Interesting subject, and certainly an appreciated challenge to participate in.
The "boobies" comment cracked my right up and I remember about 15 years ago when I was out in the back yard tossing the ball with one of my very young nephews. He asked if I was pregnant!!!
Now that was a real awakening for me! I was about 203 lbs at the time, which is the most I have ever weighed.
I've been pretty active most of my life and it wasn't until the advent of the PC, that became all too sedentary, spending most of my day sitting down, I'd find myself eating something just to stay awake. (Too much somethings, obviously!) In most of the 80's I was about 145 lbs, but by the 90's, I was up to 160 or so, and just kept putting the weight on. Retired in 2003, and a bit stressed by it all (more eating and less activity), I find it much harder to get that weight off.
BTW, weight in itself is a problem, but how tall are we in relation to that weight? I fairly small-boned, but stand at 5'11" and for the first half of my life I was considered to be all too skinny; which is certainly not how I see myself now.

I think this is a great idea. And having others doing the same for support is a great way to do this. I am doing this for the youngest so that I can do more things with him. We also have the older kid graduating this year and a wedding to go to. And losing I know will help my knees. Good luck to everyoneMrs. Wallnut a.k.a (the head nut).Comment

No idea down how much. I updated the spreadsheet to reflect my "Official" Weight Watchers weigh in (What I am using to track). My starting point here is down 6.8 lbs from the weigh in last week...
No vending machine for me at work for sure! I brought a little tub thingy in my lunch bag full of fresh fruit. Blackberries and Strawberry for afternoon snack for me!Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

Can't seem to find my ActiveLink... Grrr... Oh well. Tracking, and using S-Fit on my galaxy... It's good to know how much excersize I am really getting...
Apparently working on the shop is good for weight loss! I just need to get LOML to believe this!
Weight is up from last week, but not shocked. I lost a LOT of water weight getting sick with the reaction to the flu shot. I am however down 7 lbs from the Dr. office so I am good... I think the water weight is back, and what I am down now I think I am actually down...
Too danged cold to go for a long walk outside, so we are working out in the house... Not much fun with no carpet / padding present. LOML is antsy. Can't blame her. The old carpet HAD to go, and we are working on smoothing / leveling the floor in prep for hardwood flooring... Man this is a LOT of work!Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

I am in the middle of a 9 day intense effort cycling tour done to videos on a trainer. I've so far lost 5 pounds although some of that may be due to daily fluctuations. It is not exactly a low cost option but it seems to work for me. Already have a road bike and a passion for cycling and a competitive nature. I was able to pick up a used trainer to mount my bike to for about a hundred a couple of years ago, if i had to start fresh a good trainer costs $270-$350. The videos I use are part of the Sufferfest series from theSufferfest.com and sell for about $13 each as a download. My point is that I have found an indoor workout program that works for me. Swimming seems to be another popular indoor workout, around here the city parks dept. runs an indoor pool and for city residents the monthly cost is reasonable.
After this present tour I'll go back to riding outside weather permitting on the weekends, plus doing indoor trainer rides during the week.Last edited by Black wallnut; 01-29-2014, 03:47 PM.Donate to my Tour de Cure

Mr. and Mrs. Walnut are scaring me though. Hey guys is this the norm for you? To get those kinds of numbers I would have to take a butcher knife to my gut...
On the plus side, when I drop the weight I am carrying, portaging my 80lb canoe will seem like nothing...Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.Comment

I used to be an avid rider. I have a trainer that clamps on to my back wheel but after months of not riding, my "butt calluses" are gone, and with the extra weight, not as much fun to ride. Vicious cycle. Pun intended.
I use the treadmill more (which is right next to the bike). At least on there, I can rest my tablet on the treadmill and stream shows. I'm thinking of some pedestal thingy--like a music stand--I can make to hold my tablet in a comfortable position while I ride because I REALLY miss riding.
Every weight loss ad has that "Individual results will vary" or the one I like the best "Results not typical" statement.
When I was in WW, I lost a steady 1 to 2 pounds every week. Some people were shedding weight much faster and even reached lifetime after 3 sessions. You've just got to do what works for you. It's hard not to want to peak at your weight all the time, but I think WW does it right with once per week. For me, checking everyday is self defeating if I have a bad day.Comment

I've probably hit my winter peak and now the first ten should come off with only an increase in activity. After that it for me will take much more discipline at the food bag and pub. LOML on the other hand is on a diet that works. Nothing against y'all but I'm hoping she wins! If she does I might be able to get her out on a bike.
To be successful at losing weight by exercise means hard work that only gets harder as time progresses. It is worth the pain or discomfort to improve your health.Donate to my Tour de Cure

The big steak dinner last night didn't help but for my 2nd weigh in...225.6lb. Down 2.4lb.
Can't say that I did anything drastic other than not getting seconds at dinner and I drank a lot less beer/alcohol this week.
Of course, my coworker brought in HUGE doughnuts this morning. I've got a bavarian cream sitting in front of me right now. If I keep typing, I won't eat it. Oh well.Comment
