I've lost 140, still have another 50 to go. You can do it. Just focus on the small goals, not on the big picture.

Realized that I had an addiction issue. I had replaced God in my heart with food and decided to reverse the order. I still need renewing daily, but I use MFP to track my exercise and calories. I made up my mind that I was going to do this and I have made progress but I am not at my goal yet. You just have to make it a…

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I still find it hard to accept complements on the weight loss because I don't want to get complacent ever. Nick Saban once said about success, "that's the paradox success, once you stop to enjoy it, you stop having it." I know that eventually I will get to my GW, but I don't want to let…

Thank you! I always tell people that my daughter get her looks from me because my wife still has hers.

My weight loss journey began with a 21 day fast at the beginning of 2011. It started when I replaced food on the throne of my heart with Jesus. I got my priorities back in line. As my pastor put it, "you worship what you serve" and while food is good, it makes a lousy God. Since the end of that fast I have lost 139 pounds.…

I was bullied for my weight in Jr High and in 9th grade, so I shed the weight, muscled up and became an all everything football player, plus I beat the snot out of the guy who was the ringleader bully in the lunch room in front of half my school. But then after football, I let myself fall back out of shape and gained tons…

Keep it up man. I was in about the same boat a year ago. I was around 420 when I started my journey. 137 pounds later, I'm still trucking along. You will be amazed at your new found energy. I lost 137 pounds last year, got a promotion at work and started back to grad school and maintained a 4.0 all while being married and…

I'm going into my finals for my first semester in grad school. What has worked for me has been getting up super early (3:45am) and running, it helps because I have no excuse, plus it helps me think a lot about papers and other assignments. Its a good time to plan and rehash what you've read while zoning out on the…

I'm 6'4". My doctor wants me between 190-210 lbs. Yeah right, when I played football (the best shape I was in ever in my life) i was 253 with 8% BF. I'm shooting for 250. The only way I get to 190-210 is to remove a leg.

I add in about a 1/4 diced onion, 5-6 kalamata olives chopped, some fresh parsley and as a dressing I use 3 tablespoons olive oil and the juice and zest of 1 lemon and mix it all in with tuna.

I have heard good things about Brooks, I'm seriously looking at the Glycerin 9's. But thought that I would consider the Vibram's before I settled on a shoe.
