Yeah. I prefer to talk about "belts" instead of "pants". The last time I told a gal I was six inches smaller in the pants than i used to be, she stopped answering my phone calls.

belts dont stretch, do they? it feels like I have blazed through this second belt. it's still very new. i'd hate to think that instead of actually going doing the distance between hole 1 and 4, that the belt just stretched to my size.

For a more accurate reading, why not just dump directly on the scale?

dang. all those things seem hard. :-)

Sounds like a plan. Two weeks on, six weeks off. I'll take it until next friday, try to get in several more heavy work-outs and then take a break from it for six weeks and get back to my weight loss exercises. If this stuff has truly made me bloated with waterweight, then I might see weight drop off like most people do in…

Nicely done. And so many gals are afraid to lose weight because they think they'll lose their "friends". Doesnt seem to be the case here.

The only thing tripping me up on this is crackers. I eat a ton of whole wheat crackers and I can eat them with almost anything. I have had 2 meals today and had ten with each meal. Breakfast was 3 scramabled eggs and 10 crackers, and lunch was a cup of cottage cheese and ten crackers. Like a true caveman, I like to eat…

the national guard has the same rule as the Army: http://www.nationalguard.com/guard-basics/eligibility-requirements The only two organizations I can find that would take me now are the Navy Reserves and the Coast Guard Reserves.

Here's the reply I just received: "Thank you for your interest in the United States Army. Based on the information provided, it appears you exceed the allowed age range for enlistment purposes. The only exceptions are prior service and those who hold professional medical/scientific degrees and licenses. The maximum…

I have gained some weight this week, but I dont care because my time in the 3 mile went down, my time in the 2 mile went down and I increased the number of times I could do a certain amount of weight in arm curls, military press and bench press before exhaustion. Those things matter to me so much more than what the scale…

See ur doctor and get ur blood tested. I saw the benefits of a multi-vitamin too, but my doc put me on B12, D3 and Fish Oil too. Seems to be even better. Will no for sure in 10 weeks when my blood is tested again

another lesson for me with this is that I simply can NOT cook food for several days. I tried to cook all day saturday and put things in the fridge so meals would be easy all week. Ended up eating what should have been 5-6 days of food in 3 days. like salmon cakes. I made 4 cakes at 300 calories each on saturday night. I…

dont look at it like trying to lose 50 lbs. look at it like trying to lose 1 lb, fifty times. each pound should be its own victory.

Yikes. Ended up at about 3K of calories for the day and was 4 lbs heavier this morning than I was yesterday. Bad day. Back on schedule though. Ate well today and had one of my best workouts ever.

Mine is 236. I was 195 when i graduated high school. During my first yr at college, I knew I put on some weight. But I was stunned when I stepped on the scales at my parents house and saw I had gained 41 lbs in a yr. I swore I would never get any bigger than that. Jump ahead 18 yrs and I was 72 lbs above that number. I've…

thanks all. amazing how fast someone can get good advice here. this wide, wide world of the internets is an amazing place.

I am 100% podcast listener. It's where I get my news/sports/entertainment fix.

REMINDER!!!!!! This is to remind myself to add some fields below the picture for next time. At 308, I wore a 48 in pants and had a time of 60:00 in the 3 mile at 255, I wear a 43 in pants and have a time of 45:50 in the 3 mile

I just took some sheets off the paper towels, went and weighed myself and I didnt lose a single LB. I think your theory has flaws. :-)

Am I the last person in the world to hear about the horizontal shirt rule?

Thanks all. I guess I see it when I look at the two pics side by side. But I was just focusing on the flaws of the current pic before. I forgot to compare it to the starting point. And yes, my head/face no longer have a nice, round form to them. It's almost egg-shaped. Never thought using the words "egg" and "head"…

I knew someone who bought a LB of peanut butter each time they lost a pound. They used the jars to build a pyramind in their house that was always a constant reminder of what they lost. I think the theory was that Peanut Butter is about the same density as the human body so 100 lbs of PB should be about the same size as a…

I'm not even sure how to PM on this site yet. But if I did, here's some diet/fitness pick-up lines I would consider using: 1 - This fruit salad I am eating is beautiful. Would you like to see a picture of my banana? 2 - I try to do 45 minutes of cardio each day, but I only did 40 at the gym earlier. Do you think you could…

I can safely say I have not been the victim of unwanted sexual advances on this site... . . . . . . . . . . . sadly.

what? there's more of them? my store only has this one. I need to find a better place to do my shopping.

terrible, terrible night. i have all kinds of ideas about how to redo my bathroom now that i spent so much time in there.

i am pretty strict on the midnight rule with both food and exercise. its the only way from keeping myself from trying to juke the stats. My rule used to be "at least 45 minutes of exercise per day". Sometimes I got to 11:58 or 59 before I reached that number, but I was never going to let myself steal from the next day.

Bump. And I still feel sick. NEVER again using this Muscle Marinade stuff. Any alternatives?

With my order, the supplement company included one serving of something called "Muscle Marinade". It's designed to be taken before a workout and it supposed to help you workout harder and longer. I will admit I did have a lot of energy and my muscles didnt get at all tired doing my normal workout, but it made me so bloated…

LaJauna, what are the actual numbers for those percentages? I currently shoot for 75/75/150 for C/F/P. I am thinking about dropping to 50 carbs.
