I will say people do treat you better when you are more physically attractive and of normal weight. This in turn gives you more confidence. I remember When I was 20 years old, I went from 285 to 185, and it was a night and day difference in how people treated me. It did give me loads of confidence as a result.

My highest days have been 4000 calories, and on those days, I'm a BEAST when I lift.

Agreed on the making sure it's all about making yourself better, and not making him jealous. This is about you and making you happy. Break-ups are some of the most difficult things you will face. I guarantee you this will also be challenging (personal health). Keep at it. Don't ever give up. There may be good days, and…

Yes, one day, I woke up and realized I was in a horrible relationship. I realized I was very depressed, and my (then girlfriend) had everything to do with it. I decided what I wanted out of my life. I kicked that girl to the curb, and started working on myself. Lost over a hundred pounds. I'm not exactly where I want to be…

You look really good. I had this happen to me my first time I reached normal BMI. I girl I was dating said that when I got to 184(upper end of my normal BMI), that my cheeks were indented, and I didn't look as good as a short time before. Personally, I still had a little bit of belly fat, and I wanted to get down to 175…

This. Try reducing your calorie intake by 100 calories for two weeks, then take new weight and measurements. Keep your workout intervals the same. If no progress, reduce by another 100, for two more weeks.

2005 Specialized Allez Sport. I have made the ride from work to home on occasion my car is broke. 13.4 mile ride. I usually get it done in about 40 minutes.

May need to try that one lol. :D

I'm okay with drinking unsweetened tea. I may have to try brewing a gallon of it and bring some with me to work, and see how that goes.

Yeah, I've heard that too. One of my friends was on a prescription one for a short while, and she said her heart was racing constantly. Lost quite a bit of weight though.

I think I got that one down, a little too well.

I have a couple in particular that I'd like to meet in person, but some live on different continents. There is one in particular who we both have mutual attraction to, but I think it's best to leave married people at a distance, especially if there's mutual attraction. If the winds changed for both of us, (I'm in a…

Clipless pedal shoes require the soles to be super stiff. It's because the pedal is really small, and the sole of the shoe is what is supporting your foot. For cycling shoes, find you local cycling shop and try some on. Mountain bike clipless pedal shoes will have knobbier soles for better walking. Road bike cycling shoed…

Sci Fi nut. Tech geek here. Welcome to add me.

Still have a ways to go before I live up to your expectations. Good luck though with your quest for really attractive friends. I'll see you later on when I join the beautiful people's club.

HAHAHHAHA!

LMAO

Asking that question is like asking what happened in your last relationship, and it's none of their business. I'm single because I chose to no longer be in my former relationship. Reasons are not your concern, but I made a decision, and I'm much happier for it.

I have done some self studies on my body, and when you increase cals, you will put back on some weight, but it's really just food weight in your body. Don't worry. Give it another week to see how the change affects your body.

That's the hotness.

I was morbidly obese when I first started. I just started eating at a calorie deficit, and I lost weight. I started incorporating cardio and strength training slowly. It helps a bunch. I prefer to workout and eat a little more than eat at a lower calorie deficit. I sit at a desk job too. My friend lost over a hundred…

Stop acting like a wuss. Be a man. Make her laugh. Bust on her. Nudge her into things . Being cocky and funny works. There's a fine line between that and arrogant. You can still be a gentleman, but generally, you need to make the event with her exciting.

I'm pretty active in the news thread when people post things. I'm active in real life as well. You're welcome to add me.

I've already lost 129 pounds, still another 60 to go to hit my ultimate weight.

Welcome.

That looks pretty badass. Get me my Firefly fix since I've watched the series and Serenity several times.

I have done Paleo in the past, strictly Paleo. I'm about 85% Paleo now. I still enjoy the occasionoal ice cream though. I almost never eat breads, and I have cut legumes out of my diet. Cereal and milk are gone as well.

It's tough when you know your pants won't fit again in 2-3 months. Shopping at the thrift store sometimes helps if you find something you like. I buy new clothes when I can afford to. Lately though, I'm still wearing things too big for me and using a belt.

Glad you had fun and felt great on your girls night out.
