Years of videogaming & chomping on good ol' hearty American junk food has brought me here... mmm... burgers....

1st Goal: 145lb
2nd Goal: 135lb
3rd Goal: 125lb (ultimate goal)

165lb --> Starting Weight (Feb. 7th, 2010)
160lb --> Achieved on Feb. 18th

140lb --> Achieved on Dec. 18th - right on time for the wedding! Yay!

125lb --> Will be achieved when pigs fly ;-)

2012 Update:

Wow, 2011 has not been kind to my waistline. I got married on Dec. 18th, 2010, and then as the cliche goes, I "let myself go". When the first 20lb went on, I realised I had to do something and got back on track and down to 155lb for the honeymoon. It was after the honeymoon that I completely discarded any healthy habits. I had a "summer of indulgence" and swore to myself I'd get back on track in September. However, my body had other plans. I injured my shoulder and ended up in physical therapy until December. I physically couldn't work out... at first. After that, my shoulder was an excuse to laze around and not exercise.

My new year's resolution was to get back on track again and was pretty shocked and saddened when I logged back into FS to see I had gained 35lb in 6 months. After all the hard work, I had let it all go...

Now, I have a renewed vigor (albeit with an underlying dread that I may do the same thing again after I reach my goal).

Here's to a new start & a new year!

2012 Milestones:

Or store your snacks in another room that they're not likely to go to, like your bedroom... or better still; the laundry room? Wink

Frozen shoulder!!
Have you been to a doctor? I had that last year, went to the doctor; he gave me an injection but it didn't help and I ended up doing physical therapy for 2 months... but that's only because I left it so long before going to the doctor. If I had gone earlier, he would have had me doing some basic shoulder exercises (e.g. stand in the middle of a doorway and place your arm against the door frame then slowly 'walk' your arm up the perimeter of the door frame, reaching as high you can go and then 'walk' it back down again). Definitely go to a doctor; he'll recommend a physical therapist, if needed, and give you something to cope with the pain. Good luck!!

What's an easy way to get more *protein* into my diet?
Lovely, thanks Nimm for the clarification! Is there any way (in general) to tell from nutrition labels how many "active" carbs they have? Oh wait, is this what people refer to as "net carbs"? Thanks!

What's an easy way to get more *protein* into my diet?
@Nimm, I just followed the link you posted to the Quest Bar and those bars have about 25g of carbs with an illustration that claims they have 2g of "active carbs". What on earth are 'active carbs'? And if only 2g are real carbs, then what the heck are the remaining 23g? Apologies for my ignorance in the science of carbohydrates Smile
