My own little diet thread!

[UmAnOnion]

best of luck with your efforts guys. I had put on a pound or twenty in the recent past but have managed to drop most of it over the last few months.

Hard work & determination & a picture of what i looked like at my heaviest posted on the refridgerator have gotten me this far and will hopefully carry thru until the summer!!!

plus dont forget muscle weighs mor ethan fat so look at the inches you loose as well as any pound losses

Rather than lose weight I feel one needs to have a range of kilt sizes to accommodate the current weight class one dines in.
I a curently dining at 40.5inches by 24inches.
just in case, there is a Kilt Adoption Agency- "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled kilts"

BEst of luck man....make sure you get the cardio in with the diet.....will help keep the metabolism going....just remember when you stop losing the weight it means you need to up your caloric intake to keep your metabolism fueled

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for when I plateau again; that was when I quit last time.

And when I get the extra bedroom/gym cleaned up and back in use, I'll post a picture, just to prove I'm doing it.

I would, but I have the rest of the family to think about.

Good Luck Iolaus!

I went from 182 to 168 since the 1st of the year. It takes a lot of will power to stick to a regime of eating and exercising right.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Best of luck to you!

My wife and I are both doing the South Beach Diet. My wife lost 60 pounds on it last year.. We have been at it for almost a month now.. In the first three weeks I lost 18 pounds.... I weigh in on tuesdays... so we'll see if I'm still on the right track...

Good luck to you....I do that yo-yo diet....always wind up back on the high end...

Using my weight bench to dry my kilt hose on the barbell thingie...

Been picking up weights since I was in college...now light weights, high reps...when I take the kilt hose off the bar....

Don't forget the same support that X Marks is for kilts is also available for weight loss on line.

I belong to an online stag OA group and a coed Pagan OA group.

I hear you. I started a game plan this past weekend. A neighbor and I started the weekly ritual of a brutal up hill hike near our place. Add that to the fact that I am giving up smoking in a week or two (not trying, I am doing it). It looks like my wife has gotten a position with her company that wil allow her to work from home, which means I can now walk to and from work everyday (4 km each way, uphill there, down on the way home). I am hoping to ditch a few pounds and get into a better lifestyle.

I thought about going back to the gym, but I live in a place where there is sooooo much to do outdoors, that I want to take advantage of that than a stale gym where my workout is disrupted by having to wait for equipment.

Great to see a rugger here, played actively 66-90, then went to the Oldies so i could say i have played in 5 decades. But am feeling every bit of it, but with the pain comes great memories, at least those not washed out at the parties.

Down to 211. I dropped below 210 a couple of times last week, but with the beer and food at the Irish festival, and a family birthday party, I really over-indulged this weekend, so it looks like this morning's weigh-in is probably accurate. Oh well, it's still lower than two weeks ago.
