    Not much to report lately. I haven't been on the body fat analysis machine at the gym since the last time. I have moved the indicator on my home scale a few more "ticks", but I still can't tell what the actual weight is since I'm beyond the 300# max indicator. I fell off the wagon last week...

    Here's the report from the Gym: 05/23 : 329# 35.4% body fat. 06/03 : 329# 33.7% body fat. So, that's the same weight but about 1.7% less body fat. That makes sense. I have been hitting the weights pretty hard during my workouts so it looks like I am gaining some muscle. I lift for...

    Well, I changed gyms today so I could play some raquetball. I did one of those body fat analysis tests. You know, you stand on the little machine and it tells you your weight and body fat pct. 321 pounds (had clothes on so, 319) 35% body fat! :D Man, is that alot of fat or what?!

    Well, went to the Dr. today and got the clearance to exercise. My pressure was good. I went from 165/102 two 1/2 weeks ago to 132/74 today. The wonders of modern medicine! Who would have thought that a calcium channel blocker would lower your pressure that much.(Tiazac) I walked out of...

    I really don't know how bad it is. I think the worst thing about movie theater popcorn is the oil & salt that it is all popped in. For me, health-wise, the salt is the worst thing. I also don't know what the 'butter flavored topping' is either. I *think* the topping might be ok since it's...

    Well, it looks like I'm down about 3-4 pounds since my doctor's appointment a week and a half ago. I really can't tell since my scale doesn't go over 300#. It does have the little plastic indicators I can set along the side. It looks like I've lost a few pounds just judging by the position of...

    So are you saying the Slim Fast shakes are runny if you only use a spoon to mix them? I use a hand blender because if you use a spoon, you end up with about 25% of the stuff either floating on top or stuck to the bottom of your glass. It has a slightly thicker consistency when you use the...

    I like the chocolate malt Slim-Fast. I mix it up with skim milk. They key is getting something to mix it up with. Just using a spoon doesn't cut it. I use one of these to mix it with: http://www.cuisinart.com/cgi-bin/pro...&detail=CSB-33

    I'm 6'4" and about 333 pounds right now. I went the doctor last week. My blood pressure was 165/101. I was promptly put on blood pressure medication. I'm only 30 years old! I have always been big. When I got out of high school, I was probably 260 or so. When I got out of Marine Corps boot...
