Once 240, now 127 for almost 6 years.  Made a point of not having seconds, and felt hungry an hour after eating, but damn my knees feel good!  :thumb:

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

It's especially hard on days when the (diabetic) Hubs brings home a Costco sized box of Oreos because he "thought the kids might like one", I wanna reach for my Sig Sauer. :thewife:  I think shooting cookies would be more fun than eating them. :wink:

I thought you may be reaching for the Sig to use on the husband for bringing home the cookies???!!!  :laugh:  I was 229lbs, now Im 207 with 185 my goal.  Want to be 185 by my bike trip through Alaska which is next June, so I have about 6 months to lose 22lbs...

It took me a year to lose the last 20 or so, because I wasn't carrying around extra pounds to burn calories.  I'll assume by your name your a guy, and with your extra muscle mass they should come off much faster.  The trick is maintenance, you will NEVER be able to eat like you did when heavy.  Once you get to where you want to be, don't relax your "diet" habits, they are for life.

Great idea! I've never thought of the pleasure I'd get from blowing up that kind of stuff.  :smiley:
Note to self. Make some kind of rack that holds Oreos..

Famous words from my wife...and the four hardest words to follow...As we all get older, good wisdom and advice to follow:

"Eat Less...and Exercise More!"   :thumb: :cool: :1:

My variation, "Eat less, play more!".  Exercise has always seemed a chore, whilst the ride/hike/anything outside w/kids is a fun way to fit in physical movement.  Your wife is indeed a wise woman.

Hiking is by far the best and most fun exercise there is! :1: :thumb: :cool: 

Over the last 4-day Thanksgiving weekend, we hiked over 12.6 miles!

We've got a Ritz cracker thrower that's great fun at family gatherings.

It's like a small clay thrower but (believe it or not) it'll throw a Ritz cracker 40 yards, and if you hit it with a .410 with #8 shot, it'll dust it.

I'll bet it would work with Oreos too.
