100 lb challenge June 15th
Happy Father's Day to any dads out there! Well, how is everyone doing? Has anyone set some mini goals for the next couple of weeks? Only two weeks left for June. I was thinking we should all try to weigh in once a week to share how we are doing. Just a thought, I will weigh in tomorrow morning and post, if you want to…

100 lb challenge June 13th
Noticed that people are dropping off so I figured we could make a daily or weekly check in. It is 2 weeks in and I am holding steady at 222.2, time to break the plateau and shock my body into conforming! Let's get moving and meet our goals for June, only 17 days left in the month! :happy:

What kind of LOSER are you?
Ok, I am reading a book and you may not agree with any of this but I thought I would throw it out there. Apparently there are 3 "diet types".... Type A These are people whom many consider "lucky". They are able to loosely follow a diet taking liberties by eating foods that are not part of the program and do little or no…

culinary festival...
My husband is a chef and today we had a culinary festival to attend for the 3 restaurants. Most of it I can pass on, of course my husband is long and lean and never seems to gain anything so he eats it all. I did pretty good, had a lamb chop, a little salad, etc (everything is bite sized). I did have a piece of vanilla…

Broke my own rule
Ok, I have a rule to only weigh in on Tuesday's when I am at the gym. I was so irritated with myself and my lack of motivation that after this past weeks weigh in I got my big butt back into action, eating right and exercising.... anyway, I got on the scale yesterday at the gym and I have lost 4 lbs this week, that has…

Lazy me
I have to admit I haven't been really focused on me lately, ok for the last 6 weeks or so. I have steadily gained back 10lbs since my summer vacation last year, over the course of a few months. I am so ticked off at myself for doing this. Today is a new day, back in action, eating what I should and I feel great. I made a…

ugh.....
So, my son placed second in the science fair at school. One of the rewards was a free meal at a buffet called the Golden Corral. He is 9 and was so excited to go get his free dinner so we went. Needless to say, NEVER again. This may offend some, but OMG, the food selection, all out of cans, the meat fatty and way to salty…

Ok, this is probably lame but....
Have you ever just impressed yourself with what you have just accomplished that you tear up? I just had the best workout I have had in months on the treadmill, I broke my all time record (may not be impressive to some) of 4.5 miles in an hour and today I did 5.5 miles in 59 minutes and I was cooling down and got so proud…

food food food
We have a lot of discussions on this site about what kinds of foods we should be eatting, there are those that like quick and easy prepackaged processed foods and there are those that are die hard real food fans. I thought everyone should take a look at a book I am reading, its called "in defense of food". This book really…

Confessions
Who out there is willing to admit what they are or are not doing with the information the site gives us and if they have been successful so far. Are you eatting all of your calories each day? Do you eat the bonus calories if you earn them? Are you exercising? Do you log everything in? Based on what you are doing what has…

hydration
Hey if any of you like sports drinks without artificial sweetner in them gatorade has G2 out now, it is half the calories as regular gatorade. I really like it, it is not as sugary as regular gatorade and it is a great thirst quencher after a long hard workout or if you are feeling dehydrated!

Not weight loss related
Hey all, I know this is completely off topic for this site but I am having trouble with a school teacher that isn't following up on her part and since discussing the 50+ school teacher is actually bullying my 9 year old. I know that the school principal does not have a great history of dealing with these kind of issues so…

WOW
What the hell is going on? just got back here after what appears to have been a long and dramatic weekend of hot and heavy postings and let me just say wow. We need to keep in mind that we are all here for support, one way or the other, and like icandoit and zenmama said, if you don't like it or whatever just leave it…

MYTH
ok, I am seeing a lot of people on here saying that muscle weighs more than fat....NOT TRUE Muscle is leaner and fat is bulkier. This is one of the reasons it is good to take your measurements at the start of a weight loss journey. Just to clarify, a pound is a pound is a pound. A pound is 16oz of whatever product. You…

what to do.....
Well I missed breakfast because of an early morning meeting and that also took up my usual workout time and like a dummy I didn't bring any snacks with me so at 12:30 I was starving and the guys on my radio show were going on and on about which fast food places had the best food and I started getting ready to go get a…

metabolic disorder
This is just FYI for all of you that yo yo and don't want to eat more than 1000 cals a day and then wonder why you don't loose weight or get so hungry and tired that you just binge eventually. I come from a long line of fatties, my mom, who still doesn't eat right, all of my aunts etc. Well my 42 year old aunt was just…

the body
"the body is going to do what the body wants to do when all is said and done" Quote from Bob Harper, biggest loser trainer. He was referencing how little weight people lost in the second week and that the body will do what is does when it feels major change. I thought this would be motivation for all of us out there that…

Breaking through a plateau
It is easy. increase your exercise by 20%. If you do 30 minutes of cardio then you need to do 36 minutes or if you are a distance person then if you walk 2 miles a session then you need to do 2.4. Another tip is to change the type of cardio you do, instead of walking get on a bike or get off the elliptical and get on the…

You know its the New Year...
I may get the wrath that Razboo got a month ago but long story short. Watching tv shows chronicalling weight loss and reading logs on website and found a common factor and that is that we are all the one thing that stands between us and true success with getting rid of our fat out of shape selves. I too used to wonder how…

Hello to all
Found this site by accident today and figured I would give it a try. I have a lot of weight to lose, joined a new gym a couple of weeks ago and now I really need to focus on what I am putting into my mouth so my *kitten* can start shrinking!
