209.0. Not a bad first week. I'll be lucky to lose 5 pounds in a month from this point on.

Well, I sucked balls last year.....but what the hell, need to give losing weight another shot, so count me in.

281 lbs.

Thanks!

We are suppose to post our new weight weekly?

Forgot to come back to post my weight.

Started at 256.

Holy ****, that looks painful!

You bitch.

However often you'd like. We usually do it once a month on the first.

Well, the good news is I lost four pounds last week.

The bad news is it was because I had the flu for the last six days.

Bleh

Same routine with me. I kicked off my diet with pissing out my ass and puking my guts out for the first 2 days. Good way to get things back on track I guess.

Run six miles. If you can run six, you have a half marathon in you. A lot of people can never get to six. That seems to be the magic number.

I had the respiratory-type flu so only puked once and I think it more from the gunk draining in my throat. Mostly had a high fever and didn't feel like eating or drinking anything. I think the weight lost was primarily from being dehydrated so probably won't last as I feel better and rehydrate. :(

That makes me feel good. I got up to 8 before I decided to **** it off. I almost insulted myself there. The first step to becoming a better person is forgiving past mistakes and growing from them. Today, I exercise. Tomorrow, I exercise more. Soon enough, I will be running 8 miles again. Slowly, but I will run them all and not walk one step. Then, I will complete a half marathon. I will try to do it before the end of the year. In the process, I will need to lose 150-200lbs. If you've never been here, God bless you. You just can't understand it. The body's desire to wear food instead of process it...

how many minutes per mile should I average with 6 miles? Is 10 good?

And just think, once you reach your goal, you can change your name to Mr. Hardnuts!

Who cares? You can always build speed. Personally, I focused on the endurance first. Now, I'm much, much heavier than you, and was also at the time. I weighed 270 when I was running 8 miles. My first 5k I ran a 12:30 minute mile. By the time I was running 8 miles I cut it down to about 11 minutes. And that was at 270. Focus on the endurance, and challenge the **** out of yourself and the speed will come.

I don't normally advocate taking fitness advice from a 400lbs man, but I have some experience in this.
