  • I don't eat throughout the day and eat a big dinner when I get home (around 1000 calories), then a snack in the evening. I lost 30 lbs along the way. I'm in maintenance now and get 2150 calories, which is basically 2 meals. I don't care for breakfast and after I work out, I cant eat food (around lunch time) so I start to…
  • I was doing 15 push ups at the top of the hour and 15 sit ups at the bottom of the hour, each hour while I was working...Every week I would add a rep or two on to it and continue. It seemed to get me ready for my workouts when I started again.
  • Read on only if you have a Samsung phone.....I bought Samsung Level Pros. I love them, especially for running. They are wireless, come with different sized ear bud attachments, and if you have a Samsung phone, there is an app to manage the sound equalizer, notifications, etc. The battery will last me about 7 days if I use…
  • Logging accurately has been huge for me. I'm on the same journey you are on. I'm 39 and have dropped about 25 lbs with 5 more to go.

That is their reaction, something that I cannot control. They can unfollow or unfriend. I post a lot of pics of my fiancé, my kids, my weekends, my workouts, my…
  • I lost my wife to cancer about two years ago. I had two year old twins at the time along with two older step children and of course life in general didn't stop either. I cant take the stress away but I can tell you to take care of yourself in the process. You can't control it all. If you could, none of this would have…
  • Feel free to add me if you'd like!
  • We bought the Kinect this Christmas along with Your Shape: Fitness Evolved. We have worked out on it nearly everyday this New Year, and I have to say it is giving me a really good workout each time. It allows you to set up a profile with your age and weight, has a calorie counter based on that information, and there are a…
  • I dont get up that early or anything, but I have found that eating little snacks like 90 calorie breakfast bars (one at 10 and maybe one at two PM) helps me a TON!! I dont know if it will work for you but it has been a lifesaver for me!
