Title: 40#s Less
Post by: Jay on July 01, 2011, 08:58:10 PM

Last year in Kansas at 213.

Just had my yearly physical, and blew the doc away. All my health issues are totally under control except the top part of my blood pressure is still a bit high. Lost some muscle with the fat, so need to get back to the gym, and cut the cardio down and hit the weights. After seeing my Kasnsas picture last year, I realized at 63 that I wouldn't be Turkey hunting much longer if I didn't get serious about getting in shape.

I'm still on my meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholestrol, but it would be nice to get off em some day. Good job on your diet plan, and hope you keep it up. I just don't have the urge to eat anymore, much less eat that much when I do eat, so can't see putting the weight back on ever.

That sure took a lot of work Jay, Proud of the boss man!!!  Don't under estimate the improvements form just push ups and pull ups.  Looks like you're ready for P90X.

Congratulations!  I went after dropping the pounds in Fall 2010.  I'm down from 285 to 205 now.  It is amazing the difference in how I feel.  The hills aren't quite as tall and the walks not quite as far anymore.  It has made a big difference in my endurance and just how I feel at the the end of the day.

:icon_thumright: Fasntastic. Surprisingly, carrying 213 and at 63 years old,  I was getting around in the woods pretty well because I kept my legs in good shape, but defintely noticed the improvement this year. Steep hills still are a strain especially when I'm packen a heavy load.  ;D Us flatlanders just don't like hills.

Congrats Jay! 


How did you do it? 
Step 1. 3 months prior to hunting season worked at the gym on strictly bicyling. 213-191.
Step 2. Hunting season 191-181. Lot of exersize without much calorie intake.
Step 3. Had my teeth yanked, and still having problems getting them adjusted to hard food. 181-171. During all of this have cut my appetite down to zip. I seldom am hungry, and don't really eat that much. Yesterday boating most of the day, when I'd usually be starving, had 2 pieces of Fried chicken, and a bbq pork sandwich. That use to be one meal for me with 2 other meals eaten during the day, along with snacks.

Great Job Jay, in the last 2 years or so I have gone from 215-220 down to 196, first time in over 10 years I have been under 200, I am shooting for below 190 asap, not sure if I am going to get there though last time I was under 190 I was  a swimmer in college
