2010 Ford Fusion with Sirus, cant live without satelitte radio. I also own a 2001 Blazer, use it to pull toys.

I agree, noone understands how daunting it can be to track your food EVERY day and to expose it to the internet. You have to be "IN IT" to appreciate the journey.

I agree !!!

Pretty sure DIET is NOT an exercise. I also agree that running is GREAT for your abs. I do no abs work outs, just running and my tummy is pretty flat. You can actually feel your stomache muscles contract when you are out jogging.

I thought the same thing when I read this thread. Four drinks a day is offiicially a habit. This person is either VERY young and still has a high metabolism or does not have a lot of weight to lose.

Exactly my point.

Take your fettish to CRAIGS LIST ! These boards are for intelligent and healthy minded people. unreal.

Everything in moderation my dear ! I cut way back on drinking when I stared on MFP. It has done wonders for my metabolism and I feel SOOO much better. IF you read through this entire thread you will see a pattern of responses : Moderation and Commitment. This will be the key to your success !

DITTO !!!

This is amazing advice. I also upped my calorie intake by 1000 and started to lose weight.

IF this is truly your diet then I believe your body is going into starvation mode. It is simply storing any form of carb and sugar that you intake in fear that it will be cut off. You need to up your food calories to 1300-1400 a day. I recently went from 1200 to 1278/1300 and lost 4 lbs. Good Luck !

I think there is definitley a reason why Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels are on The Biggest Loser. They walk the walk and not just talk the talk. A trainer is quite different than a coach. I think high school football coach can be a little heavier because many of his players are in demand if they are also heavier(ie:…

IS this a before and after shot ? The fat around the heart is very sad.

Great job John ! Never give up and always remember that your health and happiness are what makes you a GREAT DAD ! Cheers !

I do boxing punches (25 per arm) and LOTS of push ups. I once read that men and women should do 25 push ups every day for definition in your arms. GOOD LUCK !!

Cardio is absolutley necessary if you want to lose and maintain. Women need more cardio then men, just the way it is. I will never stop running as that is the key to my success and make me feel mentally and physically unstoppable.

I used to bruise under my big toes from running. Found out from my chiro that I was not switching my shoes as often as I should. You should get new shoes every 3-4 months.

Cheese, turkey and tomatoes.

Miller Lite

I gained 3 lbs....but had a great weekend ! You cant be an angel every day. Get back on the wagon and dont look back.

This is amazing and beyond inspirational. You should celebrate every day that you and your wife had the courage to turn your lives around. CONGRATS to you both !

I remember that feeling, you will never forget it. Once you hit a 5K these moments will make you smile. KEEP RUNNING !!!!

I wish someone would have told me how important a good pair of running shoes can be for your progress. They make all the difference and can give you the extra ummmpf when you need it.

I also agree with not eating your exercise calories. I stopped adding these and the scale started to move for me. I also increased my intensity with my work out. I run and so I went up a couple MPH.

I also agree that you are running too fast. SLow it down but keep the distance. If you run atleast three days a week you will build up the stamina and your shins will buidl muscle to support you.

Where do you buy the Honey singer chews and do you every get stomach cramps from these ?
