such a tease :rotfl:

Keep eating them muffins and your gonna need a counterweight system on the boat so it doesn't tip on it's side !:rotf2:

I'm thinking about going and grabbing some breakfast .Eggs always keep it moving for me.

well i started out in Dec. so a little over 3 months. for the first 2 i really didn't see much of a difference and was starting to get frustrated then i switched up my workout routine and i started losing poundage fast. basically light weight, high reps, cardio after every workout(-300calories) and i just added an abb routine. i also started eating smaller portions of clean calories.

Surfhound from the other site was very helpful with my routine.

sounds like you're doing pretty well yourself NIB. keep it up. you;ll look in the mirror one and day and say Holy %$%$%$%$!! where did I go? great feeling...

i hope that the guys that have quit are going to send plugs to TDF....http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/o050.gif

Bart what happened, I don't remember you being that big? your tall but I never figured

I am down to 183 from 198 slow and sure, I have been sick for the last two week I am going to get back to the gym Monday

lots of dark beers, jack and cokes, and other recreational activities that led to late night raids on the dollar menu at McDonald's. fortunately i've cut out all those bad habits from my diet :)

i almost forgot, good job Bob :kewl:

Thats great I like to mix my workouts up.One day heavy short reops and negative's an one day light with more reps.I think the muscles like the mix up from time to time.I'm still a old skool guy at the gym.I always enjoyed getting stronger and seeing the results on the bar.Amazingly I can still move a pretty good amount of weight.I always did push ups so maybe thats why.The weight does not come off as fast as u build muscle mass but there's more to it than that..
I'm down 3 belt loops that tells me I'm just transfering weight to other area's that will help me to loose more as I go along.I go thru the gym pretty fast.My routine only takes 45 mins then I top it off on the treadmill and I ride the bike on off days.
March 22 my girlfriend and I are quiting smoking..
Sounds like a mid life thing don't it.I'm just trying to make 47 my midlife..

thats awesome NIB. changing up definitely works. shocks your muscles pretty good. next week i'll be changing my routine back to strength training. i'll do a push/pull system, all pyramid sets. you probably already know this but for those that don't, pyramid sets are basically when you start out at 10 reps, then go down to 8 reps but add weight and so on until you get to 4 reps. then you go back to 10 reps and start with the original weight. really gets you ripped. one day ill do chest and triceps, the next day biceps, abs, and legs. then i'll rest one day. but ill still keep up with the cardio.

good luck quitting smoking man, i know how tough that can be. hope to see you up this way some time this season...

i think we need to update the % lost

Latest Updates are in place in Red.....Looks like the pace is slowing down time to re-focus, myself included. 2 months left....time to "git 'er done"

also, still waiting for entry fees.....some fresh pluggage might up the motivational limit.

good job Matt!

i'm down 40 lbs since Dec. starting to wonder if i have a tape worm. this past month the weight has really been coming off...

257... it's getting harder.
Today I took my first Chantix pill.A new fangled drug tha is supposed to block the nicotene receptors in my brain.
They should have something like that for the submit reply button...
Next Saturday is my girls brithday thats when we both quit..

so did everyone weigh in?
I can't wait to see if we get a genuine NIB plug thrown into the pot. That will help me work extra hard for sure.
I know JohnR has some goodies in his stash too...

I'll try and update tonight

:rotf2:Let me be the first to say......"Damn I'm starting to look good ! " :uhuh::humpty::uhuh:

I've lost 10 maybe 12 lbs. .. eating light and doing (sweat like a pig) cardio at least 5 times a week for 30 min. ,,plus yoga twice a week .. I feel really good .. balance is 100 % better.. just thought I would have lost more weight ..

quit a 3 pack a day habit 19 yrs. ago . I'd be dead now .. best thing I ever did ,, hardest too.. Do it Matt ,, don't be a slave to the Tobacco industry ..

thanks....doing great with it...funny that is what Ive been saying..."I'm tired of being a slave to it".....it's the time for me to quit
sounds like your doing good too...:uhuh:

Cigs are tuff to kick .I did about 3 yrs back.Smoked for more than half my life.Less bronchitis/sinus infections .I quit because I was wasting too much $$ on the damn things.I couldn't see paying the high price for them.If you add up the price of 2 packs a day for a year you easily got a new VS,waders,plugs and gas money with some left over for food on the way !

2 x 6 dollars a pack = 12 x 30 days per month = 360 x 12 months a year = 4320 dollars a year..I do at least 2 packs a day, more when I fish.I started taking the drug Chantrix last sat this sat. is my quitting date.So far with my will power I am almost down to a pack a day.
Saturday is gonna be something....
:hidin:

:btu: good luck...you can do it ...tell yourself that you can...focus on the positive...and just don't smoke, no matter what
