That is awesome! I couldn't imagine having to lose that much weight. I bet you are an inspiration to those around you.

I'll make my post short. Don't listen to advice. Deep down you know what you need to do. You just need to do what is right for you. Here are a few starters. 1. Drink more water 2. Go on a walk on an empty stomach 3. Eat better (ask yourself "will this help me or hurt me?") * don't diet, every day just try and pick one…

Kimchi. When I first tried it I really didn't like it, but since my wife has been buying it more often Its really grown on me. I think I eat more than her now. Just a great thing to eat for breakfast with a kick. I usually eat it with about a half cup of jasmine rice and an egg. I don't feel hungry most of the day because…

That is about as good advice as you can give. If you know you are doing the right things to help you lose weight, or to get you physically where you want to go then don't worry so much about the numbers, just do it.

I think possibly getting rid of the scale could help. I know it sounds simple, but it could at least keep you from judging yourself by a number. I look at that stupid thing way too much too.Talking to a professional will do some good aswell. If you are worried about getting "fat" would you possibly enjoy doing weight…

It really depends on what you enjoy. If you don't like going to the gym you most likely wont stick with it. If you don't enjoy running, again, you most likely wont stick with it. Play around with different routines and see what you enjoy. Youtube has some awesome workouts that don't always feel that they are one. Dancing,…

Keep working on it! Just remoind yourself that this is the new lifestyle you are living. You are doing good!! It took me 4 months of working out 4-6 times a day just to lose about 27 lbs. I went an entire month and only lost 3 lbs. It was very frustrating, but then next month I lost almost 9. Sometimes I think your body,…

felt good today. I needed a good challenge thank you :)

Injuries related to exercise usually occur because you don't warm up properly. Also, after a workout your muscles are loose so stretching them out will help you with your flexibility and muscle aches. There are a lot of benefits of the two.

I was on the fence about this issue, but my wife brought up an interesting point. What if a woman who had always been one, had broader shoulders similar to a man, was tall lets say 6'8'' and professionally lifted weights. Would you say it isn't "fair" that this girl compete against the other women that were shorter and…

I've recently added yoga to my weekly training. I have been doing a strength yoga workout when I feel extra soar or after a difficult cardio workout to try and increase my flexibility and help me work on breathing exercises. I don't recall who suggested this to me, but here is the link. I haven't been able to do the full…

Like the others I would say it depends on what you are doing to help you increase your speed. In addition to class I usually do another 2 days of kickboxing workouts online. A lot of them focus on punching, but speed kicking, for instance doing cardio for 30 minutes then do 15 second front kicks each side, 15 second…

^ this. Although you do look good in the bikini. wear it and have fun :)

That is a great step in the right direction. 7 flights of stairs can be a challenge just don't do it if you buy 2 weeks worth of groceries all at once haha. Regardless you have my support :)

This is what I do when I make something at home. It is just more accurate. http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php This is the one I use. It is also nice because it points out the good and the bad for recipes.

I lack abs of steel and this could help with that. haha. I'm in. I'm also doing the 30 day crunches. so I'll just do both. I could use a good leg and ab challenge. Kick some butt guys and gals!

If you can find cereal brands that have less than 6 grams of sugar and 5 grams or more of fiber you'll be doing pretty good. A lot of cereals advertise being healthy, but you have to look at the nitty gritty. I personally love to eat oats and add cinnamon, raisins, strawberries or blueberries, and a dab of honey. I prefer…
-
I would just say it helps you be aware of what you are consuming. If you go over sugar because you have a banana or a bunch of fruit I wouldn't worry. If those sugars are from highly processed foods, cereal, sloppy joes or other foods with lots of processes sugar I would try and cut it down. It all depends on where it…

I was always interested in mythology and Tiamat has an interesting story of splitting heaven and earth. I just liked the name and the association of a powerful beginning and end. Something I would like to be associated with, a strong presence although I don't know if I quite live up to that just yet haha.

I practice WTF TKD Palgwe forms. I'm currently a 3rd kup. Should be testing here in the next month. Right now I'm focusing on filling all of the gaps in my notes so I can start practicing all of it to make it more natural to test for Black when the time comes.

You were so close to your goal weight awesome! Oh and I just don't want to stop working on my weight until it is my ultimate goal weight and you guys are keeping me accountable. :) Please let me use you to reach my goal a bit longer ;)
-
SW: 207 CW: 200.6 I can't believe I lost almost 7 lbs this month that's nuts. I must be doing something right. I was shy of my goal by about a pound, but I was pretty darn close so I'm happy. Round 3 anyone? Heck, lets just keep going until all of this unwanted weight is gone haha. If so 4 week goal weight will be 195 by…

I'm really not picky and I'll eat just about anything. I don't really care for eggplant, but I bet there would be recipes I would still try with it in it. Coconut is something that I really didn't like as a kid but Its starting to grow on me. oh and tuna only belongs in sandwiches any pasta with tuna is usually gross.
-
I'll give this a go and see how it goes thanks! Thanks for the tips everyone. I generally have used traditional stretches over the years and just have not gotten much results. I can still kick face high, but I need to stretch out quite a bit before I am at full capacity.
-
I think I'll have to steal this one haha.
-
What the heck I'll give it a shot. I'll start tonight and see if I can walk tomorrow haha.
-
I'm always looking to add new friends and support. How else am I going to brag about my amazing cooking skills? =D Keep your head up guys and if you want I'll give you a little encouragement as I log daily (with an occasional missed day). Keep working at it!

I didn't change much this week either. last week was 201.8 and this week is 201.6 Although I am very close to my original goal I'm almost at my first benchmark. then I'll aim for 189 until I hit my ultimate goal weight of 170. I found my old basic training documents that has some of the PT test results and apparently I was…

Haha That is me too. Speaking of which I need to go wash my workout clothes so I can get them dirty again tomorrow :p
