Hi Folks, I've been wanting to relaunch this site for quite a while. We've been online 4.5 years and I've done little to drum up activity in the last 3 or so. BGLW has been one of those things that winds up taking a backseat to other work that is on piled on my plate. As a start I pruned...

I figured I'd start a thread for us all do a weekly check in to keep each other updated on how our diet/lifestyle changes are going. I'll start in the next post. I'm going to start a format of: Exercise Diet Conclusions Goals You don't have to follow it. It's just an easy way for me to...

Hey Guys, I upgraded our humble abode here to XenForo 1.5.0 Beta 1. It's the latest and greatest in forum software but it's Beta software which means there might be some bugs. Let me know if you notice anything out of whack. :) Cheers, Dan

This article came across my newsfeed the other day: http://gizmodo.com/you-can-freeze-your-fat-and-poop-it-out-1704294724 Fat freezes before skin and other tissue so basically your fat is put between two plates cold enough to freeze the fat but not cause frost bite. It's more interesting than...

I use the MapMyWalk app to track how far I walk with my phone. It uses the phone's GPS. It's generally pretty cool. Today I changed up my route a little bit and knew I did over 3 miles but I forgot to hit the "Start Workout" button so it didn't track anything! :mad: I logged my walk in the app...

I love my salads. I shy away from store bought dressings as most are loaded with sodium and/or calories. Once in a while I'll cheat and treat myself to Cesar dressing. If I'm in a big rush I'll use a store brand vinaigrette that isn't too bad calorie or sodium wise but this dressing is pretty...

Has anyone here successfully quit smoking? How did you do it? I quit once for 4 months but went back to it like an idiot. I've set several quit dates then someone aggravates me and I find myself puffing down a cigarette like it's the last thing on earth. Generally, I'm a pack and a half to 3...

One of the many side effects of being obese is all the health complications that come with it. I feel I've been very lucky so far. The only negative effects I've had (so far) have been joint/back issues, a leg ulcer, DVT, and high blood pressure. That luck doesn't last forever which is why I'm...

So what does everyone do for fun? I enjoy listening to music a whole lot. Whether it's blasting my home stereo after the post office closes, taking a nice cruise with the tunes blaring, or standing on my porch at night enjoying an iced coffee or Jack with honey with my headphones on. I'll take...

One of the things I've learned over and over again is to stay vigilant. Have I mentioned that I'm thick headed? :D By staying vigilant I mean always keep your eye on the prize. The prize is loosing weight so you live a longer healthier life. The minute you stop paying attention everything goes...

A common stereotype I hear, read, and see on a regular basis is that you're fat because you're lazy. I wholeheartedly disagree with this stereotype. I mean sure there are some lazy fat people but I think for most heavy people it's more of a lack of discipline than anything. I used to lack the...
