My wife has some medical problems that forced her to cut down and it's a lot easier if both of us diet and exersize. I have only been watching what I eat by sticking to low/non fat foods, no more munchies at night, stay away from candy dishes at work, etc. I've lost 11 pounds, down from 222. I figure that was pretty good considering it was over Thanksgiving and Christmas.
A couple of weeks ago I started some resistanse training. Nothing more than an old Bull Worker I had laying around but at least it's something. I'm not much for going to the gym...too boring. Shoveling snow, moving & splitting firewood, etc works better for me.
I'm hoping by Spring I'll be in the 180's and it will be like I added 10 hp to my bike!! :)

I like the water suggestion.. I've heard that if you drink a large glass of water before each meal, you tend to eat less. I also agree with the NOT eating after 6pm rule. Our bodies are usually less active in the evenings so there isn't a chance to burn those extra calories so not eating after 6 is a great solution. I am a true believer of eating breakfast, a hot lunch and a smaller dinner (sandwich, salad, etc.) This is how they do it in Europe and they seem to have less of a weight problem than we do here in the U.S.Bandit9 said:All my weight loss is due to a new eating schedule. Really simple. First, I starting eating a biscuit or two every morning for breakfast. I never used to eat breakfast. But it is real important to get your metabolism going. Second, I stopped eating anything after 6pm. I used to drink 5 cokes a day. I have cut that back to 2 a day. Drinking lots of water. 1/2 gallon during the winter and 1 gal + during the summer. I rode a lot of miles. Very intense riding for like 50-80 miles at least 3 weekends out of the month for the whole year. Just one good intense workout a week riding my dirt bike and a smarter approach to eating has done the trick for me. 25lbs in a year without doing hardly anything different. Hope this helps someone.
