We could all aim for October 1st or the 31st. I'm aiming for the 1st. I haven't weighed in, I injured myself and fell off the wagon. Getting back on!

Had a super awesome weekend at my first ever baseball game (went to see the Oakland A's vs Boston Red Sox). It was quite the riot, it was kind of hot during the day and then all of a sudden, it became the coldest place on earth at night. I also drank quite a bit, but hey, it happens and I had to get into the full "I'M AT A…

I usually buy from Costco: Bag of salad $2.09 24 Eggs $6.99 Bag of salad lasts me about 3-4 days. Eggs last me about a week or two. It's really cheap, but will get boring real fast.

Don't get discouraged if you go up a week, it just means you have to adjust for the current week :). That's why I recommend weighing in every week to my friends.

Not at all, I love that this group is starting to run itself :)

Healthcare professional here: Look at your urine color, if it's yellow or dark yellow, you're probably not getting enough water. If it's clear, you're drinking too much. It should be slightly tinted, not completely clear.

Torani makes a sugar free syrup, you can add it to your coffee. Hazelnut is good. I think it's zero calories, it uses Splenda.

Anybody else want in? :)

Here's my regimen. 1600 calories max, low carb, high fat, sometimes low fat too. There will be cheat days, but I'll try to keep those infrequent. Work out routine, 5x5 with separate days, Tricep/Chest, Bicep/Back, Legs/Abs. Anyone can do it :)

Affair please? Hehe

Any other takers? :)

We're gonna have to be buds.

Went for a jog for the first time in a long time, was able to complete laps without stopping.

Everyone, feel free to add me. I'm working towards a goal of losing 30 lbs before October.

You can add me up, I'm aiming for a certain body type by December. I don't know if it'll happen, but I'm trying for it.

Just did 2 sets of 25 a few minutes ago. Going for another set soon.

If you go to a grocery store, look at the nutritional information on bread, I think the 2nd or 3rd ingredient is sugar. Also, opt for the non-fat free dressing (yes, this is not a typo). Fat free dressing ends up usually having more carbs in order to create the viscosity that is dressing.

Surprised no one said this yet, go to the thrift store. I have a ton of new (to me) clothes. I see it as inexpensive transitional clothing.

Be careful with potassium, you can in fact OD on potassium (source, I'm in healthcare). You can add potassium to your diet in various ways. Black coffee has good amounts of potassium, as does avocados and coconut, but both of these also have high calories with coconut also having more carbs (for those of you carb…

I know someone that did it. The main reason people lose weight juicing is due to multiple things. 1) They are only ingesting juice. 2) Because they are only ingesting juice, not juice drinks, but home made juice extraction, they are at severe caloric deficits. 3) Vitamins, awesome, but caloric deficit, see #2. I'm not…

Don't forget about pickles, cheese, jerky (read the labels, some have lots of carbs), Quest Bars, etc.

Can only see half the face, I'm going with Kim Kardashian, except I'm sure that xoxoleanne doesn't have Kim's crazy ways. As for the next person, please don't say PSY. LOL.

Where is the squeak coming from? Is it coming from the wheels or from the gear mechanism? If it's coming from the wheels, you have a few options. Are they rubber wheels or are they made of plastic? Be sure to clean off the rails before spraying anything on it. You could probably use a silicon based lubricant on it. Also,…

LOOK AT ALL THAT PROTEIN, MY GAINS.

This video has all the bad feels. Things he mentioned in the video: 1) Why do people make fun of me for eating so much? Answer: Diet is key, no seriously. It takes a lot of effort to restrict yourself in calories. 2) Can't walk very far because of my knees, etc. Answer: Diet really is key, I didn't work out at all, lost 70…

I always opt for anything low-carb, skip the fries etc if I can. I try not to eat fast food. Even if I do and end up getting a salad of sorts, half packet of the dressing is plenty for cutting out the calories. Always opt for full fat dressings instead of fat free dressings (if you look at the nutritional info, you'll see…

When I was an ultra obese teenager with long hair, I once got asked if I was a boy or a girl.

Very blue eyes.
