Thanks for your post...Congratulations. I have never been a resolutioner...but mid-last year I decided to change my life for the better and to become healthier and more active. I lost 35 pounds in a little over 2 months...I was seriously on fire with the exercise and nutrition...not dieting or starving...just eating the…

New England Patriots...with my very distant second choice being the Chicago Bears

I tried being a vegetarian a few years back. I have not eaten beef for probably 20 years - and I try to limit my intake of pork as well. It's a tremendous amount of work...getting the right nutrients in the right amounts. I found, back then at least, that with my 90% work travel schedule that the options were not that…

I lost 30 pounds in 8 weeks...but it was quite the effort. Hired a trainer for 2 days a week, did a mix of cardio and strength training 4-5 days a week. Kept myself on a somewhat strict diet - contained to 1800-2000 calories - almost never eating back calories from exercise (and NEVER starved myself). NO alcohol, fried…

It's nice to know, but based off from the specific nutrition and exercise for the day. Since every day is different for me at the gym - from running to strength training the number fluctuates by about 20 pounds. Overall though, it feels good to begin to see some of those numbers...

I appreciate that people notice. It's a lot of work and effort. Not yet at the point where people tell me not to loose anymore though...lol.

NFL...no question. GO PATS!!!

I delete the UP adjustment in MFP every day. I log my organized exercise (strength, running, etc.) on MFP directly and so I think that UP adjustment is a double count. In addition, I am not interested in the every day activity - like walking around home / office. I certainly don't want to eat those calories back. I do keep…

Anything cooked on the grill. Fresh meat with vegetables tossed in a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Everything tastes fresh and so good...

I am in for 60 miles in July...just starting training for a half marathon in September....can definately use the push.

Please don't diminish the hard work that so many men, including myself, are putting into the huge challenge of loosing weight. I have become 100% committed to making myself healthier through nutrition and exercise. So far, it has been anything but easy. In fact in the last two weeks, despite the effort, I only lost 1.8…

This is one of the most common questions out here and the answers will range across the spectrum. Personally, I don't tend to eat back the calories gained from a workout. My daily intake is around 2,000 calories and this seems to be enough so that I am not hungry, even with a good workout. Having said that, my weight loss…

This is an area that seems complicated and confusing. There are a variety of opinions across the board. I absolutely do NOT exercise to eat more or for a reward. It seems that even with the exercise, I am satisfied with the 2,000 calorie daily consumption. In fact, I usually only log real workouts and don't let the "UP"…

I am a VERY slow runner - as are alot of other people so it's not something to worry about. Just find a run with a longer time to finish - some of them can be more aggressive (i.e. San Francisco). The Rock N Roll Half-Marathon series are a good way to start. There are alot of training programs online for beginners - all…

When I started a couple weeks ago, my trainer told me that alcohol was the one thing that would really hold me back. Very social person and really enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner. I gave it up...it has only been a couple weeks but haven't seen any acceleration in weight loss. I am going to keep up with it for now...

Congrats...that is amazing weight loss in 3 months.

Congrats...you are a great example for me in my journey of weight loss.

I work in Chicago during the week...actually am flying home this afternoon. Maybe go a little early and get some miles in there, between the terminals. Yes, my trainer is a body builder...he's great but I don't think that he has worked with alot of weigh loss clients to the extent that I need to loose weight. Thanks for…

I have heard the same thing from a couple people...however, it's contrary to my trainer. He says if you can make it to the gym then do it...but listen to your body. That's why the last 2 weeks straight.

With my large body frame, I am never going to be at the "ideal" 138-172 lb. range...would look dead at that weight. That's fine...there's a long way to go before that becomes an issue...

Red wine for sure...but more from a social aspect. Anyways, it's OUT!!

WOW...you look great man...very motivational for me. I have about 75 pounds to loose - starting at 308. Am 100% committed to making the changes to ensure that I reach the goal. It's good to see other people doing the same.
