My car is getting faster!

And I'm getting skinnier. Over 20 lbs lost since new years. Woho! Those six-pack abs are just starting arrive. Just shadow, but they are there.

Wife is lov'n the new me.

I have a six pack. Its behind a mini-keg. Probably brought on by the copious amounts of beer that we drink, probably because my girlfriends dad has been supplying us with about 6 cases a month since she turned 21.

That's great, FT! 20 lbs in six weeks is some serious weight loss. What technique are you using?

What's your secret? Limb loss? The world wants to know.

"Eat Less, Move More"

Think I'll write a book titled that. Might make millions.

Zero point soups that taste good

This alone is probably the #1 thing food wise that's working. They taste good, easily changed (like use a beef broth base), even I can make it, and I can eat a lot of it.

The family membership at the Y my wife signed us of for would be #2. I go three times a week. Half hour on some eleptical thingie, and then an hour using all the weight machines (I lift a lot of elephants). I'd stagger my way home at first, but now it's getting comfortable and routine.

It did start with a couple of us at work deciding to use the weight watchers system at the begining of the year. I even went and bought the Weight Watchers cook book. We've been eating veggies, no more McDonalds, etc. A whole lot of learning about how I'd sabatoged myself many times in the past (I somehow didn't know Ramin Noodles were fat bombs and such).

I've tried to lose weight before, sometimes with a bit of success. But this time, it's working. Working real well.

You might be on to something there... eat less... move... more ....

About 5yrs ago I went to the Dr for a physical and they mentioned that my pressure was high and I had an extraordinary level of cheese in my circulatory system for a man in his late 30s. They really wanted to sell me purple pills but I started not eating and jogging instead (I hate taking things I don't need). 120/70, cholesterol is under 100 and my knees hurt a lot less at 180 then they did at 210. Ran my 1st 1/2 marathon last spring... going for the whole shebang this year.

Congrats on the weight loss & 6 pack. I was never able to maintain one for more than about a month. I hate weights.

I think my car has gotten at least 30lbs heavier in the last 6-7 months....

Adding lightness = faster car. Car doesn't care how you do it.

My car is getting faster, and Leon's getting smaaaaalllller.

I was not going to go there....

look at it this way too.. all the weight is up high in the chassis too

Congrats! Its a great feeling, isn't it?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Congrats on losing the weight though, last year I lost about 40 pounds on the "Eat less, move more" diet.

xercise cuts into my sleep/tv time. Congrats on the improvements. Its a tough road and you should be proud!

I am waiting for spring to get back on my bicycle.. the path here still has a foot of snow on it.. so it has been a case of eating even less than usual

congrats on the weight loss, i have been trying to work my ass off also since after the first, i have not nothiced much, but the other thing is i have been just about every day or so in the gym for about 20 to 30 mitues and just started into the weights a couple of weeks ago and need to get back into doing things early in the day though...it sucks sleeping till noon most of the time....

I will not congratulate you. Instead I will curse you.

Even the good Dr is aware of one of the most basic laws of matter.

You cannot destroy it, simple change its form and move it around (I am, of course, paraphrasing)

So the 20 lbs that you lost has to go somewhere. Guess where Spanky?

Since moving back to OK I have put on 20 lbs.

I blame you

Congrats!!!

I used to have ripples in my stomach, now I have ripple.

More like a speed hump here. That's ok the challenger WILL be at least 50 lbs lighter come challenge time. Hoping more like 100lbs. 100lbs = 1/10 in the quarter right?

As a former fatty, lost 40 in the last 3 years. Just pace yourself and don't get discourage, the rate of weight loss will slow as you reach your optimal weight.

Weightloss is like tuning an engine, all about input and optimizing.

Congrats

I have been doing the same thing. Eat less do more. Works every time. Also watching what you eat.

I went from about 260 to 200lbs in a bit longer then one summer by walking a few mile every night, and watching what i ate and how much i ate. This was junior year in high school just a few years ago (3-4 yrs) Its not that i was fat and lazy, haha far from it just i have a weakness for food.

Now, since the new year, i have been doing 100 pushups a day and 120 situps a day and getting ready to do more. Im eating better, and will start walking/ runing when the weather breaks. I feel so so much better, and ever though i have always been built, now im more toned and i like it.

Just my own success story i guess.
The hardest part is starting.

Lost 15 pounds since the new year myself. Trying to get into summer cycling shape doing 3-4 hours a week on the trainer, killing about 1k calories per hour. I'd like to be doing 6-7 per week but time mangement is a problem. I might even start watching what I eat :)

I took the easy way out and added HP.

Actually I have lost some weight. The beginning of Dec. I was 276#. The scale this morning put me at 261. My trick is stress and worry. Seems to work well. Oh yeah, I quit the super sizing.

that road salt must be rusting the hell out of your car if its lost 20lbs in that amount of time!
