Midgets can't grow. People can't change color. But we can all lose weight. Problem solved!

Holy balls, this is awesome! You people are as cynical and sarcastic as I am. Color me impressed.

I just did

Well played, everyone! All I'm saying is that it seems a bit childish that way it's done.

Yes, please.

Short answer- No Long answer- Try Guinness. Light as a Bud Light, but has at least SOME taste.

Well, that's tough. I don't stay out quite that late anymore since I finished school, but the best way is to keep filling snacks at your place to roll through when you get trashed. I actually started keeping apples and lowfat string cheese at my apartment, and that really did the trick. The tough part is the mental…

That does sound like a shin splint to me (not a doctor). I struggled with them in college playing rugby. You can push through all but the worst ones without damaging yourself worse, but it won't fully go away without rest. Really depends on your pain tolerance. You get it from too much force on your shin bone, if I…

Beer. Beer. Beer.

I don't know if you are a runner, but I got the Garmin Forerunner 305 for about $120 with free shipping off of Amazon. It's came with a great wireless HRM that connect to the watch and then you can upload it to their website. It's worked for me, I've lost an additional 30 lbs. since I got it in February.…

Hey, I feel you. But I think maybe you are being too hard on yourself lately. Look how well you have done so far. You've steadily lost since you started. Sometimes I feel the same way, then I look at how far I've come and it's not such a big deal.

I was 365 lbs when I started, now I'm down to 294. Keep on truckin.

I'm 29 and have a history of sports related knee issues. I wear two knee braces for added stability, you can get basic ones for $20 a pop at CVS. You might just have some minor cartilage tears. I'm no doctor, but it might just be getting older. It couldn't hurt getting it checked out by a specialist.

Dude, that's normal. I didn't even stop with the beer, just stopped buying a case every weekend and I dropped like 50 lbs in 6 months. I mean, I was doing other stuff to help too, but a good quality beer (all I drink) is anywhere from 250 to 400 (!!!!) cals. Pop back 15 of those in a weekend, and, well, you do the math.

I started at 365 lbs. and I'm now 297. I play alot of football, and I definately feel wayyyyy quicker. I figure it's like strapping a 70 lb. weight to your gut and trying to run. Obviously, it would slow you down.

I'll try not to drink TOO many beers, babe. We can go for walks in the morning if you want!

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to try some of your suggestions.

Mostly I noticed when people that hadn't seen my for a while all said how small I looked. I think when you see yourself everyday, you dont notice it. I can really see it in my face in pictures now though...I have a jaw again!

Beer is my worst enemy. I love it so very much.

Last night, my flag football team won our league championship after going 7-0 during the season. I played the entire season for the entire 60 minute games, and didn't get tired. It seems lame, but I feel fantastic this morning. Forget the weight loss, being able grab a little sneaky QB's flag after running him down from…
