Thanks everyone... things aren't perfect now but they're getting better. I appreciate everyones input and every bit helps. Still haven't been 100% focused but things are becoming less blurry these...

Thanks guys/gal - every bit of reassurence helps, not that I ever thought I'd need any other than from myself.. but these are dark times indeed!

While I hate to talk bad about her ever, I think...

"I miss the old you."

WOW! Sucked hearing that. I met my girlfriend about 2.5 years ago when I was at my heaviest, 265-270. We moved in together and I switched jobs to a much more active job,...

I just try to keep it to a cheat MEAL, not a cheat day, and do it a couple times a week. The trick is to just not go to crazy with it, like a whole pizza and a 2 liter, and a gallon of icecream, for...

I'd rather be cool and burning 500 cals less than sweeting my ass off burning 500 cals more while relaxing any day (unless i was sweating my ass off working out)... and yeah that's not how it works...

So true, and when it's handy I'll down a little Gatorade. It's really not the crap food it's the alchohol

When I first started making my change the weight loss was pretty dramatic at first, then it evened out to about 1-2 lbs a week after about a month (when I actually stuck to my diet/workout =P ). How...

Those bands you guys have mentioned are pretty cool, I don't use them myself but my cousin does and he's been doing really well with them. If you don't have access to a gym, is it because of money or...

Yes yes a thousand times yes!! It's an incredible feeling that helps keep me motivated. I figure that at 170 I'll finally fill out my 6 pack and be finally done cutting, but as it stands right now I...

Where's the Veggies!? Get some fiber in there!
Also check the nutrition forum sticky for Pre and Post work out foods.

Grats man! I know how frustrating it can be to hit a plateau! I hit one at 230, one at 200, and again at 180, it's a great feeling seeing the scale go down from one of them.

Hehe- so true. I used to think I was quite a bit more muscular than I really was. Thought I'd have a 6 pack at 200lbs... didn't happen, then I thought I'd get it at 195...190...185... and now at...

Well, my problem was I actually didn't fear gaining the weight back... I stopped looking at the mirror and the scale- I stopped counting calories and enjoyed myself a little too much. I went from 240...

I'm more or less in the same boat you are man, while I lost a bunch of weight, my girlfriend has gained a bit. I'm trying to get her back on track (not forcing her in the least mind you) and it's not...

I'm generally a very quiet, calm, and all around a nice guy from what I'm told... however for that last rep, I'll get pissed off... Failure is not an option. I'll get so angry at those weights that...

Genetics to play a role in how easy or hard it is to lose weight or gain muscle, that's a given, but don't dare use them as an excuse not to work out... everyone goes to the gym because they are like...

Haven't really heard about diet soda being a detriment to losing weight or keeping it off...

I've lost 65 pounds and still drink, on average, 3- 12 oz bottles of soda on the weekdays at work and...

Pick up a phone book and call around - see what people are currently charging for nutritional advise... then undercut them by a few bucks! ;)

Tom Green style!

It was laundry day and I had no pants to wear... so I busted out my old fat pants and just tried to wear a belt... needless to say I was still swimming in them, so I undid my belt, pants fell to the...
