Thanks everyone! Robertus: keto was fantastic for me, I do think my body is insulin resistant from 20+ years of nonstop soda and candy. I had borderline high blood pressure and was experiencing some symptoms of being pre-diabetic, though I was afraid to go to a doctor and confirm that. A few weeks weeks after starting keto…

Pants used to be 40x30, and I'd wear them under my belly (think I was like a 46-48 around the navel). Now 32x32. Shirts were XXL at places with generous sizing, now M at any store.

I play a lot of video games (well, not so much now that the kid's here). Most recently Dungeon Siege 3. I'm a big fan of hack n slash rpgs. Played a ton of Diablo 2 back in the day. The game I play the most is Magic: the Gathering Online, which I also play in real life. I'm in school for programming, and my end goal is to…

I always have a hard time getting motivated for workouts (aka I'm lazy). Just started MFP last weekend, and I've been walking/hiking with friends all week, and I actually look forward to it. Being able to talk to somebody while you burn calories gets you out of your head, gives you a reason to actually go (you made plans,…

Looking to get into C25K, starting tomorrow morning. I'm going to be running on a quarter-mile track - any idea how the timing converts to distance for week one? I'm not sure how I could keep track of the time, but I could easily mark my distance on a track. Also, do you think it would be a lot harder pushing a baby…

Sushi! Would have to have the seaweed salad and miso soup though, or its no deal.

I read somewhere that living with overweight people tends to make you overweight. It was certainly true for my college roommate, who gained 30+ lbs. living with me. Saw him a few weeks ago (haven't seen him in a year), he's skinny as a rail again. So yeah, don't copy what you're friends are doing :)

Navigating the dining hall when you're trying to lose weight is rough. I gained a few pounds freshman year, both from the food and the beer. I recommend taking advantage of everything your college has to offer - nutritionist, gym, healthy food options, whatever. If you're so inclined, joining an intramural sports team is a…

Ugh, right in the hall outside my condo is a vending machine. Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, Milky Way... all three steps from my front door. I feel your pain about the candy thing. Having the guts to look at the nutrition info helps. Owning up and putting it online helps even more. You can do it!

My fiancee did Zumba to drop some of her baby weight and loved it! Congrats on the 6 lbs, that's a great start.

Thanks, Skeebee! I thought losing all that weight without exercising was too good to be true - it was. My fiancee is the same way, telling me I look good even when I'm at my heaviest. Makes me fat, be I wouldn't like the alternative... Fastbelly, I'll definitely check out C25K. I've heard of it, and it sounds like it's…
