Very true and my family cooks like crazy during this time of year.  BLAH!   :-\

Mikekoz13:
Good luck Craig!

This very Sunday I am going to start working out after a VERY long hiatus.

My goal is 20-30 pounds by the end of January.

This is actually a very good time to start on a fitness program, before you get swept away with the excesses of the holidays.  If you can stay disciplined for the next few weeks, most of the cravings will be gone by the time Thanksgiving arrives -- and if you've seen some positive results by then, it will motivate you to stay more or less on program during the holidays.  Go ahead and indulge on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but limit the indulgences to one day and then get back on the wagon.

I've been struggling to shed a few pounds for a while now.  I greatly restricted my caloric intake beginning around the first of October and I'm starting to see some results now.  The first couple of weeks were a bit rough, but I'm over the worst of it now and don't seem to be as hungry as I was in the beginning.

Hang in there, guys -- you can do it!

Thanks Mike I appreciate the support! My timeline will probably be something more like that as well. I really have a 240 day plan in place because I need to drop 50-60lbs total probably. I want to get back to being Lean and super athletic like I once was ::sigh::.

Today will be Day #15, and I have P90X Shoulders & Arms tonight after work. I have replaced my breakfast with Shakeology and am already down 6lbs - although that seems to fluctuate 1-2lbs each day.

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!
