Here's my data from yesterday's walks. Also I just got back from a walk to Kwik Trip. Brought back a gallon and of milk, 2 dozen eggs and a bag of hash browns. I've slowed down a lot since the knee replacement.   |

My PR for 10 miles was 53 something. In my first marathon I hit the 20 mile mark in under 2hrs. There was a time when could click off 6 minute miles with ease.... it's race pace now. You were faster than me in my finest days! That's not saying a lot though. I struggled to hold 7 min for 7 miles. But, I was swimmer really. Now I'm a sitter, and a walker. I need a more streamlined suit probably.  That's a nice look Kooch! 7's for 7 is good. Nothing wrong with that at all. I worked really hard at swimming when I was doing tri's. Never was worth a damn at it. You swim competitive? |

Catscratch - Did I swim competitive? Yeah, not very well. In my sophmore year of HS I got cut from the baseball team because I sucked. I was already also on the Water Polo team. The coach had a rule, if you wanted to play Varsity Water Polo, and you were not on another sport team, you had to swim. So I did. I played Water Polo for a couple years of JUCO, until I realized all the guys that were going to four year schools were six inches taller, 50 pounds heavier, 20% faster..... Off to the USAF I went... A bunch of shit happened... And here I sit.

Come on gents you guys can do it, since May 1 last year I've got from 247.5 to 184.5. It's really not that difficult, I didn't stop eating anything, I didn't do fad diets or any of that unrealistic city slicker junk.
My pant size went from 40-42 waist to now 32 and I could prolly wear 30 with a relaxed style.

Kooch, congrats on the USAF duty! Of everything talked about I view that as the most significant and important. I can only imagine what "A bunch of shit happened" means.
Buckvelvet, losing that much wt is something 99% of the population won't do. I suspect you have a lot of willpower... and probably feel much better than before!

Catscratch, you don't have to be hard headed to lose weight, just have to give yourself the opportunity to not sabotage your own efforts.
Chummer, being 100% transparent this is to the T, what I did and still to this day do. You have to eat less calories (overall) to lose weight, I mean that is just math & science.
I put a free app on my phone called 'lose it' you put in your current weight and your goal weight, I set mine to lose on average 2# a week (sometimes it was more sometimes it was less). I log most of the stuff I eat, I'm like everyone else sometimes I skip logging a meal or 6....
I started doing some jogging in June after I used the whole month of May to get my eating right. I downloaded another free app called 'runkeeper' it communicates with 'Lose it" that added calories to your day based on your exercise efforts. I didn't and don't jog everyday, sometimes My body hurt so I walked. It's all about improving you, right, so you do what's best for you everyday.
It's not tough stuff, it's just mind over matter. Do I feel better now? Well I mean yeah, do I have a beach body? Hell no, i'm 5'10 I still have a gut cuz that's were ALL my weight is. I'm not a body builder I don't give 2 shits about walking on a beach with my shirt off, I'm married with 3 kids, I don't have time to walk on a beach.
My outlook is this, we're all getting closer to death every day, what I'm doing just makes my life a littler brighter.
I work in in an office, my job is sitting, so that doesn't help either but I've made the right choices, all of us can do that. However, last November when I started seeing all my customers I normally do, more than half asked If I was sick. LOL, damn was I that big?
