Damn, I am starting to act like my wife. LOL...she taught me how to read those labels. Don't trust the marketing....trust the nutrition label only!

Great info on some alternatives to what I have been doing. I can tell you that the one thing I did find out pretty quick is the Mio's come in a few different types and the Energy Mio has caffeine in it that would almost make me dizzy. Had to stop using those.
My wife eats the Yoplait yougurts but I didn't like the strong tangy taste of the yogurts she was getting so I tried some and when I found the Fruit Fusion which actually has chunks of fruit in them I liked the taste better than others. My next step is to just by Greek yogurt and take my fruit and mix my own.

I am starting back tomorrow with the cardio. I was hitting it pretty hard last summer but stopped due to some other issues... My weakness is the beer. I am not an alcoholic, I can go without. I just enjoy beer. Ive been eating better as of the last few weeks, but I need to incorporate exercise. I want to loose 30 by my birthday in July.

I just enjoy beer. Ive been eating better as of the last few weeks, but I need to incorporate exercise. I want to loose 30 by my birthday in July. You can do it, bro......if I can do it, anybody can that sets their mind to it. My exercise has increased a whole lot. Since I've lost some weight, my knees feel so much better. I've had to increase the amount of time I'm exercising to continue to lose the weight. I'm going 4 miles each time out, so I'm getting cardio for approx 20 miles/week. Feeling so good but not losing much this week. Tomorrow is report day. We'll see how it turns out. Unfortunately, this is the first week I've touched my lips to chocolate, all because of Valentines Day haha! I'm hoping to at least have a favorable number, and that's at least one pound lost........beer is good, Pintail, but only in moderation. Just do it, bro.....But you gotta want it!

We run 3,4,5 miles...all paces, all types of folks. We then eat tacos and drink a beer afterwards. After that run, tacos, and a single beer...you will go home to sleep instead of drinking more! Come on out!!

WEEK 7 is history....It ain't much, but I had only 1 lb lost from last week. Weight today is 232. I'll take it. I'm 2 lbs away from my goal of 230......
Bring on WEEK 8!

Good job, Okie! Almost there! I had a hard week, 35 miles running and 55 miles on the bike. When I get near 100 miles in a week...I know I done something!

Started on the 14th and now on the 24th it has been 10 days. Feeling good and after starting at 193 this morning I hit 189 so the first time under 190 in I can't remember when. Felt really good at my last fishing tournament a couple of weekends back but I am really looking forward to my next two tournaments coming up in a couple of weeks just because I know for me even something as 4 lbs really makes a difference and if I can loose another pound or two by then I can't imagine how great it will be. I think after this first few months I am hoping I really get even more motivated to really working out more so that I really get results even though I have no urge to become any body builder. Just want to feel healthier. I want to still be fishing and hanging with family and grandkids well into my 70's and beyond.

I want to still be fishing and hanging with family and grandkids well into my 70's and beyond. Yup, you got that right! Having a kid and nearing the 40 year mark, made me change my lifestyle! I hang out with some older guys, 60-70 age group. They ride bikes, are in great shape and you can tell they enjoy life (better than other people their age stuck in hospitals.)

That's alright, just use that as motivation for this week!
I'm still chipping away at it, still in the 220's but I'm at the least I've weighed since last fall. My body has gotten great at holding onto things I eat, and taking a straight a** whipping before my HR gets up enough to start sweating. Looking in the mirror last night, I think I'm starting to see a difference, noticed some loose belly skin so I think it's coming around.
I'm going on a guys weekend camping trip next Friday, so I'm going to have to work my rear off this week to cover it.

Thanks, Brian...that is the plan. I will make up for lost time this week, guaranteed. Motivated, energized, dedicated, just not highly sophisticated. Gonna be a good weight on Sunday! Work hard this week, Brian, so you can do a few more twelve ounce curls when the time is right. Good Luck!

You keep this up and you'll still be fishing tournaments into your 90's. I'm almost to my desired weight loss goal, and I'm looking forward to re-evaluating to determine where I'm going next.

Well, I thought I was going to wake up in the sub 220 weight class this morning. Hit 221 on the nose. I might've been, but I don't remember being this thin when I rode the Hotter'n Hell last Sept. I weighed 5 lbs less then but now my ring will slide right off my finger, which is a crazy thought that I'm thinner now than when we got married 5 or 6 years ago, as I think that time frame as one of my fittest.
Going to try an pick it back up Monday and keep it going full throttle.
