Starting my day before sunup. When a new album, book, or game I want is released. Watching horror flicks with my children. Halloween. Podcasts. Chicks with tattoos. My bicycle. Christmas. EDIT: OH GOD COFFEE HOW COULD I FORGET YOU, BABY? (Especially seasonal variations).

I just can't stop listening to the latest Lana Del Rey album; Ultraviolence. Also recently gotten into the catalog of an English rapper named The Streets and it really helped me get over a breakup so there's that, too.

Well, having at one point been almost 400 pounds I'd be a bit of a hypocrite if it mattered a whole lot. One of the greatest compliments I've ever been paid is my recent ex saying she'd never been attracted to heavy guys and so that meant that someone considered me thin! I'll say I've dated women before who were a bit…

I've never played either Metro game. They sure have a neat concept though, and are very well reviewed!

I'm really stoked for The last of us remastered, since I was a 360 dude last gen. Also the Metro 2033 redux collection. Destiny is going to be great, also. The alpha was really fun and my brother and I are really looking toward the beta this month. Psn id: Splitdog79

I guess the proper phrase would be "Haunting shame and self-loathing." Shame and self-loathing because I hated who I was and everything about my life up until about two years ago, and haunted because I know statistically that despite my best efforts I've got an 85%+ chance of going back to that.

Lovin' my Flex. I think it takes like 2-3 hours to fully charge. No biggie.

"When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth" Ol' skool Dawn of the Dead.

First cassette I ever bought was "Appetite for destruction" by Guns n' Roses. Still a classic.

I know the feelings. The question you need to ask yourself is if they're making long-term sustainable changes to their lifestyle or just doing some temporary "cleanse". Before I started trying to get into shape I saw lots of coworkers going to see a weight-loss doc that gave them B-12 injections and such and, yeah, they…

Man, clothes are for hiding your shame and why on Earth would anyone be ashamed of rocking the giant, demoniac bat wings and talons combo?

You know, only when they post relationship stuff. But, then I recall all those years in a loveless, abusive marriage and I totally recall posting "Awesome relationship" stuff, too. Facebook is really just selling yourself and your life. You can completely frame how to see your own story. Remember that, dudes. I've got an…

Giant bat wings and talons would be pretty dope.

I don't run, mostly the occasional jogging but mostly just walking or cycling, but I always nod or give a bit of a wave. I always get one in return as well. Of course I'm in a pretty small town so the same people are always bumping into each other on the trail every day. For a few weeks I kept bumping into a lady on a…

Well, good news and bad news in my experience. I'm covered in them. Stomach, chest, shoulders, upper arms, and even down to my forearms. They've faded quite a bit but I still notice them every time I see myself. The good news is that, and don't take this the wrong way, but nobody pays as much attention to us as we do so…

Oh man, so THIS. From the moment they are BORN (And in the case of shaping public opinion in the Third World concerning Breast milk not being as good as Formula) companies are throwing billions of dollars at some of our species' brightest people to manipulate humanity's basic evolutionary weaknesses into eating a certain…

I overate quite badly Friday. Like, I binged. Probably got near 4,000 calories (If I'm lucky). That being done, I fasted most of Saturday and had about 1,000 calories total and was very active. Sunday was Father's day and I had family over and my children, so I done goofed again. I'm trying to fast the entirety of the day…

I've had a Flex for about a few weeks now and it's convinced me that I need to stop eating back exercise calories completely. I started doing that and I was eating in total some days over 2,500 calories. I just wasn't losing or even maintaining. Fact is, as nice as apps and tools are to help figure your burn, they aren't…

Hi there, welcome to MFP! I've lost about 175 or so. It's hard to know exactly since the highest scale I could find only went to 350 at the time so that's what I list but I believe I was closer to 400. I've got pretty severe loose skin at this point on my thighs, arms, stomach and, luckily, just a tiny bit on my chest.…

Super impressive, everyone! This is me a few weeks ago or so on left, in October of 2010 on right. 175 vs. 350+ since I couldn't find a scale that went high enough.

I tried that cookie butter today, because the whole internet is going ape about it all of the sudden. Anyways I didn't even wait to get home. I got into the truck and started eating it with my finger and, honestly, was sort of disappointed. It tasted sort of like a cheap cinnamon cookie or something :/ This is no Nutella…

I go through at least one, sometimes two, jars of PB a week! Usually Peter Pan Whipped, which is 150 kcal per 2 Tbsp, but really whatever is BOGO. I've got about 6 jars of Whipped right now. PB is one of my major fat sources, and it's so satisfying. Why would you ever want to cut it out? It's even decent for protein.

Holy cow, I just saw this. I'm in Citrus County, and boy is it always odd to see other folks from there online. There's a fair few folks in the area using the app, I'm sure, but I doubt many are active on the forums. Best of luck to you!

Talking on the telephone fills me with cosmic terror, which is funny because that's what I do for a living most days. I'm actually a pretty funny/emotional dude but I just don't have the most expressive face so pull a Joe Friday more often than not. I spend way too much time on just about any form of social media.

The picture on the right is from 2010 (350 +), whereas the picture on the left is from today (178).

I live in a really small town and have gone from nearly 400 pounds to around 175 the past few years. People come up to me all the time and talk to me about it uninvited. It's alright I guess as long as it stops at talking. Sometime they'll start feeling me up and wanting to see my skin and ****. It's weird :/

I want like a pair of badass 25' bat wings or something. Maybe have one of my arms be a minigun like ED-209. Yeeeeeah, that's the dream.

Good god, that's just plain cruel. I'm sorry she was so rude.

Some really amazing pics up in here! Awesome work, all.

My kids and I are currently enjoying Super Mario 3D world, and I am currently awaiting the arrival of my Wii Balance Board and Fit Meter so I can partake of Wii Fit U. Also really looking forward to my Black Friday haul coming in- Zombi U, Assassin's Creed 3, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and the fore-mentioned Wii Fit U…
