That's a great idea, Flick! Since he's been born, he has already put on just about as much weight as I have lost...

Good afternoon, my friends... I know, I know... it's been a while. However I wanted to give a quick update on what's been happening in my neck of the woods over these past five months... First and foremost, on June 19th, my wife gave birth to our first child... a beautiful little boy named...

I hope everyone had a nice weekend...back to reality! My wife and I spent the weekend putting the baby's nursery together... definitely a struggle in the house we live in, but we're making the best of what we have. Needless to say, I can't wait until I can afford to move into a bigger, newer...

I kept hearing all these stories about how I would gain a bunch of "sympathy weight" during my wife's pregnancy, so I wanted to prove everyone wrong. I haven't lost as much as I wanted to lose so far, but I also haven't gained anything either... so I consider that a minor accomplishment. My...

Thanks, K8! I appreciate the support... and congratulations on the birth of your son! My wife and I are less than three months away from the birth of our first child... and it's REALLY starting to sink in these days!

Feeling really good about my increased willpower... yesterday was the first St. Patrick's Day in a LONG time where I didn't over-indulge on food and booze. I will admit, I did treat myself to a modest portion of corned beef and potatoes, but I didn't go back for seconds, and stayed away from...

YXLON (kind of a stretch, but here's the proof: YXLON - industrial X-ray inspection systems and CT systems)

A-ha! Well that makes perfect sense. Pancake Tuesday (sort of) equals Mardi Gras. People indulge a bit too much, which makes Ash Wednesday a bit easier to swallow (no pun intended) Thanks for the insight... hope everyone is doing well this week and staying strong!

Thanks for the encouragement, Dreamer... yeah, it still hasn't fully sunk in yet, but I'm definitely excited about it. I have a random question... can someone explain to me what Pancake Tuesday is all about? Is there some historical or religious significance to that day, or is it simply just a...

OK folks... my training starts today. This will be my second attempt to get through C25K... made it half way through last time, and I could really feel the difference inside. However I wasn't too devoted to the dieting so I fell off track (not literally!)... this time I'm determined to make a...

Hey folks... I'm back. To be honest, life has been EXTREMELY busy over the past month or so. Work is keeping me traveling non-stop (which is both a good and bad thing), and my wife and I have been up to our ears in preparations for our baby to arrive in June... I'll be honest, I haven't been...

Good luck, Andy... I hear ya, I've been reading the forums for a few weeks now, waiting for my motivation to sink in. I think this will finally be the week I turn things up. Hope everyone has a great week!

just a bit of an update... it's been a week or so since I've checked in, and not much weight loss to announce. I do very well during the work week, yet I find excuses to indulge when I'm home on the weekends. At least I haven't put the weight back on, I have just hit a plateau. I guess this...

woops, I didn't notice the year was wrong! Yes, you are correct. We received a foot of snow so far overnight, and the forecast is predicting another foot of snow to fall before it is all over... this has been a TERRIBLE winter!

Tuesdays are BY FAR the worst weekdays. I can't find the motivation to even get ready for work... PLUS, we have a big snow storm heading our way tonight, so it looks like I'll be shoveling AGAIN... at least I get a good workout in with that. Hope everyone is staying strong!

Last time I went on a diet, I opted for vodka and Coke Zero (do they sell Coke zero outside the US?) happy weekend, folks!

Andy, Even though the program is designed to progress you onto a different level each week, as long as you go at your own pace your body will get comfortable with the workouts. I noticed around week 3 or so, that I wasn't fully prepared to move on to the week 4 workout, so I just went an...

This will be my second attempt at completing C25K. I started it about 6 months ago and got through 5 weeks of it before I hit the "wall". However at that time, I wasn't focusing as much on eating healthy. Now that I am focused on diet AND exercise, I hope to see some big results. The free...

@Leapfrog... I am also starting the C25K Program. I have tried it once before, and I was rather successful at it. I have never been much of a runner, and when I tried it last time I wasn't focusing on eating healthy so I hit a "wall" around week 6... however I definitely felt a lot healthier...

thanks for the suggestions. I'm not against mixing up a vodka drink... I usually drink Bud Light anyway, but I'm thinking it's not a smart move to have too many beers while I try to lose weight. I guess it's all about moderation.

Thanks, folks... I feel like I'm getting close to getting past the intense craving stage. Last night wasn't nearly as bad as the day before. I had an early dinner (spinach salad), and when I felt the cravings start to creep back later in the night, I decided to make myself some tea. I have...

thanks for all your responses, everyone. I am already finding this site to be very helpful... Four days into my diet and the water-weight is just falling off me, but I know it's only a matter of time before that stops. I have no problem eating healthy meals in the morning (I usually opt for...

Good luck, Bella... you're not alone, today's my first day back on the wagon... it's not as bad as I thought it would be (yet), but it's my time OUT of work which is the real struggle. Best of luck!

Happy 2011, everyone. I am very excited to have found an active support community as I start my journey towards a healthier lifestyle. However after I joined, I noticed that I was one of the few Americans among you! (Don't hold that against me...) Personally, I have no problem with being the...

My wife and I have been watching Biggest Loser for years... it's definitely a good motivator to get off the couch.

Keep it up, Debbie... stay strong, you can do it! -Dennis

starting off today... looking to lose 50 pounds by June... I'll keep you all posted!

I have been overweight for much of my life, and I have always been able to drop a decent amount of weight when I needed to. However I always end up putting the weight right back on. This year is much different... my wife and I are preparing to welcome our first child into the family at the end...
