I have no idea what this means. I'll also add that I'm skeptical.

I've been doing it wrong. I thought you're supposed to use your ***** all this time.

Didn't we have a competition on this board to lose weight?

If we did, I @#%^ing lost. Lucky for me I'm so charming.

So, your cousins really dig the beer-and-pork rinds belly, do they?

I actually gained weight (about 20 pounds) upon moving back east. I'm just starting to lose it again. I'm in the gym at least 3 times a week, and walking the dogs an hour each night (as long as the temp is under 90 degrees - they have the yard to run around in all day, so they still get their cardio). I've changed my diet pretty drastically for the better. In the process though, I'm also building up muscle, which is great.

I've got a lot of motivation to dropping the pounds - most importantly, I want to be living a long time so improving my health is priority one. I've been dating a lot of lovely ladies, so that goes without saying. Thank Bob for chubby-chasers, I guess. A year after my separation/divorce, I think I'm about ready to go for a long-term relationship again. Also, I've got a Reno bachelor party in September and the wedding will be in Puerta Vallarta, MX in November. I hope to be down to 200 by then. I'll be happy if I can get near that goal. It's only 85 pounds away. Eventually, no matter how long it takes, I would like to get to 185 - 190...yeah, yeah, I know, 100 pounds from now.

My weight has been stagnant. But I need to start losing some body weight if I am seriously going to do this triathlon I've been thinking about for May 2009. I have 9 months to train for it. And I'm doing the Sprint length, not the Ironman length.

I changed my diet quite a bit in 04 when told I was diabetic. Cutting out sugar in my diet and trying to be more active. By 05 I was down to 190 from 220. Today even after lying around for 3 months with my broken leg I am around 182.

Elinda your son needs to look at diet and exercise. Its the only true way.
Substitue carrots, fruit along those line for snacks instead of chips etc.
He also needs to be motivated to do it. If you are cooking any of his meals, just be sure they are balanced.
(yeah its all so common and old fashioned advice.)

I won't know how much I weight until next Monday when I see the doctor. since I got down to where I can fit into size 10 jeans, I been just trying to maintain my diet and increase my exercise little at a time.

Learning to pace myself is hardest part, as I want to be able to walk on long hikes, like I did before I got Fibromyalgia. I'm looking into taking yoga, once I can find a class I can afford. With the meditation I been doing daily I am feeling healthier then I have been in years.

Having Jonwin have to change his diet has help also, though I keep telling him that I don't need to eat as much meat, as he likes to serve. I would like to include a lot more fresh or frozen vegetables with our meals, too. Hopefully I'll be able to help in the kitchen more often, at the rate I'm working at on improving my health mentally now.

Adding one onion to the pan with the meat, doesn't count in my book. I want some green and yellow vegetables on my plate, too. Since I had a all beef polish hot dog for lunch, I most likely have salad or heat up some vegetables for dinner.
