I ate all nine pieces.
I have regrets.

As does KFC, I'm sure. >:oP

I've been on a diet (that works!) for about 2 months now, and lost about 20 lbs. 20 more to go, and I'll be content.

In two months?! Wow, that's quite a drop!

Lots of physical activity with strict food restrictions. Takes serious discipline, which I haven't had before. But I'm tired of being a fat, lazy slob who lives in his bedroom. I'm not unhealthy or without energy, however, nor am I hungry all the time. And I fit into some of my older clothes. :lol:

It's all about the foods, which are high in fiber. I just hope once I hit my target weight, I can stay there. I'm allowed to indulge once a week, hence the previous mentions of meatball subs.

Good God, man, I can barely muscle down four of those. It's like they turn into the Incredible Chicken Hulk in your stomach.

Props to you, props to you. And yeah, as long as you don't starve yourself, all's good.

Indeed, congrats on the first 20. I just picked up a new gym membership for similar reasons, getting into the routine isn't easy, but once you get in the rhythm it gets easier. I'm going to try and get in better shape for the local 10K run next April, and try to finish in the same or better times as I was posting 5-6 years back when I last ran it.

I'm slowly getting back into my morning walk routine (combined with hitting the gym at night).

Losing weight is just a bonus, I just want to stay active otherwise the joints start to ache. Doesn't help I work in an office and sit on my arse most of the day.

I have something far less complicated that I gave to a friend who was having back problems.

They're actually not quite bad.

You could always use an exercise ball to sit on. Great for your core and balance.

I love that this turned into an exercise thread! Screw it, I'm going to jump on my treadmill today. Nothing is stopping me.

More exercise means more toasted sammiges.

As much as I do my sit-ups and stuff, my belly refuses to go anywhere. I should pick up running again.

I've rediscovered punching bags. It feels great, and can now approach student papers and discussion board behaviours with a lighter mood.

Because you tape their papers to the punching bag, right?

Went for a walk around the town last night (couldn't find any corners that weren't taken) and we've got some killer hills. Decided to run up one of them, damn near killed myself.

Conveniently it was in the front of the Hospital so I wouldn't have had too far to go to seek medical help.
