So, how much weight did you gain over the winter??
I'm pissed at myself, must have put on 20 or so and I'm feeling it.
Time to diet....:af:

about the same, gotta start working on that now :musc:

When I looked at the title I thought you were going to tell me to clean my PM's...:hihi:

I actually did good this winter and lost 30 lbs. I've targeted 20 more by the time July gets here....hopefully

What diet are you doing? Don't say the "No Beer diet".
I did weight watchers a few years ago and lost 40#'s, may have to do that again.

I just made sure I had a Bowl of Cereal for breakfast each morning and I stopped doing take-out at lunch everyday....Just been bringing a can of soup to work for lunch.

That was about it.

Not that i was ever fat but i wanted to burn that stubborn fat around the mid section and did well. Eating better and hitting the gym is the key. I went from 180 to around 168 right now. Power bar harvest bars kick ass! tasty and good for you. Little fast food and less fatty snacks was the key. Gotta look good in my swimming trunks ya know :hee: :musc:

I think I was born at 168..LOL
I think I'm pushing 240 right now, should be under 200

I think I'm pushing 240 right now,

Hell, That's what I'm down to right now....looking to get to 220

Lost about 15 lbs. Gained probably 5 back so far. I weigh around 195. Went to the Dr. for a physical and she said according to the new BMI I should weigh 165-8. I haven't been 165 since freshman year in highschool.

I weighed in at a whopping 238lbs about a month ago. I have cut out the soda, been drinking mostly water, trying to get away from eating a large italian sub at lunch was hard, been eating grilled chicken salads more, down to 226 now. Would like to drop another 25 or 30, but who knows :gu: = :musc:

Dropped #10 down to 202 over the winter by working out and cutting out desserts. I don't care what the charts say, i feel best at #200 so that's where i'm goin. :)

When I was in high school I drank weight gain drinks to bulk up. I wish I could eat like I did then.

Yeah the soda is a killer. I'll drink mostly water and gatorade now. Maybe i'll have a soda or a beer on the weekends but thats it. The hard part is maintaning the good eating habits. but when you eat well all week its ok to cheat and have a nice tasty snack once in awhile! Just dont eat the crap everyday and you'll drop weight. Excersise too, not only will lose weight and get in shape but you'll feel so much more energized after a nice workout.

to around 168 right now.
168? :eek: Yea, I had a feelling I could kick your azz :hee: :rotf3: :rtfm: :hihi: :humpty:

-spence

I'm gonna go drink beer now to get over my fat depression...:gu: :gu:

235-240, boy, there are a bunch of us fat bastids on here. I thought I was the only one.:hidin:

No, you're not alone.:bc:
The older I get..The harder it gets..

I prefer to refer to my self as Horizontally Challenged.

Its pretty much the only thing I can claim to own outright...

I think when you reach upper 30's or so your metabolism changes, a gaining is easy and loosing becomes more difficult...I was 175# no matter what I eat, this winter I put on a good 25#, my eating habbits suxed but the last two weeks its been mostly water and salads fruits and veggies. Gonna weigh myself last day of each month till its all gone. eating better sure makes you feel good too.

168? :eek: Yea, I had a feelling I could kick your azz :hee: :rotf3: :rtfm: :hihi: :humpty:

Ahhh but 168lbs of muscle my good friend. Ok maybe not ALL muscle :hihi: Just remember, some of those boxers you see on TV still weight less than me. And they could destroy my white ass! :rotf3:

my friggan feet hurt...

i'm trying to not eat so late so i have more time (awake) to
burn up the calories....before betime! and i was listening to this
hollywood chick and she didnt eat after 4 pm to maintain her
model body and wasnt a twiggy either....an actress...

I gain bout 10lbs every winter, then loose it when the fish show...Im about 230 now.....should be 185....ya like that will ever happen:fishslap:

Lost 56.....

Here is an idea. Since gas is so exspensive, we all leave on friday night, 2 rods, and a backpack full of gear. We hike down rt 3 to the cape, we should make it by late sat afternoon. We skip lunch, fish a couple of hours, and start back so we can be home in time for work on monday. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone, spend less on fuel, and lose 20 pds. :hihi: :p

but one day me and ray were about to cross the road...
and well we had a cocktail and probably shouldnt have...
because we didnt realize how far our rods were extending
into the roadway see

it was fine for automobiles....as we waited

but then this big ole box truck comes zoomin by
and smashes into our sticks and all we had left was handles

we were soooo outraged and mad at ourselves :wall:
for being so stupid.... but then it became the funniest
thing i ever saw as we kept lookin at the handles in our hands
and we were rolling on the side of the road laughin our butts off.:rotf2:

i was almost 180 lbs two weeks ago, but i dropped down to 5 lbs. my trainer thinks that i should fight at 150-65 lbs. yeah, sodas, sweet stuffs, and late dinners are bad for you.

btw, i was reading a men's health issue and it was interesting. it says that the foods that we thought were bad are actually good for you.
the foods are shreded coconuts, microwavable pork rinds, grass fed beef jerky, alcohol (pinot wine and some beer at the moderation), and chocolate.

they are high in proteins and contained othe rnutritional values

bill, im tired of walking to a fishing spot...

coconut has a way of boosting your metabolism by stimulating your
thyroid gland directly.... the thing with beer is that it is the slowest to digest food there is so its not good going to sleep with a belly full
as it takes all night long to digest it....and digestion by itself is a very strenuos thing for your body to be doing while your trying to sleep second only to having sex.:wave:...the body is actually designed to burn fat...but it needs only small amounts to keep the internal fires burning.

when i'm conciously working a very physically demanding task...

and you old timers will relate....

