Motivation Calling out all POSITIVE PEOPLE for a "FRIDAY CHECK-IN & share positive news group" Apr 27 2008
21:35 (UTC)
Hi I've been a member here for over a year - but have never always let life get in the way of loosing weight

Well no more, decided it is time to get serious

1) Weight 226lbs - net loss 0 as just starting again

2) I am a 40 year old man from the UK.  I lead a fairly sedenatary life.  Partly due to my office based job, partly due to a ruptured disk, bit mainly because I can be bone idle

Well I just bought Wii fitness - and I'm the only one in the house who isn't "ideal" - I'm Obesse

So here we go I want to loose the weight and not be ashamed to be seen in a swimming pool or on the beach

Would love to share stories and encouragement

My current target is 1.5lb per week - for as long as it takes

3) Back here & determined this time.  The Wii is a bit of fun, but it has inspired me.  I have a new convertible car - and I AM going to look good in it this summer!

Many thanks for the views on Ron Paul

I post on another site with a lot of US libertarians, who are very pro RP.

It is intersting to hear other views.  Many of the things mentioned here have not been mentioned on the other site - or have been given a different spin

Thank you for the thought out comments (as opposed to an un explained he is a jerk)

Cheers

Dave

Sooooo... why mention anything? Kinda confusing. Anyway, I freely admit that I haven't been paying enough attention, but I'm feeling a little inspired to care lately. I can say that I am REALLY annoyed by all the Ron Paul crap, he's a jerk.

PS How do I put the above as a quote?

I'm a brit so not really involved. But from what I have seen of Ron Paul he seems to be a man who you can at least trust. He talks a lot of sense about the economy - your fuel wouldn't be so expensive & $ so weak if you were following his policies OK he is a libertarian and I don't agree with all his ideas - but on what basis is he a jerk? I would certainly trust Mr Paul than I trust most of our UK memebers of parliament

I have some floor exercises for my back - but I admit to not being as regular with them as I should be

I've bee thinking about swimming as a low impact exercise to minimise back stress

Question

As a brit we usually measure water in litre rather than ounces

When you refer to ounces on this thread do you mean fluid ounces?

(i.e 20 fl oz = 1 pint)

Sorry if I'm being a bit slow on the uptake here

Hi

I quit 6 weeks ago with support from NHS (in the UK)

3 friends quit together, which has really helped me

Also for the first 5 weeks we had a carbon monoxide breath test each week.  Helped me on 2 levels - firstly I couldn't cheat & secondly there is a measure your success

To help I'm using gum, the amount I use is reducing and some days I don't have any.

Good luck all
