I always end up focusing on training and eating lots of sandwiches.

It's because all of that stuff takes time - a lot of it. Food shopping and preparation are a pain plus fitting in a 60-90 minute workout. It's very time consuming to do all of that. Sometimes I wish I just didn't care about my health or the way I looked like 90% of people. I could be eating something disgusting right now!

hahahaha. duuuude, you don't even in' know. mine straight up disappeared after I got out of the shower this morning. I went into full on panic mode because I was convinced it slipped into the drain.

Found it 30 minutes later in the laundry hamper, but not before I started considering cutting into my ceiling in order to get access to the drain trap.

Totally getting it resized.

I threw my ring away by accident. Put some lotion on, ten minutes later washed my hands at work and realized my ring disappeared. I had to dig through a garbage to find it (thankfully I found a janitor with some gloves before the digging began).

I would have freaked out if I lost it in the shower. My wife got me in the habit of taking my ring off before I get in, so thank god I haven't had to deal with that yet.

Losing weight sucks sometimes.

I lost mine at the gym almost 2 years ago. I'm pissed but my wife never wears hers so it's not like she cares if I wear mine.

Gained about 3 pounds back this week. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Trying to eat less/healthier and have been running/exercising more.

I have noticed I've been able to run a bit longer which is good, but still very frustrating.

More than the looks think about it health wise , and the bills you would have to pay from insurance/doctors on the long run . I was never over weight or anything, but once I got into college I started working out like never before (Workout 6x week). I think I'm in pretty good shape, and thankfully I love veggies and healthy food so its not hard to find healthy stuff to eat around my place at all times.

Just keep going and don't give up. That ring falling from your finger is already a good sign . And yeah my backlog keeps on growing from all the saved money + CAG. Now I find it hard to bite on a game that is not 20 or less

Any weightlifting?

LOL@ the ring discussion...I'm on my 3rd Wedding band. My original one doesn't fit anymore since the first time I dropped 80 lbs, so that's in my wife jewelry box. My second one is somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New Jersey. That one slipped off playing with my kids when I dropped 70 lbs. This one I'm keeping...I got it sized before I dropped the last 65 lbs.

Reading that I feel like a human yo-yo. I don't think I can do it again, so this time I'm sticking to it.

kinda bored here...do any of you guys wanna do a weight loss challenge group fantasy football league?

Hey that could be fun. Count me in. All we need is 8 more guys. Yahoo or what site do you usually use?

we could do nfl.com or yahoo, I'm familiar with either one.

While I love football and it sounds like it would be fun, I don't have time between now and the start of the season for a draft, unfortunately. Have fun!

Pulled 270 x5 on deadlifts today. 315 will be here before I know it.

holy god almond butter

Weighed in, I'm at 171.4 now.

10 hours of busting up a foot thick concrete porch with a sledge and jackhammer today. holy workout batman. i'll be weighing in to see my fake weightloss today lol.

Damn - 170 is the dream but I'm still a long ways off (~15lbs give or take). I think my no weights tons of cardio is working though. Weigh-in is Friday so we will see...

Ran 11 miles today in 1 hour 44 minutes. Maintained 8:30 pace for the first 6 miles but then started getting into some steep hills and it killed my speed. Definitely put my 3 liter camelback to use today, but it made my traps pretty sore for a for a while.

I don't get how distance/marathon runners do it. I can only run at a sub 7 minute mile pace for 3 or 4 miles and then I'm done. I had to dial it way back for the 11 miles today. I think I'd pass out if I tried to run a marathon.

Any of you guys live in or around myrtle beach? Looking for a workout partner