"16 tons and what do ya get (wadda-ya-get) .....another day older and deeper in debt.....saint peter don't ya call me because i can't gooooo.......
i owe my soul to the company store".....

i love that.....

I've been fighting the battle my whole life.Seems my body is just designed to carry a few extra lbs.Big bones,big ass, big thighs the chart was never close for me.only a few times as a athlete was i ever at my suggested weight.winter time is always brutal.seems I gain 5lbs around thanksgiving an another 5 around Christmas.an another 5 thru feb.Every yr.spring comes with the battle.An at 45 its become more like a war the last few yrs.As the weight don't melt off like it used to.I walk, ride a bike, keep the dust off the weights.I have lost 10 lbs and am at 250.Fat F---.I would really like to get to 225.haven't seen that in a few yrs.It's the Italian in me.I can really eat.I would make a killer sauce and then eat a LB of pasta.I look at a piece of cake an gain 5 lbs.My dad had this restaurant when we where young ever since then I have had a love affair with french fries.I just try to eat more chicken an salads an no sweets. Seems I can eat that rabbit food all i want an not gain.
Oh Boy! Sitting on the computer being a mouse potato don't help.I gotta smash this thing.An go fishin :D

Just got rid of the winter fat from 1999, still gotta dig my way out of them other winter's worth :uhuh:

yeah Nib, it was easier a few years ago, I used to be able to drop 20-25 at will, in under a month... it don't work that way, no more. :doh:

I have the metabolism of a rodent, I can and do eat 5-6 times a day and don;t gain much of anything. I am about 165 right now. I lost 30 pounds last year due to three bad back surguries and it was much worse then being over weight. I envy some of you who can put it on fairly easy. Even when I quit smoking 5 years ago, people told me I would get fat. Still have my sixpack.

I heard there was a Jenny craig convention goin on in here?? You guys wanna buy some candy??:laugha:

Go sleep with your 1209 :laugha:

"I am not too fat, I'm still alive aren't I" - Homer Simpson

Seriously though, I really need to drop some pounds this spring and summer.

I dropped 20 pounds sense newyears day, I am kinda at a point were I have to change some thing, because I haven't lost any in 3 weeks. I still have 10 to 15 pounds to go. I just dropped below 180

hey anybody seen BOB? um no, last i heard he turned sideways and nobody's seen him since... heh heh heh
180.....phew... me and f18 just dream about those days....


i've been trying- but only when i get on the grapefruit diet do i see any results....otherwise i straight line....i think i'll try that trim spa stuff
that anna nicole smith used and turned from a fat chick back into lookin like maryln monroe again... :uhuh:

Its weird what Age does to you....When I got out of Bootcamp back in the day I weighed 170....Thats Amazing.

I topped out at 302 as my heaviest....been struggling ever since to keep it off...sitting at 242 right now....need to lose another 20-25

I dropped 20 pounds sense newyears day, I am kinda at a point were I have to change some thing, because I haven't lost any in 3 weeks. I still have 10 to 15 pounds to go. I just dropped below 180
still have 10-15 to go??? what, you got a new dress or something?:laughs:

Junior High I weighed 185# :bl: :wiggle:

Too much of this :cputin: over the winter, damn office jobs..

Thanks guys you made me hungry, now I'm going off to eat.
C-Food diet, I see Food I eat it!

I am just going by what my doctor told me to be the perfect weight, so I am putting a good attemt at it. I changed my diet big time, it think it all has to do with porsions, like a DD muffin is about 2.5, a 20 OZ coke is 2.5 they have us brain washed.

Dieting, don't even smell the donuts! 20 oz coke......big nono! Water
or Cyrstal light. Diet coke doesn't even work with so called 0 cal. The carbonate is very bad. I went to a dietition once, the portions she showed me were my bite size. Hey, I can do lunch in ....3 bites!
This is worse than quitting smoking, in fact that is the reason for my ten year weight gain. Catch 22!!!!!!

dr's say, just stopping soda alone and not changing anything else at all you will drop 15-20# in a year if you usually drink it everyday

Soda is deadly. There's nothing of value in a can of coke. All that sugar turns to fat! I used to drink 3 cans of that crap a day, now its one every week or two. One soda or cookie a week wont kill ya, its having 3 cokes and 6 cookies a day that will! Its amazing how your mindset changes about food once you've been eating good for awhile, i cheated and had a brownie from the vending machine at work last night, i felt sooo guilty after i ate that! A year ago i would have went back for another. Now i wont have one for a week or two. Its keeping those good eating habits thats key. And when you see results your motivated to keep the good eating habits going and to not turn into a fat ass again:grins:

Don't work havn't had soda in about 6 months, no change.

Lost 30 #'s, so far. Plan on losing 20 #'s more.
