I'm not saying this is the case, and you didn't tell us about the confrontation, or if he denied it, but is it at all possible that someone stole his online identity (Catfishing) I know it's a super remote possibility but it has happened.

Thank you all for your support and even taking the time to read, respond with your opinions and advice. I'm on the horse and I'm riding again. I do know how to get this done, as many pointed out. I did it before... Thank you all again

Had the same question for my Crossfit coach. "Why can I do 90min and bust my tail on an elliptical, and be GASPING for air on a 400m run?" It was explained that the range of motion on an elliptical is fixed. You ONLY move the stroke/incline and per-adjusted resistance of the machine. When you run, your body has to use…

Sounds odd, but aside from looser pants, tighter belt holes... I can now slide my Wedding ring off and on with room to spare.

They taste GREAT!!! but a bit on the high side for Carbs if you are trying to reduce that area. Only 9 grams of Protein, yet 42 grams of Total Carbs

I like many of those who responded needed some sobering thoughts to contemplate. As you point out, we all often get caught up in the numbers and the "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" done this or that. Like you I dropped 45# in 5 months and thought I had this thing whipped. Then all the weight stopped... Not gaining, but no longer…

I'm with BillyBoy, without pics, it didn't happen ;-)

Just a brief note on cost... While true, in comparison CrossFit is more expensive than a traditional $10/mo gym, you also get the benefit of small class size usually 5-10 students to 2 coaches. You are constantly watched and COACHED for that 1 hour. If a coach sees you doing something wrong, they step in, point out the…

I have just started Crossfit after doing a lot of what you are doing right now. Namely research. Here is what I found. Visit and talk with the boxes (gyms) in your area. Check their certifications of each of the coaches. They will refer to the students as "athletes" and they take that seriously. Where you are in your…

Yeah the evil twin of calories... Food mfg use it to "punch up" the taste of low calorie foods. Well all foods really. Even name brand top shelf meat processors (Boars head, Jenni O, Butterball) all use brine injections to help moisten their meat. So even turkey and chicken can push you over the top!! Organic non brined or…

Had it for 2 months. I wear mine 24/7. There are 2 versions. the basic (My wife has) is smaller and must be connected to the computer and a SUBSCRIPTION of about $7/mo. The "enhanced" version (read more $$$) has bluetooth connectivity. It works best with the Iphone, but will work on Android devices, which is what I have.…

Awesome story. Congrats on all you have accomplished and those things yet still to be accomplished in your life. You have figured out the key to success in anything you do. Commitment, Perseverance, Dedication, and Just doing the right thing. Thanks for sharing your success

Well, I would say depending on your current level of fitness, not weight you have some rethinking to do. I see by your profile you want to lose 20# completely doable and I am sure you will succeed. But i caution you on looking for such quick results. I know to YOU it's been a long time with no change. I and most of the…

Take a look around this board.. The MOST motivation method there is is right at your fingertips... People here are at many levels of the journey you have started. ALL have had to start exactly where you are EXACTLY where you are. They did it one day at a time, one meal at a time and one calorie at a time. There are no…

Who knows which is right? Add to that your treadmill and I bet you get yet a 3rd answer... I've been using the BodyMediaFit device which "says" it uses more of a scientific method of calculating cal burned. It's a sensor you wear on your arm that measures a bunch of stuff that then uploads into MFP. I asked around before I…

Thanks all, You are all RIGHT!!! I really like the insight that at times weight falls off in chunks rather than a simple straight line.. Again this is why I think this method is far more successful than any other method... People like you guys willing to share the obvious when those discouraged needs it... Thanks again all

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire...Give us the tools and we will finish the job. Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), BBC radio broadcast, Feb 9, 1941 It's not enough that we do…

Down that much in 7 months!!!! with or without surgery?

A couple things I have found since using this app... 1) It only works if you are HONEST with yourself... If you calorie budget is say: 1,400 calories a day. When entering your food in your diary you can manipulate it even subconsciously to show fewer than you really consumed... Don't do it... If you have a bad day, be…

I agree with Shannon... 1000 cal burned is very hard to do period, much less in a 1/2 hr of bike riding. Did you know you can change the things tracked in your food section? You should add sodium. When I did I was SHOCKED at how much sodium is in seemingly healthy foods. I also agree with others that the scale may be…

I too don't think it's a big deal either way. But from what I can tell, it looks like your workout is actually over 2 min AFTER you stop working out. This is your hearts "Recovery phase"

I've done the Body for Life plan, and it worked for me... In that plan it gives you 1 day a week to DO WHAT YOU WANT! But as you see success your "desire" for cheating goes away, so I rarely took them.... My opinion of them now is, do it when you think you need to. The world won't end, you aren't a bad person. If cheating…
