BaldWriterBob:
I wish you well. I'm on a weight-loss quest, too.

--- Quote --- Thanks Razor! I appreciate the encouragement, and was hoping that would be the case. I wanted to start prior to all of the junk food, cookies, cakes, pies etc so I can be more disciplined about my decisions through the holidays. In addition, I didn't want to be another "New Years Resolution" case that always seem to fizzle out much more quickly.
I am excited to have found a forum where I can talk about fitness as well as another passion of mine, which is reaching out to people who are balding at a young age like I was to reassure them there is nothing to worry about. Love this place!

How did the weight loss goals turn out? Did you make it?
mrzed:
Sorry. missed the date of the original postings.
The math does not add up. Today is Jan 29th. To loose 40-50 pounds in two days (by Jan 31st) is not healthy.
Perhaps you mean Jan 31, 2013? that would be reasaonable. Or if you mean that you have already lost 38 pounds and you want to finish to the 40 pound mark in two more days ... that would be reasonable.
You can do it. I was about 235 back in 2007. Now hovering in the low 180's and have been as low as 169 ... I'm heading back that way.
By the way, if you need a nice site for exercise, diet and general health coaching and mentoring, check out www.sparkpeople.com Very encouraging. They do sell a few products, but none are necessary to participate in the system. I've been with these folks for about 5 years and still enjoy the encouragement. Sorta like SBG for weight loss and excercise.

This thread is a a year old!!!
I went strong for about 7 weeks and then hurt my shoulder working out. It took about a month for that to get better and then...... I never started back. I was down about 15 lbs. but gained about all of it back.
Honestly, my fat ass has gotten lazy in the last year. The wife and I have resolved to get fit this winter/Spring and stay there. My wife actually works out 5 days a week for at least an hour and is pretty fit.
Coincidentally, today is the day I begin a new workout regimen. My soon to be 15 year old son and I are starting a program together. He's incredibly fit because he's wrestler. He's 5'-9" and about 142 lbs.. Long and lean!!
I'm trying to get him physically stronger for wrestling next year because he got out-muscled 4-5 times this year by kids that weren't as good as him. He's trying to get me fit so I live to see my Grandkids. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fat slob but I guess I'm like a lot of 51 year old guys. Not as active so not as fit.
A realistic goal for me is to lose 20-25 lbs. in about three months. That means that by May 1st I should be where I want to be if I stay on track.
Briggs:
I'm 56 years old and lost 23 lbs from Jan to April last year. High protein, low fat and consistent workouts. I ordered P90X and it put me in pretty good shape. I went from 215 to 192. I gained a few lbs back over the year and started up again Jan. 3rd. This year I'm doing the same and trying to get to 185 or so. Good luck. It's a struggle.
