![]() It is with a great deal of pleasure that I tell you that on this morning, May 15, 2007, my bathroom scale has noted that I weigh 198 pounds. I am below 200 for the first time in longer than I can remember, and down from around 260 only two years ago. I'm going to celebrate later... but not at a pastry shop.
![]() It's amazing what one can accomplish with the right inspiration. ![]() |

![]() Awesome!! Congrats on your hard work!
Not trying to steal your glory but rather just be on topic, I've done kind of the same thing as well but on a smaller scale. I recently have gone from 130 to 115 and have noticed all the difference. It's a great feeling, isn't it? Hehe I'll admit the truth... my inspiration to get healthier came from Wilt!

![]() Nice to see that I'm not the only one who finds his/her favorite character to be that inspiring. Granted, saying "You know, Frankie might like you more if you lost some weight" isn't going to motivate most people to drop 60+ pounds, but it worked for me.
![]() The actual method I use is pretty simple; consume fewer calories. That's it. It takes some planning and research, however. Breakfast cereal is a good example. The number of calories per serving varies wildly, from a low of 60 up to one brand that's about 230. But what constitutes a serving varies, too, anywhere from a quarter cup to a full cup. When you factor both together, it turns out that for a given amount, they're all about the same, at least for the brands I looked at. I ended up dropping cereal altogether. I switched to rye bread instead of wheat; the savings is only 10 calories per slice, but it does add up over time, and I like rye better anyway. It's the same story with a lot of products, be it pasta, canned soup, juice, fish, whatever; you may save only a few calories per serving, but over time it does add up. This is particularly important when your major form of exercise is posting on a message board. ![]() ![]() |
