Gary, it sounds so ........hard. On the other hand, I can't let Donny outdo me, I just can't. Ummm, better go google 'South Beach diet'. Look out Donny, I'm coming after you, baby.

Wait a minute. It just occurred to me. A third of Donny's posts are about pigging out with Fran over some decidedly unhealthy breakfast/lunch featuring such fare as chocolate chip pancakes smothered in strawberry syrup, etc. What's going on? Is he 'binging and purging'? Does it work? I can do that. Beats riding that stupid bike. I'll stick with the walking, though. That's an hour I don't have to listen to my wife describing her latest gardening challenge. Am I rambling? I hate even the thought of this dieting stuff. Buttered popcorn is good for the soul (especially while the Eagles are winning).

Chas..., I'm tellin ya man you'd be surprised how much weight you can lose just by simply watching your portion size, cut back on the snacking a tad, and simple exercises.

I know plenty of people who still eat the foods they love.., they just eat a reasonable meal. Do some light exercise and still lose weight.

I still eat all the foods I like, but eat within reason. I don't over indulge.., don't over snacke (which most people do just to fill space) and do a light 30 minute workout 5 days a week. My wife is dropping pounds simply by walking on our treadmill.

If you got the system..., that Wii Fit is AMAZING! Very surprising the workout you can get from that thing.

Chas the SBD definitly works I lost 100 lbs as Gary stated a few years ago.....I stayed in it religiously to the letter for a few years........although my biggest accomplishment & second hardest thing I ever did besides QUITING SMOKING 25 years ago COLD TURKEY & NEVER touched a cigarette to this day...but now due to my own fault I slipped back into some old habits and put back on some healthy weight.....the SBD taught me how to lose & how to eat healthy also. It's not easy, it deems very strict commitment, the balance of weight loss & happiness is a tightrope......don't listen to anyone's claims just do what makes you healthy & happy. All our bodies are different....you'll never be a runway model, but you can certainly achieve a comfortable weight & a happy life for sure regardless of what stupid society preaches.

Good Luck

My biggest enemy Chas.., the evil I fight with every day is COFFEE! There's a reason they call that stuff "liquid crack". Enough cups of that a day (with cream and sugar) can put up a block on weight loss. Try and cut back on coffee and you'll even detox doing it!

Be Careful ... remember what happened with the last guy that said "GET THE POPCORN READY!" ...

I average lots of miles on a bike a day....you, know, my Harley, Suzuki, Cushman, Kymco or kit bike. And I try to approach 100 miles per hour at least once every month.


Ya think that helps? I'm sure i'd lose a lot of weight if I fell off!


Russ

Yeah Russ.., it's easy to lose weight when your exercise program's end result is your limbs falling off

I've been doing weight watchers for the last year. I've lost 88lbs to date. I spend 90 minutes everyday in the pool. I'm about to start a dumbell regimen to compliment the pool.
