New Year's Resolution
 

I hate to make the most cliche resolution but I am trying to drop some pounds and get back into shape. On the 1st the wife and I trashed the junk food in our apartment and we are both committing to healthier diets. I quit drinking and other things years ago, quit dipping over a year ago, and quit smoking about 10 months ago. Now its time to quit being fat:*****:

In the past I lost about 50lbs on a very strict diet with lots of exercise. Problem was I could not maintain the weight loss because the diet was so strict. My goal is to work out on a consistent basis and eat much healthier. Hopefully I can make this a lifestyle change rather then a fad with quick results. I want to lose 40 pounds by the end of this year and greatly increase my physical fitness. I weighed in on the 1st and I was 251.2

I started my exercise regimen yesterday with some walking and running. Joined the gym today and did some cardio and light lifting. Felt pretty good to back in the gym!! I will keep you folks posted.

congratulations... i need to get me another pair of tennis shoes.... i have (1) pair of dr martins and about (10) pair of boots...

I picked up a new pair a few months ago. My wife had a coupon for some place in BR and I got a nice pair of tennis shoes for 30 bucks.

I'm going to do the same. I'm not doing any of those "fad diets" but rather I'm changing the way I eat and starting to excercise. I figure if I just eat healthier and eat less the weight will come off and stay off alot better than just losing alot at one time.

I stopped smoking first and then I'm going to try to lose a few pounds. Smoking sucks. I want one so bad!!!

I used the patch which helped a lot. The cravings are not bad at all after a while. The patch helps curb those initially strong cravings.

2 weeks into the "new me" and i feel good. besides bn super tired every morning... but i do have more energy during the day.
with my crazy work schedule i work out @ diff times every day. but i always work out.
1 hr cardio then pump iron. im basically doin the same lifts i did with college football, just alot less weight.
was seriously sore the first week but now im good to go.
i actually played in a alumni b-ball game last nite.....didnt get tired. played abut 30 of the 40 minutes. really felt good to not get winded and to b able to run up and down the court. also my knees didnt hurt at all and are feeling fine today.
and after 4 knee reconstructions, thanks collee footbal, that is always a good thing.

o yea ...i still got my jump shot. 9 for 16....booooyaaaahhhhh

9 for 16 ?? way to go man.... pretty darn good... im going to try to stop dipping......wish me luck

baller!!!!
 

i was larry bird back in the day!!! then i started played football in high school, got big:*****: and basketball fell to the side.

good luck with the no dippin... i can make it bout 3 days then life gets me too overwhelmed and i gotta put one in.... better than smokin.:help::help:

i went 4.... i was gonna go ape **** on someone.... its much cheaper and keeps me outta trouble !!!

hahahaha!!!
im like the hulk.....ur not gonna like me with out a dip in!!!!!!

same here

whats that bad about dip been doing it for couple years and nothing?

u will know when ur lip and teeth fall out

just a little thing called lip cancer... bad stuff man dont start take it from an ex dipper/smoker

Since I stoped smoking, i dip alot more. People are always saying neg. stuff about it. It just made my bottom lip dark red...

Dipped when I was younger, quit when my gums were receeding badly. Well < the front 2 teeth came out a few years ago because there was nuthin to hold them in place. Even after having grapghs done to save em.

even if your using pouches?

yeah none of its safe and its hard as hell to quit trust me I'm trying

yep even pouches
