There are two now. We finally got one where Biggs used to be in Eastgate. Awesome!

I'm 48. I am looking forward to feeling like that.

Congratulations! Thanks for the motivation. I just started and have a way to go. After one week though I lost 2in on waist, 1.5in in hips, 2in from thighs and 2.5 inches around my ribcage. My ultimate goal is 100lbs, but short term is to get to 233lbs, which would be 10% down from where I started last year. :-) I hope you…

I always feel weird on it, like my body parts are all over the place. lol It is better on my bad knees though.

I got the app 'couch potato to 5k'. I don't use it, but after I got it Amazon recommended 'Look Good Naked' by Steven Becker. It was a couple bucks and is kind of a weight lifting plan for beginners.

Two reasons; one to strengthen my bones to prevent osteoporosis and second to take my exercise up a notch from just walking on a treadmill a few days a week. I do a 10min warmup and then about 15-20 mins of weight training,…

I love that movie. It is goofy, but also has some really scary parts. I recently watched Willow and A Few Good Men. Kilmer, Bacon and Cruise, oh my!

CONGRATULATIONS! 50lbs is awesome. You can really see the difference. Also, congrats on being parents to a new baby! :flowerforyou:

Hello, former US Army. 4 years in the '80's. Started gaining weight with the kids and it never really left after. My knees are bad from running in combat boots. I really did not like running when I had to, but am getting into it now. Actually have started a lifting regimen to jumpstart my weightloss. <30lbs since I started…

Cinci area also. I do WW, but heard great things about MFP. Just logged my first meal. It was soooo easy! I used the scanner and was so shocked that how quick and easy to adjust how much of it I would eat so it was better. Feel free to add me. Buckeye born, US Army and Ariz for awhile, but been back for a long time.
