Say goodbye to beer. No, seriously. That is one evil beverage. Too bad it tastes so good.

Yea, no joke, too bad I'm on a high calorie high protein diet; I'm 6' and only weigh 130 on a good day, beer is my friend. LOL :drink:
EDIT: Also I should mention I have a genetic disorder affecting my respiritory, digestive, and immune systems known as cystic fibrosis.

you guys make me feel like a midget. I'm 5'8" and 160lbs. I've been that way since I was 14 (almost 7 years!) and I haven't gained or droped weight since then. I do run a little and lift stuff at work but that's about it. I guess I'm just lucky.

I worked in Auto shops for five years after high school. I was at a constant 220 lbs. standing 5'9". I now have a desk job where I don't do but look at a computer screen for about 8 to 10 hours a day. In 3 years I have gone from 220 to 305. Wanna talk about felling like .

I know some of this is my fault for not getting off my lazy ass on the weekends but the strees from my job just drains me.

Just don't do what I did...

I decided I was being too lazy so I went back to gymnastics. The next week it's nice out for a day so I took my motorcycle out. Cold tires and sand in a turn cause me to crash the bike and mangle my knee. Knee starts to get better and I go back to gymnastics. Finally after 3 weeks I see a dr. and find out that my leg is broken, I may have torn some ligaments (should find out this week) and may need surgery.

So now I'm just stuck with a lot of pain and practically no options for excercise. Still no cast or anything but I may go argue they do something so I stop using my leg and give the thing a chance to heal. I don't know what I did but I really pissed it off within the past 2 days.

I weighed 130-135 lbs since about 7th grade. Back then I was one of the taller and bigger kids. That was also about the time I stopped growing...lol When I finished high school I weighed 130 lbs. When I finished Marine Corps boot camp I weighed 130 lbs. 6 years after I got out of the Marine Corps I weighed 135 lbs. One month after I quit smoking I started gaining weight slowly. Now several years later I find myself at 170 lbs and barely have the energy to get out of bed.

I like the idea of having a thread for those enterested in group weight loss motivation. I have been planning for months to get back into my exercise routine but always find an excuse to put it off another day. I owe it to myself and all the women I bring home on the weekends to get my body back into shape.

I plan to start my exercise routine as soon as my mother leaves on monday evening from her 2 week visit here. And that will be my last excuse for putting it off.

Interesting that the support forum for the arthritic disease I have is also starting to discuss the possibility of group weight-loss motivational-type stuff at the same time you guys are. :p

In 1993 I was 156 lbs. (5' 9", think I've shrunk half an inch since then, too.. heh) Living with an Irish chick with a stereotypical Irish diet for a year and a half got me up to 211 lbs by mid-'95. More or less hovered there for a few years. Got sort of wrongly prescribed Paxil by my doctor at the time, and that put another 10-15 lbs. on me. Didn't stay on that stuff too long, maybe 6 months. Had a bout of really heavy drinking right after the hurricane in '04, that put the rest of the weight on me. Went from 156 to 240 within ten years.

Just gave up beer (probably for good, have an ulcer to deal with) last month and gave up soda a couple weeks ago, and I've already dropped 5 lbs. Chewed out the other members of the household last night to try to get the grocery shopping habits to improve, since being unemployed right now I can't just go get my own. They've been spending the same money for four people to eat that we used to spend for two people to eat, and at least half that was junk food. (my eating choices lately have often been wonderful choices like Doritos vs. ramen noodles, and the ramen noodles aggravate my ulcer) They supplemented the rest by often weekly visits to all of the above: Wendy's, Taco Bell, the local Chinese take-out place, and 1-2 deliveries a week from Hungry Howie's. Needless to say, it's been almost possible for me to lose weight on the dietary end up until my little tirade last night, which found me waking up today to a kitchen full of real food again. We'll probably pick up a second cheap fridge so those of us who want to diet can separate the real food from all the junk food bought by the one infernal member of the household who can eat near anything and still stay thin.

The exercise end is complicated. Everything begins and ends with the arthritic spinal disease. I won't get into all of it, but suffice to say even if I didn't have this extra weight to deal with, it would still be difficult to stick to exercising. (I could be 156 again and I would still be in significant pain for hours a day for 2-3 months in a row, for the average flareup.. the weight just makes it that much harder to deal with) I think it's best for me to start on the diet end and with light exercise. We'll see how things go this coming week.

Well, today, Super Bowl Sunday, is my last day eating like a pig. Tomorrow, it's fiber in the morning, slimfast at lunch, and something healthy for dinner. Rinse, repeat. I'll keep this up until I've lost enough to feel comfortable in my own skin. I'm sure I'll have the ocassionaly treat, cause I'm still a sucker for mexican, but I'm determined ot stick to it. Doctor told me Friday that if I kept gaining weight, I'd likely be dead before 50. 350 at 17, not good, not good at all. Edit weighed in this morning at 344.

yah. i wouldn't be bad to add a section for weightloss posts. would give us a place to vent and admit our lapses. and also a place to post our progess and encourage each others good behavior.

crystal, good luck with that. knee's can be a life long thing, so take good care of it, and let it heal.
