Wow man, zero cheat days. You are a rock. You look quite slender in the pics - can't imagine that you weigh 260 and look that good.

I did that once and it hurt like hell but learned how not to do it again. You can hurt yourself doing any exercise if your form is wrong I think the elliptical is really good for low impact hardcore calorie burn. I alternate between it and the stationary bike for some variety.

In order to keep the weight off you need to deal with some of the demons that got you to put it on in the first place. One thing about Biggest Loser is that the coaches seem to try to identify and root out some of those demons. They will and do come out in the intensity of the show and some of those moments are pretty…

Maybe in today's more mobile world that is true, but there are most definitely regional traits that can identify some (not all) people groups. For example, in the Rwanda massacre in the 90s the Hutus could tell who the Tutsis were by their features. When we "adopted" a family of Vietnamese boat people in the 80s they told…

I envy your state of serenity - I am finding it very elusive. And you look stunningly gorgeous.

I started C210K on Jan 1 and ran in snow on Jan 8 and injured my knee. Now a month later it hurts as much as it did the first day which really cramps my style. My advice, friend, would be that if your knees hurt on the treadmill, you will be making a big mistake hitting the roads. Better to lose some weight and be ready,…

Day 1 of "Couch to 10K" ... hopefully 10K is the stepping stone to the ultimate goal of a marathon, but it begins with a 60 second jog :)

I am no expert cuz I have done many times what you've described. I think that the trick is to get off the slippery slope ASAP when you find yourself on it. For example, Christmas baking is a big problem with me and I easily put on 10 lbs in December. So now, December is over and I'm putting that all behind me and jumping…

If you're comfortable with a spreadsheet, and you have been faithfully logging your food, exercise and weight loss, then you can take a good shot at what your TDEE has been for as long as you've been logging. I put in about 3 months' data and determined that my TDEE is around 2300 calories. If you use excel, and PM me, I…

Quite some time ago my doctor told me about Glycemic Index and what I took away from that was to try to choose low GI foods where possible, especially fruits because I love the sugar. I'm not qualified to comment on the finer points of Glycemic Index, but here is a list of foods (including fruits and veggies) with their GI…

Sorry dudette - I should have read your profile. Of course, then I wouldn't have said anything as you were being consistent with what's stated there. :flowerforyou:

Cut her some slack dewd. Her main language is French.

I am in. It may have to be a walk, but I will cover 5km on Saturday!

I do remember the pain of having a 16 year old daughter. I wish I had been able to be more supportive and patient with her at the time, as she was going through a lot of *kitten*, having a slight learning disability and sometimes being the target of the cool kids. She was really rude, inconsiderate, and her room was a…

I am absolutely not going to stress about it. I will probably overindulge for more than one day, as "Christmas Baking" is all around me. I will do some form of exercise every day, make healthy(ish) meal choices, and burn it all off in a couple days. As my mom says, "It's not what you eat between Christmas and New Year's…

I remember the 1st time I was deleted, and wondered for about 5 seconds what I had done, but figured that we just had different goals. I've been here for 3 months and have found that there are some really cool people here whose work ethic and knowledge I really respect but who are just too different from me. I'm not a…

When I look at myself alone, I generally don't think "Oh there's a fata$$" but when I'm dancing or running, I am *seriously* hampered by the extra person that I am wearing. I am expecting that when I drop my 100lbs or so and feel light as the wind, that life will be great. So, short answer is yes absolutely.

I see a guy on a bench doing his last reps of fly and screaming to get it done. And a pelvis.

I think it's pretty safe to say that if you stick with the program, that extra skin will firm up. My reasoning is that you're still young and your skin still has a lot of elasticity. It's a lot different for us when we get older. That was, for me, the true sign that I was aging - I can pinch some skin on the top of my…

Run Forrest Run! That is a FANTASTIC NSV in my opinion. Fantastic!

This I strongly doubt since a calorie is a measure of energy, and in this case the energy required to move a certain mass for a certain period of time over a certain distance. To my way of thinking, if the mass changes then less energy is required to move it, and cardiovascular fitness wouldn't be part of the equation. In…

Some of these sound like the family in "Million Dollar Baby." Prevail like she did in spite of them.

Field of Dreams - I have to watch that one by myself, lest I let on that I can be touched.

That happened on Friday for me. Pigged out at a potluck, felt like crap, slept bad, got up and went for a 3 hr hike and burned off 1120 calories according to my Garmin, or twice that according to MFP. Falling off the wagon is part of the journey. Just hop back onto the program asap and get on with it. Oh, and try to…

I had it a few years ago and did a few things. - night splint so the excruciating pain of the 1st morning step didn't happen - got some Birkenstock sandals for wearing around the house - custom orthotics for my shoes - take time off from what caused the injury (which for me was running) I don't remember how long it took…

My gym stuff doesn't stink, but I usually don't leave it in a heap when it's wet. I only wear shirts once cuz they get totally drenched, but shorts can be reused. Hockey gear, on the other hand, won me the team award for most disgusting equipment.

hahaha you just revealed your hand. You're pretending to be a complete idiot just to provoke.

My dear, you've lost 127 lbs! You are clearly patient and you clearly have strong will power. You are an inspiration to those of us starting out.
