The couch potato get fit thread

[KnightofNi]

It was, I started out at 198...

I think his 24lb. goal is 185?

We had a little side bet going... 

Still, you blew our doors off with your accomplishment! 

i'm hoping to get some muscle mass to get me back over 200. if i top off around 220 of muscle i'll be fine with that. don't want to be too scrawny again.
i fought at 180-190. i was right in the middle of that at 185ish. all leg muscle and no upper body too, lol

thanks for the kudos btw. i think i had a lot more to lose as well.

I'm at 185lbs ....

Knight .. wao!! can't say anything else ...

BTW Randy, it was 14lbs having as a base what I thought my weight of 195lbs but first weight in showed 200lbs so 'technically' i've reach my goal ... will try to get the 180lbs ....

Also, right now in Miami, having lotsa trouble not eating all this delicious cuban food, specially pork ...

AJ,

I'm there and hanging on to it dearly .... Here with family, it's hard to keep it there ...

With meals cubans eat like this: rice, beans, yuca or potatoe or malanga or any other starchy food, the meat portion either beef or pork[both delicious] a little salad and then dessert and coffee this is lunch, dinner, repeat above ... How can one keep weigth down here ?!

Don't worry I make cubano sammich in Panama all the time ... I'm half cuban !

My wife has decided to loose a few more pounds.  A good thing.  After cancer treatment she put on a few which is understandable.  The thing is, this also means I'm on a diet because I eat what she eats.  She makes good healthy meals.  Lots of fresh veggies.  This morning I was 175 lbs. That's the least I've been since the early 70s.  Friends, I'm fading away.  If I don't post for a while; please, someone check to see if I'm still around.  Thanks!  I think I'll go get a doughnut now just to keep up my strength.

Will derby with photo later .... !!!!

I see some new parts for Gina coming this way !!!

Edit, as promised, pics, and sorry for quality ... it seems that all pics I took while in Miami came out like this, my stepson moved something in the camera and shots closer than 5ft came blurred

I'm completely out of any competition with anyone or myself after this past week with my family and tonight's dinner.

  and    





Although I did have several pair of pants taken in.  Must be the running/walking.  That has to count for something!  

[DarkMonster620]

Don't worry Stella,  I think I've been actually weighting myself after breakfast or lunch always ... But somehow, I'm still a 'tight fit 34 waist' ... 36 too loose !!!

[Stella]

My belly right now, after a serious buttery meal, looks like it's holding an 18 lb baby.




As soon as my legs are able and my wine glass is empty, I'm going to waddle down the road w/the dawg and hopefully (?) the b/f.

[Buckethead]

Totally. Drained.

I think I figured out my perfect workout plan.

Go on THIS RIDE in an afternoon.

And then come home and do absolutely nothing until the next time the sun comes up.

Awesome Buddy!   

Yep... Looks like I owe you some gaskets. 

I'm stuck at 185...

I've found waddleing to be a totally underrated form of exercise, and hope that it catches on like one of those other fad workouts like P90x or the insanity workout.

I lost 14 pounds in February and have managed to keep it off despite my beer drinking and chip eating ways. Walking the dog helps. I also gave up wheat and sugar.
