My favourite quote on this subject by English humorist and science fiction author Douglas Adams: "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

You can get a pair of dumbbells for the cost of a months membership to one of those hostile, smelly gyms! Loads of good guides on youtube and dedicated bodybuilding sites for weight routines for newbies.

Holy cow! Can't believe you put so much muscle on in such a short amount of time. I've been lifting for 5 months now and I'm really disappointed in the gains I've made. Do you have any advice? Diet? Supplements? Weight training schedule? Tell us your secrets!!

heuvos rancheros! I got the idea from from favourite TV show "Breaking bad". Jesse makes his gf a couple of fried eggs, dumps them in a soft tortilla and squeezes some salsa on top. wrap it up and you're good to go. I usually poach the eggs and use low-cal wraps but they're still delicious!

I don't get it. I always felt that a Woman's beauty comes from her essence, her personality. I've spent time with some gorgeous plus-sized women and it never would have crossed my mind to comment on their weight. My most humiliating experience happened last year, I met up with an old friend I hadn't seen in years for a few…

Lol. I still eat at McDonalds regularly. I've found that if I log my food, eat a modest healthy breakfast and lunch I can still enjoy a big mac and fries after work. Honestly, It was the thought of giving up burgers that put me off dieting for so many years. I didn't realise that you can still eat what you love to eat,…

I decided to only tell friends and family. It became impossible to avoid the subject at work since I lost a goodly amount of weight and they keep asking me how I did it. They seem genuinely surprised when I tell them it was counting calories and exercise! Everyone wants a miracle cure.

Don't get discouraged by a binge. The other weekend I fell off badly and has a 5 day eating marathon. I gained 7 pounds in 5 days! This gave me an incentive to work harder and stick to my diet, 10 days later I lost not only the 7 pounds but another 4 pounds on top. I hate ellipticals! I only work out at home on my…

I went shopping for chocolate eggs for my niece and nephew yesterday. Wasn't expecting to be so sorely tempted by the display! They've come a long way in egg technology. White chocolate eggs, infused with strawberry stripes, stuffed with fudge and toffee. Sunday is going to be tough.

I learned a great ab routine in the army. It requires a partner. You lie on the floor on your back with your legs in the air, feet together. Your partner stands over you, grabs your legs and throws them to the floor. Your objective is to stop your feet hitting the floor. every so often (and without warning!) your partner…

what an incredible transformation! My "before" weight/body shape was similar to yours, I'm 67 pounds down with 33 left to lose. How do I get to your "after" physique? What's your training regimen? Do you supplement?
-
One of my main reasons for deciding to get back in shape (67 pounds lost , 33 left to lose) was a skinny friend telling me that he never feels uncomfortable in the summer heat (unlike fat old me!). Now it's winter and I'm freezing cold, he never warned me about that!
-
I'm sorry to say I was one of those people! For years I accepted my ever expanding waistline as a consequence of getting older and thought of dieting as steamed vegetables and fish. No more junk food forever. I thought, what's the point of looking good if I'm going to be miserable? It wasn't till I found this site and…

have you thought about getting some exercise equipment for your home? I have had it with gyms and running (too much effort) but my stationary bike has been a godsend. I use it every other day whilst watching tv. On the other days I use my dumbbells for strength training. As for dieting, you don't have to eliminate those…

Calorie and Fat wise, McD's is way better than Burger king. I still eat there all the time as I'm addicted. I've found a way to weave it into my diet. If I have a modest breakfast and lunch I can have a Big Mac, Filet o fish and hamburger for dinner and still come in under my calories and fat intake for the day. No fries…

I've been dieting for a few months now and I've fallen off the wagon several times (always the weekend!). Don't know about you guys but once a binge has started, it's like I'm incapable of stopping it, like a runaway train of gluttony! I think resisting that initial urge is the key to beating the binge.
-
You look fantastic, great job! I sympathize with your predicament though, I'm in a similar situation. I've dropped 56 pound in 4 months , 44 pounds still to lose. People keep commenting on my new appearance but I can't see it. I still feel bloated and uncomfortable and when I see my reflection I look just the same as i…

I'm sure the health nuts wouldn't agree, but I find a couple of cups of strong coffee in the morning is all i need to give me the energy for my morning work-out. An hour a day is plenty by the way.

The manufacturers are playing it very safe with those weight limits. I've been considerably over my bike's weight limit. (a reebok lifecycle) with no problems. A stationary bike at home is great if walking/swimming/gym is too much of a pain. Couple it with a big screen tv and a favourite tv show (something exciting!) and…

6'3" guy start weight : 322 current weight: : 267 aiming for : 210 Hi big fellas and ladies who like big fellas! Been using this site for a few weeks after hitting a plateau and I'd like to say what a big help it's been hearing from others in the same situation as me. Never dieted before and I've never been on this kind of…

The feeling of shame as i walked out of the outsize mens fashion shop, clutching my bags filled with enormous clothing. Never again!

I feel for you. I've only been using this site for a few weeks. I found it in desperation after losing 3 1/2 stones and plateau-ing, it's been a big help reading these message boards and hearing from other people in the same boat as me. Despite several people commenting on how much weight i've lost, I can't see it. I still…
