Got on the scales today. 255lbs. Decided to start on the diet serious and start hitting the weights again.Been kinda slowing down on the eating for a couple weeks to get ready for it . Light weight workout and 1 mile on the treadmill. I could eat the tailgate off a shiotwagon right now. First couple of days retraining the appetite is always tough. Goal is 225. I went from 370 to 218 about five years ago so Im hopeing this wont be too bad to drop 30. I figure Im gonna need to drop a few and get back in better shape to handle them big azz trout and reds @ Port St Joe.

Chick-fil-a is a pretty good way to still eat a decent amount without taking in a ton of calories and fat. The chargrilled chicken sandwich has under 300 calories. Those yummy fries, however...

Thanks but the closest Chick fil a is 25 miles. I usually go green for the most part and limit my red meat intake. I dont eat fried( except fish, cant give up fried trout). Single guy like me who eats 90% of his meals out of a sack and doesnt get home everynight until around 9 wishes we had a chick fil a local!!!

Problem with chick-fil-a is I always seem to want it most on Sunday. They say men can lose a solid ten pounds by cutting out soda. So not fair! (not that i could cut out soda anyways)

BB.....try eating 5 small meals a day....consistently. The trick is to never be full yet never really hungry either. It works. Try not eating after 10:00pm at night and get at least 8 hours of sleep. Sleep plays a big part in weight loss/management. Drink water too. I got a really good book last year called "The Makers Diet" by Jordan Rubin (an FSU grad). There's some really good principles in there. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Good Luck. I could lose some myself.

Like you BB, I had tipped the scales to much (245). The clincher was when I went to have dental work, and they took my BP. Too high.

I now am down to 220, heading to a goal of 200. I have found that food I always thought was yuckie is actually quite tasty. The weird one was asparagus tips. I always thought YUK!. Now they are one of my favorites steamed with a little light butter over them. I still grill a good thick steak every few weeks, but have cut way back on the fried food (French fries in particular)

Like they say, I feel better, can get around better, and can actually look down and see my feet now.

I hear ya. I like me some asparagus spears steamed with a little e.v.o.o! Oh and seeing my feet never has been a problem, I wear a 12. Now you wanna talk about the dickeydoo disease, Im a victim. ( You know, my belly sticks out farther than my dickeydoo.)

WoW! I didn't need to know that

Jay,

You are talking about working out again and lifting weights for exercise.I recall a few weeks back you made a coment thet your hired help was waxing BB. That would have been a nice workout!

You guys put the asparagus in a cast iron pan with a dab of oil in the bottom, salt pepper and butter and slow cook(medium heat) on top off the stove . Turn it once.

Basically how its done, less the butter. Use E.V.O.O instead

Good luck BB.........I've lost 38 lbs. since 1st of January. I'm hit the scales at 251 this morning....1st time since I was 28 years old...to celebrate, I went to Econfina an caught a limit of trout !!! Report will follow later. I'm hoping to see 50 lbs lost ...Again, good luck. You can do it !
