Sorry couldn't resist. You know i love you.
That was what I was trying to imply, as much as I tried to stay hydrated I felt awful for a couple hours afterwards. I need to remember to pre-hydrate before hiking. Also a real breakfast would of helped.
So my fast food consumption has plummeted over the last few months. The other day, I got dumb for a minute and let the boys talk me into going to Krystal. I got dumber by actually eating two of them myself. Within minutes, I basically felt like I wanted to die. I very seriously considered going over to a booth and laying down while I waited for the end. After I got past the worst of it, I thought "So this is what it must be like to be a yankee. Being a yankee is bullshit." Needless to say, I may never eat another Krystal again.

As a true Southerner, I was raised on Krystal burgers. However, if I eat one now, my stomach revolts and I'm sick for a full day.
You'll actually feel sick from almost all fast food now that your body has adjusted to non-fast-food. I dramatically cut back on fast food a few years ago, and anytime I eat it now (usually out of necessity), I resign myself to feeling sick for several hours afterwards.
custeph, good thing we didn't get those hamburger tattoos
oh god, Krystal is so, so bad. I ate it all the time when drunk in college. I completely cut out fast food a few years ago though, and I can't stomach any of it anymore.

In Minnesota, we are a skosh more high-brow with our food tattoos:
The Conzosio del Prosciutto di Parma held their annual event in MN this weekend; at the event one had the option of volunteering to get a FREE tattoo of the group's logo, in return for a free leg of prosciutto ($200-250 worth). The author of this article got a tiny one on her ankle - some lady got a huge one on her rear. Literally 'Pork-butt'.
I think it's poetic that people are getting tattoos of pork products when pig skin is usually used to practice-ink due to its similarity to human skin.

So every day I play basketball/football, and 3-4 times a week I try to do a body weight exercise routine. That said I still felt pretty out of shape considering all the beer and fried food I have here.
Went for my first "real" run in almost 3 months yesterday and covered 5 miles in a time that was comparable to what I was doing back home when I was running 60 miles a week. That was a really excellent feeling and got me motivated to get serious about working out again.
Starting this weekend, I'm going to get back in to a workout routine again. I got really frustrated and depressed after 6 months last time, because I wasn't losing weight the way I wanted to (12 pounds in 6 months, what??!). This time, I'm not going to set an goals (may be a bad idea?) but instead concentrate on overall fitness.

After I lost a certain amount of weight, "how much do you plan to lose?" and "what's your goal weight?" became questions I got asked pretty regularly. I have preferred not to think about it in that way though, so I haven't came up with a solid answer for either. Instead, I am choosing to stick with the plan and seeing where the results take me (for now at least). Recently, I got frustrated when the losing slowed down (which I knew was going to happen because it happens to everyone) and started to get off my game both diet and activity wise. I feel worrying about the numbers all the time is a road to ruin because most of us are wired to where the number will never quite be the number we want it to be.

In my opinion losing weight or getting healthy shouldn't be a about reaching goal, or an end game. It should just be part of living a healthy lifestyle. Eating well and exercising are good whether you are trying to lose a couple pounds or hundreds of pounds. The numbers don't really matter, it's about feeling good and being happy with yourself in all aspects both physical and mental.
That said I know goals can help. It's just easy to fall into the trap of "oh I didn't reach my goal I'm giving up" or "oh I reached my goal now I can go back to what I was doing"
Weight can be an excellent metric to get a rough gauge on health; obviously if you are at the optimum weight for your body structure, you are plus one in the health column.
But I believe activity is more important. I have known men and women who smoked, ate for crap and a lot of it, drank, and as a result were ... well, fat. But they worked physically demanding jobs, played league sports far longer than they should of, gardening, camping, volunteering, handy person fix ups at home and for neighbors. They seemed invincible, if jiggly and always chewing on something.
They didn't do it in front of an electronic device, that's for sure. As I swype on one. Anyway, I'm probably less than my optimum weight and don't think I am as healthy as I could or should be. The number on the scale is only a measurement of change - it does not determine success or failure in getting healthy. Anything you do is better than nothing.

I think it's so weird that people feel like it's suddenly okay to ask how much you weigh (or plan to weigh), just because you've lost some weight. At first, I was really pleased when people at work commented on my weight loss. But then one day, someone asked what I was at now, and I was kind of blown away that she would even ask that.
I don't have any specific goal. I have a range in mind that I'd like to see myself at, but I'm not particularly concerned about getting there anymore. The best day was when I looked at myself and realized that, although I'm still some 30-45 pounds over where I'd ultimately like to be, as long as I maintain the good habits I've developed and don't gain weight, I'm perfectly comfortable at the weight I'm at now.
On a related note, I've learned a fair amount about self-perception and perspective this time around. About ten years ago, I lost something like 35 pounds. At the time, I felt like my starting weight was gross and that I had looked terrible. So far this year, I've lost almost 40 pounds, and I'm feeling pretty great about that. But the funny thing is, the weight I am at now and feel comfortable with is more than my starting weight was ten years ago. So basically, what seemed really fat to me when it was the most I had ever weighed feels and looks (to me, anyway) significantly better now that it is it is 40 pounds less than the most I've ever weighed.
So my fast food consumption has plummeted over the last few months. The other day, I got dumb for a minute and let the boys talk me into going to Krystal.

