Thank you. And yes, lesson learned.

Thought I would check in with an update. Weighed in today at 208 lbs. Began last November at 365 lbs. I row every day, alternating light and heavy days. I try to really push myself at least three days a week and will do 12 x 500M(for example) in addition to my regular workout. I only eat carbs pre a...

Weighed in today at 250 lbs. I have not weighed under 300 lbs in 5 years. I started almost 6 months ago at 365lbs. It's all due to the rowing. I row every day and love it. I eat about 2,500 calories per day and never after 7PM. I am still obese, but my doctor said I am very fit(health wise) for my w...

Brilliant. Thank you.

Does anyone have any suggestions for sites that sell clothing specifically designed for rowing? I know that Concept2 sells a couple of versions of shorts on their site, but I would like to hear of any suggestions about a company with more options. Thank you.

Hello everyone, Thanks to everyone who has checked in to encourage and to share their own goals. Since I began on 14 November 2014, I have lost 75lbs. I still have a long way to go, but in terms of fitness and overall health, I feel like an entirely different person, quite a feat in a span of only 3...

Good luck, Uffe. I think the Concept2 is the best investment I could have made for my goals. This is a good place to check in. I look forward to hearing about your progress.

Customer service informed me this morning that they are waiting for Apple to approve the update. They are expecting this to happen by 12/10/14. Hopefully, that will fix the problem...

Week 2 and nine more pounds lost, even with some overindulgence on Thanksgiving Day. I do not take a day off and add two or three pieces to the prescribed workout plan every day depending on how much time I have. I love the erg since it brings back good memories of college. The diet is the biggest c...

I am having the same problem. I am going to call customer service tomorrow and see what they have to say. $35 for the adaptor cable was steep enough without this problem.

Just an update: After one week I have lost 11 lbs. I stick faithfully to the interactive workout plan, but I add one or two 20-30 minute pieces each day when I have time. I am eating around 2500 calories per day--no bad carbs, sugar, or eating out. I drink one gallon of water each day and never eat ...

Congratulations on the 70lb weight loss! You are definitely not the only one out there. I am 36 and started out last week at 365. I am sticking to a program for the Concept2 as well as a healthy diet. Nearly ten pounds lost already. It is great to know there are others out there struggling with the ...

Thanks, Marco. That is a great story. I think 18 months is a conservative time-frame. Just feeling more fit will be a huge bonus at this point. Thanks for the support.

After sustaining an injury three years ago coupled with poor diet and virtually no exercise, my weight increased from 185lbs to 365lbs. I am 36 years old and 6 feet tall. I am ashamed to reveal these numbers, but I think making some form of a "public" statement of my goal is an important part of wha...
