  • Some ideas to make your night less boring.... 1 - Paint yourself Green and go to the Mall and yell at everyone "HULK SMASH" 2 - Go to a grocery store and "shop for others"...find the most macho guy and put panty liners, chocolate bars and PMS meds in his cart. Or find a 90 year old couple and drop a few boxes of condoms in…
  • Tip 1...don't try to spot tone....if you are going to do weights do the entire body. Tip 2...don't be afraid to go heavy with the weights...many magazines are saying that one of the biggest mistakes you can make *especially women* is going too light Tip 3...Think about opposites....if wings are your issues work on both…
  • Starting while you have weight to lose is the best time! Initially you may see some weight gain as muscle builds, but eventually the muscle will start feeding off your fat helping to accelerate your fat loss. According to my nutritionist there are 3 parts to a balanced lifestyle, Nutrition, Cardio and Strength...each is…
  • I've never *kitten* while on acid....I'd be too afraid of seeing my manhood explode in my own hand!
  • Don't always judge the cover by it's book. My family is all overweight....but my cart is full of healthy protein, (chicken & fish), fresh & frozen fruit & vegis, whole grain minimally processed snacks, whole grain breads & cereals, low fat plain greek yogurt & cheeses, fat free milk.... But then again as a family we've…
  • My Cons 1 - glue let go and it fell apart (working with customer service to get a new one) 2 - it gave me what I call "*kitten* Time Steps". I have an hour and half commute to work parts of which are on a back road. The unit would count those as moderate exercise and steps. My Pros 1 - kept me mindful to walk more 2 - kept…
  • I bought my Trek when I was 350 pounds. LOVE IT. Go to a reputable dealer because they will put you in the right bike. I did up grade my seat (on my bike) to a gel seat. About a $40-$70 upgrade but my *kitten* has thanked me repeatedly.
  • I'm very embarrassed to say this, but one song that I have on my cardio shuffle is Cotton Eye Joe....I'm a punk & metal junkie but that song just makes me want to move!!
  • Went a couple weeks ago and got the grilled chicken classic or something like that. Not a big fan of the place! Replaced Mayo with bbq sauce and skipped the fries altogether. Still ended up being around 550 cal sandwich (white roll, 6oz chicken, slice of full fat cheese, bbq sauce & bacon slices) FYI keep the bacon & drop…
  • Well said - life's a journey!
  • Good Luck!!!
  • Don't take that literally, bless all manufacturers of dairy products...geez
  • Thanks everyone for the advice! I don't eat my "earned" calories anyway so accuracy isn't absolutely critical and won't warrant me purchasing a HRM. The fitbit is good for me, because I have a "sit on my *kitten*" job and I found out exactly how much of my day was sitting. With the fitbit I challenge myself to more steps…
  • I had a fitbit and loved it, but it broke after 3 weeks. Waiting my replacement. I never logged any cardio just downloaded at the end of the day. Not sure what HRM is.
  • My fear is I won't want to get off the trail! When I was active in my 20's this was on my bucket list...now at 40 it's back on! Not a day goes by with out some time spent day dreaming about my mecca.
  • Wait...with or without a partner???? There's a big difference there!!!! A month with a partner ... I'ld have to count the minutes without a partner...:laugh:
  • Welcome to the club...do it now...it gets harder each year that goes by!
  • I've pushed (and will push) through the cold...I could not push myself through the stomach flu.
  • Congratulations!
  • Short term....A memorial day weekend backpacking trip Mid range...100 lbs lost by labor day (at 57 down) Long term....do the Appalachian Trail end to end in 2017
  • "She turned me into a newt.....I got betta!!!" Monty Python Holy Grail
  • 1 - 16 lbs being the lightest I've been in 10 years (Since I was 30) 2 - 20 lbs will bring me up to over 75lbs in total weight loss 3 - Looking forward to spring in New England (Hiking & Mountain biking)
  • I'm sure a guy posting here isn't what's expected but with the topic - It was hard to resist taking a peek. My wife lost 160 pounds (she had gastric bypass) and she did lose her boobs. He now affectionately calls them her "Skipples" = Skin + Nipples. She tells the story much better than I but hopefully it at least made you…
  • I have open diary and I am ridiculous about making sure I log everything. I will accept any friend requests. I am faithful about maintaining under 1500 net calories per day. I eat 6-8 times per day so I am never hungry. I am always looking to learn more and to see what other people are having success with!
  • Brought a 33 gallon black trash bag full of clothes that were too big to Goodwill.
  • Hike the Appalachian Trail end to end in a single season! Target date is March - September 2017
  • Wrestling LMAO!!! I was wondering this same thing.
  • Two for me... 1 - That moment when you feel you've binge ate and realized it was 500 calories not 1500... 2 - That moment I decided I can get healthy without the need for weight-loss surgery
  • People are commenting on your "Unhealthy Choices" but even your "Healthy Choices" (Chobani) can be made healthier and cheaper! Look at the sugar content of the pre-made Chobani. Try mixing up 4oz no fat plain with 4 oz of frozen berries the night before. The juice will melt naturally sweetening the yogurt. You will be…
