thanks whacker. i can't say i have not had a few treats along the way but my diet is a bit diffrent then most. it is a home made style of atkins diet that i have made up myself. if i was not sitting in a tractor so much and could be out yote hunting or scouting i would be losing more but am happy what i have done and want to get to 50lbs down then i will be very very happy. keep at it bud and you will be sprinting up those hills this fall

you obviously haven't seen me spring   

my diet consists of losing 5 lbs monday through friday and putting 4 - 4 1/2 lbs back on during a weekend.  But I am staying home this weekend and will be without beer, so we will see if I can make it without putting the weight back on.

Walked about 5 miles in the Blues this weekend doing mountaineering with my National Guard unit.  Good exercise, good training, but didn't find any sheds

The weight is starting to fall off me. Working out five days a week and feeling better. Another 15 and I will be ready to rock and roll.

It's crazy what we will put our selves through just to chase an elk up a mountain. So far this year I have hiked about 110 miles about 70 of those were with my daughter on my back. just bought a mountain bike a couple weeks ago and already got about 90 miles on it. been playing basketball 2 nights a week and hitting the weights about 2 nights a week and the whole time I've had only one thing on my mind.............................  september

WOW Fred!!!  61 #--Youre gonna have to carry picture ID with you....   

I'm hanging around 192 but much stronger,  PT twice a week  for two hours + now and increasing weights and reps.  the knee is pretty strong and pain free during the day, still aches at night as does the back fusion.  Lifted a a 60 # sack of Quickcrete  last week and I was reminded i had not lifted much for 5 months.

Well it took me a long time to go from 250 to 245, but I hit it this morning.  Next target 240.

That makes 25 lbs since the end of winter.

I'm down 68 pounds in 83 days. The weight loss has slowed a little lately, but still coming down.  My clothes are just hanging off me, time for a new set this weekend.  I have done 124 miles so far in July and only need 6 more for my goal of 130.  I have started adding in some narly hills and I am beginning to really climb those well.  2 more pounds and I hit halfway, 70 down and 70 to go.  Damn I feel so much better!  I will never let myself go like that again...ever!

Nice work Machias, most people don't know how hard it is to lose 70 pounds so fast, congrats!
