My HRM (Polar F7) is what I use. I've found exercise machines to be all over the place. And I always try to underestimate my exercise cals.

Not sure what age you are, but negativity will never, ever go away. Many people are negative because they are empty inside. I think it's worse in the younger crowd because, well, ya need to grow up. But the thing is, lots of people never grow up. :) Bottom line, toughen up and never,ever give all those other people any…

hahah this line is gold: "I am married and support does not come easy." Drop me a friends request. I'm active and like adding people who are also active at any stage of their life.

Looking good. Keep it up!

Coffee itself isn't bad. It's what some people do to it that's bad. :)

It's far easier to put someone down than to be productive and lift them up.

It's going to take work. I was an emotional / bored eater too. And I've worked from home for ages, so I have nonstop access to food. Ate because my marriage was horrible for years and I was trapped, emotional getting hammered, etc. Ate because I was single again (happy). Ate because of [insert bad event here]. Ate because…

For me it's simple. I only fail when I quit. And I'm not someone who has the ability to stay down and stop fighting. So yeah, I've had mishaps with weight and whatever, but I pick myself back up and get going. I'll stop fighting when I'm dead. :) A big key for me in all things, is I don't let the past bring me down. I see…

Awesome story and great results. I think most of us with a nice bit to lose struggle with the "is it really possible" question and usually can't see results initially, even through they are there. Wish you the best!

I don't do it. I just eat, log and work toward my goals. If pizza comes along, so be it. If I know ahead of time, I'll eat a little better before. If not, I'll workout a little more. Having a cheat day that must be built into each week seems less like trying to make better lifestyle choices and more like being good for a…

Created my own campaign posters for re-electing Ronald Reagan to a 2nd term and showed them off around the neighborhood. I was 11 if memory serves. Crazy stuff man. :)

Heck yeah!!! Keep it going.

I've been watching my sodium for the past couple of weeks. It's very tough. Biggest sinners of sodium are restaurants of all kinds, normal canned soups and cooked food at the supermarket (chicken, etc). Despite all that, I've been mostly under 2300mg a day. Also I drink about one gallon of water daily and try my best to…

Awesome work! Keep making progress. :) BTW, it's lower case on the img tag.

I'm weighing myself weekly this month because I'm close to a weight I haven't been in ages, so it's a phychological thing. However, once I see that number (this weekend I hope), I'll weigh every two weeks. I will take measurements each weekend from here out though.

Simple for me. Keep doing what I've been doing over past couple of weeks. And as a result, I'd love to see 10-12 pounds lost.

Might as well dream it up. Katy Perry Rihanna Mila Kunis Could of said my kids, but I'd hate for them to be stranded on an island. :)

Close. I'm 39. Look a little older in that pic than in person I think, but I'm cool with my age. :)

ZaneNicole = 25 Don't kill me if I'm wrong. :)

True. The scientifically-proven rule by a blue-ribbon panel of Nobel Prize winners is that you can't eat past 7pm EST. Sadly, I'm on the west coast, so I can't eat past 4pm my time. And I'm joking. :)

Oatmeal Eggs Protein shakes Banana Banana w/ peanut butter etc As a man, I shoot for 500 good cals for my breakfast with some coffee (black) or tea (plain), 2-4 glasses of water and vitamins. Women would probably reduce that slightly (perhaps).

How long are you guys going to keep this up?

Some make me laugh because I can't imagine someone using them. Here are a few: 1. If a fat man puts you in a bag at night, don't worry I told Santa I wanted you for Christmas. 2. Did you have lucky charms for breakfast? Because you look magically delicious! 3. My love for you is like diarrhea, I just cant hold it in! 4. If…

Had to delete my post because I thought you said you wanted a pick up line, but it was pick me up. :) If you want to smile, picture yourself in a new swimsuit this summer (posting the pics for your friends to see of course). :)

I live alone these days, but I'm a seat down guy. Basically because I'm not going to flush the toilet with the lid up. When you flush, stuff in the toilet can travel up to 20 feet I believe it is. Problem solved. :)

What an awesome change. Keep going! You're doing great!

You have an hourglass figure. How I know: Was bored waiting on a design client, so I took your front-facing picture and drew an outline around your body. I then compared it with a graphic I found showing fruit sizes. Trying to link it below. You most resembled hourglass (at least from that picture and looking at sides of…

Freaking outstanding man!

I need 10 off, so I'm ready to go. Good luck to all!

I have a few here and there. Don't care though. I just want to dump this weight. I admit that the thought of extra stretch marks or loose skin kept me from getting in shape for a bit. But I'm 39 now and don't give a crap. I'm going to hit 40 hardcore style. :)
