Keep up the good work LKS!!! I gained a couple of pounds over the holiday but am still in my comfort zone.

Congrats on the good work LKS! I have not hada the balls to jump on the scale myself although I have been to the gym a couple of times since the holiday.

athomedad, love the berkshires. My kids and i go hiking there with our boy scout troop occasionally.

That's real progress LKS, keep it up, give yourself a present for Christmas

I'd give my self a present, but my wife won't let me hire a stripper

Now to just keep going with the weight loss. I've been pretty good about exercise and snacks.

Went running yesterday (today it was 19 degrees - too cold for me with the gear I have) and have had a bad cough since. Figures.

Anytime you use the words "wife" and "stripper" in the same thought, it doesn't work.

Damn cold here today, too, probably won't get over 55. Heh heh heh.

I know, ******* Californians. What the heck, the money we save on heating costs is more than offset by the ridiculous cost of a house.

You are so right about wife/stripper incompatibilities. Life's a b*tch, ya know?

Been warmer here, but I got a freakin' cold last week and am just now getting over it. Will try to start running again tomorrow morning.

House's are expensive there, eh? My mortgage payment in cheap ol' Kansas is $316/month.

316 a Month!!! My car payment is higher than that!! Damn!!!!! How long have you had that for?

For about 5 years. We handle our own insurance and tax payments. We got ripped off (or it felt like it) many years ago with the mortgage escrow for that stuff, so we always do it on our own.

Awesome! We refinanced for the third time a couple of years ago and have 12 years left on ours at a good rate.

Now, back to dieting for a moment. trying a healthy lunch today off the Men's Health website of advocato (sp) and tuna (no mayo). Let's see how that turns out.

Tuna with no mayo! That's just wrong John!
All kiding aside, I just cut way down on soda and junk food and have lost 25 lbs. over the past 2 years. I used to be 205 now try to stay between 175 and 180. I feel much better, have more energy and now into 34 waist, maybe 33 pretty soon!

I just went back to the first page of this forum and realized that I've just about repeated myself except for the first 2 lines sorry guys senoir moment at age 45. LOL

yes athomedad, you are having a senior moment, you old f*rt

Thanks John. Have fun on your camping trip!

Doesn't hurt to repeat stuff. If you do it on purpose, it's called marketing.

I guess you're right LKS but my senior moment continuued yesterday. I totally forgot to take my 5 year old daughter to a birthday party!
