Well, Ive done the same thing. Watching shows on TV about being health conscience. There Iam, watching TV, eating snacks, doing nothing active, while a show about being healthy plays away. All the while sitting there thinking, you know, they're right, I could do that or I should do that. Popping another snack in my mouth.

Well let me get down to my target weight before we call it a good idea, LOL. It would, however, if we were close enough to one another, that we could get together a few times a week to meet up and go for a run, brisk walk or do some type of exercise. There is nothing like good ole peer support to keep one moving along.

I have to deal with the likes of GTPluv and shes some type of pre-Madonna or something.











Okay, Im going off to hide in my corner again.

Thank you. You made me smile. I may have to stop harassing you about being directionally challenged now.

I find myself doing the same thing (I am short 5'9 or so) and when I saw 200 pounds I was horrified (when I got out of the Army I was 135 pounds) when I worked at the airport I had lost 45 pounds, and was in great shape, then I got hurt and couldn't lift more than a couple of pounds, now I can't keep up with my son in the yard and that sucks (I am getting better though)

Great post Scott! Good job on taking action turning things around.

I'm 6' and from high school until I was in my mid/late twenties I could never get over 167lbs. Well that changed when my wife got pregnant. I gained 1 lb less than her putting me at 213 lbs. What can I say I'm a sympathetic husband. I dropped over half of it after our daughter was born.

Two work injuries/surgeries in the past couple years I gained back some going back to 204 lbs and lost a TON of muscle strength. I'm actually thankful for the injuries to an extent. I got the time with my lil girl and I quit smoking 1 1/2 years ago while out.

I think I'm finally nearing recovery and am actually thankful for our Occupational Conditioning Center. Recently I've been able to start strength training and conditioning. Back down to 189 lbs and gaining some muscle strength/endurance again.

I've changed the things I eat, cut my portions in half (was always "Slim" and could eat anything), and exercise more than most of my life. Not to mention I'm done with factory work, going back to school, and trying to start a few things of my own.

I really respect your posting this and wish you guys the best of luck. Even if we are the warm and fuzzy GP community, I wouldn't have it any other way. LOL. It's not car related, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to have a lifestyle or whatever section. GPF will always have my respect and loyalty. Somewhat reminds me of when I first got into CGP almost a decade ago.
