Awesome!

I was drinking every day. My choice was whiskey (6 - 8 0z) chased with soda (12 oz). May double that on some occasions. When I couldn't fit into fat clothes anymore, I had to change something. It was hard at first and I thought maybe I'd need some help but after a week or so, I started feeling a WHOLE LOT BETTER. Now, I…

I eat about 200 - 300 calories before the gym in the morning. One slice of whole wheat toast with reduced fat peanut butter and a banana or maybe blueberries for the energy. Post workout I have a protein shake (MET RX) which is another 250 calories. Starts my day right and is working for me.

During a physical he said "you know, based on your BMI, you're classified as obese. Are you doing anything about it?"

Not wiping down machines is the big one. Or, using the same piece of paper towel to wipe machines but not spray them down. Bad form. See it all the time. Why bother?

I eat the calories burned otherwise I feel like I'm STARVING.

I believe that the journey isn't perfect and that the only way one can achieve the fitness we are all desiring is to understand that we'll stumble a little bit along the way and when we do, we just get back up and move along without any guilt or ill feelings.

I have mine post workout in the morning or occasionally in the middle of the day as a quick meal.

My first marriage ended out of the blue just as suddenly because she didn't love me, never loved me, wasn't happy. It destroyed me BUT....it DOES get better.

I can have a massive sweet tooth. I've been substituting things like cookies (love OREOS) and ice cream with a banana with a couple of tablespoons of reduced fat natural peanut butter. It's been working for me.

I do cardio every time I go to the gym. Today was 35 minutes on the treadmill at a 3% incline at 3.5 MPH followed by 35 minutes on an elliptical trainer. Then on to weights, today being upper body. I alternate upper and lower body days when I weight train.

Believe. Nothing that's worth it is ever easy.

Hey, I'm new too. I don't know how much you were eating before your latest BMI but it reads like you're not eating enough. If you eat too few calories, you're body will go into starvation mode and store your consumed calories as fat while living off of your muscles. I'm not in any way an expert but I can tell you my…
