I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

Quoting: spyke (it would be a toss-up between the ring I got between my pinkie and ring finger, or my nipples).
and i was thinking of getting my nipples pierced this month.... we'll put that a little farther down the list of things to do.

http://anotherfatguy.wordpress.com/ I'm looking at a total weight loss of over 130 lbs (60 kg for those of you in Europe like me...), from 150 kg to 90 kg (330 lbs to 198 lbs). I'm a 36 year old man and am REALLY tired of... well being tired.
So far I've been training like a mofo, and have totally revisited my diet - so far so good, 1/3 of my goal HAS been met - YIPPEE!!
Have met some great people here, and looking forward to meeting even more here on traineo - don't be afraid to bombard me with motivation - I'll take all you can give me :)

the nipples are a different experience for everyone - MOST people say it's a piece of cake - MY nipples just decided to be shy that day and gave a bunch of problems

I'm told that everybody has one good nipple that goes through like a knife through butter and one that is excruciating?? Trouble is you don't know which is which until it is too late. I guess I must have been lucky.

Oh word!! The thought of anything going through my nipple makes me cringe. *grimace face* (Didn't see any suitable smilies. Heehee)

Again, my first experience here was another example of my mispent youth. My mate did it initially at a house party with a safety pin and there was a lot of blood and I think he enjoyed butchering me. The effects of beer on young kids I guess. I had no intention of getting piercings or any view on them, however girls seemed to like the accessory so I never looked back. I did take it out and get it redone properly and I was told that re-piercing through scar tissue was really painful but again it was ok.
Think I'm very fortunate as I've been told by a few docs I have a high pain threshold. Either that or I'm extremely thick! (No sense no feeling).

I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid.
I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy.
Got a blog rolling- rokandroll.blogspot.com
I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.

I've never actually seen one; my imagination is running wild. The question that comes to my mind is why on earth did you let a stranger play with your junk???
