I've heard from many sources that if you don't relax once in a while, you'll eventually jump off the wagon and run away. So personally I don't sweat it if I'm off one or two times a month. I take care not to stray TOO far from the wagon, but I pay attention to what I'm eating, what it's adding to my goal, and then the next…

Did your Dr make any changes or recommendations? Were you still snoring/choking?

Do you think your 'mass' is muscle or fat? If it's muscle, then you should play basketball. If not, squats will build muscle, and the exercise will help tame the 'masses'.

On a vaguely unrelated note...I understand that 7 out of 10 men are uncomfortable eating a banana in public. Huh.

If I was 5'1", I'd want to be taller. Heck...I'm 6'2" and I wish I was taller. (Dreams of being 6'4") Oh, I see now. You wanted to hear from other ladies. Fine. Be exclusionary. Phhbbtt.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it!

UGH!! I lost 26 pounds between Jan and Apr. Then I kinda relaxed. Gained 5 pounds back in a snap. So now I'm back on the decline. I hate how slow it goes. I hate how boring it is, how flavorless, how tedious. Gaining is so much faster, flavorful and exciting. :)

That's kinda awesome and funny!

I'm guessing you're going to be well on your way to that goal very quickly. Make sure you're drinking enough water, and (very important) make sure you're eating your burned calories to hit your daily goal. Didn't make sense at first to me, but I swear by it now.

Don't sweat Disneyland. You're not going to do that every day, are you? Enjoy the park, enjoy your vacation, do your best, but don't beat yourself up if you slip. Just get back on the horse as soon as you can and pick up from where you left off.

Put together a resume, detailing your education, work experience, and if that doesn't fill a whole page, include what your employment interests and goals are. Look at maybe taking a course at a college or something (evening maybe) and network with others, say you're looking for work and what kind of work. Get your name out…

Drop the WW. Lose the points and points plus. Use MFP and figure out your calories. I'm doing SO much better now with the weight loss.

My name is Sean. Middle name is David. As a baby, I was rotund. My father wanted to call me Chunky, and he mixed it with Sean. Shunky. And then added my middle name. ShunkyDave.

It's my understanding that your body heals from both sickness AND from muscle injury/breakdown while you sleep. And never while you're awake. So yeah, napping after a workout would be awesome! If I only had the time....

Would you expect to get *anything* other than you look fantastic?!

I would comment with a suggestion, but your diary is not visible to non-friends. I'll add you and see what's going on.

Umm..never had a period.

Certainly an idea to pursue!

Yeah, but since there are more Aussies than there are Kiwis, and my mother was Aussie, I will always think this dish is Aussie.

Makeup that looks like makeup.

Profound and insightful answers. Thank you everyone. I'm going to be printing these out and sharing them, along with posting them around my office and kitchen. Such motivation and support is priceless. In case anyone wants more, I'm on twitter, @shunkydave, and facebook, http://www.facebook.com/ShunkyDave. And then you'll…

276. Nothing lost, nothing gained.

I started Tuesday. Too late?

You should be sure to update your status here when you make a new post there. Include a link, and then all your friends will be able to read it when you update it. [adding you as a friend now] --Sean

I'm a dumb animal and went out and bought a bunch of winter gear so I could walk when it was 3 degrees. I kept telling myself I was burning more because my body was fighting to maintain my body temperature, but I don't know if that really happened. I've tried to run a few times but it seems my body has forgotten how to…

This makes a lot of sense. I know I'm not engaged non-stop like I am when walking. But my heart rate isn't dropping during the quick switches between exercises. I'm starting to feel like I'm making a whole lot of squawk when today was just my first day on 30DS. Sorry for all the noise people. This is a fat guy reacting to…

For those who are asking, I'm walking 2.8 miles, 40-45 min, and it's been between 3 and 30 degrees for the past two months. I started walking when I weighed an even 300 pounds. I've now lost 23, and am continuing the trend. I was looking to the 30-day shred as a way to cut down on the time spent. I live less than 3 miles…

OK, I went back and looked again, I burned 300+, not 200+. Still....I was sure I was burning upwards of 800 cals or something.

Thank you everyone. I'm saving my pennies for an HRM now. I needed to save up to get this sadistic video and some weights. Now that I have this, I'll continue to assault my body and record it under circuit training until then. BTW--perhaps a fit person really does burn 150-250 calories doing this. I'm not a fit person. I'm…
