There's no substitute. Not for the hard stuff. I seriously love chocolate and just have to eat it in moderation. I mean, if I had a choice between having all of the universe's mysteries revealed to me in a glorious light or the ability to eat unlimited amounts of chocolate without gaining weight I'd think about it...and…

^^ This. I tuned in last night. A man that weighed 300-something pounds lost 20 pounds in a week...and was told that he would have "pulled a higher number". That just seems wrong.

I'm a man of a certain age too. Feel free to add me.

Congrats!

We have a digital scale and it will fluctuate based upon its location in the room!! I tend to weight myself 3 times (in the same spot in the room each time) to be sure that the reading is accurate.

^^ What she said.

You can add me if you want.

When you ridicule the car parked across the street as "monstrously hideous" and then remember that it's your uncle's new car...and he's standing right beside you. Ha!

I feel that because the Godfather 1 and 2 are in a class by themselves. So, excluding those two, I'll go with Goodfellas.

My goals are to get down to 165 pounds, take 2 inches off of my waist, consistently keep my sodium consumption under 2,000 mg, and to be able to run at 6 mph for 4 minutes...without feeling like I am going to die.

I love Chicago and Charlotte. Chicago just has a great vibe, great food, and the architecture is nice. Charlotte is super-clean, friendly, and also has a great vibe.

Looney Tunes, Herculoids, and Transformers. Also Batman the Animated Series.

@ Dubikr, I am trying to get cardio in 4 times a week. Weekends are easy. Weekdays, not so much. I need to be better about that. @ Davidbass, That's great that you completed a marathon! The Iron Man contests have always impressed me. It seems like one of the more grueling things that a person can do.

I'm in PA.

I was 8. I wanted to be The Fonz. Yeah, I'm that old. Ha!

@ Vhuber, What's your ultimate fitness goal?

My college Economics professor. He made me realize my potential.

@ riveraphx, Who is your celebrity inspiration physique?

Feel free to add me.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to misquote any action figures that you currently own...and still play with. Ha!

I forgot this one from Rocky 4: Rocky beats the genetically-engineered, steroid-taking Russian...in Russia...on Christmas Day. In doing so, Rocky avenges Apollo Creed's death and single-handedly ends the Cold War with the "Everyone Can Change" speech. I repeat, Rocky Balboa ended the Cold War by himself! Ha!

Blue Diamond Nut Chips. A serving is 14 but I usually eat 7 just to take the edge off.

I looked back at the age that I was when I looked the best and said, "That's the weight I'm going for."

You can do this. You just need to be sure to take one positive step a day towards your goal. That step might be going 10 minutes more on the treadmill, turning down a dessert that you want, or something like that. Remember, one positive a day.

Moderation. I have a few foods that I am going to indulge in but I will do so with a mind on how much of them I eat. I will go over my calories probably but I will keep the damage to a minimum. If I don't keep an eye on how much of the "decadence" I eat, things could get ugly. By the way, I love eggnog but have decided…

Hi Cortezpj, I don't intend upon focusing too much on the goals (famous last words) but I need to have them in place. I need to have something there to strive for. But yes, the bottom line is having a healthier overall lifestyle. And that is the ultimate goal. I am currently trying to reign in my sodium. The MFP guideline…

This morning, my coworker (who is a really good baker) came into my office with a chocolate cheesecake brownie. I told her, "No thanks. I'm good." She persisted and I reiterated, "No, really. Get out." She laughed (we're good friends) and took the brownie away. I don't think that she was sabotaging me or anything. She…

I bought my first Honda Civic brand new in 2000. I sold it with 240,000 miles on it. The only issue I ever had with it was the replacing the distributor cap at 180,000 miles. Needless to day, I would recommend the Civic or the Accord (which I own now).

I don't know how long you've been together but depending upon how long you guys have been together, he just might not be there yet. Also, he might have an issue verbalizing his feelings. If he treats you well, you might want to relax and give him a chance to get to where you are. However, depending upon your age and how…
