It's the holidays, enjoy it. I gained weight as well. Didn't count calories, exercise much at all, and of course the numbers showed the difference. But with the holidays over, I'm back to eating better and exercising. So don't go all beat-yourself-over-the-head-pump-it-up-and-make-it-a-thing about it. It's not the federal…

I used to have this problem. I hated the thought that "everyone was going to laugh at the fat guy exercising." In the gym, or running on the road, wherever. "They" were watching and laughing. I just said "I don't give a F%#. I'm out here exercising, and they are all sitting on their backsides in cars passing by, or sitting…

I've really enjoyed the P90X program (the original, not P90x2, doubles, or whatever permutation they are on now). My favorite is the Yoga =)

Remarkable! You look like a completely different person. Congratulations on the new you! =)

There is no reward, it just is the same as everyday, only being able to do things more easily and have more endurance.

That's the only kind of "relationship" I ever have. Nobody gets closer than FWB for me. my 2 cents.

Size is less important than "fit". A big fat saggy fatty who is double fisting cheesecakes wholesale in stretch pants and sending semaphore signals with arm dangly fat does not conjure up an attractive image for me. It's a "big" size that is not healthy. A curvy woman who may be of larger "size" (dress size, height,…

I don't have as much beef with low carb in general. I think that sugar is the real culprit. I do limit my carbohydrate intake to whole grains in smaller doses and those found in veggies. But. Short term, if you need to lose 50+ lbs (to just throw a number out there), then there is no question that these plans do work. I…

Wow thanks for the good information. I guess I'll stick to the chest strap models for my selection. I'll check out the New Balance N4's for sure. Are there any other models / brands that users have had some good success with that I should consider?

Challenge Accepted... Weekly Goal: 3500 I suppose. Ok lets do this. Mon: calories burned (how they were burned) Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories burned (how they were burned) Fri: calories burned (how they were burned) Sat: calories burned (how they…

Well done. You should be very proud of your progress! Keep on going =)

Do the right thing and sell it to her. It's Vicodin, not uncut heroin. If you don't want to sell it, then just politely say no.

Disheartened after a week? I'd say go ahead and quit and come back when she means it to be honest. One week is barely enough time to kickstart the metabolism. Expecting a dramatic result in such a small time is folly and asking to be disappointed. When she's ready to set doable goals, then she can give it a shot.

I have one word for you. It JUST finished in Hawaii, so you have a whole year to prepare, strive, and train. "Ironman" ... ready, set, GO

Fun

I think that makes me a Hollywood pimp?! .... and they say dreams don't come true.

I weigh myself every morning, about 10 minutes after I wake up and walk around a bit, but before breakfast. It's a static number that is not influenced by what I ate at lunch, or how much I sweated during my exercise. So it's a good number to record. I also weigh myself in the evenings on occasion, but only to see how much…

If he's dating you, he likes you. And he'll be more comfortable liking you if he knows you're comfortable around him. So just relax and have fun and stop worrying m'kay?

Pac-Man. The guy does NOTHING but eat and still has the same figure he had in 1982. Total win.

Comfortable

I didn't notice a big difference until I lost like 30 lbs. Saw it in my face and chin then, but not in the "rest" of me. But others started noticing about that time as well. You'll see a difference soon =)

Eliminating sugar was huge for me. All sources of it pretty much. Changing from processed foods and refined carbs to lean protein and veggies. I'd say that was 80% of the equation. The exercise part is just to feel better during the day.

Cute Chick. Pretty hair, face, eyes, smile, and generally healthy. I'd give her a 1 or 2 on the beer scale ;)

I've found alcohol to be a distinct progress halter for me. Even just one drink a day stops my progress it seems, regardless of how I watch my eating and exercise habits. So I curb my intake of alcohol to once every couple months, then enjoy in moderation. Because along with alcohol usually comes food (and who serves…

In order of greatest to least: I eat too much food I drink too much booze I don't exercise enough I don't get enough sleep I am overstressed Simple as that.

Incredible transformation. Wassup girl? ;)

It's pretty easy, just take regular plain yogurt and double-up some cheese cloth. Line a mesh strainer and then pour the plain yogurt into it. Let it strain over the sink or a bowl for anywhere between 3 to 6 hours. Feast.
