did you ever reach your goal?

[Tyler]

did you ever reach your goal?

Well, did you?

Ok...once again, kudos to Tyler for lighting the fire under my caboose!!

It's my second day on Nutrisystem and today will be my first day back to the gym since the end of August.  Weighed in yesterday at 253.  On my 45th Birthday (April 9) I'd like to be 40 lbs lighter (213).

When I get down to 238 I shave the plate!!!  This is in fulfillment of a deal my wife and I made. 

We have friends and family coming into town to go skiing in February and March.  So this will be a good impetus to stay on track.  Being diligent I should be able to lose 20 lbs for the February group....and another 10 or so for the March group.  Now, diligent for me apart from the obvious eating and workout requirements is staying away from something I love very much---BEER and various other adult beverages.  I'm a good ol' Irishman....and it's very social and recreational for me.  But it is my way of drawing a line in the sand and saying, "Man, what is more important for the next 4 months?" 

Guess that's it for now.

Hey dude, does Nutrisystem really work? I need to loose some weight too!! I'v tried all kinds of diets with no success, I can't afford a gym membership right now, and when I could I was always on the road, so I had no time to go anyway. I wish that the big truck stop chains would add a gym to their facility and you could buy a membership, that you could use at any of their truck stops. If you or anyone else could offer some advise it would be greatly apreciated. thanks.

I am surprised with Nutrisystem...as it is an OLD name in dieting...like Jenny Craig & Weight Watchers.  But they have come to the cutting edge of reality and practicality.

I think Nutrisystem would be great for the road, good buddy. 

The stuff doesn't need to be refridgerated.  Just need either boiling water or a microwave.  And it's not a carrot and celery stick and rice cake type thing.  The portions are pretty small but everything is fortified with soy protein and allows for a fair amount of fat.   fat + protein = FILLING.

For instance...the dessert cookies and chocolates have 9 grams of protein in just them.  And the carbs are very balanced.

Understood now....

[Tom McGarry.]

Just don't call me a good buddy, but you can call Dave ( Drakare ) a good budd all you want.

Ok...it's been a while since visiting the ol' fitness plan....

Today my wife and I did a spinning class (stationary cycling)...

It was BRUTAL...and great HEAVY music (Cinderella, AC/DC, Guns & Roses, Motley Crue)...

Think I'm gonna try doing that 3 times a week and then add in weight training somehow.

I'm glad I'm still not waiting to lose the 15lbs in order to shave the bean....I have lost 6 lbs.

I do love being one of the few bald dudes at the gym......feel like I'm accountable to lift more weight.

Good job, Rob!  Remember becoming out of shape didn't happen overnight in one gaint step, so be patient in getting back into shape.    It happens one step at a time

[Robmeister]

Ok...haven't been able to hit a groove with my plan above of 2/16.

But that's still the plan as far as getting exercise.

The funny thing is....I've been eating (and drinking) anything that comes to mind, whenever it comes to mind since 2/16....and I've actually lost a couple pounds.

So I'm at 247....9lbs away from my original fitness goal to shave the noggin...having lost 6 lbs (without really trying).

But I'm gonna try a new program that has only been around a couple years.  It's about healthy cleansing strategies that keep the gastrointestinal, lymphatic, etc... systems flushed and clean of toxins through natural/herbal treatments.

Apparently, when your body releases toxins, it metabolizes fat more readily.

You may have heard of it...IsoGenix.  It's been getting great press and great endorsements from top homeopathic medical professionals.

It's sold only through independent distributors. 

If I pay the $35.00 fee to become a distributor, I get a big discount on the products.

Anyway, gonna give it a go...and if it works as advertised, I'll be a walking billboard and might promote the stuff as a distributor (little side stream of income).

I'll keep you posted....I'd really like to lose 40 lbs, man.

Rob,

Keep up the good work, no matter what you do.  But one thing I am wondering with the different diets is how much long term success there is.  From what I know, the most successful way to lose weight is to make a lifestyle change.  I'm sure you know that.  Here's an example.  On Friday, a sales rep who sells to the carpet store that I work at bought us all lunch of greasy fast food from a independent burger place.  I had some really good fish and chips.  I am glad that I had that.  But I also made sure that the next morning I went to the gym and packed a healthy lunch the next day.  Despite having this fried food, I have still lost weight.  I just know I can't eat like that every day.  So maybe an occasional beer might not be too bad if occasional is not daily!