Being a yankee is bullshit." Needless to say, I may never eat another Krystal again.
I have to admit, I am confused! At first I thought you thought Krystal was a northern chain! Are you trying to say that northerners perpetually feel like they are going to die? Man, it must really suck to be us!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Yankees are not prepared for Krystal. It takes years of training in your childhood to face them.

Ahhhhhh gotcha. From what I have heard Krystal is comparable to Whitecastle (although I've never been to one of those either- none in CT)

I bought a Ninja Mega kitchen system the other day and I am in love! Salsa, chimichurri, smoothies without added sodium and preservatives...if I could marry an appliance this would be it lol!
And I'm back on the wagon! But a different wagon: weight training. I dropped off the gym/weight-loss wagon several months ago, after the death of my grandparents in April. Then my boyfriend got sick in June, I was PILED on at work (still am) and multiple other life issues that I let get in the way. I was eating whatever I wanted and not working out in any capacity. But I went back to the gym yesterday! And my boyfriend joined so he can help me out. I'm incredibly sore today, which is good.
I spent some time last week doing research on why I lost so little weight in the 6 months I was at it. After reading, I figured out that it was likely due to the large amounts of cardio I was doing... and the fact that I stuck to the same routine for 6 months. I was basically endurance training (which, it seems, I got good at). But that wasn't what I wanted to do. My body got used to the activities, and it adjusted accordingly. Yes, I'm sure I built up a bit of muscle during that time, but I wasn't working ALL of my muscles, esp in my core. I read up on weight training last week and decided I would give it a shot.
So yesterday, I started a weight training routine for beginners using mostly free weights. There's a little bit of cardio involved (warming up, and then after I'm finished with weights to cool down) but it's minimal. I've honestly been a bit scared of the free weights, for reasons that are really unknown to me. But everything I've read makes it seem like this is my best shot at losing weight and toning up. I'm on a six week program, which includes a high-protein diet (and 2,000 calories! WOOT).
If I start sounding like a commercial, someone smack me. But I'm anxious to see how this will turn out.
So I raced my second sprint triathlon yesterday and took 1st among females 20-24 (out of 5). My first one was at the end of May and I took 2nd out of 3 in my group. This is getting fun and I can't wait to get into bigger and longer races.
Anyone else tri'ing on here?
I can jog about 3 miles. I can swim the full length of a pool. And I can bike about 30 miles. So I guess that would be a no.
But I think it is awesome that you took first and love it so much.
Are any of you using a Fitbit Flex or Fitbit One (etc)? If so, let me know and I will friend you on their app.
I got a FitBit One a few days ago and it's great... especially for keeping track of your sleep, steps, inclined steps (stairs, etc), and so forth.
I just ordered a Fitbit Flex because our state is doing a challenge for state employees for September and October to walk at least 150,000 steps each of those months. They were offering them for half price, so it seemed like a pretty good deal. I'll post back when I get set up on the app.
So, lately I've been losing a lot of weight. I haven't really been trying or anything, it's just kinda happened. But I've lost around 40 lbs since about February. I know that's a big number and that I should be able to tell, but I can't really. Lots of people have made comments about it, which makes me feel great, but I don't really see it. I was looking through old pictures tho and holy cow. Now I can tell. The one on the left is last September around my birthday, the one the right is from Friday night. (Sorry if this image is huge, I'm on mobile) No wonder my favorite of jeans were feeling too big!

I've lived in the South for most of my life. Unless I hated someone,I would never recommend Krystals. I've eaten there once. Which I found out was one too many times. If a friend went crazy and wanted to eat there,I would give them a bottle of laxatives. It's basically Hardees + bad whiskey shits + Paris Hilton

From my experience, it's never as evident to you because you see yourself in the mirror all the time, so the change happens without it seeming as drastic. I have noticed tons of small changes, but I don't get the full impact because my perception has adjusted a lot. I already have almost blacked out exactly what I looked like before until, like you said, I see an old picture or something like that. Even though you say you haven't done anything, congrats on the loss. 40 lbs is a serious change.

Also, for those of you not on my facebook, I went on that hike I was talking about in here a little bit ago. 1,000 feet in elevation change over two miles. I had to climb some rock to get to the top which was scary as fuck. It was totally worth it though.

Thank you (to everyone)!! I definitely can't tell because , like you said, I see myself everyday. But I have noticed clothes fitting better and my jeans require a belt now. It's amazing what a little exercise (even if it's just hula hooping) and stress will do to you. I still eat like shit, so I'm going to change that and see if I can keep up the weight loss. I've just tried so many diets and stuff in the past that never worked and now that I'm actually losing weight without really trying I'm afraid to start actually trying just to be disappointed. But really, what bad things could happen if I stop eating Wendy's twice (or more :\ ) a week. Being poor should help me eat better too....
Edit: I should mention that I'm actively doing something now because I've weighed myself a few times recently and I've started to plateau. I've been fluctuating in the same 5 lbs range for the past 3 weeks or so and I don't like it. I have a drs appt next month and she wanted to see me down 15 lbs from my last appt. I'm like 8-10lbs away from that.
