Yeah, right, Frank. Even if you're 6'2" you should be looking to lose 35
pounds or grow 6 inches (in heigth) to have a "normal" BMI. See the following

Yeah, this weight thing is a B***h, and it doesn't get better as you get older

I hear that John, been putting on the pounds myself. I'm a big guy and look and
feel comfortable at 200. My normal is 200. Now I'm 225, must be the good life.

I am in a winter slump at the moment. The Christmas present of a Wii and Jenny
McCarthy workout are saving me. I wish there were more ice free walking paths
in our area. In the Summer and fall, I was walking (very briskly) 3 miles a
day. Now that I am only doing half that, due to ice, and only 2 times a week, I
am pushing 200. I have to balance slipping and wrenching my back with staying
limber from the walks. It all goes down the tubes if I hurt myself. I was up to
225 at my heaviest. 185 before surgery (drugs, and not eating). At least I am
healthy enough to move again. I can't wait to get out there on the walks again,
because I am not getting the cardio I need from it.
Brian, That is really great. I had a treadmill, but I didn't have the space in
the house for it, and I hated it besides. I have never eaten too much, but I
have been lately. Cindy has discovered FoodNetwork.com and the recipes are
awesome. Her business is a bit slower, and she has had more time to cook. It's
my biggest issue right now. Trying not to eat so much, when it's soooooo tasty!

I had to rule out being too busy and get up at 5-5:45 everyday so I am finished
by the time my son is getting up. I run about 20-25 miles a week, most
everyday I do 25 min of cardio and 2-3 days a week 45 minutes(around 4 miles at
6mph on the tredmill)
I focus mostly on the weight training but right now I am doing 6 days a week,
each bodygroup 2 times a week, changing the excersizes every week to get sore
each time. Tremendous amounts of whole foods, you wouldn't b elieve how much I
am eating and still loosing weight.
Breakfast was 9 eggwhites(no salt or butter, plain), bowl of plain quick oats
with a little cinnamon only, and a heaping half cup of mixed veggies, light
salsa and Jalepenos on top.
That is the first of 6 meals thruout the day, it is really hard to get it all
down, but good whole food is naturally very low in calories,. So in order to
rebuild and have energy fot the next day, I have to eat that much. The crazy
part is, I am losing weight so it is still not enough calories.
March 1st will change to grow, and will have to eat 50% more. Mayan Riiera
vacation planned soon so want to cut down before
then.
John, the worst part is no fun beers for now :-(

Wow that is major progress. Impressive. I bet you feel better too.
Work has crowded out time for workouts, but I make sure I get at least
one in a week. The Y has a Fitlinxx system that keeps track of your
reps & sets on each machine, and your overall workout. Lately I've
been trying to see how much total weight I can lift in one session by
doing sets of 12 instead of 10, raising the weight, etc. I was amazed
that a small change could take my total weight lifted from the mid 30K
pounds to over 50K. I'm skipping cardio... but I'll get back to it...
the busy season for my wife will make schedules tricky around our
house.
