Here I go again...
At my 43 I already lost twice in my life 40Kg... one of them being very active here in MFP. I would not be here if I did not get the weight back so... yes, Im up to 138Kg (starting point 140Kg). This time my journey will go a bit slower as age makes all more difficult. Let´s hope for the 135-130-120-115 and one day if 110…

I did it my waaaaaaaaay!
Actually this is a reply that I posted to a certain thread but it might be interesting to anyone... I hope you enjoy it. Well, I can only tell about my own experience... of course that was not 100+lbs (which by the way I use KG) but it's been almost 80lbs. It is true that I lost the big chunk during the first 7 months but…

Vitamin D / Calcium / Crams
I train now a lot so, in my long runs, sometimes, i have crams in my calves. Long runs meaning 10km or above. I thought it was because the lack of salts, remember that here in Saudi the weather is really hot and humid so I lose a lot of water when i run. OK, i bought an hydration belt and I drink regularly. But still…

Who is dieting? not me!
I just want to share with you some thoughts that come to my head from time to time... I love reading people sharing experiences and tips in the different forums and I see the newbies coming to MFP looking for a "salvation" place where a "secret" will be revealed so to eat and lose weight. I will only say one thing: "I…

I OFFER!!
Yes, you are reading the correct word, "offer". I´ve been part of MFP for the last two hundred and something days... well, for the last 37kg loss. I always read newbies requesting support, encouragement, etc... but I never read someone coming here and telling: Hello, I am new in MFP and I offer all my support and sincerity…

Dear body and mind
Dear body and mind, It's been 36 years together, you body, you mind and me as a human being. That's time enough to know each other well. I remember all the good times when you, body, gave me the impression of being undefeatable, powerful, massive! That was a great feeling... at that time, mind, you were struggling with the…

It's all about commitment and balance
According MFP it's about 215+ days that I started my new life. Really new? Well, if not new yes very different. I lost 75pounds and reached my target weight but now I am just refining my shape. I was not able to run even half a mile and now my standard running session is about, at least, six miles in less than an hour. No,…

Inertial burning?
Well... I've been doing sports in a very regular basis during the last 6 months and I am very happy with the achievements I had. I wear my HRM while I do sports (Timex Ironman Global Trainer). When I run for one hour, for example, I burn like 1200kcal. I also train with a training group and I found that if I run 30 minutes…

My first Half Marathon
I know it, I know it... this is a very long post but... I needed to share it with you all! It was not that far in time when I was just what we call a "couch potato". I was not able to run even 100 meters without feel suffocated. I was 142kg heavy... overweight... obese. Then I reached a dead-end. I was too heavy and that…

NSV (Half a Marathon)
Well, I will put it here as a NSV because in fact it was... but I am sure that if i jump on the scale it would turn in a SV! I was running NOTHING like four months ago... I was 29kg fatter than now, and now I am 112kg and really close to my target weight (the first target was to lose 30kg!) The point is that this morning I…

TRX Force
I just began using TRX Force one week ago, and here you are my first impressions, maybe could help you if you are checking out the net for more infor about this "gadget". At the beginning is a little bit difficult to get used to it because is different than working out in the weight machines. When you workout in the…

I just had to admit it...
It's not that far away in the timeline, just two and a half or three months ago. I love eating... it's just a part of my culture as a Spanish citizen. Our long lunches, nice Mediterranean food, great friends around, long hours maintaining nice conversations after lunch, the coffees, and so on. On top of that I think that,…

Do you think im doing good or should i eat…

Success Story from day 1?
Hi friends, Today I will tell you a success story but is not based in how many kilos, pounds, stones, etc, someone is loosing or how much a body shape can change. When you are, like me, 142Kg, according to the doctors as "obese" and according to my mind as "just bigger than the others" and you try to find clothes, either…

Big challenge, starting is not that dificult...
Hey, I'm new here... just discovered this site some days ago. My challenge is to loose from 142Kg to 110Kg in the healthiest way.
