Was fit, got fat, heart attack, diabetes, heading back to fit!
I was 39 years old and in the shape of my life! I had a six pack and could run six miles in less than an hour. Then I met a girl... Suddenly I didn't have time for the gym anymore and it didn't matter, because I was happy. The weight creeped up gradually at first, but I always thought I could handle it. "I can lose the…

Last week I burned over 2000 calories a day at the gym (close to 1000 before work and I would make up the difference after work). I eat normally, but according to what I have read here I should be eating back the full 2000…

I excersize in the morning before work and then again after work (45 minutes to an hour each time). Last night I had to have a hotdog with dinner just to get my calories up to 1200. Didn't really want the hotdog, but I am…

Does anyone else find this ridiculously easy?
Makes me really question how I let myself gain 65lbs. in two and a half years. Just keeping track of this stuff and going to the gym has made such a difference! Besides using the food tracker here (I love the iPhone app with the barcode scanner!!!!) I now go to bed earlier and go to the gym for a quick 45 minute eliptical…

Competitive Guy
Hello! My name is Bill, I am 42, 5'11" and 234 lbs. I am going to a wedding in Mexico in July and would like to lose 50-60 lbs. by then. Always encouraged by competition, I was wondering if there is anyone else out there like me who would enjoy a little race for loss. This will by no means be a mean competition and I am…
