Wouldn't that be "fortunately"? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Purchased a 1-pound 10-ounce bag of G.H. Cretors Chicago Mix Cheese & Caramel popcorn from Costco. Ate a good percentage of it last night. Purchased a bag of the limited-edition Lay's Sriracha potato chips this week. Ate 2 servings. Oh well, extra 20 miles on the bike.

"Where the Red Fern Grows" and "Old Yeller" destroyed me as a kid. Never been able to watch them again.

Chips - I can't eat them in moderation. It's like they're my gateway drug, flipping the Bad Eating switch in my brain, and it takes a ton of willpower to turn that switch off. Better not to have them at all.

Be patient! Slow and steady wins the race. It's tempting to cut your calories back to the bare minimum and exercise like a madman to blast the weight off, but it's not really sustainable in the long term, and your body will slowly force you to give up.

When you've decided on your car of choice, order the New Car Price Report from Consumer Reports. Follow the tips they give you, and you will get a good deal. And based on personal experience, I highly recommend the RAV4. They are very reliable vehicles.

Kashi. Pick your flavor.

Hop on the Stairmaster for roughly 30-35 minutes at level 10 (out of 20). You'll burn 500+ calories and feel like your heart is ready to burst out of your chest.

1) Onions - Raw 2) Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes 3) Coffee Mate Peppermint Mocha Sugar Free 4) Grape Tomatoes Lunches and dinners vary, but breakfasts are usually scrambled eggs with sauteed onions and sun-dried tomatoes, with sugar-free creamer in the coffee. And I guess I just like grape tomatoes.

I once played Gran Turismo 5 while walking briskly on the treadmill in our home. Eventually I fell off and knocked a big hole in the drywall with my heel. On the stair climber at the gym I do the standard MP3 player thing while occasionally glancing at whatever nonsense the TVs are tuned to. No falls so far.

I'm 6'6", 250-260, and spent last year commuting roughly 80-100 miles a week on a Trek 7100. Here's a few things I learned: 1) Guys our weight tend to break the spokes on "normal" bike wheels, especially the back wheel. Be ready to possibly spend extra for a beefier wheel. 2) Be sure you have one of those ergonomic seats,…
