Yep.  Either shed the lbs or I have to leave Joel's present at the North Pole.   :P

New regulations limiting the allowable weight hauled by the Reindeer's Union.  :-\
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

To the IZ:  Kettlebells are awesome.  And uncommonly expensive to have shipped to HI.

Current me:  I've lost a LOT of strength and muscle in the last 3 months or so since I stopped going to the gym regularly.  But I'm getting faster on the bike!

To use Obsessed #s, I am
168 lbs
62 pushups
98 situps (the most points i can get is at 98, so why do more?)
11:10 1.5 mile. 
maybe 6 full overhand pullups.

Goal:
175-180 lbs
75 pushups
sub-10 min 1.5 mile
20 continuous real pullups
and able to swim 1.5 k then get on a bike, then run.  right now, when i get into a pool and kick, i go slooooooowly backwards  :P 

It ain't pretty.

I'm not sure what I weigh.

I'd like to get under 190.

I'm also going to ride a Century around Tahoe in early June of next year.

Just got back from a brief ride on the roadie.  [thumbsup]

That's all ankle flexibility. I have never been able to move forward on a kickboard.  [roll]  You can just drag em behind you. They'll be fresher for the bike and run.  [thumbsup]

You're right.

Pick up Paula's dirtbike with her on it (300 or so pounds).

My goal is to survive this. :P

goal:  sixpack by DIMBY.

done so far:   215 lbs to 170  (with a blip back to 190 post hernia surgery... then back to 170).   42 minute 5 mile run in October....no need to ever go faster for me.

It's still buy a flounder a drink month

That's a lot of work.
It would take me at least two weeks to get back a six pack, maybe next month.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

My body naturally wants to stay in halfway decent shape even dropping my appetite when my metabolism slowed. I should take advantage of but instead end up liking that I can sit around and not get fat just a little soft.

That is a battle I have absolutely no interest in winning.

I'm happy each spring if my leathers zip.  ;)

Recently lost 15 lbs. Now looking to lose another 10 to get to 115-120 but I seem to have plateaued. I've thought about trying P90X, anyone done it?

The SO might get in on this as well but he'd have to give up gas station food.
