Congrats!!!

Oh, Oh a diet thread......

Started Jan 1st (New Years Resolution)

Down 19 LBS......

For me it's a Slimfast in the morning, healthy but filling lunch, a few healthy snacks (popcorn, fruit, etc.) and a bowl of low carb cereal with fat free milk at night and 1/2 hour on the Nordictrac.

Im at 230 now, not stopping till I hit 180....

edit: Oh and Trimspa

I'm doing the slimfast thing also. bar for breakfast, normal lunch, a snack, and a bar for dinner. I'm hungry as fuck all the time, but I've lost 32 in about a year and a half. Slow, but it's coming off with no exercise.

Yeah, exercise is the only way. No atkins or diets for me.

I'd rather eat & exercise than starve myself ...I'm a great cook & like to eat too much to really diet.

Not totally true. Reducing the amount of calories you eat reduces your weight.

I think the Nordictrac is the best bang for the money. Mine was under $600 and it's a heavy-duty POS. I use the VGR Eliptical. Works pretty good, although I prefer my old Skier. The skier made for a better upper body work-out, but was not so easy on the back.

They have plenty of material with our type of humor. Show is sick.

Speaking of that, where's Phil2?

Isn't cardio great? I lost 50 pounds in 3 months, then gained back 10 in muscle.

I love to eat also, but in an odd sort of way, the diet has helped me to appreciate the foods I ate all the time. Now I'll actually look forward to having an occasional soda, or a nice Italian meal. Before my diet, I would have it any time I wanted, but now it tastes better.

Try buying some good sneaks. I had the same problem, bought some good NB and they're fine. Old sneaks were giving me knee pain too, went away with the new shoes.

Same here actually, I just cut back a bit...not as many sweets. Made changes I can continue with. Drink less mixed drinks when I'm out, stick to Cranberry & Tonic mostly.

Cut back on Sicilian pizza too...that one is hurting me though...

Same boat again! It's hard to find wide shoes...especially sneaks.

I found mine in a DSW in Newark...they list the width right on the sides of the box, pretty easy to pick the wide ones out.

Nike is great for narrow feet. Thats what I wear. I'm so happy the make cycling shoes now. NB is great if you have knee problems.

Yeah, but you got me beat by 30 LBS total.......

Edit: going down now to do my 30 minutes. Afterwards I play GTA San Andreas for a bit. I come back upstairs all sweaty and cussing like a thug. My wife is not impressed...Be back soon.

I've got wide feet, I wear Nike Shox Ride. They fit really well, and are the best running shoes I've ever worn. Especially on machines like an elliptical or nordic track, the air in the front makes a huge difference.

And holy shit...$60 at finishline.com. I paid $130 a month ago
