Get in shape.......(Update)

I have a challenge for anyone who needs to shed a few or a lot of pounds!!!!

Most places we have less than 4 month til deer season opens, so this year I decided to get into better shape, plus I'm 45 now, needed to do it for my future health.

So the challenge is to lose some weight and get in better shape!!!!

I started May 4 and #236 I'm 6' 0"

Now today I'm down to 209 thats 27 pounds!!!! thats like 2 bowling balls!!! man thats hard to believe I was hauling around that much extra weight.

my goal is to get to #185....... or somewhere in that area. The wife and I started this together, so it makes it easier and also challenge and motivate each other

So nows the time to get it done!!!!

who's up for the challenge???

That's awesome Mark. I know you have been working hard. I am up for losing a few myself.

I need to drop 60 pounds to be in my target but I'd be happy to make it 40 by deer season so I'm in. YOu gonna lead this charge? Got the treadmill all ready to go and tomorrow is day one

Great job Mark. I am sure you can feel the difference in you activities. No pounds need to be shed here. I feel I need to gain a few, but I am up for staying fit.

I've been dieting for 2 1/2 months started at 290 now im 270. I as well need to think about my future health. At 49, i really need it, great post Mark. Awesome challenge. Good luck with your weight loss.

I'm up for losing a few pounds and I have just started so I will see where I get. Snivs you sure could gain a few pounds.

I'd be fine giving snivus a few of my pounds

How many you want

Yeah sorry Mark I am with Snivs on this one. Sounds like you are headed in the right direction so keep up the good work and good luck to everyone else you takes the challange.

So has anyone taken on the challenge???

Today I broke the #200 pounds.......I'm now 199!!!!! I haven't been there since like 1996???? probably

I'm doing sit up's and push up's, pull-up's........... man it feels great

whether it's playing outside with the kids, playing softball, or shooting my bow ..... I feel great

I'm gonna hang some stands pretty soon........so I'm sure climbing trees will be a whole lot easier come this fall!!!!

you know where only a little over 3 months before the start of deer season in most places!!!!

Way to go Mark. Stay on it.

Congrats Mark thats awesome. I haven't jumped on the scales to see where I'm at yet. A little scared I went on vacation and didn't do to much more than eat.

Im now at 260 since the first time mark posted this.

Watch out fellas, just went on a nice run/jog with the family. My son and I ran/jogged for about a mile. We would run about 100 yards then walk back to the girls then run back another 100 yards. The total distance if we wouldn't have walked back each time was a little over a mile so not quite sure how far with the walking it was, but it feels pretty good. We are going to do this atleast 3 times a week so I should be down to fighting weight befor to long Did the push up thing to. Little man smoked me.

Mark, I am with ya all the way But I don't really have to loose more lbs, now its about having a better life like you were getting at and using the fall is a great way to keep the motovation to work out I use that daily!

Since Jan. 1st I have lost about 40 lbs, have about another 20 or so to loose. For the last month I have not worked at it all, and have maintained what I have lost. For all of us that have a challege of weight loss congrats on the success, keep at it, and for the guys that have a racing motab. you guys suck..LOL just kidden mine is as slow as a DEAD SLUG. Good LUCK

Way to go Jack.... quite impressive. I know you've worked hard. I'm gonna have a hard time keeping up with you in the fall.

We will see Thanks for the encouragement!!

OK guys I challenged those who needed to lose a few pounds to get on board with me and lose some weight....... SO where we at???

I am now proud to say I'm done to 186 from 236!!! 50 pounds!!!!

plus I've been doing the push up challenge also!!!!

and this week here I started going to the gym and working out!!!

there's only about 1 1/2 months til deer season in most places, so it's still not too late to lose a few!!!!

Been cutting out the bast stuff and walking. Just added a weight vest to the plan this week. ONly 8 pounds in it right now but I can add up to 20 once I get to where I can handle more.

Just found out im type 2 diabetic. Its in the early stage. Dr said if i loose the weight i will not have to take meds. So i started out at 291 and today im at 265 and still loosing. I work out daily. and feel better than i've ever felt.

I weighed 288# on April 14th. Today I weigh 232#, thats a loss of 56#. I'm 6'2 and Dr's goal is 210 #. I walked for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evenings in addition to my 1200 cal/day diet. Last night I ran a mile and walked 3 more. My goal is to be able to run 3-5 mies by Christmas. I feel better than I have in years! I can't wait until OCT 1, bowseason opener!

That is awesome to all you guys that have lost wieght GOOD JOB
