Okay, Im ready to commit again! gotta get ready for bikini season!! (and by that I mean in good enough shape so all the pretty girls in bikinis don't laugh at me!!)

Heck yeah!!

You're awesome, but I try to tell you that every day! congrats! Job well done!

What a great story! Your dedication and success is nothing short of awesome. You are truly a wonderful person, and a great inspiration to a lot of us. You are on my FL, so I see your work ethic daily, but this is a true indicator to those other people of what will power, and energy you have put into your transformation. I…

Egg whites, salmon, tilapia, chicken black beans and rice,.... just about anything!!

You look fantastic, and have done a wonderful job of doing it right. Congratulations to you and your daughter for also inspiring other people. Thank you for sharing with us, and keep up the great work.

My ENTIRE friends list is hot motivating chicks! I am soooo lucky!

I actually do very little pure cardio. I try to do most of my weightlifting as a circuit, moving from one station to another to get my heart rate up, rather than jog, run, etc. My old bones and joints won't take much of it, and I find I need two to three days recovery after a long bike ride. Swimming is about the only pure…

There are also different ways to train body parts to achieve different goals. The conventional thinking has always been lifting heavy with low reps can increase muscle size. While lower weights, and higher reps, can provide a less bulky, but more defined look.

You have the opposite problem of most people who lose weight. usually those people find themselves always cold. Sounds like you got your metabolic rate revved up and it is working overtime!!

Fishhook LIKE!! You're very........limber and athletic! Seriously, nice job! Looking very good, keep up the good work!

It shouldn't change your overall weight until you relieve yourself. But, depending on the size, it can create some balance problems, making you front heavy, causing the scale to be inaccurate!!!!

Great job! An inspiration for sure! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

I'm no Dr. but i am also no stranger to knee pain. I know nothing of the knee falling asleep, but I would venture to say that is more positional than anything else. Maybe associated with your back. As for the clicking, sounds like a cartilage problem, and basically since you stated it prevents full movement, I would take…

it pretty much depends on the item you are buying. Most of the major stores, such as Publix, Costco, Sams etc., get their store brands from brand name manufacturers. They just put a private label on it. Sometimes the private label specifications are not as exacting as the brand name item, sometimes it is exactly the same.…

Actually,, my DR diagnosed it years ago, (probably 9 or 10) and I had the patches for a while, and now am on the inject able. At the time there were no TV commercials about it, and I actually had to go on the internet to research it. It was the first time I had ever heard of it. While at another Dr. ( a pulminoligist, for…

I've been on the injected Depa Testosterone for several years now. Like anything else, it is not an immediate change, but rather over time the Testosterone will build up. Overall, you should feel more energetic, and notice a greater benefit from your workouts. Its not a cure all, quick fix. You won't be superman tomorrow,,…

If I am eating out, and a waitress calls me Honey, Sweetie, or any other such name, she has just discounted her tip by half! I cannot stand when servers do that. As for at home, the occasional use of it is okay, but not as a replacement for someones name!

Severly Arthritic knees here!!! Need bilateral knee replacement surgery, but Dr. won't do it until I lose about 100#. In addition, I have bulging disc in my back which can make me almost crippled at sometimes. I cannot run, walk, or do any other leg activities. I can ride a bike, but I only do it when i have someone ride…

I agree with you. If the scale could see the picture we see, it would agree too. Looking great, and you don't need the scale to tell you that!

Very cool! I enjoy the show, so I hope you get picked!

Sometimes, when out on the road, you are forced to go to a fast food location. I always choose Wendy"s and get two grilled chicken sandwiches, and a plain baked potato. Throw away the bread from the sandwiches, and eat the grilled breast, with the lettuce and tomato, and just add ketchup to the baked potato. It works for…

A friend will help you move.... a GOOD friend will help you move a body.....

Altamonte Springs here! (north of Orlando!)

My Iphone! there's gotta be an app I can download!

When I started this latest and last attempt at getting healthy, I made a commitment to only weigh myself every 60 days. I would concentrate on all the other factors that come with a healthy lifestyle..(clothes fitting better, getting stronger, etc., etc..) I have more than 100 lbs to lose, so this is a real departure from…

PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer here. I stopped teaching about ten years ago, as it was a hobby for me (instructors used to be able to dive for free off the boats in south Florida.) The instructors insurance got too expensive to continue paying for just a hobby, so I gave up teaching and only dove recreational. I've been…

I think you have a great plan. When I started this time, I decided that I would not be a slave to the scale. You see, in the past, if I had a bad reading on the scale, I would tend to "blow off" the rest of the day, vowing to start again "tomorrow." Pretty soon, you are never starting again. This time around, I decided I…

Hey neighbor! I don't belong to any gym here either, but I thought I'd chime in to say hello since we're neighbors!

I worked with Harry Dong, and Felicia Titsworth!
