bump for later.

This was just in Las Vegas. I was not able to go, but a bunch of friends did and had a blast with it.

This show use to be inspiring. Sure, it is totally unrealistic in the amount of weight loss for the average person, but still inspiring. This season hasn't been inspiring at all. It has turned into every other reality show. Contestants cast who insure controversy, manufactured "touching" moments between…

I feel for you! My wife and I have 4 kids, and I packed on the pounds right with her. Lucky for her, she would lose it. Good luck to you! You are in the right place for motivation!

I'd love to check it out. Sounds like fun. Drew Thomson (from las vegas)

Good luck! You are definitely in the right place. On a side note. Several have mentioned snoring and even stopping breathing in their sleep. Sleep apnea is a serious condition. Snoring is often a precursor to sleep apnea. Sleep apnea has been linked to many serious health issues. They range from weight gain all the way to…

I have my activity set at light active because I am on my feet a majority of the day. I didn't take into account working out when I set it up because I am not always able to get in the same kind of workout. My calorie goal is not artificially high, I am just that overweight.

Thank you for the responses. Yes, 2740 is a lot of calories to eat in one day, that is why I have my question. Take today as an example. I have eaten breakfast and lunch and still have almost 2000 calories to eat before bed tonight. If I eat healthy foods, 2000 calories in the next 7 hours is going to be near impossible.…

Thanks for the help. mermx - my calorie goal is 2740 if I don't work out at all. I looked at the report here on MFP and it looks like I average right around 2100 cal/day. Sometimes more sometimes less. I am definitely not changing so drastically that I will not be able to keep this up. I am still eating the foods I like, I…

I'm in Vegas. I go to LVAC though.

Put a little bit of homemade salsa on it.

CJ: Science Teacher / Photographer (side business) DJ:Science Teacher / Photographer (side business) I'm one of the lucky ones. I love what I do.

Keep this going. If you don't know your reps info, go to Wikipedia. You can enter your zip code and they will have all the contact for your local/federal reps. I said it in another thread. These are the same people who are doing a bang up job with the post office. Do we really want them running the internet?

I agree. This is awful legislation. I have never contacted my state or federal representatives, but today is the day that changes. The Wikipedia zip code search makes it easy to find who to contact. It has their Phone, Twitter, and email contact form. This really is something everyone should oppose. As a photographer, I do…

tmjones - I also cut out sodas, and I think that has been a huge factor. As far as time, I feel for you. I have only been able to squeeze in 2 times a week (maybe 3) at the gym right after work or on weekends. The days that I can't make the gym I have to improvise. This may sound stupid, but my wife purchased the game…

I'm a science teacher, and run our after-school program. I also have a photography business that I do on the side. I am usually on my feet most of the day.

I'm with you. I have a picture of myself back in college up on the fridge. That is my inspiration.
