I am going to die...(lol)
Ok, now that I have your attention...this post is mainly meant as a tongue in cheek joke, especially to those people that feel the need to post at least once a day, a topic related to the "horrible death effects" of diet drinks (which we all know....again) So here we go!!! I am going to die. This is my farewell letter to…

Insanity.....GRADUATE!!!!! 5/29/11 w/ pics!!!
A little backround about me...I started my weight loss journey on 1/3/11, I was 304.5 pounds. Changed my diet, and started doing light exercises. Worked up to Zumba (go ahead and giggle....it's alright :laugh: ) and JM 30- Day Shred. But I needed something more challenging. So I ended up receiving Insanity as a gift. I was…

Odd or different ways to consume your Protein Shake.
Hopefully I'm not the only one that has an odd/different use for my protein shake. I will start by saying, my breakfast rarely changes. I look forward to it, and it's delicious, so there's no reason to change it up (at least not until I get completely bored...lol). Anyway. my morning breakfast consists of the following:…

My NSV's!!!
Figured I'd post a few of these and if anyone else want to, feel free to post up yours. Going from a size 40 to a 36 waist pant. Having to put 2 more notches in my belt (I think I may put a 3rd tomorrow- I refuse to buy a new belt!) Fitting so much better into my clothes (because they don't have to go over the big belly…

Target Heart Range
How does one go about figuring out their target heart range. I finally went out and bought a HRM, and it has a setting for minimum/maximum heart rate (w/ alarm) and I would like to be able to set it accuratley. I found a few sites on line w/ calculators, but they all came up with different numbers. Thanks for the info!!!

My Clothes Don't Fit...AND I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!
Ok, now that I've got your attention....I am not really unhappy about it. I have gone from a size 40-42 pant (depending on brand) to a size 36. Which is awesome. My xxl polo shirts for work fit better than ever, and I've even squeezed into a few xl shirts (and they weren't tight). I even fit into some of my xxl t-shirts…

How to lose 5 pounds a week.
As some of you may have seen in a previous topic, the 5 pound a week weight loss topic is a rather heated one. It seems to be the major consensus that 5 pounds/week is an unhealthy weight loss. I want to post this, not to cause controversy or arguments, but to point out that a good majority of us on MFP are not…

Walking foot pain???
Ok, so...I'm fat...and I'm ok with that. But to add to the problem of my fatness, I have perfectly flat feet (yes perfectly flat- as in, if I take my socks off and put my fut down, there is no arch at all). Anyway, I decided to buy Skecher Shape-Ups (I'm not here to debate whether these work or not), I am here to ask if…

Sugar vs Sugar Alcohol
Ok, I tried looking this up under a google search, and got rather confused with the medical jargon answers that I found. I am trying to cut out "sugar" as much as I can from my diet. I have converted over to Splenda for my coffee or tea, and try to avoid all items that have "sugar" in the ingredients. I eat natural sugars…

How do I calculate calorie loss?
Ok, so I decided to try a workout video (I found it "On Demand" for free from my cable provider. It was called "Power Curcuit Total Body with Jackie Warner." It was a good 30-40 minutes of cardio (it's supposed to include some minor weights, but I don't have any dumbells, so I just did the exercises with no weights).…

My intro.
Hey everybody, my name is MIke. I am 34, and started my weight loss on January 2nd (I was 304.8 lbs). I was introduced to My Fitness Pal a week ago, so it doesn't reflect my true weight loss which is sitting at 17.8 lbs in 24 days). Does anyone know how to go in and show a starting weight? I'm not doing anything special…
