LOL, love it!!

From Louisiana, need I say anything else? Friend request sent!

I also like to take fat free greek yogurt and mix it with HOT Pace Picante, 50/50 ratio. It will still have 130-135 caloies per cup but is a nice alternative to the ranch and spice to it helps to increase your metabolism a bit as well. Celery is a nice dipper to!

I love this, thanks for posting. This will encourage both me and my wife!

You'll get through it I promise. I just started working out with a trainer this year. 13 years desk job and over 100 lbs overweight. My trainer recomended MSM, it helps with reducing the swelling and this helps to reduce the pain. Now I know I'm doing good if I hit the point I'm about to throw up. It means I've pushed my…

This was spot on. Most guys who don't want to do something with there significant other will use the "its for girls" excuse.

Welcome escam02g, I agree with setting small goals with a larger end goal in mind as well. Congrats on beating your best from last year! Thanks Dan & Riley. I appreciate the feedback. Have you ever noticed that your HR is elevated the next day due to your sodium intake?

Alright, got a couple of questions for you guys. Yesterday was the day that I revert to old habits and don't sweat it. No exercise, sat on my *kitten* and ate chips while watching the tube. At first it was Sun Chips, still healthy right? Then switched to spicy pork rinds and had Mexican Taco Salad for desert with a couple…

I agree whole heartedly. As a husband I don't want everybody to see what's there on either my wife or my 3 girls. I try to teach modesty whenever I can because Lord knows what's going on when I'm not around. Besides. I think it's more intriquing when there is something left to the imagination. Be proud of what you have but…

I'm a father of 3 girls so take it how you want it but you do what makes you happy and if any guy can't live with that it's his loss not yours. Besides, to me what's sexy, no matter the body type, is how a lady carries herself. If you feel confident and not intimidated by your own body then that is what most guys find…

Thanks Dan, appreciate it. Headed there now Riley, thx!

Good Morning Everybody, I feel I may be reviving a dead beast here but I'm hoping to find a group of guys to talk exercise and nutrition with instead of all of the lady-folk on the site. I've been trying to eat better for a few months because the Dr told me that the transplant I received 13 years ago is starting to fail.…

This works for me as well. I'll aslo stop and get a meal replacement smoothie which can be quite filling but be careful, you've got to watch what they put in it. I typically go to Smoothie King and get a Gladiator with two fruits, about 400 calories.

1 cup of oatmeal, walnuts, pecans, almonds raisins and dried cranberries with a touch of brown sugar. Around 350 calories.

You just need to watch the types of carbs your eating, simple sugars and processed carbs such as white rice and white bread. While they typically have the same caloric content there's nothing there nutritionally speaking other than what's going to turn into sugar. The whole grains and brown rice will also supply nutrients…

While I was never a soda junkie I've been a caffeine junkie for awhile. What I do is for every cup of coffee I drink I drink a corresponding cup of water. I then started drinking tea instead of coffee, at least with only having a cup or two a day. I'm still drinking the extra water since my body is used to it and my Dr has…

I like your post, it's perfect timing for me. I've been on here awhile and I'm just now looking for a few friends for some support myself. Feel free to add me, I can use the support too!

That rocks! Keep up the good work. I can't wait to get kicked out of the club myself!

Desk job, IT QA Analyst. They develop it and I try to break it. Cool job but sit on my butt far too long.

I'm 45 and about 140 lbs overweight, just really got started myself. A little north of you in Canton, GA - Cherokee County.

Out running errands during lunch (new work out shoes and sweat pants) stopped at Smoothie King and grabbed a Strawberry/Blueberry Gladiator, 270 calories, a shot of wheat grass, 5 calories and I'm nibbling on a tablespoon of sunflower seeds w/o the hull for an additional 47 calories. Total lunch = 322 calories. I gotta say…

Same trouble because unfortunately you're training your body to to work more than it has in the past on a leaner fuel source. What I have found that helps me are raw nuts (not peanuts) i.e. Walnuts, Almonds, Pecans and the like and then whole grains instead of white breads. Then what I do is absolutely pig out on…

bmfrazie, thanks for the challenge last week. It was my first and it kept me keeping an eye on what I was doing throughout the week. I'm looking forward to this weeks challenge. *my wife said I couldn't do the burpee challenge if it is what it sounds like :)
