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!

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 14, 2009 9:14 am) If you want to drag the weigh-in out a few months, I'll be happy to keep a close eye on the swag. Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 15, 2009 12:23 pm)
#30830 of 31352 I didn't say anything about delaying the weigh-in.... by volkov Jan 14, 2009 (2:30 pm)
... he said in his least self serving tone. I was just thinking that it would be good to keep this up. Mutual support groups like this have been shown to help with diet, exercise or even smoking cessation. Helps too if we have repeated weigh in days. Otherwise it becomes an issue of "I'll start cutting back next month." Repeated assessments maintain the short term motivation.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 15, 2009 9:14 am) Are you sure I'm the winner? Seems like I'm backdooring this one and finished 2nd at best. Also, please clarify what you said in your e-mail about needing proceesing fees and duties for the prizes to be wired to your bank account in Nigeria...

#30836 of 31352 yeah it's cold by ladywclass Jan 16, 2009 (12:02 pm)
this is what's heading to the east coast ... so far this month we've had 23 inches of snowfall and more is predicted for tomorrow ... considering it didn't start snowing until the 2nd week of January ... yesterday the low temp was -15 with wind chills in the -30 to -35 range ... early this morning we hit -19 officially .. in outlying areas it was even colder ... I love having a snug house and central heat ! - oh yeah .. and the Outback ... yesterday we all took turns with it to do the essential appointments ...
