Ok i do not see a thread started yet, I been looking
That's ok, I'm probably early. So I'll start it off. I guess the first step to facing a problem is admitting there is a problem, which is that evil fork!!
So here goes. After shattering my ankle and destroying all the tendons and ligaments in 2010, then spending 6 months flat on my back I gained 30 lbs, when I was finally off crutches I then limped for another 2 years, so guess what, I gained another 10, and another 10, and another 10, and then yet another 15 lbs
I have battled high blood pressure since I was 14 on and off meds, now I'm living on 4-5 pills a day to keep it moderately so-so due to my diet and weight most of all at this point. This weight MUST come off, aside from the fact I cannot imagine that my wife thinks I'm remotely attractive being a pot bellied porker at least 70 lbs over weight and lets not mention that tying my boot laces now requires holding my breath and killing myself to do so
Its hard to imagine up until 3 years ago I could hop on my treadmill and bust out 5 miles with just a pant, now I pant walking up the driveway, but now my ankle is stronger and Its time to get this off of me.
So in short, I'm in. 2014 BIGGEST LOSER STARTS IN 7 DAYS, WHO ELSE IS IN?

WHEN YOU LIST OR UPDATE YOUR WEIGHT, HIGHLIGHT IT IN REDFat camp has begun! I hope everyone experiences some sort of success with this contest, and you have already by realizing there is a problem
Even if you dont lose weight I hope you at least feel better, eat healthier, and maybe live longer.
TIPS
Now, I STRONGLY suggest using
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ it will give you a healthy calorie goal daily that will HELP. the first day it will seem hard listing every calorie, by day 2 it will be very easy and fast I promise!
I strongly suggest learning to break the calories up into 5 meals a day, smaller meals several times a day is a scientifically proven fact to BOOST your metabolism, if you dont know what that means, well in layman's terms it means your body is doing FREE work for you to lose weight
also remember if you start some hardcore exercising then you need to bump your calorie intake up a little or youll have no energy.
and last, the bulk (65-70%) of your calories should be taken in by mid day not later like evening time when your less active.
you should take a few fat pics to show off later!
weight in in the morning when you wake up, remember it usually takes at least 2 weeks to see each difference so over checking will derail you with not feeling accomplished
take some measurements around your body with a sewing tape because remember muscle weighs more then fat so you may be losing fat and gaining muscle if your working out the tape will tell you the truth not the scale.
given that, remember to direct your workouts at burning fat
Now go make your plans and get your game on, i aim to be a serious contender, id like to finally have a summer where i can take my shirt off
now Im headed to dust off INSANITY and restart it. BRING ON THE PAIN!!
Good luck everyone and happy new years
