Illo, You sure it wasn't a few good reads in bed with a box of Twinkies on the night-stand? Fess up!  Love, Buddy

You guys keep at it! As I grow older I'm finally realizing  we are what we eat. Only down side is seeing the grocery bill go sky-high buying the healthy stuff and asking did you buy any food 2 days later.    Buddy

Man, you ain't kiddin' Budster.

Buddy, much as I love eating Twinkies, reading, and being in bed, it was the drugs!! I was warned that they would increase my appetite, and man did they! They gave me insomnia, which means I could eat 24/7!! LOL!!!

Illo, I've heard of prednesone - my brother-in-law has to go on it at least once a year, it seems.  He always gains weight from it, too.  Damn, I haven't had a Twinkie in a long time - I use to chill them in the fridge for a couple of hours, then dunk them in milk!

Oh yeah, I was so gung-ho to start treadmill training this week, I should'ave known something would mess that up - My damn back is killing me as of yesterday & today, so I've postponed my workout till tomorrow - just planning on grinding through the pain ...

Careful UP, Considering all you've been  thru with your back, maybe you better get it checked out before straining it any further.

[Dr. Madd]

UP: They're right.. Have your back checked. The spine's nothing to play around with.

As for me, I see a slight roundness as a thank-you note to God for his bounty. Too thin is pride and vanity, and too fat is gluttony.

[bigbud]

Too thin is pride and vanity, and too fat is gluttony.

And too tall is just right for serious ape slapping! Scatter-types beware!  Love, Buddy

Yes, you guys are right!  I'm gonna get it checked out again before I blow out another disc or something.  I've had 2 discs removed (the first in 1987) and have permanent nerve damage as the result of them herniating - one just partially - the surgeons explained to me that one disc was in danger of literally exploding, which they said, because of the location (thoracic region), would probably have made me a paraplegic - hence, the decision to have it excised!  So, yeah, I'm definitely not indestructible ! 

Thanks for getting me back on track, my friends.  I'm calling radiology right now!

Bigbud, before I had my surgeries, I was your height - hee hee, just kidding!

To quote The Lone Ranger speaking to Silver..........."Easy, steady big fella." Don't want to set yourself back.

As for Twinkies, I believe there is a Commie conspiracy to keep me fat. I was in WallyWorld with the beautiful and gracious Nancy yesterday, and what do you think the shopper behind us threw on the conveyor belt?? CHOCOLATE CREAM-FILLED FREAKING TWINKIES!! 

It ain't fair I tell ya.

WallyWorld is keeping your WALLET thin anyways.

February 2008 I weighed 293 lbs.  I'm somewhere between 6'4" and 6'5"------but it wasn't a GOOD 293.  With some tweaks to exercise and diet, I got down to 240 (but have crept back up a little to the 250 range)... I would love to get down to the 205 range-----but would like to get at least below 220.  I am lighter now than when I got married and my next plateau is to be lighter than when I 1st met my wife... and so on.

My body just can't handle the extra weight (knees/ back/ feet/ etc.)  My weight at my optimal physical condition was 218 1/2 lbs.  I'm not as muscular now, so 205 seems like my ultimate target weight-wise now at age 43.

I'm officially signed up to the 'Scatter the Pounds' program.

Yeah.  Now I'm 44.  And I'm in the 260-range.  I've had it.  I'm no 20-something anymore that could just tweak my routine and drop weight.  This requires NOT a *trick* to drop pounds... but a LIFESTYLE change.  I'm on it.  I won't mention it again here until my 45th birthday. Let's see what I'm doing with myself in 4 months. I have 2 daughters, aged 7 and 3.  I look at them and wonder what kind of man I am that I would compromise our future together because I have poor health habits.  I think it's finally sunk in.  I think I finally understand that the fitness and health game I must master is not the one I played when I was 26.  Here we go.  It's on.

[Unknown Primate]

GO FOR IT, SEAN!

[Scatter]

I'm still plugging away, though the Holidays haven't helped LOL!! Keep hovering between 20 and 25 pounds lost, and have plateaued. Doing some tweaking now that the new year is here to see if I can break through it. I AIN'T QUIT YET DAMMIT!!

Had a huge Mexican dinner last night then stopped off and bought 6 chocolate eclairs to snack on late. It's noon of the next day and I'm still full.  The wife and I walked the yard acouple of days ago.......around the perimeter. We have 5 acres so that was a decent walk, I think.  Just need to do it daily......Buddy
