LET'S KICK THIS PIG!!!
Introduction: Hi. I'm Rob. Whew! Feels good to be back on here. I joined MFP back in very early 2011. I had already started working out with some co-workers and had begun losing some weight even before I joined. At one point I was running 3-4 times a week, 2-4 miles each time and counting all my calories. I felt great and…

Blasphemy
I know it is Vidya Game heresy to say this but I must admit... I don't like the Fallout games... I know, I know, I'm a bad gamer. In particular I'm obviously a bad PC gamer as we are supposed to love all things Bethesda due to their mod seen. I've tried about 8 hours of Fallout New Vegas and about 15 hours of Fallout 3.…

Heroes of the Storm
Anyone else playing this in here? I suck at it and I'm mostly just playing AI, but I'd love to group up with anyone interested. I play games in the evenings often after 9pm est.

Yep... I'm becoming one of "those people"...
Okay, I never thought I’d be one of “those people”. You know; that annoying person at work that says running is “fun”. He’s the guy that said that it is only while running that he can clear his mind and just focus on the task at hand. You remember when that guy said he CRAVES running? How freaking weird was that? What kind…

Humble Bundle
Anyone else pick up the current Humble Bundle. Whole buncha 2K games. XCOM EU, XCOM Declassified, Bioshock 1, 2, and Infinite, Mafia 2, Spec Ops the Line and at least one yet to be named. Wondering if it'll be Borderlands 2.

Destiny alpha
Anyone else play the alpha this past weekend? I had a complete blast.

No ESO, bought Skyrim instead
So I took part in the ESO Beta weekends and was left unimpressed. I loved Skyrim but hadn't played since I sold my Xbox 360. I broke down and bought the legendary edition off of GreenManGaming ($32 after coupon). OMG this game is still excellent and drained 6 hours from my life just last night... Does anyone else still…

Traded my Xbox One for a PS4
I finally did it. I made the switch. I have not owned a PS anything since about 2002 when I chose the original Xbox over the PS2. I was originally set to buy a PS4 this generation when Microsoft announced their DRM and always online crap (even when they retracted it I still had a bad taste in my mouth). But I came across a…

Battlefield 4 Still Playing
Just bought this for the Xbox One. Looking forward to playing it and didn't know who here plays it on the Xbox One. From everything I hear you really need to be with a group and coordinated. I also admit I am doing this because it looks fun, but I mostly suck at Modern Military FPS.

Leaving WoW Again
I'm not a WoW hater. I'm not an MoP hater. In fact I love the game. I think the current expansion is one of the greatest products they've ever put out. In fact, there is so much to do and play at endgame that I am again finding myself playing way too much. I realized the other day that I am way to immersed in the game and…

A Confession
I'm confessing this morning that I have not been consitently logging my food... I know, I know... For the first 60lbs or so I was able to get away with it. But I have plateaued the last few months or so. I've maintained my weightloss over the last 6 months, but I've not lost anymore. Even as I have ramped my exercise back…

Playoffs are over...
Okay football fans, the playoffs are over. I've been letting myself splurge way too much on snacks while watching football (half a bag of Doritos and a whole bunch of Peanut M&Ms... two weekends in a row... plus my normal foods...)... It's time to get back on the fit wagon. Who's with me? Who else is committed to their…

Work NSV
I'd have posted before but I've been too busy at work to get a chance. Wednesday while waiting for a training a coworker mentioned that she started a weight loss bet with her better half, and that she started running on the treadmill. She said when she was on the treadmill she kept thinking about me and how far I've come…

Progress PIC
I've been feeling kinda stuck lately. I've not lost in about a month and a half. Totally my doing, life and everything else has been getting in my way (birthdays, vacations, work trips, car buying, etc...). I've not gained anything though. I thought looking at my progress may be helpful. I also had a birthday about a week…

NSV
I have 2 for today 1. Today we find out if we're having a boy or girl!!! 2. A coworker complimented me on how well I was running the parking deck the other day. It's a good day

Jogging NSV
I invited a neighbor to jog with me this morning. He is about an inch taller and approximately 35lbs lighter. My goal was to do 2-3 miles. Normally I jog the first 2 miles straight and walk a quarter lap and then jog the rest. Well my NSV is that I had to actually slow down for my friend. We had to start taking…

Gotta buy new pants
These pants are from my heaviest (344). They are size 54. I realize now I really need to breakdown and buy some new pants... I was able to button some old size 44s but they were waaaaayyy too tight to wear comfortably. I'm thinking I'm probably a 47-48 now... We'll see when I get to the store.

After fad dieting and crash dieting for years going back to just keeping it simple and sticking to it is what has finally worked. I'm below 300…

NSV "Inspiration"
I send out occasional emails to some of my officemates/workout buddies letting them know my progress. All of them are much smaller than me but they were instrumental in geting me started on the weight less journey by working out with me and being very positive, so I like to keep them informed of the actual numbers on…

How accurate is it?
I'm looking for opinions on how accurate you find the MFP exercise calorie calculators to be. For example, MFP says I burn loads and loads of calories while mowing my lawn, its a push mower and i know it's a workout, but I'm not nearly as tired after mowing as I am after running/Lifting. It has me only burning slightly…

To eat back or not...
Just want thoughts on the idea of eating back exercise calories or not and or how far under the daily goal is still okay. My current weight is 317lbs and MFP gives me a goal of 2060 calories a day. Now that I record my food I find myself eating less and generally am a few hundred under my limit each day. I'd say I consume…

Kick this PIG!!! what's your Battle Cry?
My family has a Motto; well really it's a Battle Cry; "KICK THIS PIG!!!". I introduced this expression to my family about 6 months ago as the phrase I would yell from the driver's seat after picking up my 2 boys from after-school care. They caught onto it real quick and started saying it on their own, particularly in the…
