Been away for 17 days on a cruise. NEVER go on a cruise when you are on a diet. I gained ELEVEN pounds! I even thought that I was "watching" my eating the last week or so. Bah humbug.

Lots of work to do now! regards, Rich

Good for your outdoorsman! =D>

I have been on track myself for the last few weeks, I just have not posted here. I had gained a few pounds, but I am hovering under the 230 mark. My short term goal is 220, My ending goal is 200.
 
Afraid that I have been a back-slider. Haven't weighed myself in weeks...and...wondering what the results would be if I do. Went to the doc last week. He said I was 6 lbs less than the year before. Not much progress...considering where I was five months ago. bah humbug. Rich
 
I am certainly a backslider. I started between 220 and 225lb and was able to drop 10lb but then couldn't drop anything else. Yeah...sure I would be able to flux up and down a pound, but that all depended on how much I would sweat or go to the bathroom. :shock:

Last week I took a good look at my wife and am so envious of how she's been doing. She's dropped about 40lb and is looking really good so somewhat out of guilt...I'm back on the wagon. I've RE-weighed myself in at 220 and been watching the diet again and even let the treadmill kick my butt for the last 2 nights. Time to put the SEXY back in me. :shock: :LOL2:

Well done Outdoorsman! Way better than my "efforts"., though, I am going to get back onto the track this week! You've encouraged me again.

As far as handling that stress, doing a positive thing like losing weight may be just what the doctor ordered. Focus on something else, something good for you..and set the "stress-causer" issues aside for a bit seems to be good therapy. Hey, I"m no doc.

I did relieve a little bit of stress on our favorite lake Saturday morning. She was hiding under a boat. Dropped a purple worm next to the boat, and out came "Big-Baby"! The ruler she is laying on stops at 17 inches, so she was, maybe, 19 inches long and FAT. I am going to repeat her pix on the fishng reports section.

regards, Rich

This is kind of an old thread but i just want to update this
I was 315 this past Christmases 335 the year before
i was at the Dr this past week and a very happy to report that i have dropped to 265lbs
my goal was to hit 275 but i have gone past that and now am aiming for 225 i have been eating a salad everyday for lunch
and cutting down on dinner and snacks
 
Congrats to you RedBug...that's GREAT! =D> =D>

I was actually thinking about this thread this morning when I stepped out of the shower. I'm afraid to step on the scale and even see how bad I've been. #-o
 
Thanks for bringing this one back up. I went away for the summer and left my "accurate" scale at home. Won't be doing that again.

In May, I returned from a hedonistic (eating wise) cruise, and then headed to Illinois. My scale up North was flaky. Different readings every ten minutes. I gave up weighing myself ...and, of course, then enjoyed the heck out of Brats; beer; pizza and too many other delicacies.

Arrived back home a few weeks ago. Got on the scale and found, to my surprise, that I was only 6 lbs. over my lowest previous ( in this century) weight! I've since knocked four of those lbs. off and am down to below 245 again. I went back to the gym for the first time this morning..

There is hope! regards, Rich
 
I too am glad this thread has been revived.

I had hernia surgery and shoulder surgery this summer, a month apart. Finally able to exercise again, limited of coarse, but the physical therapy will tie in nicely with the diet.
 
My doctor wants me down to about 180 but I'm happy to be at 200.

My son was near 225 about six months ago. He bought a complete workout gym and put it in his spare bedroom. He works out everyday after work (pencil pusher) and has cut down on meats, sugars, starch and makes four small meals with mostly vegetables for his work day. He has lost 40 pounds in six months! I take him out to dinner once or twice a month on his "cheat days"!
 
My wife is my inspiration and a thorn in my side....She's lost just over 50 lbs in the past year. Now I've lost about 50 lbs over the past year too...I just keep putting it back on. She hasn't.
