I've been dutifully logging for almost 530 days straight. Started in May 2013 at 263 (total guess since I didn't want to know the real starting weight). The problem is that my weight plateaued at 215-ish the last 6 months and in the last month, I've been ticking up. And the last few mornings (granted we're talking day…

I'm currently in a funk myself. Last month, I caught a glimpse of 210.something and I was stoked being that close to Onederland, I was giddy like a schoolgirl. Fast forward four weeks later and pile on: * Work stress * Working/vacation during the 4th of July * Vegas for work the week after the 4th I've logged faithfully…

Just took my one year progress pics. When I took my first progress pics after 14 lbs down, 6 weeks into these changes, the result was the pic on the left. Fast forward 12 months later and over 375 continuous days on MFP and this is me today. It's amazing that total weight loss is only 36 lbs in the last 12 months, but I am…

Feel free to add me. My friends list needs to be cleaned up since some people have fallen off the wagon.

1. Follow up sleep study showed I no longer have sleep apnea. 2. Life insurance denial was changed to approved status because of all the positive lifestyle changes and the numbers were all normal. 3. Feel great about myself because of how I look, how I feel physically and how I feel mentally about doing this for myself. I…

Finished my first 10k today. I missed my goal time that I set, and it was ugly at the end, but, hey, I finished 6.2mi. A year ago, I don't think I would've been confident enough to say that. Also, I saw the post-race pics after the race my brother posted on FB. Running has gotten my legs looking pretty defined, which…

I am still sleeping with my CPAP since I find it more comforting that my airways will be open the entire night. Can you post or send me a message with the details on the CPAP pillow? I travel for work a bit and I'd rather pack a pillow than packing my mask, tubes, machine, etc. Thanks.

I don't know why I can't edit/update my original post, but here's an update: 1. I got the copy of my report in the mail today and my AHI for my follow up study was 0.12. An AHI index less than 5.0 and sleep apnea diagnosis is ruled out. So, officially, no sleep apnea. 2. I tried to sleep without my CPAP that first night…

I just got my FT7 this past weekend. I'm training for a 10k at the end of April, and I love the fact that it syncs with the treadmills at the gym. I love seeing a good burn. I was on the fence between the FT4 (gray/black) and FT7 (red/black). At the end of the day, vanity took over since I thought the red/black was a lot…

Keep at it, bud. And make sure you take progress pics. Even if I have a month with little scale movement, the pics paint a different picture and give me the motivation I need to keep at it. Best of luck to you.

38 in a few weeks. Add me if you'd like!

Daddy Daughter Dance last 2013 vs. 2014. Down about 42 lbs from then and looking less "jowl-y" and feeling a ton better.

Still work to be done, but am happy with results so far.

Don't mind me, just patting myself on the back here. Keep at it folks and take those progress pics!

Hi Johanna, Welcome to the group. Here's an update to my psoriasis status. I was mostly clear for most of the summer, which was awesome, since this was the most clear I have been in so many years. However, since it's turned from shorts weather to pants weather, my ps has started to come back in the usual spots full-force.…

I've had my FitBit One since early July. I am a numbers kind of guy and it was eye-opening how little I move during a "normal" day sitting at a desk and going to meetings. It's not uncommon for me to get home after work with less than 3,000 steps. So now knowing the "numbers" I started doing the little things like parking…

McD breakfast (sausage, egg and cheese McMuffin, hash browns, large coffee with 4 cream combo and top it off with a $1 sausage burrito). I had that for breakfast at least twice a week. LOVED it. now, about 8 weeks in, I've probably had it twice (minus the sausage burrito). I don't miss it as much, but damn do I still love…

Lately I've been making this ~ 200 calorie smoothie: 2 cups Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk, Vanilla 1 medium sized banana, frozen (usually throw bananas that are beyond ripe in the freezer for this purpose) 1 cup Costco frozen mixed berries Hit the spot for me on a hot, humid day like today.

Best of luck to you! I am cautiously optimistic, and at the same time, really excited. I have not seen my skin like this in years. I have some of the patch areas that are "bubbled" which is more like a goose bump type texture, but that's the most clearing I've had in years. Even some other skin areas that didn't get sun…

So I originally posted this question to the forum and didn't get any replies. I am now at the start of my seventh week into watching my diet, and I have to tell you, I am AMAZED with the results. I had very little expectations aside from much-needed weight loss, but as of now, I am a firm believer that my nearly 7+ years…

* Up until two years ago, I was the weird Asian guy at Chinese or sushi restaurants that couldn't use chopsticks so I used a knife and fork. * Each time I weigh myself and I'm down from last time, I have to sing the first few lyrics to "Eye of the Tiger". Rising up, back on the street / Did my time, took my chances / Went…
