Down to 292 this week, that's -4. Not a bad week. It almost offsets that damage I did 3 weeks ago.

Current wt: 298

Checking in: Current: 300 Goal: 235 Thanks for setting this up. w

I'm in. Gotta go buy a new scale tonight. Ugh. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I think I'll give it a try.

yeah, mine do, anyway.:laugh: just remember that the ultimate goal is behavior modification and not an elaborate system of rewards and atonement (i already tried that). the way that it seems to work best for me is when I know that I'll have an, um, trying weekend--like Superbowl Sunday--I try to shave off 50-100 calories a…

Water. Totally unoriginal, I know. But when I've been cravin' after 7, I pretty much chug a 20-oz tumbler of cold water. It helps me, anyway.

Anyone have a link for videos showing proper form for abdominal workouts? I'm interested in crunches and the other corresponding exercises. Thanks. Willem

Hi, I"m sorta new here--been a member for a while, but just now getting serious. I would appreciate it if anyone could fill me in on these "teams" that I keep seeing threads for. Blue team? Green team? Mom team? A-team?:laugh: I'd love to be in the know. How's the competition work? Thanks. willem

thanks for all the replies. well, i guess i'm stuck with the crunches. :laugh:

this is and was terribly embarrassing: i was doing crunches at our student health center recently and one of the trainers--who are grad students in physiology--sort of pulled me aside and said the following: "um, you might want to hold off on the crunches until you're a little, like, more slender." I asked why. she said,…

sorry for starting off with a Top Gun quote, but i'm a child of the 80's and old habits die hard. i totally derailed this weekend--so bad that i refuse to even record it. i'd like to say that living in south louisiana caught up with me this weekend, as i ate more seafood, bread pudding, and king cake than i would of…

Vuarnet t-shirt. Whitish Z-Cavaricci pants, tightrolled at the ankles of course. Loafers, no socks. And, not six months later, I was listening to Nirvana and wrapped in the dingy-est looking flannel I could get my hands on. The early nineties were a strange, strange time. :laugh:

what's that about?

this is way random, but i thought i would put it out there since it's been working for me: my 9th grade PE teacher--who's incidentally turned out to be quite the prophet since i was in 9th grade back in 1992--was really worried about "these kids today," which meant us. he worried that we all sat around "playing video games…

i don't think this will qualify as a kick in the butt, but, for what it's worth, i can't tell you how proud i'd feel if i'd come as far as you have. today was my first day back on the proverbial wagon. i ate only what i was supposed to, and i even managed to drag my big butt around the block a couple of times tonight--and…

thanks for the warm welcome. w

hi all, i just wanted to introduce myself. i'm really just getting started on this latest fitness kick--though i'm hoping it ends up being more of a lifestyle change than another trend. i gained a bunch of weight after a second knee surgery when i was an undergraduate, and i'm hoping to start whittling away at it. i won't…
