Hello, 34-waist Levi's jeans....
... it's been a long time... what's it been, 20 years? How you been? Anyway, welcome home. Just set a spell on the bed there... right on top of those 42-waist jeans I was wearing earlier this year. :bigsmile:

Goodbye, 200
199 this morning... down from all-time high of 255 a little over a year ago. I was 235 on May 1 of this year when I committed to getting fit. I was 227 on June 2 when I started mfp. Thanks so much to my mfp friends for their support. :smile: Me at 199... sorry for yellowishness... bad, Anthony Weiner bathroom mirror photo…

Your first concert....?
This might be fun... (then again, maybe not). Share your first concert memory. Who was the headliner? Where was the venue? What year? Did you have fun.... get wild? I'll start: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Boston Garden, 1981. Awesome show... I was 16. Drank vodka for the first time in my life. :sick:

Actual serving size of Emerald Smoked Almonds??
I know I could answer this by dumping out all the almonds, counting them and dividing by 11, but I thought I'd try this way first... The serving size listed on the label of a container of these almonds is 1 oz. and 170 calories. There are 11 servings in the container, according to the label. I don't know how many almonds…

When's the last time...
... you listened to a song by Huey Lewis and the News?

Guilty Pleasure Band/Singer ?
You love them unapologetically. You never earned any "cool" points among your friends, but you remained loyal anyway. Which singers/ bands are your guilty pleasure? Mine's easy... Huey Lewis and the News. :glasses:

NCV (non-cigarette victory)
Today is the one-year anniversary of my last cigarette. I had originally quit in 1985, while I was in the Navy, but started again in '08 when I was going through a painful divorce. I was up to about a pack of Marlboro Reds per day when I quit, cold-turkey last July 15. Combined that with the relatively new (2.5 months)…

"Doing the Fonda Workout....
... the PETER Fonda Workout.... That's where I sleep till about 11:30, then I get up and take a hit of acid... Then I go to my sister's house and borrow some money. " (Stolen from a great stand-up comic named Kevin Meaney, circa 1987) :)

Advice -- Fish Chowder
I'm going to my parents' later today, and my mom is serving Fish Chowder for dinner... the kind she picks up by the container at the local (north of Boston) fish market. They make it right there, and the ingredients are on the label, but I don't think nutritional info is. I won't know till I get there. Anyway, I did a…

Getting there (pics)
In March of 2010, I weighted 255. Here's a photo: I lost some of that over the next year, with some exercise and some modifications of my horrible diet, but only got down to about 235. A month and a half ago, I got serious... running on a treadmill at the gym and lifting. Also using myfitnesspal to monitor all food intake…

Let's go Bruins !
Big game tonight. Lose, and the Cup belongs to Vancouver. Win, and it's back to Vancouver Wednesday for a winner-take-all Game Seven. I was in kindergarten when Bobby Orr scored to win the Stanley Cup for Boston in 1970, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I had the Boston Sunday Herald magazine's front-page photo of…

Single dad getting fit
I went kind of backwards, posting a couple of days ago in the "Success Stories" section before ever introducing myself here. I'm Jack, a divorced, devoted father of two boys. In about 2005, I had my weight near where I wanted it, (sub-200) by working out regularly and eating right. Then I got divorced (not my idea, wife of…
