Lately, I've been really enjoying this playlist:

I made some amazing steaks and corn last night on the grill, and @hirondellemade a delicious humus and carrot and peanut salad. I'm thinking about starting another podcast, this one about grilling and motorcycling. I have to work out a few things, but I am thinking about it.

Thank you @Lightningfall. Yes, I don't rely too much on the scale, though I do have a target weight I want to hit. I do know that muscle weight more than fat, but I have a lot of fat to lose. Thank you for the advice and luck wishes.

I didn't think you would have a problem with it.

I'm with @hirondelle on this one. I would love to see a pic also @fox. Please....

Thinking about what I'm going to be grilling tomorrow!!

@Lightningfall, have you heard Shinedown's version of this song?

So, I've decided to do a thing. Since I've decided to start losing weight, I've decided to blog about it. This is a two fold thing. 1. To track my weight loss. 2. Get me blogging again. Below is the link for the first blog post. If any of you would like to blog with me, let me know and I will set up a group blog for it. If not, no big deal.

So, I've been talking about how I need to lose weight. And I even talked about how I need to lose weight in the My fat ass thread here at NL. I figured this would be a good way to keep track of my weight loss. So, one of the things I decided I was going to do a few things. Drink less beer. When there is a game, football or hockey, on TV, I drink two to three beers. I decided, that no matter what is going on, I'm going to only drink one beer a day at the most. Drink less pop. I don't generally drink a lot of pop any more. I used to drink a lot of it, but I'm going to keep it down. One of the things I'm going to do is, on the days, game days, instead of drinking two or three beers, I will drink one pop. I'm also going to start doing yoga again. A minimum of three Sun Salutation As a day. On thing I plan on doing is keeping a weekly log of how things are going. If I miss a week, please feel free to give me a nudge to get back on track. So, as of this morning, I weight 237 lbs (108kg), which is about 20 lbs (9kg) less than I thought I was. I thought I was up near 260 lbs (118kg), so that's good. That doesn't mean I'm not going to work as hard. It just means I have less to lose than I thought. The start of my weight loss was yesterday. There was a hockey game, and I only had one beer, and I had 1 coke. When @hirondelle and I went to bed last night, we both did 3 Sun Salutation As. It actually felt pretty good to do them. I've gotten pretty shit at doing them, but it felt good at doing them. There are a few reasons that I've decided to lose weight. First and foremost, I just want to feel healthier. I'm out of shape, and I know that once I start losing weight, the right way, I will start getting back into shape at the same time. Another reason for me to lose weight, is it will help improve my hockey game again. I feel I have gotten slower since my knee surgery and all the lock downs and gaining weight. It really sucks, because I was starting to get decent. The final reason for me wanting to lose weight is because my knee has started to feel sore, and losing weight will take some of the stress off of my knee. So getting in shape, taking stress off of my knee, I think this will set me back on the correct path of getting my skill level back up for hockey.... I hope. Well, that's all for my first post. See you next week some time. Always Remember: If you set your mind to it, you can do it.

Water! When at school, I drink coffee in the morning and water all day long. I've had my coffee, so now it's water time.

Hey all. If you remember, back in the day, we used to have group icons. Well, I decided to bring them back, in a more controlled manner. There are group icons for the main groups: Administrator, Moderator and Members. If you look below your Profile Picture and your Group, you will see the icon.

Happy belated birthday bud!

Yes, those three factors are key. For me, what usually works best is consistent exercise. That's my hardest part. And cutting down on how much beer I drink.

Welcome to the NL Community blog that is focused on helping our member with losing weight and their struggles with with weight. All are welcome to make blog posts and comments, all that we ask is that people are respectful to each other. In this blog, we can talk about what exercises we are doing, our eating habits, our triggers, or anything that surrounds our weight loss. The most important thing is that we support and encourage each other in this journey. Thank you, @Timberwolf

So, it looks like BBCode is dying. Most people prefer WYSIWYG, which is what we are using now.

I'll look to see if there is a way to add bbcode back for everybody.
