Re: as was said "It now begins"

I lost 35 lbs last fall over the course of 4 months..At 6' tall and 32 years old (and riding a desk job 40 hrs a week) I was approaching the 200lb mark.. I cut out all fast food, soda, and junk food with the exception of the occasional splurge... My daily food intake became a nutrigrain bar for breakfast with coffee, a banana or other piece of fruit for lunch with water, and dinner was whatever my wife made, but I stopped at one plate of food. I don't like to exercise, so I'd just go for a walk each evening with the kids. It worked for me.

Oh, and I ditched the riding mower in favor of a non self propelled push mower.

RBH I bet if you leave the Bucket Trucks at the house and started climbing those 40' ladders up them poles carring all the equipment it would knock 50lbs. off quick.

Ladder's, try climbing hooks and a belt, I can almost hear myself shrinking.

Well I am still walking (5'11 at 167) and entered my first 5k race last week and finished it in 36.16, I was surprised on how many runners I past while speed walking.Keep up the good work HSF

How much you walk will make a lot more difference than what you eat, Rob.

Good luck.

Anyone interested in weight loss, should also pay very close attention, to what they eat, IMO. Calories add up very quickly and are lost at a much slower rate. Modern foods are loaded with calories and fat.

A Big Mac, fries and a classic coke, will take Rob about 2.5 hours of walking to burn off. A sliced chicken sandwich (no Mayo) and a diet coke, will take about 45 minutes.

We are all interested in your success.

Of course, when you do get buff, we are going to start to say bad things about you.

I better define BUFF as it applies to rob, it's not a six pack set of abs, but on the other hand it's not a keg either!
