretty bad weakness for fast food in general. Haha. I actually cheated yesterday and had double quarter pounder with cheese and a medium fries... I was treating my sister to food because she hadn't eaten all day. But man, it took me like 80 grams of fat over, like 800 calories over, and it was SO not worth it. Of…

Haha. My city was practically founded on beer, so there are quiiiite a few around here. Brew pubs, that is. But man, you lost like 95 lbs. I think you're entitled to a beer or two. Lol.

Um. This sounds freakin' awesome. Hahaha. As a fan of cheese and mushrooms, yeah. Goooonna have to look into this.

Wow. That's wicked! In just three months, too. That really gives me hope. It's people like you who are the reason I come on here; it gives me hope. Knowing that you lost that. That's exactly what I'm trying to do; lose 30 lbs. Good job! You could really see the difference in your face.

Sometimes families don't quite get it, ESPECIALLY parents. They're the worst for it! Haha. And even worse, they often don't know how to voice their concerns without insulting you. For example, my mom about a year ago told me when I came home to visit for Easter that I "looked disgusting" and had gained too much weight, and…

Gettin' close! Haha. My goal... well, from this, I would love to weigh 200 lbs by the end of it. I'm hovering around 209 right now, so it might be ambitious of me. But if I can do it, that'd be awesome! I'll be happy with any weight loss though. I just kinda hit a slump the last few days because I was in limbo, living at…

Wow, congratulations! I'm definitely jealous. Even though I'm a dude and I know we have different body types. Haha. But yeah, good job! That's wicked. I hope I can get there someday.

Thanks for the all the advice, guys! And yeah, I don't think I have to worry about genetics. Both my parents are kinda big, but my sister and none of my brothers are (and my parents used to be quite small themselves once upon a time), so I'm thinking it could possibly be a diet thing. It's so hard to fight those sugars and…

Yeah, spandex looks awkward on guys... I can understand them wearing it underneath shorts. Tons of guys I know do it, especially people on my old high school's rugby team. But when I see a guy running wearing just the spandex, it's... awkward. Haha. It's like putting yourself on display. I'd feel too uncomfortable.

I have a pair of Nike Shox and a pair of Nike Airs. The Nike Airs feel way more comfortable than the Shox by far; I don't know why. Funny thing is that the material is starting to shred out of the Airs because I've had them for so long. I am currently looking to get something new, just because of the uncomfortableness of…

So, I went shopping for clothes today, feeling good about myself and the weather's been pretty nice lately. I was at American Eagle trying on some shorts, which fit nicely, and then two shirts that were a little snug but they fit, however... I seem to have the unfortunate "muffin top", where my love handles/stomach fat…

Okay, so, this is probably lame, but I was so ecstatic. I've been around 214 lbs for the last like month now, and I just started this site last week and I've been so dedicated, and I've been honest in logging in my stuff, and I've been exercising (my leg and ab muscles are still sore!). And I hopped on the scale to see…

I kept on seeing people talk about this, so I decided to head out and find some of this stuff... and I've fallen in loooooove! The unfortunate thing though is there doesn't seem to be very much selection in the types. So far I've only found original, light original, and garlic and herbs. But no swiss, light swiss, or light…

Um, that looks really freakin' awesome, and I am stoked to make that whenever I acquire the ingredients. Lol.

I would just like to report that I cooked this tonight, and it was awesome, so definitely recommendable! I had it with white pasta. :-)

I'm going to make this tonight for my supper! It has just enough calories to finish me off for the day, and it sound deeeeelicious! I'll let ya know how it goes.

Wow. Your story is actually really inspirational. It's things like this that make me wanna continue and not just give up. I'm really jealous! I don't know what sizes are like in girl jeans, but damn, I've been hovering in the 34-36 range for years, and I'm trying hard as hell to get below 34 or at least to fit comfortable…

Well, I've already made a couple posts elsewhere, but I guess I just figured I should at least say hi... haha. My name's Joe, I'm 21, a student, and I work as a coffee shop barista. I weigh in at the 210-215 range, an area I'm not comfortable being in, and worry about even surpassing most days. I don't by any means feel I…

I wish I had the clock to go to sleep early and wake up early. I also find that I tend to snack more if I'm up late, for example, it's 4:00 am right now, and I just had a cupcake... haha. I don't know why I stay up late, because oddly enough when I go to sleep early and get up early, I feel excellent, well-rested,…

I'm sure this question has been asked before. And I'm sorry if this was the wrong place! Still getting used to all this. Here's my situation. I'm a late-night guy. Even if I woke up at 6 in the morning, I'll probably still be up until around 3:00 or 4:00 in the following morning. It's a bad habit of mine. But my question…

I just joined this site too last week, and I'm intrigued at this. I think I'll participate as well. :-)
