I was sick and tired of being sick and tired (31/M 60+ lbs lost)
I've been overweight most of my life, and at times my BMI has crept toward morbidly obese. I always told myself "I'll start on Monday," or "This is just too hard, why even bother?" In 2007 I was supporting 270+ lbs on my 5'10" frame, and I was sick all the time. I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and…

Hair all over the shower?
Don't get it, I mean, I make sure I keep the toilet seat down and that I rinse the sink after I shave, what's the deal with ladies clogging the shower drain with their long hair?

I have a confession... The REAL reason I started running.
Most people assume that I started running because I wanted to get in shape... But that's not really why.

NSV - Little victories
I've been slowly and steadily losing weight over the past 6 months or so, but there are all sorts of little victories that aren't always evident on the scale. For example, I saw some friends I haven't seen in a few months and they were surprised at my weight loss. My loss had actually slowed during that period, but the…

This is a time to change
Well, I am committed this time. I have said this before, but this time it's different. I'm getting older and I haven't got any healthier living the way I have been for the past 29 years. I want to not always feel like garbage, I don't want to feel like an 80 year old man every day I get up and have to deal with a sore back…
