I can drink A LOT of beer as well. I still have to pour it off into a glass though.

This made me LOL On a side note I am 4 years post and drink Coke Zero now and then. I still have to pour it over ice to kill off some of the carbonation.

I've posted this is a long past compression shirt topic. Here is what I said in that post. I personally like the "Under Armour Men's Tactical HeatGear® Compression Short Sleeve T-Shirt". The reason I like this version of their shirt is they do NOT have the big UA logo near the neckline. This way i can wear them with polos or white dress shirts and not have to worry about the logo showing through. Here is the link on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DU56FM Also I have found Starter brand ones at Walmart. However I will say they run a little bigger than the UA ones. If I am wearing a Large in the UA I will get the same feel in a Medium in a Starter brand. The Starter ones are pretty inexpensive as well.

For sure. He and now my second boy are one of the major motivations for going through this journey. As a father I need to be here for them. Plus how could I teach them proper food/fitness choices in my previous state.

Here are a couple more before/after. Before - 380lb Current - 228lb

Like most I still have a hard time telling how much progress has been made when I look into the mirror. Then I am reminding when I see myself in pictures. Here I am a year ago at my heaviest and next to a picture taken yesterday. pumpkin patch." />

I would also like to say devices like the FitBit of any other trackers aren't the most accurate thing when it comes to measuring activity and the calories burned. At most they are making a guesstimate of what you are doing. Lifting my Water bottle to my mouth counts as a step. Also the wearables with heart rate monitors are less accurate that a good old chest strap monitor. There are many Youtube videos showing the difference. They can be off by as much as 10 to 20 BPM. All that being said they are still great motivation devices. I just take the numbers from these device with a grain of salt. The same way I don't fully trust the numbers the gym cardio equipment is telling me.
