Way to go! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished!!!!

Thanks for the chart Jack. Congrats to all the losers this week. I maintained which is good for me since I have been somewhat bad at watching everything I eat. I hope everyone has a great active week. Hawkeye

Thanks for the chart Jack and congrats on your weight loss this past week. All of your hard work really paid off. Congrats to all the other losers as well. I have been sick the past few weeks and unable to workout, so last night was my first night back. It was good to just get back in there if you know what I mean. I hope…

Thanks for the chart Jack. Congrats to all the losers this week. I don't know how I personally managed to lose 1 pound since I have been sick and eating everything in sight. Maybe that's the trick. :) Hope everyone has a great active week. Hawkeye

Thanks renae! I will check that one out as well. I was never any good at sit-ups so that will be a real challenge for me.

Pretend like your rear view mirror is gone and that you are no longer able to look behind you or in the past. The future is in FRONT of you and looks bright. You need to forget about what you can't control which is the past and focus on what you can control which is your future. ALL of us have good days and bad days, but…

Wow!! Your hard work has really paid off. Keep up the good work and congratulations.

Going to the gym and eating right has finally become a habit for me. And I can now see my feet without bending over. :)

Morning Team, Hope everyone is having a great active week thus far. I have been good about getting my workouts in and staying within my calories for the most part. A few small slip ups here and there, but nothing to significant. I am not sure if anyone else has found the 100 push-up free site (and 99 cent iphone ap), but…

Thanks for the chart Jack. I know where you are coming from in regards to the workouts and diet. Hang in there though because I know we can do it. Congrats to all the losers this week. Way to go!!! Great challenge atotal180. Believe it or not the hardest part for me will be the treat portion. That's the area where I always…

Based on my initial test of 22 push-ups, it had me start off on week 3. So I loaded the ap. on my iphone and started this past Saturday. When I first glanced at the workout, I thought this should be a piece of cake since I did 22 a few days earlier and was in fairly good shape. What a humbling experience I had. Even though…

TGIF Team, I hope everyone had a great active week and has an even better weekend. I am planning my weekend out so I do better when it comes to eating. I get in my exercise which is never the problem, but since we eat out about 3-4 times over the weekend, that's where it becomes difficult. I am going to make better choices…

Great challenge. I "use" to be able to do about 80-90 consecutive pushups in 2 mins. during my ARMY days, but that was almost 25 years ago. My how time flies! :) I just started getting back into doing them after my workouts while stretching and was able to manage 22 last night. I will officially start this on Monday.…

Thanks for the tips Tammy and cah0806! I do try and eat a good breakfast on the weekends as well, but that's really about it. It's all the snacking that kills me. I like the tip about not even starting at all because that when the cravings kick in and I can not control myself. I need to drink more water as well which…

Thanks for the chart Jack and glad you are back in the swing of things. Hope everyone is doing good! I continue to do great during the week with my eating and working out, but always drop off on the weekends. My wife and I took a motorcycle riding class this past weekend so there was a lot of snacking and junk food. I know…

I also agree with everyone's comments here, the Elliptical is my favorite machine. I use to lift weights for about 30mins and then hit the Elliptical for another 30 or so. It provided an excellent workout which burned about 700 calories or so. My speed was also pretty high back then. But in the last month I changed it up a…

Morning Team, Hope everyone is having a great active week thus far. Looks like we have a lot of new folks in the group which is really great. No matter how long any of us have been at this we can all use the support. Take care, Hawkeye

Thanks for sharing your story. Like you, I didn't want to PUSH my lifestyle on anyone, but when seriously asked how I have been losing weight, I let them have it. I don't know the total count because it's like that movie Pay It Forward where I help x number of people and they help x number and so on. But from the core…

Welcome to the team.

Thanks for the chart Jack. Like you, I am "officially" off of maint. and back on the program. Congrats to all the losers this past week. I hope to rejoin that club again here soon. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and weekend. Hawkeye

Congrats to you! I have heard it said before that the first one is always the hardest so now that you have that behind you you are well on your way. Keep up the great work.

Happy hump day everyone! I hope you are having a great active week thus far. I fell off track a bit over the past few weeks, but am back on track this week which is just what I needed. It's amazing how easy it is to fall back into the old routine of eating whatever and whenever. I recently got into the bad habit of not…

Like many others, I stick to the low cal option snacks and just ensure I have enough calories left in the day. The trick is to not go over which is often very difficult. I also drink a lot of water and then wait for the craving to go away. The downside to that is you may have to get up a few times in the middle of the…

TGIF Team, I don't know about you, but I am ready for the weekend! The temp. is suppose to finally dip below 90 here and should be great weather for outdoor activities. Not sure what everyone else has planned, but be sure to get out there and do something active this weekend. Hope everyone has a good one. Hawkeye

Here here!!! I couldn't agree with you more.

I don't know who told you that about looking dumpy regardless of what you wear, but from my perspective that couldn't be farther from the truth. I see people in all shapes and sizes that look fan dam tastic!!!! Anyone who says things like that are just trying to compensate for the own short comings and insecurites.

Thanks for the chart Jack and congrats on your bench press accomplishment! Even though I can't do it anymore due to injury, bench has always been my favorite. It's been a fairly good week thus far as I have been getting my workouts in each night and sticking to my calories for the most part. Like I have said many times…

I hear that little voice everyday right after lunch. That little SOB usually talks me into having some chocolate or other candy that I really don't need. I rationalize it just like you in saying I deserve it for working out hard last night or eating better, etc...
