weight loss

Hello All:

I washed the bikes and pulled out the batteries today. So no more riding for me till next year and I thought I'd throw in a different subject.

This past Thanksgiving was a wake up call for me. When I saw 186 lbs, I was terrified. Since then I've lost 12 lbs and aiming at another 12 lbs by x'mas. Maybe it's a little too ambitious but I'll try.

Cheers,

E.

It's hard to take it off. As a reminder every time I go to the gym I pick up two 25 pound barbells and do a quick trip around the gym with them to remind me of that extra weight I carried. I'm working to lose another 20 but it"s real slow going now. Good luck to all trying to lose weight and never give up.

Hey Ya all, I have lost a even 70 lbs since Sept 1, 2011. My goal is an even 100lbs. If I do that I will weigh what I did when I got out of Marine Corps boot camp!

Dang Ross, if you lose 100 lbs. how do you expect people to recognize you?

My merchant marine life gave me a constant 145 lbs. When I first met my mother-in-law, she was worried of my weight.

But those days were great, I could drink and eat as much as I wanted to and maintain 145 lbs or size 28 Levi's.

186 pounds? Where's the rest of you? I weighed 186 pounds when I was in the Marine Corps.

The temps are considerably higher than normal on this side of the country and my beer intake has increased accordingly.

I tore a page out of your book E and have lost 30 lbs. and I'm aiming for another 30. That'll take me to 200 lbs. I just about fell off my feet when I saw 258 Lbs.
Thanks for the inspiration !!

Rick, you've been so quite, have you moved to your new place, yet?

And congrats on the 30 lbs, it feels great, doesn't it?

Cheers,

E.
