A wall is...

But, its origin came from some pretty tramatic events. In mid-2010, I was on a roll in working out and dropping weight. Then, I noticed I began to lose feeling in my hip…

Workouts are best when..

Big.. but not so tall.
Greeting, y'all. Currently, I weighed in at 315 this morning, down from 337 in mid-March. Plan is to drop down to 250 as my first major goal, then push on from there. I set mini-goals for myself in 5 pounds blocks. Its a great motivational tool to use. Best of luck to you all! Sarge

Hey, y'all!
I was hoping I'd find a group of low country people. Workout pretty regular at PF in Northwoods Mall. But, nothing beats a good stroll on the beach like I did this past Sunday.

Process, not product
Good morning, y'all. I see a common post all the time about going days or a couple weeks without weight loss. I think it wise to look at a few things to help everyone understand what is happening. First, focus on the process and don't worry about the product. The process is diet, exercise, and a complete change in…
