Add me...again
So a little over a year ago I had great success using this site and went from just under 200 pounds to 155. I was able to stay there by maintaining healthy eating habits and a good workout regimen. Recently, I have started recruiting duty and had to adjust to a completely different schedule for working out and eating and…

Question?
If girls want guys to look at their face and not their chest, why do use a picture of their breasts as a profile pic. Not complaining, just wondering.

Weaknesses
So there are a few weak spots in my diet. Seems like whenever I see it, I just have to have it. Luckily it is only a few things, but they are as follows: Taco Bell (even though I think it has been at least 3 months since the last time I had some), Arizona Arnold Palmer Lite Half and Half, Cadbury Creme Eggs, chocolate and…

My NSV for today
In the Marine Corps it is required that we wear an olive drab undershirt while we are in our working uniform. I have had an under-armour brand "skivvie" (that is what we call them) shirt for quite some time now. For those of you not familiar with the brand, they make the clothes fit almost (if not) skin tight. I was…

Even more motivation...
I recently found out I may be getting the duty assignment I wanted. Hopefully I will be stationed where I would like to go as well. That would be Florida. St. Petersburg to be exact. Land of beaches, babes and the Bucs. Woo Hoo. Now I am happily married, so this doesn't really matter to me, but it would be nice to not be…

Running is enjoyable?
I have been in the Marine Corps for almost ten years now. It has always been a must that we run. And after we are done running, we run some more. Run, run, run and run! Up until about five months ago, I have hated running. I don't know what changed, but around that same time is when I started focusing on my weight , my…

Oh No! What do I do?
Tonight is pizza night at my house and that usually includes a beer or two and maybe ice cream afterwards. I do not want to violate a family tradition so what do I do? I enjoy the heck out of my pizza, beer and ice cream. It is one meal, for one day out of the month. So what if I cheat a little. I will make up but cutting…

Can you tell?
So I took my last progress pics three weeks ago. I took the new ones last night. I have only lost a pound since then, but I think I can tell why. As they say muscle weighs more than fat. Maybe I am just optimistic, but I think I see a difference (other than the hair lol). What do all of you think? I have increased my…

How do you....
post side by side pictures? Do you edit them using another program first? I am an idiot when it comes to computers.

Push-ups?
So I have noticed that most people do push ups one of two ways- elbows pointed out to the side or elbows tucked in and pointed towards their feet. My question is does it still work the same muscles or would doing them both ways be considered a different workout?

How is this for a NSV?
I noticed this morning that I no longer jiggle when I brush my teeth. My belly and man boobs used to be all over the place while I was brushing. Still a little movement in the belly, but no where near what it was before. My wife also seems to be taking advantage of the new sexier me. I am enjoying that greatly!

Side effect of getting fit?
Just out of curiosity, has anyone else here noticed an increase in sexual stamina since they have began their journey to fitness. I have noticed and increase in my "lasting time" if you catch my drift. Just another positive side effect of exercise I suppose. :wink:

Ground Beef Suggestions?
Since my wife decided to tell me as I just walked in the door from work she doesn't feel like cooking dinner, any suggestions for 97% lean ground beef. Don't really feel like spaghetti tonight, but I am tired and that is all that is coming to mind. Please help. I have about 780 calories until I hit my goal today so throw…

All Natural Pop Chips
I don't know if anyone else has tried these but they are friggin amazing. They are 100 calories, 3g fat (0 sat and 0 trans), 160g sodium and 15g carbs per serving but the same size as a *big grab* of Doritos. The entire bag is one serving and contains about 20 chips. They are not friend or baked but pressure cooked. They…

Several NSVs over the last two days
So yesterday I was able to fit into a size 32" waist pants I bought last year and they were falling off without a belt. Two months ago 36" were snug. I need to buy a new belt. This morning, after my shower at the gym, I wrapped the towel around my waist as usual. Started at my belly button as usual, and I used to also tuck…

20 pounds down/20 to go w/pics
I started my diet when I seen these pictures of myself on vacation with my family. I didn't realize how big I had gotten and was quite disgusted with myself. That was back at the end of March. Soon after I started my diet a friend of my wife told me about MFP and I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. She still likes…

Strength Training Tips
Hello all. I have recently upped my cardio and was looking to do the same with my strength training. I currently include push-ups, crunches and pull-ups with my running. What strength training exercises are the best to include in a weight loss plan? I am sure there is no one size fits all answer to this but some pointers…
