Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 7:22 am) Long term for weight loss is the better way to do it anyway. Long and slow is the ticket!

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 7:22 am) Yes, in terms of the "prize," I think things should proceed as originally planned. I just think we should continue to encourage one another (i.e., keep the "competition" going). I apologize if my original suggestion was interpreted differently.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 9:33 am) Are you not eligible because you're a host? If that's the case volkov is our leader. Unless one of the people who hasn't reported yet lost more?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 9:43 am) yeah... I'd probably have to claim it on my taxes... Seriously... the weight loss makes me very, very happy.. I'm trying not to make any changes that I can't keep up, ad infinitum... So, everything in moderation.. It is working even better than I hoped.. One big change: I won't drink beer that I don't love.. I'm not wasting calories on Miller Lite or Coors Light.. That allows me to drink even more Newcastle or Paulaner Hefe-weizen...

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 14, 2009 10:45 am) You just have to get someone to split the nachos with you.... Pizza: don't feel the need to finish it... three pieces is plenty.. Potato skins? No.. not worth it... lol... Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 12:50 pm) kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 1:01 pm) xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 1:44 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 12:08 pm) Funny enough, I eat little to none of the food we typically consider "bad for you," or high calorie, like pizza, restaurant/fast food, beer, nachos, potato or corn chips, etc. Spending less than $400 a month on food (including eating out and beverages) for a family of four, how could I possibly buy processed/prepared foods? But, alas, I still manage to take in the calories. I am not heavy, mind you, but I would be feeling pretty darn good if I lost 15-20#.

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 12:50 pm) I might have left out the part about exercise... At 50 yrs old, the amount of calories needed to maintain my weight, given my sedentary lifestyle is infinitesimally small... I started walking to the school and back from my house.. It's 2.3 miles roundtrip, and I knock it out in 34-37 minutes.. Since the first 3/10ths miles is pretty steep uphill, it is a decent workout... I try to get it in at least 3 days per week... I'd attribute a lot my weight loss to the exercise... Not necessarily the calories burned, but the consequent increase in metabolism... Again, I tried to do something that I could stick with... A lot of little things have made the difference... Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 1:44 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 14, 2009 1:01 pm) Yeah, that is likely my problem. My exercise regime has gone way down over the last 10 months. I have done little exercising at all. Walks with my son have stopped (my wife wants me to take both children and the dynamics of that during the winter months just drives me nuts), I opted not to participate in organized sports (broomball) last Fall due to a knee surgery and the cost of fuel without substituting any exercise, and my pick-up broomball games have been non-existent this winter even though it is a perfect winter for outdoor sports given the overall mild temperatures (save for the two weeks prior to this). I have really been doing little cardiovascular exercise. At 31, it sure is a bad time to start doing that... Good news, though, is that I decided to start playing organized broomball again. I have to take advantage of the relatively low fuel prices while they stick around!
