M/30/6'2 [309 to 180] (1.5 years) A decent amount of pics.
Hello all, I just wanted to throw in a bit about my success story as well. Long story short I was a really bad alcoholic, to the point where I was closing in on liver issues, and was hospitalized a time or two. With help from an inpatient supervised program, I was able to get off the alcohol, and since then have completely…

Good home gym?
Hello all, I am not a big fan of actually going to the gym, typically because it is very busy around here, I hate waiting around and having to jump on a machine before someone else and all that. I typically run every day, and have some room in my house and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for what I can do…

Eatsmart Getfit scale. Review say it is very accurate for bodyfat, but it is wayyyyy off for me?
Hello all, I just got the Eatsmart Getfit scale, and it seems like it would/should be awesome, but it seems to be really off? I bought it, and a clamp style bodyfat measuring tool. The scale comes back saying I am only 10% bodyfat, then today 9.8%. Yet I am easily over 20% according to the clamp thingy. Anyone else have or…

For those with a Gear Live watch, Endomondo supports constant heart rate monitoring!
Hey all, I was a big fan of Runtastic for a while, but it did not support my Gear Live and its built in heart rate monitoring. I came across Endomondo, and it works great with my watch as a constant heart rate monitor while working out. It has a lot of neat features as well. I definitely recommend it! Dan

It gets easier, and actually enjoyable!
5 months, 102 lbs down, and I actually look forward to exercising each day. I feel *kitten* if I DON'T do it. Keep at it! Don't think of switching out soda for water as a bad thing, think of it as putting premium in your tank, and go hit the road! I quit alcohol, cigarettes, video games, in exchange for water, fresh air,…

95lbs~ down, a bit about me saving my own life.
I was an extreme alcoholic for many years, to the point of liver damage. I was drinking over 4,000 calories a day in just vodka, not counting the gatorade I mixed it with and when I would go out every night and have whisky and coke. On top of that, that did not include any food I ate either. I was up to 309 until I had to…
