With some this is a never ending battle with great frustration. I can say because of being active and my change of diet it has worked and worked well.
Instead of candy, I grab fruit such as a peach, or watermellon chunks etc. Even the change from eating beef to fish, chicken and pork. More salad and lots of water and or ice tea, no soda at all. I totally cut out table salt because I flat out got tired of what I had become physically.
In this picture, I am a whopping 240 pounds, as it was taken in Hawaii back in 2006 along with my wife Peggy, and son Anthony.

Since then I have dropped 40 pounds of un-wanted FAT to become as my wife says.... P.H.A.T. (pretty hot and tempting) [:D]

Now comes the working out on the Bowflex for a much better look, as I want more definition in my abbs, pecks and arms. I'm not talking the Muscle USA type of body here, ain't looking for the power lifter type that you see in all the Muscle and Fitness magazines.
BTW in the top picture I am wearing an size XL T-Shirt, and in the bottom picture that I just took this morning I am wearing an size M and you still can't see my S&W 637 airweight in the beltline.

Measure you food allotments on your plate... NO SECONDS of anything period. If you went to a dinner, you get what you order off the menu, they don't bring you seconds. Stick to your plan, and focus of loosing what you put on, to getting it off and get in shape. Get someone who can run ahead of you... remember ya got to chase bad guys ::) and sometimes they will wind ya easy.

Great job J_B O0 I have been into eating healthy for a long time, my newest discovery is almond butter.......mmmm. It is alot more expensive than PB but tastes alot better. I found a health food store where you can grind your own for like 9$ a pound. Mix it with some good chocolate protein powder (I like Muscle Milk, it has more sugar than some but tastes great) and you've got an instant meal. Wash it down with some 1% milk, in fact that is what i am doing right now.

Ditto on the great job JB....

You know what dude, don't have any worries, it's how you look and feel...on either of those i don't think i come close to the 40 number.....hey at my 20 yr class reunion there were 3 girls all talking about having babies in a couple months... it's the way of the world now...at that time I had no idea I would be a first dad soon after that!
Don't sweat it . We all just have to do everything to take care of ourselves....
.....back to the thread, JB you look good....

JB, you rock!!!!
I'm fighting a battle of the bulge. Aerobically, I still feel great and run 4 miles at a time with no problem (usually around 8:20 pace). However, I'm finding that at age 41 ... metabolism is a bitch. I know that I need to watch portion control at times and limit the beer/wine/schrotinis/margaritas/Ketel One's...but that was something that was never an issue just a few short years ago.
Still hanging tough at 205 (6' tall), would love to get to 195, but I am not going to slit my wrists if it doesn't happen.
-
....I am not going to slit my wrists if it doesn't happen.
Ya know what....I'd probably go ahead and slit the wrists, man....just my 2 cents >:D

Hey Buddah, can you see your pockets to get your two pennies out, or does your gut cover your beltline? :*))

Now what happened here to my thread......
Class.... Class.. :*))
Well this mornings weigh in was 195.5 pounds and pushing for my goal of 190 !B@
-
Go for it JB!! I'm on a weight loss regime too,Currently sitting at about 205, I want to get down to 180-185. I can lose weight if I set my mind to it but I am a big fan of food and I sometimes overindulge in sweets and cola(coke zero).
-
Right now i am 5'8 at 185 or 190 but i think i lost weight not for sure but i do look leaner so thats a good thing. I have been more strict on my diet so maybe thats it so of course i will loose some weight but mainly fat
-
Right on Wodie... I just weighed myself this morning a nice 194... getting to my goal of 190 pounds. Now the expense of buying cloths that fit because everything just about is way to big now.
-
You are on the right way J_B
-
great job j-b. that should be a great inspiration to all the people who is struggling to lose the weight. my girlfriend is working on losing some weight, she has lost 60 lbs. so far and shes cutting down on sugar, and starches. she sells avon, so she gets alot of walking in, and thats helping too.thanks j-b for some great advice.
