Supreme 90 Leg's DVD
Does anyone have an extra or unused copy of the Supreme 90 Leg's workout DVD? We recently discovered the package I bought from Walgreens a few months back was missing that disc, and the receipt is no where to be found. I contacted the distributor but the operator from India wasn't much help, so if you have a copy to…

Running NSV's!
I ran my first 10K this morning, previous best was 5 miles, did 6.25 this morning. Also set a new PR for amount of time running, ran for 59:28...I NEVER thought I could ever run for an hour, especially last fall when I felt like I was going to die doing 60 second runs in C25k! This was a GREAT way to start the week!

Need to vent: Tired of comments
Sorry, been through this before, as others have...I just need to vent. So far today I have heard that I need to eat more, I need to stop running (since that is the obvious cause of the weight loss) and I'm beginning to look sickly. Given, 2 of the three comments came from people who have the tendency to find the dark cloud…

Got a new suit
I went suit shopping last week, I kind of had to. I generally purchase my suits from "G&W Men's Wear"...also known as Goodwill to many! My reasoning is I generally wear a suit for an hour a week, when I preach on Sunday morning, and that is it; so there is no point in me paying big money for something that will sit in my…

Having to defend your health
Does anyone else have to defend their health to others? I've lost 53 pounds over a year...hardly a quick weight loss. My body has changed considerably, I actually have a jawline for the first time ever. I feel great, a lot healthier as a 40 year old than i was as a 30 year old. And for the first time in my life I'm a…

Crazy shopping NSV
We went out shopping this afternoon and saw the clearance racks at Bealls, so we decided to check them out. Found a polo shirt, size large, good price, my wife thought it looked a bit big so she found a medium and gave it to me to try on...and it fit like a glove over my t-shirt. A MEDIUM! I think the last time I wore a…

Beware the cleanng "exercise"
I know this has been addressed before, often...but just wanted to mention it one more time! If you count your house cleaning as exercise, beware the actual calories you might be burning. Today I shampooed the carpets in our house, 3 rooms, took a little less than 90 minutes and my HRM said I burned 101 calories, which I…

Mission Accomplished!
On March 19, 2010 I sat with my wife on my bed, just a couple weeks after turning 39 and told her that I needed to change some things. With my 40th birthday looming in a year I told her that I felt it was now or never for finally getting healthy and I needed some help. We agreed to help each other and both set a goal of…

Healthy BMI!
I jumped on the scale this morning hoping to not be up before the weekend and was shocked to see 168.6...this puts me half a pound from my goal but also puts my BMI at 24.9...which is in the HEALTHY range! This is the least I've weighed since high school! Now I can focus on toning and getting the 39 years of pudge that I…

Now 25% off!
My all time high weight was 230 pounds, today I weighed in at 172.4...that is a loss of 57.6 pounds, which is 25% of my highest weight! This is great because I had a rough weekend and actually was anticipating a gain! Need this on a Monday!

The ring fits!
I stopped wearing my class ring (New Iberia Senior High class of 89...Geaux Yellow Jackets!) after getting married in 1996 because I'm not a jewelry type of person; not long after I just couldn't wear it because it didn't fit. This morning, out of curiosity, I pulled it out of my wife's jewelry box to try it it and IT FIT!…

Very filling breakfast!
So good, quick and easy, I think I will share! 1 serving of 3 Minute Oats (1/2 cup oats and 1 cup water cooked in microwave), 1 tbsp lowfat sweetened condensed milk, 1 tbsp kroger reduced fat peanut butter, 1 small banana cut up. Mix milk and peanut butter into cooked oats, add bananas and enjoy! 367 calories, 10g fat, 63…

Losing too fast?
I've lost 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks, maybe even less. This came after hitting a plateau for a couple of weeks. I honestly am worried about losing to fast right now. I'm working on my last 10 pounds and recently reset my goals here on MFP after hitting a 10 pound goal which also lowered my calorie intake. I'm thinking…

Any other Pastors or Ministers?
I'm a pastor and last week at a pastor's dinner i was reminded the importance of what i'm doing in trying to get healthy...not just to lose weight, but to live. Far too often ministers tend to have that "dunlap" problem, which is one of the things i'm working on myself. I was wondering if there are any other pastors or…

Losing weight and being cold
OK, dumb question alert: I'm usually very hot natured, but in recent weeks I've noticed I've been colder a bit more often, is this normal when you lose weight? Does losing 40 pounds of "insulation" not keep you as warm? Now I'm going blow on my fingers and try to thaw them out as you respond!

180.2!
I may be a bit like the lame stream media in the 2000 Presidential election...but I'm going to call it anyway. I DID IT! 40 pounds weight loss since March of 2010! And what is even crazier for me is that I have actually lost 50 pounds from my all time high of 230 pounds that I hit about 3 years ago! Yes people, it can be…

2nd 5K...big improvement!
Ran my first 5K about a month ago, official finish time as 29:01...this morning was my 2nd race, finished with an unofficial time of 25:18! About 3:45 knocked off my time! WOO HOO! Equally proud of my wife, she did her first 5K this morning, after walking the first 5 minutes she still finished it running in about 33:20!

Seriously???
God bless the ladies of my church. As their pastor they have seen me shrink over the last 9 months, and they have been so sweet to compliment me often and sometimes tell me i have lost either too much or enough weight (BMI says different though). They are such an encouragement...but when they leave food on my desk, not so…

20% down!
A little over 3 years ago, in the fall of 2007, I participated in a First Place Bible study and weighed in at 230 pounds! Over the next few months I did manage to get down to about 200 pounds, only to see 20 of it creep back over the next couple of years. This past March, when I turned 39, I decided enough was enough and…

Making progress
My high is 230, no pics available from back then, and I started MFP at about 210, after losing about 10 pounds from March to June. The first pic is from May with my wife, about 215 pounds and the 2nd was a little over a week ago, at about 186 pounds. When i found that first picture on my camera it blew me away, i didn't…

First 5K ran!
Verily, verily I say unto thee, the fat boy hath runneth! Ran my first 5K this morning, the Jingle Bell Run in Lake Charles, LA and finished it in 29:04 if I'm not mistaken. My time was a bit off from what I have been running at the track, I think the hardness of the road compared to the rubberized track made that…

Couch to 5K done!
It took an extra week due to recovering from an ankle sprain from attempting to play soccer over a week ago...but i can finally say I HAVE COMPLETED C25K! I accidentally shut my phone down so i lost at least a 1/3 of mile while it rebooted, so i don't know my overall distance, but it was about a 1/4 lap more than the…
