Here, here. I realized a couple of weeks ago I have a few winter pounds I need to lose; my pants were feeling snug and I hopped on the scale. Wow, it jumps on fast. I need to be more regular with my running and more careful with my choices. You guys are definitely motivating me, and I can't wait to see you all in person. |

Great seeing the successes at White Lake:
Greg and Kristen look GREAT! I was able to ski and foil without respiratory distress (major excitement) Donald is flying high on the weight loss bandwagon, too! While I was delicious food binging at the WL gathering on Saturday night, it was awesome to hear Greg encouraging me to try the salad and Donald absolutely FREAKING OUT as I applied butter to my salt potato. Well done friends, well done! We are going to be a better looking bunch that we already are (hard to imagine, I know!) |

Greg, great work and thanks for starting this topic and reminding us to get into shape!
While I haven't lost a lot of lbs, I lost inches around the waist. And without the workout, the last 2 days at WBC would have been brutal... Now only the sole on my feet are sore, not the rest of me! |

My 53 year old body is responding well to diet. I'm eating a lot and maintaining my too-high weight!
I'm starting to pick up the pace, modifying my diet isn't too hard for me, regular exercise is a challenge once the leagues I play in end. I need to get in shape and drop a few lbs. for an event I'm training for, not to mention just for summer fun. You guys are inspiring! |

Without blowing my own horn, Yes it is thanks. I've always been lucky that even at 55 my body still responds to exercise and diet as quickly as it responds to neglect! LOL so if I commit to something I get results. Not everyone is that lucky so I won't take advantage of that again. Don't know how many chances you get to turn the clock back. |

Good work Greg et all, you guys look great but more important is I can imagine how great you feel. It's like being 10 years younger.
I hit a milestone today, I have officially lost 30 lbs since Feb 1. Now residing at 184, I'd like to hit 180 and stay there. I've lost 4 inches on my waistline, yikes! Switched my diet and workout routine from cardio/weight loss to strength training now. Hill climbing on the eliptical and Piyo which looks easy but kicks your butt. Feeling great and hustling around like a kid again. Should be skiing in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to hit the water. Crazy thing is I was on the road yesterday and when lunch time came around I really had to struggle to find something good to eat. There is so much crap out there it's mind blowing but you can eat properly once you actually know what that means. Finally have a made a commitment to myself to never get that out of shape again. No excuses. |

Yesterday was the first time on the water and oh man what a difference. From putting on the BF suit to skiing to taking the suit off. Amazing what the absence of the additional #'s will do.
Proves to be an additional motivator to keep this journey up. |

Greg, When we are at White Lake and after I have had a few beers, let me borrow your beach towel and I will teach you my signature move that drives the Chubby Chasers Crazy. I will try not to leave a skid mark on the towel. Donald |

I just got back from the Gym tonight and I am down 22 lbs. I even saw 24 lbs down last week. I have had some long work hours (Driving) this week that have kept me out of the Gym for the last five or so days.
I have seemed to broken past the wall for now and have been seeing six night each week in the gym since October. |

Steve, You looked great when I saw you last month. Stop worrying about numbers and just be active to live and feel good. "Fit" comes in many different shapes and sizes. I think your real problem is that you still think it's 1986 and still carry a pager. A friendly warning for you is that next year in 1987, there will be a huge savings and loan scandal. Move your money now. |

The hardest thing is getting the exercise into your daily routine.
What works for me is going to gym everyday at 5:30 pm straight from work. Pack gym bag in the morning so you do not have to travel back home to get changed and somehow find a excuse not to go. I do not get to gym everyday but if I miss one due to work commitments. Somehow I feel guilty for not getting there. Then have to work harder and longer at next session. |

Ha ha, nope, for the most part it's not. And to tell you the truth I like it that way, wouldn't trade the family commitments for anything! Which, by the way, isn't my excuse for not working out and not losing weight. I can make it fit my schedule, just have a hard time making it a priority. Starting now I'll start training a bit for an event I have coming up, and that should help with ski season as well, but without a goal in sight I really struggle to take the time to work out regularly. |

Tell my pager, my kids and my clients that...... I guess I could, then I couldn't afford these boats. Tough one.
Exactly what I was saying..... me first. That is not how it's been. |

Yeah, it's tough cuz my schedule is not my own - never was/is. Clinic duties, kid duties, chores, etc..... never allowed this kind of time. I don't see how I could have done it before..... and THAT's a shame.
Val said it always was a matter of priorities. Not so happy that it seems to be one swing of the pendulum or the other. Oh well, got to get my skinny a$$ movin. |

A healthy, active lifestyle is not selfish. Eat now and die young or exercise and grow old? I'm sure she prefers the weight, I mean wait.

Awesome Greg! That is EXCELLENT!!!!
I have found that the exercise and weight loss has been very selfish. Carving out time to eat "right" and exercise puts a huge cramp into family togetherness. Val and I are empty nesters and it is easier when I just screw up Val's schedule..... when the ladies come home, it's disastrous to either family unity or my exercise schedule. I actually did better over Christmas and Thanksgiving than I did over their Spring break. 1-2 weeks of solid Family slows the roll. I like the outcome, but I don't like the family toll.... just ramblin before I hit the machines and make Val wait for dinner. |

Great work guys!!! Keep it up!
Last year pounds just piled on or changed to fat... While working (I traveled almost every week since May '14 5 days a week), I also got a Master's degree. So one the weekends, I spent as much time as possible with the family on the lake (lots of beer, brats and burgers...). I needed to change some habits... While I still travle almost every week for work (so far 41 flights this year), I got lees on my plate (haha) since I graduated 12/12/14. By now, I'm 2 month into my freeletics training and I can tell I changed (not only my diet and training routine). While I only lost 11 lbs, I lost some inches and gained some muscle (or so I hope). Today I had to run 1k, then 4x 100 jumping jacks and 100 froggers, then run again 1k. While it is hard, at the same time, by now I look forward to working out and kind like burpees??? Yesterday the BF suit arrived and I'm looking forward to this season, even thou I still have some more to loose. |

Looking to put the gear on this Wednesday- will be interesting for sure as I busted through the gate the past two weeks and hit the -33 (holy crap I was fat). Hope that gear still fits as Sue's threshold is pretty maxed out on boats / ski gear right now. With any luck I will achieve my White Lake goal this year
Donald I am about ready to come after that second job of yours |

The only thing I need to shed is the 4' snow pile that is still in front of my boat tongue and the rock solid lakes and ponds around here.
