Congratulations on not only the loss but your dedication and motivation! No doubt you will get to where you want to be - inside and out =)

I am there right now. I went for almost 2 years full force (4-6x a week, 1-3hrs a day). I lost 68 lbs. It was fantastic. Life happened. I didn't go to the gym for about 6 months (put 25 lbs back on) - when I went back, the management and staff had a complete overhaul - and I hate to admit it - but after going to that gym…

I hate hate hate running in the city - BUT - have taken to it for practical reasons. While I don't get cat calls etc - I was embarrassed/shy among all the 'runners' that flank my park laden part of town - I found that wearing a ball cap and sunglasses makes me feel invisible to others and it has helped me get out there (i…

I use almond milk daily (unsweetened original, and unsweetened vanilla) for coffee, cereal, shakes for its low calories (and I really like the woodiness in my coffee), and can't stand soy milk - otherwise I drink 1% dairy milk if I want a "glass of milk" I have tried many brands but seem to only like Almond Breeze for some…

Energi Cardio on Mont Royal east. Been going there (with varying degrees of consistency) since 1999. Tried other gyms, but always seem to go back to that one. Small, comfortable and 12 minute walk from my house =)

I am trying. I consume alcohol almost daily. I live in a culture where wine is served with every meal, wine and cheeses are the norm social event, and most of my work meetings take place over drinks. Factor in being a sports fan and living with someone who does not feel they should have to quit just because I am, it has…

avocados on my burger any day of the week YUM~!!

Overall, I love my gym. But.... I am annoyed by the same small things as many here - not wiping equipment; not racking weights, that one kid who drops the weights ALL THE TIME, and people who don't use the sign up sheet for the cardio machines (especially when they are all being used, and you are on the one I…

my favorite! =)

I go to the EnergiCardio Plateau Mt Royal. Been going there (or at least paying!) since 1999! I've tried other gyms, but always go back. It is small, I work out in the daytime so it's never crowded. Not the most elaborate gym, but has what I need. Otherwise, I run in Parc Lafontaine, do sprints in Parc Baldwin and workout…

o_O heh - thanks!

oh my - i missed this thread darn-it!!!

I'll play along - no bikini pics just yet (have 35lbs more to go) A picture after finishing last weeks Run For Your Lives 5k Zombie Run obstacle course race:

might sound odd - but my homemade pickled beets - 20calories for a half cup - and satisfies the sweet and sour cravings (and ruins your taste buds for a little while afterwards so you actually don't want to eat anything else lol)
-
could be interesting. Been looking for a kick in the pants - heck knows I've used many excuses thus far - and this body won't get itself ready for the trifecta next year ;-) Is there a mailing list or something that you would be able to let us know weekly etc.?
-
I feel the exact same way. I lost 68 lbs from Nov. 2010 - Nov 2011. I felt amazing and looked great. I gained back 15lbs between January and April 2012 but it looks much worse (got lumpy in all the wrong places). I have started and restarted again and again - and I just can't seem to find that same deep desire to keep it…

Newly minted PhD in Film Studies (research on Video Games) and currently working as a Research Associate until I can find tenure track somewhere in the world.
-
Thank you =) - It did feel more than 5k, but I thought that was just the mountain! If it was that long, might actually consider the Super next year, would give me a full year to train ..... Was hoping to do a Warrior Dash in August, but it got cancelled near me.
-
I will let you now when I finish the Spartan Sprint next Sunday!! I may be hooked, I may never want to run another obstacle course again! lol (it seems the Warrior dash at least gives you the course in advance - Spartan is all surprise!)
-
Doing my first Spartan Sprint in 9 days - been working on my upper body, and training 5k in sprints (since my trainer - who has done the Spartan Race, said the obstacles often bottle neck, that I should work on sprints instead of endurance in terms of running). I also do daily jump rope and practice 4 point burpees as much…
-
Yes. I fully expect to come in last in next month's Spartan Race - but as many people have stated above, I am running the race for me and to finish will be winning.

Cheetos Puffs and a Loaker "rose dolomite" chocolate for lunch ... /sigh

You look absolutely fantastic! Congratulations on your hard work and dedication. I needed to see this today - motivation has been quite low, and seeing the happiness in your current photo is inspirational. thank you.
-
I have to say, I agree 100% with this. I have a friend who has recently lost 68 lbs. We live 10 hours apart. I asked her to send me a pic - I was so proud of her! I was excited to see the new her. But she wrote to me saying she just couldn't do it. That although she had lost a significant amount of weight (and looking…

Unfortunately... when we met I was 5"7 and 135...he is 6'3 and 178 .. I am (now) 193 .. While he has always been rail thin (even when he was in the infantry), I was ok with it until I started to gain weight (went up to 252...) - it was one of the things that spurred me to lose weight - I felt that if he crouched, he could…

hhaha nice!
-
hehe mine would say "please put some clothes on.... ANYTHING!!!" (i am an after-shower kind of weigh-er)

Indeed - editing makes it "reality" television right? That is why I preferred Heavy and currently "My 600 lb life" (although I could do without the surgery scenes). These are inspiring shows in my opinion (well, Heavy was when they did the 6 months at the facility, 6 months off, last few episodes I saw, it was all on-site,…

I was thinking this as well - the fact that 8 weeks in, in past seasons, the changes have been more pronounced; more evident. But as you said, the numbers on the scale are relatively lower than past seasons...

I just got my masters in communication and of course I had to create websites/profiles/blogs etc...requiring a student is vastly different that requiring an employee IMO. _____ (quoted above - I messed up the command - oops!) _____________ But if linked in is used as a corporate/business networking site - as it is (was)…
