Hi I'm a Fedex Guy so eating on the go is normal. I pack a couple snacks for mid morning and mid afternoon. Usually a string cheese and Clif bar but sometimes some fruit as well. I carry a healthy sandwich for lunch. I keep lots of water on hand to keep me hydrated and to curb hunger pangs if I forget to eat.

I'm the Fedex Guy so lunch is out of the question for me. I always pocket a couple Clif bars for mid morning and mid afternoon snacks and a healthy sandwich for an on the go lunch. Sometimes I pack some string cheese in lieu of a Clif bar. Or sometimes two sandwiches. By healthy sandwich I mean one that has a high fiber…

Bent Mountain (Roanoke County) over here. I'm an Assistant Organizer for the Roanoke Outdoor and Social Club on Meetup. It's free and we are always doing something active and outside. Anyone who wants to friend me can do so and I can hook you up. Not spam. Just a cool place to do stuff that doesn;t cost anything, like MFP.…

That's just rude period. Yeah, you deserved to be offended on that one.

I've heard this a couple times. There is logic in this...

When I was in my early twenties, active duty military, I was quite fit (again, active duty military, and had coal black hair, and the same dark skin I have now. Looking back I was a really good looking young man although I didn't know it at the time. A few years ago I had a girlfriend who found a pic of my younger brother…

One note, the waitress whom I first complimented, and who had the worst reaction, lectured me on how offensive it is to tell a woman that she looks thinner. She explained that by saying she looks thinner that I was telling her that the last time I saw her that she was fat. She even got another patron of the restaurant to…

I think I'm missing something with the ***??? I don't understand.

Quads... When a woman walks by, or jogs, and her quads are nice and defined and jiggle until flexed and then firm up... But please, no matter how well defined your legs happen to be please be able to carry on a conversation!

OK, perhaps there is another issue going on here. What body type do you have now and why do you believe you need to look like these women? We all have to accept that we have genetics that will ultimately dictate how we look. Yes, we can alter bod shape and weight to a degree but only so much. Your ultimate goal should be…

The only "fad" diet I ever tried was Atkins. I was an Over the Road trucker at the time. I had a microwave and a hot plate in the sleeper and my tractor always smelled like bacon and eggs. No, it didn't work and I was never comfortable with sending m bod into a constant state of Ketosis. MFP is b far the most useful tool…

Perhaps the best approach at this point is to follow the advice presented regarding smart eating habits and weightlifting and then make changes as you go along. 1ConcreteGirl makes a good point. I personally have slabs of muscle but show little definition because of my BF %. Even at my "ideal" weight I don't look all that…

Hey man! My best friend is now on MFP and he is loving it! It's amazing what a little positive reassurance can do! Gotta get that BP down man. It's not just weight loss either, it's eating the right kinds of foods and avoiding the rest. I brought mine down drastically b just replacing this with that when I eat. You might…

Fortunately I work 12 hour day shifts. The volunteers handle things of an evening. But yeah, when your partner brings farm fresh eggs and bacon from his own farm it's hard to say no. Thankfully despite my weifght gain I've always been active so I surprise people with my level of athleticism. But the bottom line is when…

309.8 lbs Sorry about the two different sized photos. I'm not the most tech savvy individual. :/ I gotta clean that mirror!!! :O

Uhm, NO! LOL Don't wait. If you're a big guy just own it and go for it. You will see volunteers and career staff of all shapes and sizes. Don't let being a little heavy stop you from pursuing this adventure. Being around other healthy people, being forced to be active, and wanting to look good in that uniform will help…

Oh heck yeah, I was an OTR driver and it was hell on the waistline. It's tough to overcome 11 hours in a seated position and what it does to one's metabolism. The firefighter gig is a part time job right now. 100 hours or so a month. We are a small rural system and most of what we do 95% is EMS. I'm a Medic so I spend far…
