Welcome! Naysha, you really tripped my trigger when you mentioned Buffets!!!! I was married for less than a year to my very fit wife and mentioned one evening we should stop at a buffet for dinner. She went into a tirade about buffets, and told me buffet stands for " Big Ugly Fat Folk Eating Together", and it has stuck.…

Thanks forthe help with the photos! I don't know if I am more excited about the weight loss or finally being able to post a picture on a message board!

Hi there, I am so sorry someone said something so mean to you. When I met my wife, she was well over 200 pounds, and I was a skinny-minny. Well, somehow after 4 kids, she is the one in shape and I am the one that needs to work on it a bit! I always tell my wife it wouldn't have mattered what her weight or shape or health…

I feel you on this one! Maybe a tad backward, but I knew the last two days were going to be full of lots of good foods, so I tried to up my cardio a bit to earn some extra calories to cover.

I printed a few days of mine out and asked a two people at work (that have sound nutritional habits) to see if they noticed anything to suggest, but I got the…

You seem just like my wife. She is 6 ft and puts in miles every day and eats well, however she is always around 185 no matter what. I married a good Polish girl from Detroit and she is built just as you describe. Never obese, but just thick and muscular. She has had 4 children, and honestly, she is in better shape than…

Great thread, and made me think a bit. The thing I love about myself is that I am a great Dad and a great husband. I know that I am because my wife and kids always remind me.

Hi there! I am in Green at the Summit/Stark border.
