I don't completely deprive myself of anything. I LOVE beer, but I know that if I drink too much or too regularly that I will sabotage myself. Sooo, my motto is, EVERYTHING IN MODERATION. Good luck!

Outrageous!!!! Can't say enough, but I don't have the words! Absolutely awesome and inspirational. Like you, I have found a love for running. I don't imagine that I will be doing any marathons, but I can see a half in my future. If it wasn't for a bathroom remodel that is sucking the life out of me I would be doing a 10…

Not sure where or when you posted, I didn't see it, or I would have responded. [/quote] I posted it on the 27th.

I got 1/2 of my September goals complete. Today my wife and I ran the Run For Your Lives zombie mud run in San Bernardino, Ca and we both survived. It was a great day, tons of fun, and a good time with my wife and sons. The second half of my goals was to win the September weight loss pool at work. This won't happen as I…

Hello Funk, 4 stone, that's about 60 lbs I think. That's fairly close to what I have lost so far, but I still have more to go. Just work at it, brother, one day at a time. Stay active, stay on this site, and be smart about your health plan and I'm sure that you'll meet your goals.

I posted a topic a few days ago and it hasn't received any feedback. Not even a, "Sucks to be you!" Maybe that is because it is pretty personal, but I thought that this would be an appropriate place. Maybe I'm off base.

Cook them quickly. Use a wok and get it really hot with a little extra virgin olive oil. Then flash cook the veggies for about 4 minutes at the most (depending on the veggies of course). If I'm cooking veggies that are quite dense like cauliflower then I will micro it first in a little water and a paper towel over it to…

Hi Melissa! Congratulations on the weight loss. Go to the Food category. There will be a subcategory that says recipes. Under this you can put in your own recipes or check out recipes. Good luck!

Current [/quote] And a Spartan race to boot?! That's cool. Spartan is one of my goals. Maybe next year.

After [/quote] Awesome work, brother!

This is me at 310 pounds pre August 2012.

It…

What a road this has been. I was over weight for over 20 years.

vegemite. Doesn't even deserve a capital letter it's so bad.

Babaganush (similar to hummus, but with steamed eggplant in stead of garbanzo beans). Refried beans with a bit of sour cream and cheese. Avocado slices with or without cottage cheese. Keep up the fight, young lady! You deserve to live to the fullest and it's great that you are reaching out with such a difficult condition.…

Hey there! First and foremost, thank you so much for your service to our country. I have the utmost respect for you. I am sure that you have heard it before, but I'd rather state what may be the obvious in order to help a brother out. Diet soda is so very bad for our bodies. It may have less calories, but it is so loaded…

Greek yogurt, tofu, chia seed, flax seed, quinoa, Ezekiel Bread. I've also discovered how to make my own bread so I know what I'm putting in my body. Kids love it too.

I was 300 plus lbs for about 15 years and still very heavy another 5 years before that. I am surprised at some of the areas that my skin is pulling back together. I can tell that it won't on my lower belly or my man-boobs. They are shrinking, but not like I would hope. My wife comments about how my butt has completely…

It will go away. I didn't think so after the first time I did it, but after a few days of walking funny, it did go away.

Cause I sweat as much as I when I do spin class.

I don't. It takes too little into consideration and it is relied on too much. I talked to my dietician yesterday and she said that according to my BMI that my target would put me at 181 lbs. I weighted 181 lbs. my junior year in high school when I was thin, ran 3 miles daily and lifted weights twice a day. It just is not…

This depends a lot on you, your goal, and your capabilities. In the gym, if I want to sweat a lot, I get on the bike. It's easier on the knees, but it burns my quads and glutes. This is interval, intense biking. I have a pretty good, sturdy treadmill at home that has a good incline. Currently I do not use it because I like…

I may be an idiot, but can someone tell me how to post pictures?

And by the way, Michael, rockin' beard!

My heart goes out to you Michael. It absolutely seems like your situation is dire. I will not give you any input about exercise, diet or health. Your condition seems to need some serious, SERIOUS professional intervention. It is my hope that you understand this and begin taking baby steps to get the help that you need. I…

Awesome, awesome, awesome! It sounds like you have hit your rock bottom and know that you must get up. My two cents is to keep it simple. Eat moderate portions of good, healthy foods (the more natural and organic the better). Drink a lot of water. Cut out as much processed foods as possible (drinks also). Exercise daily.…

Brother, you look great! Just had to get that out of the way. We are quite similar. I am 42, 6' tall, started out at 310 (the most I have weighed was 330), and I am now down to 239. It is very hard to look in the mirror and think I still look fat. Yeah, I know that I am smaller than before, but I don't see it as very…

Blindside- YES!!! Sleeping Giant is pretty amazing. Seen them twice in concert and they know how to own a crowd.

Plea for Purging, Living Sacrifice, Soul Embraced, Megadeth, Project 85, Demon Hunter, Dethklok, Austrian Death Machine, Evergreen Terrace, The Great Commission, War of Ages, Sleeping Giant, The Leaders, In the Midst of Lions...some of what haunts my playlist. \m/ HORNS UP \m/

You will make your goal, I'm sure! Please report back at the end of the month when you have done it. I have been where you are at and I know the struggle of wanting to exercise, but the body not really allowing me the range that I felt that I could do. IT WILL COME! Just keep plugging away at it.
