It's probably because he sees you everyday. It's like watching grass grow. But from the before and after pictures there is a noticeable difference. And congrats on completing it :D

High five!

I am a recovering alcoholic, so it's not playing a role in my diet thankfully.

I must admit, though, being told that I (and anyone who doesn't share the same faith) am living in "fake freedom".... kind of hard to not say something.

"I wish people would stop misquoting me." - Jesus But congratulations on your journey and weight loss. That is indeed something to be very proud of.

I give my body a day for rest. It likes me better if I do.

Yes. I have a bunch of Jillian vids that I do at home, and I couple it with jogging at a nearby park. The first time around I went from 144lbs to 122lbs. Then life happened and I put a lot of the weight back on so I'm doing it all over again. But you certainly do not need a gym. Your body and surroundings can act as your…

Newfoundlands. Hands down. We had a bunch of them when I was growing up. Such loyal, faithful dogs. Unbelievably cuddly to boot. It's like snuggling with an actual grizzly bear.

The rare times that I eat ice cream I take my spoon and stir it until it is creamy like a shake. That's the only thing I can really think of.

Anyone who says they're not a glancer is lying.

I wouldn't skip level 1. There are really great workouts in it and you'd be missing out.

Runtastic!!!!

Agreed to the nth degree.

See, this is what bugs me. You have no idea - none at all - what that person is going through. You don't know if they have an injury or anything else medical going on with them. It is so not your place to personally judge how a person should be conducting THEIR workout.

These hook inside your ear and are the greatest things ever invented. http://www.amazon.com/Bose-327279-0020-IE2-Audio-Headphones/dp/B003XU6H8I/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362452286&sr=1-2&keywords=bose+headphones

It incorporates both. You use weights a lot.

I do the 30 day shred at home and a few other Jillian DVDs.

I clearly have an impeccable sense of humor.

I don't know why, but this is making me laugh so hard right now. Also, Ke$ha is Ke€ha in Europe. hyuk hyuk hyuk

10 - 15 minutes? Ain't nobody got time for that.

From a sociological perspective it absolutely does. That's why impoverished neighborhoods tend to be overrun by fast food joints (fast and cheap) whereas stores with healthy foods (fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats) are in more affluent areas.

Rather than tell myself anything, I just force myself to put on exercise clothes. We tend to take on the role of what we're wearing. If my jammies are on then I'm lounging. But if I just solely make the attempt to put on exercise clothes and tie up my sneakers, all of a sudden I find that I want to exercise.

I've lived in four different states in the past three years. Moving is fun. Might as well do it now while you still can.

I do it under circuit training.

Day 1 down. I took it slow and steady due to a shoulder injury. But the shoulder felt good so maybe I'll take it up a notch for tomorrow.

I love when I get scienced. I hate that I agree with both sides of this seemingly inconsequential debate though. Basically, I'm just happy when I pee clear.

My slinky is not fat.

If you upped your weights then you're probably retaining water for repair. Forget the scale- how do you look and feel?

No insurance. So I researched as much as I could and tried healing it on my own. A lot of rest (8 months worth) and minimal exercise with it - light stretching, arm raises (as much as I could muster). I basically just b*tched and moaned for 8 months and I think my shoulder got tired of hearing me yell at it for being so…

I don't record until I lose. I find it discouraging otherwise. If my last weigh-in is, say, 136lbs, and I hover it around it, I won't record until I am 135lbs. I don't care if it takes a month... and sometimes it does.
