Thank You Everyone
I just wanted to take a minute or two out of my day to thank everyone here on MFP. I have struggled with weight for some time now and decided to start doing something about it back in September of 2011. All of the information, tools, success stories, and most of all advice and support from everyone on here has been such a…

Random Hobbies and Talents
I thought I'd start something up to see if anyone else on here would like to share their pass times or hobbies. I have quite a few myself, but I think my main one would have to be singing. I've been passionate about singing since I was 3 years old. Unfortunately I haven't been keeping up with it in a while. I don't claim…

Fitness Challenge for Work
Good Morning everyone! I was thinking about running a fitness challenge at work and I need some insight or suggestions. We had a biggest loser type competition a few months back that was sponsored by the company. Although winning is motivation, the thought that you paid money to enter and might lose that money wasn't a…

Tough Mudder Complete
My brother and I ran the Tri-State Tough Mudder this past Saturday and I made a short video of some of the footage I was able to get from it. Thought I would share. This run was beyond a challenge and really pushed me to my limits, but I am proud to say that I finished it and even shed a few tears crossing that finish…

An Odd NSV
So I carpool to work with my roommate and he has a lowered suspension on his car. Ever since we started carpooling, when he would hit a bump or something his tires would rub on the fenders, but only on my side. Today while heading to work, his side was rubbing not mine! Guess hes got a little more weight on his side than I…

Another NSV WOOT!
So I've been putting off clothes shopping because I hate to spend money and then have to spend it again. So I waited about a year to buy more clothes. I dealt with things being baggy for way too long. I went to Target to buy some shirts for work. I am happily wearing a size Large Slim Fit button down and size 38 waist…

5K Mud Run Best Time
Hey everyone! I'm feeling amazingly proud of myself this week. I ran my 2nd 5K for the year on Sunday. Its an obstacle filled Mud Run in NY and I accomplished two feats. One, I was able to run the whole way through, no walking. Two, I beat my best time by a little over 3 minutes. Here is a link where I recorded the whole…

Running Success
So I've never been able to run well my entire life. 1/4 mile at a time was a challenge for me almost my entire life. I wasn't able to muscle through and push past that. Finally in the beginning of this year I was able to complete my first full mile. Since then I've been alternating running a mile to a mile and a half…

First Progress Pic
Ok, so today was the end of my jobs biggest loser competition and I did awesome. It motivated me to finally start a photobucket and make a progress picture compilation. Hopefully this works:

Showering before a Weigh in
I have my final 2 weigh ins for my biggest loser competition and I had a question. I want to try and get to the gym early in the AM before work, but I'm worried that I will absorb more water weight than I burn if I shower. Anyone have any hard facts or something regarding the issue?

Attempting a "5K"
So tonight I'm going to attempt to run a full 3 miles no stopping for the first time. I've been successful running 2 miles in under 18 minutes and I feel like I can do it. It'll be the furthest I've ever run without stopping in my life and a HUGE NSV for me. I'll let you all know how it goes later tonight.

Newfound love for Tofu
I've only ever had Tofu before in Hot and Sour Soup from the local chinese place, but since its in such tiny portions I never really had an opinion on it. Now that I'm altering my intake and really watching whats going into my body, I decided to try it out for my protein intake. Well I'll be damned, you mash some sweet…

Really trying and getting frustrated
Good morning all. I've been really putting a lot of work into trying to lose the final 24 lbs in my 100lb journey. I seem to have plateaued and I can't seem to break it. My diet seems to be pretty on point and I'm really working hard when I work out. I'm on my 4th week of Insanity and I even go to the gym afterwards. I…

Dietary Check
So I altered my diet a little bit and I was wondering if a few people could check it out and let me know if I'm on the right track. I'm trying to drop 24lbs by the end of the year or come as class as I can at least. My diary is open and I welcome any and all criticism and questions. I'm an open book with plenty of side…

Dietary Help
I've been in a Biggest Loser Competition at work for a little over a month now and I'm down about 8% body weight. Roughly about 20lbs. I track my diet religiously now, but I can't seem to meet my caloric goals. I Have been doing insanity for a little over 2 weeks, but I'm not seeing much result as far as weight loss. I eat…

Insanity Trackin on MFP
So a quick question. Other than "Generic Cardio", how is everyone else tracking their Insanity workouts on the site?
