Second place by .3lbs
Still happy with these results. I signed up for a challenge at work, roughly 25 people signed up as well. It started October and ended this week. The goal was to not gain any weight, 3 separate weigh in dates, and the person who lost the most won a prize of their choice. Skip to yesterday, I get a call while in a…

Lost almost 20 pounds... Then had a huge cheat day.
Yesterday was awesome. I stepped in the scale and I was 204! I'm 4 pounds away from my short term goal. I haven't weighed this since before I got out of the Army. Then I was invited to a buffet with the in-laws. I decided it was a cheat meal and put 18000 calories (or something like that) in MFP out of fun and went to…

I hurt my leg!! (insert sad face)
Two night ago I woke up and my knee was in horrible pain. I bent it and it popped with shooting pain. I figured it may have been a fluke. I got to work and started climbing the ladder to go up a telephone pole and each step up was painful. Last night was much much worse. I woke up in pain, bent my leg, knee popped and it…

Do you ever wake up and say "screw it" for a day?
How slippery of a slope is it? I usually wake up and take the dogs for a 3 mile jog but this morning... Not feeling it. I plan on tracking what I eat still but the whole moving thing just does not seem interesting today.

Convict conditioning workout length question
So I just started up CC and it's been an odd adjustment. According to the plan I am supposed to work two groups a day, three days a week. The problem I am having is that if I follow the plan from the level one section I'm only working out for about 15 minutes. Example: 2 sets of 25 wall push-ups. Going very slow to make…

Cardio then strength?
I'm just curious if getting into running before strength training is a wise idea. I, thankfully, seem to have excellent muscle memory from my time in the service. I can go a year without doing anything but seem to get back to my goal of push ups, squats, and crunches within a week of working out. However, I currently…

I'm getting picky with food suddenly!
Before counting calories I would eat just about anything and regardless of age... Sometimes gross I know but whatever. Anyhow, it seems like everyday I look at my foods before I complete my entry and think "Well that's a lot of calories! What a waste, guess I'm sticking away from that now so I can fit better food in."…

Just now realizing there is a community here!
Hello world! I'm 31 and weigh 217lbs as of two weeks ago. I haven't stepped on the scale since then, as I don't want to get discouraged. A tad bit of backstop. About 7 years ago a pretty heavy event threw me into a bad place mentally. I went from out going thrill seeker to introverted hermit. To remedy the anxiety and…
