I've lost 155.5lbs since April 7th, 2013. Started just cutting calories to lose the first 110ish lbs then started stalling so I adopted a short term KETO diet plan which helped me shed another 40+lbs and now I'm utilizing a carb cycling method. I don't necessarily have much more weight I want to lose just fat. Ultimate…

April 6, 2013 Before 378lbs to Feb 15, 2015 223lbs and still working towards 10% BF!

Congratulations! Keep it up you are doing an awesome job!

Congratulations! I know the feeling is absolutely amazing! Cheers to a healthy happy life!

Thank you everyone! I'm feeling great and loving life.

Thank you!

108 and counting... Just started a new very labor intensive job working in the South Florida heat and have shed 6 pounds in the last two weeks... Kicking my butt and making it tougher to hit the gym as often as I'd like to, however I'm staying on track and still managing at least 4 days a week. Keep hustling everybody,…

Thank you for all the awesome replies. I agree 100% as much as I'd love to make this my career I need to stay where I'm financially grounded for now. The funny thing is the commute is almost nil at both jobs. My current job is 2.1 miles away and the other is 1.2, Lol. I will let them know and you never know he may offer me…

I thought about that, but it's an all or nothing kinda deal. So, we have a lot to think about.

Ok... I guess what I'm getting at here is simple. Just because I don't feel that being "fat" should be celebrated doesn't make me hateful, mean, or a bully. In fact I'm the opposite of all those things. I have been there and hated myself in that skin. You may be more comfortable with yourself in said skin, but I'm not. So…

It was just a general statement I wasn't pointing anyone out imparticular. I think it has gone negatively both ways and it's silly. As you stated we are all here to support and motivate one another not to judge, bully, or belittle. I would never down talk anyone especially having had my own crazy ups and downs with self…

Wow... this thread took a nasty turn real fast. The only question I have to ask is for those that are angry at people for not simply agreeing with you... Why are you here? What brought you to a Fitness related forum? Now, I mean no disrespect to anybody. I'm just lost as to how we could take responses that for the most…

I to was in this same situation. I was actually told by my doctor that I was "A Healthy Fat Guy!", however she ended our conversation with a simple statement. "You are young, but the older you get the weight will begin to deteriorate your health, so please for your kids sake if nothing else look into was to get yourself on…

Thank you!

I've battled with weight all my life and I don't know any "Fat" person who is truly happy with themselves. Just because you put a mask of happiness on when you are in front of others doesn't mean you are not crying yourself to sleep at night while eating a pint of ben and jerrys. Now I do know people who believe the are…

Did them this morning 8:08 sore pecs, sore legs, and sore triceps had me like OUCH, LMAO! I really do love burpees!

You can't think about food like it's a narcotic. That's the mistake so many people make. We need food to live and the idea and best practice is to not only enjoy it, but to do so in a healthy manner. Changing your focus from food as being the enemy to food as being an ally is the best thing you could ever do.

See this is a topic that sees much debate. I myself allow myself 2 cheat meals per week. Usually try to do them post workout and my philosophy so to speak with this is simple... When you put yourself in deprevation mode you are making it far more difficult to overcome the mind and this can and/or will lead to binging and…

I've done as many as 200 in a row during a Spartan Race Hurricane Heat and that is not fun especially with a pack on your back full of water and a few other supplies. Just finished my 100 in 6:45 with a full push up in each destroyed the first 65 in less than 3:30sec, but the last 35 had me hurting! It's been a while since…

I have always been told that lighter shoes are better for running so that's what I aimed for always and just suffered through shin splints and knee pain. Until I found Runner's Depot down here in Florida and let me tell you... My Inov8 FLite 240s are the bomb! They are slightly heavier then the Nike sumthin or others I was…

Minimum 5, but I usually run 3-5 miles every morning then weight train with circuits and HIIT training in the evenings.

You are all awesome and give me so much inspiration just seeing your posts! For those of you struggling and fighting for a better you know that it can be done. It's not easy, it won't be fast, it will not be without frustration, but it will BE WORTH IT!!! Some body had asked about health conditions that have improved or…

Thank you everybody!!!

We spoke last night and both agreed that if she wants to continue we will let her, and exactly as stated I'll do my workout then have her do one with me as posted by somebody else earlier where I will let her be the trainer. Last time she was trying to teach me her Hip Hop recital dance... Dad has no moves! Lol!

I just got home from work and asked her about the field day because I wasn't there mom was and she was so excited to tell me how she was teaching her friends to do burpees. She said her tummy bothers her a little, but she's fine. I agree with a couple of the statements made regarding our childhoods. I was always outside.…

She had a field day today at school and had a blast she was showing other kids in her class how to do burpees! I think she is hooked, again thank you so much for all the positive replies! I'll keep showing her the ropes as long as she is interested and wants to continue. Mom will come around I'm sure!

Thanks for the great replies everyone. I don't think my wife is being anything more than a concerned mom. When her baby girl is complaining about her tummy hurting mom's instinct is to metaphorically smack dad in the back of the head like see what you did. I would never force any excersize on my children, but I'm not going…

Absolutely, we stretched and jogged a few laps around the house before we started. She does stretching and warmups at dance class so she is pretty well versed with that.

That's funny I honestly just had this conversation with her. I explained to her that tomorrow she may be a little more sore and that if she wanted to we could excersize a little easier again on Tuesday she was like ok daddy!

Lol!
