  • For you guys that are having trouble with the water just treat it like you would your exercise or whatever. Maybe you don't love it but you have to do it. Tip: Fill up a big bottle or jug and leave it in an area you would go through multiple times - your desk, on the kitchen counter, etc. Every time you notice it drink a…

  • Amazing and inspiring. I have a similar path to follow, though I am just starting mine.
  • I've met some NHL players: Martin Brodeur, Luke Schenn, Joe Thornton, Paul Coffey, Tie Domi, Wendel Clark, Brad Boyes and more. Mostly just autograph meetings but I was at a stag party with Boyes. I've met Mary Walsh (only famous in Canada) (actually in her house through a friend) Jesse Leach and Adam D (autograph/chat)…
  • I also need some ppl to kick my butt when I need it.
  • 6 ft, currently 328. At one point I woulda been a success story when I got down to 270. Back at square 1 with a new goal of getting to 230 in 1 year. It is going to be tough. I want to make it through a full year so I can really change my life.

  • Bold coffee w/ Milk.
  • Awesome work man. Really awesome.
  • I challenge you to motivate someone else TODAY. Maybe the process of doing that will spark something in you. I always find when I am doing well I am trying to help others and it keeps me motivated.
  • Just remember the disappointment you feel in yourself for failing. Imagine feeling that right now. Your choice is to literally do something, or feel like this in a matter of no time. If it's too hot outside do something inside. Go through away some bad food and drink some water, see if that sparks you. I wish I had a…
  • I'm in the same place. Except add about another dozen 'agains' in your topic. It is a war not a battle. I think we need to get our heads around that and try to focus more on an overall change than just some milestone. I don't know. I am really struggling with this myself. I am trying not to be overly hard on myself but…
  • Great job man. What you've done is similar to what I wanna do. It's really cool to see you've been able to do it.
  • I buy one from wal-mart called Body Fortress. I get the chocolate one and it tastes very similar to chocolate milk, even when mixed with water. In milk it is awesome. I did try a cheaper option from Costco and it had a very funky aftertaste and less of a chocolate flavor. Costco's option woulda saved me about 10 bux a…
  • I'm going home to Newfoundland at the end of the month and I'm eating fish n chips, regardless how bad it is. I'm not anywhere near my goal and I am no expert, but my thought on the matter is once in a while you have to let yourself have bad stuff. I can get my head around not eating crap all the time but to say I will…
  • You look better today than you did in the before pic IMHO.
  • That is about my weight, though I am male so the formula may be different. I just did my stationary bike for 50 minutes wearing my HRM and I burned just under 600 calories. My avg heart rate was I think 138. Friday I did jogging for only 28 minutes and had a higher avg heart rate, I think around 145 and in those 28 mins…
  • Maybe you could do some adjustments on some of the foods you are getting your fats from now and look at higher calorie ways of getting that fat in your diet?
  • Great that you want to stick with everything. Your point about logging is understandable. My wife has the same thoughts. I kind of just do it because I have to. I feel like if I don't sort of obsess about this that I'll let myself slip. It just takes a few minutes to do even if I just do it at the end of the day in one…
  • I wonder if trying a new sport/activity might inspire you a bit. Obviously you have the willpower to keep going if you rode 20 miles on your bike. I guess what I'm saying is, maybe it's time to mix it up. Once something becomes a routine some of the fun is lost.
  • Not that I can speak from experience or anything, but there is obviously some motive to wanting to "meet" these other girls. Most guys got enough friends already and something tells me he isn't looking for someone to chat about cars or watch sports with. It would not shock me if this behavior might have caused or helped…
  • Great job man. I am not kidding... you look 10-15 yrs younger. Amazing. I hope one day I can put up my pics.
  • I just started using powder last week. I thought I was eating right, I was always at or under my calories unless I cheated from time to time. I still couldn't get enough protein so it was suggested to me that I try the powder. I bought a Body Fortress chocolate one at walmart for something like 23 bucks. It's 2 lbs which I…
  • Wow, amazing work! Any insight and what you did that helped you be so successful so far? off topic, that's a wicked El Camino in the background of the photo with you in the NYY shirt. Is that yours? I LOVE those cars.
  • great job!
  • Just so I can compare myself, how tall are you? Also, could you be a bit more specific about what you are doing for exercise? What/How much/How often? Thanks bud, and awesome friggin job!
  • There are 2 things that could possibly work for you. 1. spaghetti squash - squash that has the look of spaghetti noodles and really takes on the flavor of the sauce. 2. cauliflower Alfredo - Alfredo sauce made out of cauliflower. you can use this with real pasta and the only amount of real calories then comes from the…
  • Obviously your post was a cry for help. Obviously you are frustrated and pissed off and feel like a failure. (welcome to the club btw, 99% of us here are card carrying members). Get it out of your system and come back at it. Put that aggression into something positive. Stick with it and you will see results. Do it for your…
  • Sorry to jump in here as Im a guy and what do I know about dresses... My wife owns a bridal store so I do know a little actually. Talk to someone about seamstress options. A dress can be let out an inch on each side (I think that is at least one size, maybe 2). Lose all the weight you can but don't panic and don't do…
  • I say if you have 850 left and you plan to exercise then enjoy whatever you want in moderation. You'll know if your killin it. Just try to be sensible and allow yourself some delicious bbq...
  • I found out that Chris Powell has a website called www.reshapethenation.com It's a paid membership though, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it?
  • Just for the benefit of anyone in Canada whose considering purchasing one of these. I just checked around online. www.treadmillfactory.ca sells the ft4m for 119.99 , canadiantire.ca for 139.99 , amazon.ca I couldn't find it but amazon.com I just ordered it and it'll be under 60 bux to my door.
