Actually I kinda love all of it - LOVE running, although I have no desire to become a marathon man - it's the feeling after the run that I like, the "high", and that I've accomplished something. I look forward to my run all day. I also LOVE the weights, being able to put more weight on than last time is also great for that…

Right now I'm doing weight training 2x per week, body weight on the third "weight" day (I can't get to the gym 3x per week with a day in between, so the third weight workout is only body weight). On my lifting days, I warm up with 5 km on the rowing machine, full resistance, then it's squats (45 kg today), overhead presses…

Not a downer - I'm a fan of reality (after having lied to myself for YEARS about my health...) - 30 lbs is about 13 kg, and that would put me at 87 kg. That's doable, even though the muscle I'm hoping to build might keep me from reaching that, but a good body fat % is ok too ;). As in listening to "this man" - I'm ready.…

Ok I had NO idea my food was that bad - I mean, I'm not eating BAD - quite clean actually - I just really had the impression that I was consistently at 1200 with a few days here and there where I had trouble meeting my goal for the day... And YES YES YES I would LOVE to be guided through this, and might actually BEG for…

Diary's open now - my tracking is a bit spotty during the past couple weekends, but spot-on during the weekdays, so it's probably best to look there. On my way to the gym now - gonna see if one of the trainers can walk me though a deadlift so I don't have to pay for the whole hour ;)

A TDEE of over 3200 calories??? REALLY?? That's... almost three times as much as I've been eating since January :(

This morning I weighed in at 100.2 kg - I was 105 when this pic was taken. Hoping to lose another... 5 kg-ish before I stop looking at the scale and focus on the mirror instead? BMI says I need to lose 11 more before I'm "normal", but I'm not so sure?

Blue (as in eyes, as in BLUE!!! As in, I'm jealous ;) )

Will do Angel - been nervous about posting the pics, but hey - we're all in the same boat.... ;) Thanks to everyone for the great responses too - haven't progressed to deadlifts yet (waiting for an appointment with a trainer, since I do NOT want to do them wrong...) but I'm squatting like there's no tomorrow ;)

But the love handles seem to be partly caused by the flabby skin, so I'm not sure how much is only caused by remaining excess weight, which is why I decided to ask if there's anything I can do to ACTIVELY help the problem - I whine when I have to to be patient AND I figure, while I'm working the weights anyway... ;)

Thanks for the replies everyone! @JenMc14 Great links - I think I'm already a big fan of nerdfitness :) - AND I'm going to look into pilates @DennyHodge I hadn't thought of resistance bands - great idea! @phjorg Not sure why it would be any different - but it feels different - more natural maybe? In any case, I don't have…
