Heya Bionic Woman! I was referred here by vb4evr, who told me a little bit about you. I had my first cervical fusion in 2007 and just had my second cervical fusion this past July 20. There were complications during the surgery that kept me in the ICU for the first 3 days of my 2-week hospital stay. Upon waking, I could not…

I'm a day let getting started as well, but I'm ALL IN! Heading to the spreadsheet to sign up right now.

I'm still heading in the right direction with a net 1 pound loss this week, but had a minor setback with Friday night's dinner. I was also unable to workout the past two weeks with a back injury. Starting tomorrow morning, I am back in action. Workouts start anew.

Greatest Movie Of All Time: Title Match (D/T) Shawshank Redemption vs. (A) Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark This was a lot of fun, Tsh0ck. Thanks for all your work.

Protein, fiber, and water are filling. Make sure you get plenty of these three and you won't be hungry all the time.

WebMD has a good article in favor of daily weigh-ins. http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20051118/daily-weigh-in-may-help-dieters-lose I have to agree with most of the people in this thread, though. It's all about personal preference and personal responsibility. You want to weight yourself daily? Go for it. There are many…

Lost 3.8 more pounds this week, despite having some back issues that are keeping me from exercising. 9.8 pounds total in the past two weeks.

Kinda hard to vote for or against a movie if you've never seen it. Seems like that would make it a no vote. For me, though: Greatest Movie Of All Time: Final Four (C) Monty Python: Holy Grail vs. (D/T) Shawshank Redemption (A) Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark vs. (SF/F) Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back

Greatest Movie Of All Time: Drama/Thriller Region Championship 16 Silence of the Lambs vs. 15 Shawshank Redemption Love Shawshank, but greatest drama/thriller of all time? Methinks probably not.

Check out www.pbfingers.com She loves Chia seeds and incorporates them into several recipes, one of which is Overnight Oats. I have become a huge fan of her website and quick, easy, nutritious breakfasts.... like Overnight Oats.

So far, so good. It isn't the weekdays that get me, though. I can very closely monitor and control what I have available to me while at work. The weekends are a killer. It's where I have to keep a tight reign on portion control. I hopped on the scale this morning and it showed that I weighed 2 lbs less than I did 2.5 days…

After seeing some of the crazy sandwiches already posted, these may seem a bit lame: 1. banana and Mayo sammy 2. Clausen pickle (either spears or cut lenghtwise) and mayo ... loaded with pepper.

I have a long way to go, too. I'd fallen into the diet trap over the past couple of years with little to no success. This is so much conflicting information out there. Information overload!! Everyone wants to sell you their 'clinically tested, fool-proof, can't miss method to rid you of fat forever!" What they don't tell…

Very few topics grab my attention the way yours did, Tracy. I have changed my eating habits and am getting addicted to working out. I stopped with the negativity and excuses. I allowed myself to gain all this extra weight. Now, I'm becoming healthier because I choose to live a healthier lifestyle. Friend request sent. If…

I'm glad someone mentioned drinking water. I started drinking a cold glass of water upon first waking in the morning and having a glass of water in the middle of the night should something wake me up. It's the little changes in mindset that seem to be working for me. If you can quit smoking cold turkey, you can truly do…

I hear ya! I used to do a lot of "after work bingeing" too. I started eating a healthy snack right before leaving work so I don't arrive home with a desire to ravage the peanut butter jar. It definitely helped me. The peanut butter lasts a lot longer now ;)

41yo 5'10" SW 350 CW 332.2 GW 220 1st goal weight: Break the 300 mark! I am actually shooting for 12 lbs in this challenge. I'd like to see 320 on the scale by the end of 6 weeks.

Hello all! My name is Boyd. I am a 41 year old husband and father of five. I live in Chesapeake, VA and have witnessed in horror as my weight has skyrocketed since my early 30's. I can think of plenty of excuses as to why this happened, but in the end, it still let it happen. At my highest, I was 350 lbs and completely…

I'm in, starting TODAY!! I've been weight training 3x weekly and although I'm losing inches, I'm not losing any actual weight. Time to start integrating some cardio to blast away the fat!

I've never tried avocados before and have been curiously looking at them in the grocery store recently. I've been reading up on their health benefits and talking with an associate of mine at work who loves them. I think this post has pushed me over the edge. I'm picking some up on the way home tonight to try this weekend!…

Yuh huh! Got back into lifting.... oh, how I have missed thee!

B-b-b-bump!

I was told by a fitness trainer at a nationally recognized gym that it doesn't matter what you eat, as long as you work out regularly. As a f'rinstance, he told me ate half a pie that morning for breakfast. Even if he had a flat stomach, his advice would have come across as poppycock.

I'm not sure where all the animosity and the nay-sayers are coming from. This list is loaded with good tips. There are some that are just common sense, yet most people take for granted or overlook, like eating slower (guilty as charged). Others are informative, like eating on blue dinner plates. I know some people may poo…

I hear ya, Sarah! I'm a PB Junkie. I had managed to go a full month with NO peanut butter, even though it was in the house. In times past, I would grab the jar and dig in with a spoon. Half a jar later, I found myself headed to the fridge for some ice cold milk to wash it all down. Peanut butter was absolutely NOT safe in…
