  • 46 y/o man here, started at 315, down to 280, another 80 or so to go. What is working for me is planning ahead. I figure out what I will eat everyday. The things I can make ahead and then nuke, I do. The stuff I have to prepare the same day, I portion out the ingredients. IT IS NOT EASY! There are days when I want to say…
  • From Father's Day with my son. He took me to Friendly's and I had Butter Pecan ice cream with crispy bacon topping. I think I'm still sweating it off, but Mother of Pearl it was good.
  • So instead of answering the question, you spew vitriol and sow discord. You must be very wise, I see you used four exclamation points and the Caps Lock key As to the OP, yes, I Vaped until early this year. Stopped smoking, and started with 24mic and tapered down to 6. I found that the Bounty Hunter juice from NiteLite…
  • 'I manage the systems. Systems break, I can fix those. You manage the people. They break, you fix them.' I was counseled.
  • Let's see...with my 7 year old. Food. If I prepare something, he needs to try it. He doesn't have to like it, he doesn't have to eat it, but he doesn't get anything else either. I make one meal. Don't like, don't eat it, but you wait until the next meal. No snacking. Chores. His daily chores are to make his bed, scoop the…
  • Um, I felt bad. That's why I am losing the weight. As it happens, continue reading the thread, including the update. That said, if my saying 'You're weight is making you less attractive.' hurts, well, it's a deserved pain. I don't lie, I don't fib, I don't prevaricate. If asked a direct question, I will give a direct…
  • The freezer is your friend. Find recipes the two of you enjoy and buy the ingredients in bulk, then make a ton. It may be repetitive, but I make my breakfasts and lunches for two weeks for about $50, and it's mostly vegan. (That's a health choice, not a suggestion) It works out that the both of you are home so you have…
  • 'A Mighty Fortress', Book 3 of the Safehold series by David Weber 'The Honor of the Queen' Book 2 of the Honor Harrington series by David Weber and 'Grave Peril', Book 3 of the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. It sort of depends what room I'm in or if I'm on the train.
  • ARISE! Arise thread from the past, that you may live again! My wife is now on MFP, and has lost weight. We aren't exercising together, but she made the decision for herself and I am blind with joy. Ok, maybe just really stoked. In any case, my attitude has improved, and we are doing better.
  • What type of exercise, at what intensity? How long into the exercise do you have the symptoms? Is it better some days and worse others, or is it a consistent problem? How long has this been happening? Were there any changes in diet, exercise pattern, medication (Keep that personal, just food for thought) or seemingly minor…
  • Well, I understand but there are steps that can be taken. I work 45 hours a week and have a 2 1/2 hour commute time. Here is my day: 0500 - Up. 0505 - Call the people that want wake up call so they can work out 0515 - Out the door for my jog/bike ride 0615 - In from jog/bike ride. (Jogging takes less time, so I splurge and…
  • Crunchy peanut butter and BBQ sauce sandwich.
  • Had to punch new holes in my gun belt. Same belt that I called and complained 'cause I thought they sent one that was too small.
  • Rather inspirational. I'm the same height, same starting weight and want to down to where you are. I'm a bit older, but it's nice to see what can be done.
  • I use the Polar FT-7. It has a chest band and links to a wrist watch. For GPS, I use mapmyfitness.com for cycling and my RunDouble Couch25k app for my Android.

  • Personally, I carry a full size Taurus PT1911 in a Crossbreed Supertuck, with a P3AT as a BUG. Kind of happy/annoyed that I have lost so much weight I have to buy new gun belts.
  • One of the best I have taken. The goal is to update it when I have lost my weight.
  • Wait, your wife dictates who you can be friends with? ... Okay.
  • I use my skills as an analyst and therapist....my card: Actually, IT Manager for a growing Accounting firm in Philly.
  • I am a leaf on the wind - watch how I soar. - Hoban Washburn She is startin' to damage my calm. - Jayne Cobb and of course: Can I make a suggestion that doesn't involve violence, or is this the wrong crowd for that? - Hoban Washburn
  • I try to comment, but I suffer from performance anxiety. I see something and I post an 'Excellent' or a 'Good job'. to let them know I read their update, but I'm not overly chatty. I feel sort of like a 'Me too'er'. Add that I get busy at work and forget to check. I do try though.
  • Just to let everyone know that I *am* reading these. I don't want to be a poster that begins a topic and vanishes. I love my wife. She is the mother of our son, and my best friend. She (and he) are the reasons I want to lose weight. Follow along, this is kind of convoluted. I am a crappy husband and father. I'm angry most…
  • From my experience as a husband, weight gain is very likely, as is decreased sex drive.
  • This. <sigh>
  • What I wear at work on Friday.. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb111/MrUgly72/IMAG0024.jpg What I wear Mon-Thurs http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb111/MrUgly72/images.jpg **Edit** Dear Crom! How can I keep failing at linking images?
  • I completely understand. Today is the 2nd Annual Bake-Off. As soon as I figure out how, I will post a picture of our lunchroom, with a list of what they have. I think they enjoy taunting me. A list: Ricotta Cheese Cookies Raspberry Bars Red Velvet Cupcakes Honey Nut Cake Bar Gooey Bars Sweet Potato Meringue Pie Berry…
  • I have used MrUgly as my handle since about 1989. I was in high school chatting on a BBS that was fed from FIDONet. I got into an argument and the exchange got rather heated. My opposition was getting very cranked, mostly because I was baiting him (GASP, someone baiting anonymously?) and he types out, in all caps and 22…
  • I live in Harlyesville (Skippack) MontCo. Nice place, quiet neighbors, good schools. I work in Center City, so I make the trek to Lansdale and take Regional Rail. God Bless the Quiet Car.
