  • When I first started my diet the weekly Cheat Day was something I really enjoyed and looked forward to. I feel like it kept me sane as I weened myself off all the bad food that I loved. As time went on I splurged less and less as I felt like I spent half the next week getting back to where I started. Nowadays, it's an…
    in Cheating one day out of a two week period Comment by Sporin71 August 2014
  • Me. Though everyone pretty much everyone in my family is fat so there wasn't a lot of healthy living and eating modeling going on at home. Choosing to quit after-school sports and work nearly full time in HS at the local pizza place was a fork in the rode where I made a poor choice.

  • Sometimes I eat them, sometimes I just let them help me stay under my total number. It really depends on what I'm doing that day.

    in 100 Pounds Gone... Again Comment by Sporin71 February 2014
  • I started out at 423 and am following the calorie guidelines of the app (2550), minus a few hundred each day. I think this is reasonable at our size as we try to maximize healthy weight loss during the early months of our diet (when your body will shed the fastest in my experience). My body is responding VERY well to this…
    in Morbidly obese... Comment by Sporin71 February 2014
  • Started today, hit my highest weight ever this morning and decided that there's no time like the present. I'm off to the local Rec Center this morning to get a family membership and my first workout in.
