I thought this was interesting 2020 and I would have responded in a private message but I can't seem to do it on my phone. Thanks for posing the question it made me think about what motivates me to do these runs. Here are my thoughts in response: If they just said "good job thanks for coming out." I wouldn't run. My…

Hmm. Ok thanks for the input I like the idea of a Facebook photo with a motivational quote of some sort. Makes for a good "2015 done, now lace up for 2016" image that can be tastefully done. I think I'll go that way. It seems more socially acceptable. Though maybe for Halloween a zombie runner might be fun hehehe ;) As for…

Sweet thanks, I hadn't considered the organic origins of the sugars. The other concern that I have might seem stupid, but when I blend my red cabbage and veggies etc and drink the first shake, it's a vibrant purple. Later when I drink it, it's mud brown. Should I be concerned with the oxidation that is happening? Or is…

Someone was rude to you so you quit? Unacceptable. Get back up and carry on with things.

Ignore people that tear you down, smile at the ones that are helpful. Then just go on with your journey. It's the internet, there are lots of douches, and lots of nice people. Your attitude and reaction towards each is the only thing you control.

It's been my experience that a lot of people will try and impede your progress. I don't know what the motivations are for this behavior. Perhaps it's the old "crabs in the bucket" analogy. I would encourage you to reflect a positive attitude to the comments of other people, especially if they are being sarcastic. Tell them…

I just bought a blender last week. I wanted something to chop up fibrous and leafy veggies so I could "drink" my greens. So something that could handle that kind of task was important. I wanted a "step up" beyond Walmart/Target kind of typical blade blender Comparisons were between the "Nutribullet, Ninja, Blendtec, and…

On the rare occasion I go to a gym, there's only two people there. Me and whoever is using the machine I'm waiting for.

1. Alcohol 2. Sugars and all artificial sweeteners 3. Refined Carbohydrates and grains 4. Any restaurant that features a "drive thru" 5. processed foods and meat products.

Excellent Progress! You should be very pleased. Keep going =)

Wow, never knew about this holiday. I'll be heading to my favorite house of ill repute to celebrate this one, follow it with a giant steakhouse offering, and top it off with a super frosty huge beer, Sounds like a plan.

I never much cared about people interacting on my page. I keep track of what I eat when I can, I let Fitbit take care of the exercise, and I track the results. I figure if one of my friends wants to see if I'm succeeding or not, all they have to do is look in my diary. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

everyday, first thing in the morning.

Eliminate sugar sources, artificial sweeteners, refined carbs and processed foods. Replace with as many natural foods (read: vegetables), and lean proteins. Watch the pounds melt away

Tolerance works both ways. If you're part of a 5% minority, and the 95% say "no homo" to eachother (and you included), then that's something that you have to tolerate. It's not up for the vast majority to change their habits because you find something offensive. Otherwise you turn what is probably a passing internet…

It's the sugar. No doubt about it. We get a LOT more sugar than most people think. Because it's not only pure refined white sugars, corn syrups, (yes, even artificial sweeteners DO count), but refined grains and most dairy products as well. * *According to Dr. Gundry

Skin loses it's elasticity over time being heavy. So while it may "tighten up" a bit, there's always the option of a tummy-tuck cosmetic surgery once you reach and can maintain a healthy goal. Don't let something like that impact your confidence. It's better than having a stomach stretched drum-tight after overeating!

Nope, screw that guy. He should keep his mind on his own treadmill. Tell him to take it up with maintenance if he has a problem.

It's a tracker so I'd say use it as one. Use it as an objective tool. If you make large over-calculations, then you are getting inaccurate data to review/act upon. I'll over-estimate slightly if I did not get a chance to weigh my food and end up "guessing" at how much that chicken breast weighed. But no eating 2 bites of…

You're not addicted to coffee, you're addicted to sugar. The drinks you mention are pretty much sugar with coffee flavoring. Take the coffee black, or just stop drinking it and switch to something else until you can deal with the sugar addiction.

Go ahead and keep saying no, IF you want to give him permission to get sex from someone else. If you don't want that, then stop saying no. Simple as that. Tired? Well suck it up and give the guy attention he needs, or nobody will blame him for "working late" with some hot young secretary, intern, bargirl, whoever. Nobody…

Often we'll find that when we try to change something about ourselves in a positive sense, those we associate with will often try to discourage or sabotage us. Perhaps intentionally, or perhaps not, but the effect is the same; it presents a stumbling block. I think that they do this because it makes them feel…

Not starting over, just still going.

Same as above, it was probably the your attitude with the "weight" being almost an extraneous factor. If you carry negativity around, once you lose the weight, it'll just be something else.. Would you date me if I didn't have a kid, if I made more money, if I made less money, if I liked football, if I was even skinnier,…

I have a fitbit zip I picked up at the apple store on impulse. It's good for casual tracking of my footsteps. I don't pay much attention to the calories. The steps and distance aren't 100% accurate, but they are good enough, especially if you just want to see if you can "beat" the record for the day before. Since it's…

I use Isopure Chocolate (no sugar) as my protein base Then throw in some psyllium husk fiber (fine ground) Make it milky with some Unsweetened almond milk and that's my breakfast or post workout nutrition shot.

There's a difference between thin and anorexic There's a difference between fat and slobby, and round/curvy. I'd say the deciding factor of what is "too big" is how much "jiggle" and "overlap" of things are there. Round is ok, as long as you're healthy. But if you have a gut that could compare with a beer-chugging…

I kiss FWB's, One night stands, and pretty much anything other than hookers. Only reason I could think of it the guy is either timid or gay. Kiss is a pretty casual thing in my opinion. /shrug.

Hey if you think keeping track of your steps to get a given reward is something you'd like to try, I'd recommend getting a fitbit zip to help you keep track. You'd be surprised at how quickly they add up. I say go for it and give it a shot. It can't hurt =)

I switched from pizza, burgers, hot dogs, hot wings, beer, whiskey, wine, soda, refined carbs, and garbage / sitting around all day to Greens, any vegetable I want, small amounts of raw high fiber fruits, and lean proteins. Coffee, tea, sodastream water / getting moderate exercise. It's a continued lifestyle, not a diet. I…
