livendive 8 #76 February 1, 2007 Quote Bring it on, big boy! Apparently you don't know me as well as you thought you did! I'm pretty sure I'm the fattest guy to post pictures thus far. Edit to add: No, I wasn't sticking my belly out...I wasn't even completely relaxed. Also, for posterity's sake, I gotta say that jean manufacturers must lie. I'm showing 38 on the waist and 42 at the belly button. I have to wear a belt to hold my one pair of 36" pants up and most of my 34" pants. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

FlyingJ 0 #88 February 1, 2007 QuoteI'm pretty sure I'm the fattest guy to post pictures thus far. I might be able to give you a run for your money there. Sent these in last night and thought I attached them when I posted, but I guess I didn't. Here goes it...starting out at about 215. I was holding strong around 200 for the last couple years, but packed the extra 15 on since I moved to Texas and have been eating Tex Mex and drinking Shiner non-stop! This is 5lbs short of my all time high. From 220 in college I decided I was tired of it and started running and eating better and got down to 160. Found out I loved running, but unfortunately over did it and took a huge toll on my knees. Gonna' have to find a way to get the cardio impact from running without actually doing it! Anyone ever hear of a program for aerobic ice cream eating? I'd be a champ!Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is 5lbs short of my all time high. I'm pretty much on the same page. I did several years fluctuaring between 195 and 205, then got up to my (then) all-time high of 217 (now beaten by half a pound). That was a few years ago, and I worked my way down to 185, before settling in the 200-205 range up until a few months ago. I think I would have to lose some muscle to get down to 160. Even 175 would be pretty damned difficult. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingJ 0 #92 February 1, 2007 QuoteI think I would have to lose some muscle to get down to 160. Even 175 would be pretty damned difficult. That was pretty much my case. I was running, using a NordicTrac ski machine and playing tons of raquetball, no strength training. I lost the piles of weight and eventually when my knees started complaining got more into a well rounded workout and started putting muscle weight back on. Then I moved to NYC and started putting on pizza weight and it all went downhill from there. I've always been very active, it's just a matter of focusing my activity to areas that will help burn off some pounds!Killing threads since 2004.

mnealtx 0 #93 February 1, 2007 I graduated HS at 165... fluctuated around 180-185 while in the service, then started gaining after I got out. Was 245 in Aug 92 and have been within the 225-240 range since then. The last couple years I've made a halfhearted attempt to watch my diet since learning I have high cholesterol - that's what got me started on controlling my carbs. I'm taking this opportunity to get my diet FIRMLY back under control and get back into better shape. I know I'll probably never get back down below 180 without serious gym time that I just can't do because of work and gym limitations, but I can at least get better than I am - I'll be well-pleased if I can get down to 180-185.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

I started doing that in my last year of colege and never looked back... I've always had joint issues so I knew what I was getting into when I started running, but it was such a good feeling, especially once the pounds started just dropping off that I kept it up for much longer than I should have. I started my working out at the end of my junior year and hit it hard all summer, so when people started coming back into town and commenting on how much weight I had lost it didn't matter how much my knees hurt, I felt like I had to keep going. I've gotten over that now. No pain no gain...to a certain degree, but now I know the limits! Quoteif you start using an indoor rower you will want someone to give you pointers on technique. (cause there are a lot of people that don't do it right.) I don't think I'll be going out to buy anything new, but I do have an elliptical runner thing - actually the cheapest version of "Tony Little's Gazelle" that I picked up a while back for really cheap. It offers a very low impact "run" so hopefully I can just get myself into a regular schedule with that.Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
