Theoretically, if you don't cut the cake and eat the entire thing with a fork, it IS "one piece". (Just kidding)

I prefer the more blunt terminology for foods. It removes the guess work and tends to make less ideal food choices less acceptable. Rather than say "That food may not be ideal for assisting you in reaching your health goals in a timely manner." I say "If I eat this crap my arteries will harden like granite and my buttocks…

You area distinguished looking gentleman sir. Very dapper.

I thought it said Eighty (80) lbs. Great job. Keep going just don't over do and hurt yourself.

I have had online acquaintances who have gone through this and they use the gym as an outlet to blow off steam and they get fit and fab to show the "Butthead" what they lost. Kind of fickle but it helped them to put it behind them. It was better than turning to tubs of ice cream. This journey is about you and you being…

Great value (Walmart brand) 90 Calorie Chewy Granola Bars. Chocolate chunk. Loaded with chocolate but only 90 cals each. You could probably have like 2 or 3 if you budget for them.

Getting back to looking lean and fit. As well as a $200 gift card. If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?

Welcome. You can do this.

Hello all. I am the new guy. I need to get back to moving but I am thinking walking might be a better beginning.

I am 43 in Indiana so I understand the cold.

By the way, my name's Doug.

Not yet. I am gonna try to downsize the junk food in the house. I can't get rid of it because the wife and kiddo eat it as well. Care to team up and try to form a small group of like minded people to keep us going? If so send me a request.
