Commitment
“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the…

Better from behind?
Okay, it's Friday, so I'm venting a pet peeve - Someone replaced the toilet paper in the bathroom here at work, and they hung it so that the paper unrolls off the BACK side. THAT'S NOT HOW IT GOES! I HATE THAT! It's ALMOST worse than the people who install c-fold paper towels upside down, so you have to claw stupidly at…

Any other 'Murkins out there working on the 4th?

How to keep the motivation going?
This isn't a "Woe is me, I'm bored, it's too HARD" post. This is a "Okay, I'm feeling really damned good, why not stop now?" post. According to my doctor, MFP and all sundry resources on the web, when I started this journey I stood to lose at LEAST a good 70 lbs. I've lost 40. I feel GREAT. I'm running 5Ks. I'm biking all…

Am I mad? Also: Not so keen on Flat Top Grill
Okay - I think I'm going nuts here. I hit an all-time low at 226.5 yesterday. I was giddy. This morning, I am 230.5. That's FOUR POUNDS UP IN ONE DAY. I exercised my butt off ("not all of it, sir, you still got a little left right there...") - biked to/from work, to/from the library, to/from dinner. Situps. Nordictrack. I…

MyCokeRewards codes
Hey y'all. Our company feeds us free 12-packs of coke products. I've been hoarding the code numbers from the boxes, but since all their prizes (IMNSHO) suck donkey booty, I have not turned them in. Instead, I will type them in here! So feel free to copy/paste to your heart's content. First come, first served, which I…

Wait a second - MFP calculated WHAT?
Hi all - I'm 35 lbs down and very happy. In fact, since starting this thing in january, I decided to reclassify myself from "Sedentary" to "lightly active." So I did so in my settings - and after applying the changes, my daily "allowed" calories went DOWN. Only by 50/day, but they went DOWN. Wouldn't being "lightly active"…

A data point for the frustrated out there...
I hit 229.5 a couple of days ago - the lowest I've been since joining this site. I ran a calorie deficit the past two days. I went for a 5K run this morning, burned ~500 cals and sweated TONS. I got home, shed the sweaty clothes and weighed in before eating or drinking anything. My weight? UP TWO POUNDS. That's in a couple…

Watched "The Cabin in the Woods" over the weekend...
... having heard that Joss Whedon was one of the writer/directors, and I have to say I was NOT disappointed. Has anyone else out there enjoyed this little marvel? Without, y'know, spoiling the story for others of course...

JM: Compare 30 Day Shred to Ripped in 30?
Hey guys - I've been doing "Ripped in 30" for a while now - but more treating it as a supplemental workout, rather than a real 30-day program. I can more or less get through week two without wishing I were dead. (Or, more to the point, that she were...) Last week I found a copy of "30 Day Shred" at a local resale shop for…

NSV time!
We live at the top of a hill. On very rare occasions, I will bike to/from work (mostly because I have to drive the kids to school on the way) but on Tuesday I was able to make it happen. Coming home from ANY ride is always a hoot and a half because that last 1/4 mile is all uphill. Historically I've popped it in low gear…

A personal tragedy... eating back calories!
Well, between having to walk the dog, a new Killian Michaels' workout DVD and changing a mysteriously flat tire this morning - not to mention the walk to work after dropping the car at Firestone to have the tire dealt with - I find myself with 1,300 calories left to eat at dinnertime. I DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT!…

Out of the mouths of babes...
Okay, so I've been doing this for about 4 months now. Started out Nordictracking, then some "Ripped in 30" and finally up to running (the C25K plan. Ow.). I'm down three belt notches, 28 pounds, and feel great. This morning I looked in the mirror, tightened up my blossoming abs, and gave myself a punch in the belly. It did…

Do the calories count if... (NSFL)
Okay, so for the first time in AGES, after visiting BD's Mongolian BBQ for lunch, it shot right through me after I got back to work. I was entering the ingredients into MFP and it occurred to me... Does it really count if I didn't actually *absorb* any of it? Please discuss.

Moobs vs. Gut: The Gut is losing!
My first non-belt-hole related NSV. No pic, sorry ;) Realized with a pullover shirt on that my gut isn't poking out anymore - it's hanging straight down from my chest. WHICH leads to my next question - when do they stop being Moobs, and start being Chest Muscles? :)

You know what I hate?
People complaining about complainers. I think we should ban people who complain about complainers. (But people who complain about complaining about complainers? They're still ok.)
