About 5", does wonders for my calfs and ass

You can do it if you adjust your eating habits. Often easier said than done, I know. But on the whole, we eat so much more now than when I was a kid. Bigger portions, more choices. No amount of exercise can overcome that.

I do pretty good Dave. I have a green drink for breakfast  greens and fruit in a blender) sandwich for lunch with some veggies and fruit. Dinner is usually meat/fish, veggies and rice or potatos. I don't snack between meals. I cycle for exercise. No doubt Dave I could cut back on somethings but man is it tougher as you get older.

Tell me about it! But adjusting portions is the key. A few years back I just started gaining because I wasn't watching what I was eating. One day I weighed myself and I was up to 186. Too much for my frame, and it showed. So without changing what I eat, I started cutting back. Two strips of bacon every morning instead of four, small glass of OJ instead of large, one hamburger or pork chop or piece of chicken at dinner instead of two, no huge baked potatoes, etc. Hoped to get down to 175. Wound up getting down to 161 before it leveled off, and it's stayed there. Now I can't eat the bigger meals I used to. It's too much for me to finish.

Also, not eating out often sure helps. There must be at least 5x as many restaurants per capita as there were when I was little, and the portions are much larger than they used to be.

Ah... if only I had the resolve... being veggie does not mean being healthy...

It's those vegitarian twinkies Kenny

I've made progress in the past couple years, but it's been tough this year.  I dropped 75 lbs. last year, but still a long way to 250, my goal.  This year, I've been trying to watch what I eat, and no food after about 7:00 pm on any night.  I do get out on my bike, but with one knee bone-on-bone, I don't get in as much time as I'd like.  Still, I've managed to keep off most of what I lost.  I have another 40 to go to my goal.  I'm back in the right direction, at any rate.

[Highlander]

240 but stable...

Keep it up, Gary... the long run will be worth the effort, long term...

It's those vegitarian twinkies Kenny

They are...? Wow ... all that eating I've missed... II think I tried one once... not for me - pizza is a weakness, that and chips, and I don't mean what you call them - deep-fried slabs of spud, served up slathered with tomato sauce in a slab of crusty bread... the chip-buttie...

Oh yeah, cheese and onion pastie...

I'm 5'11" and weigh about 180 now. When I went to college I was the same height but weight 133. If I could back off to 170 I'd be fine with that. Besides, I have all these old jeans...

[Highlander]

Bean pole... 130...

180 is about the weight I was when I played on a regular basis...

Baroness Chromos...

This, I like!   Mark, you'll now need to come up with some type of tiara - perhps take the chrome up a notch to platinum

So, where do you keep the chrome calf that Uwe acuses all of the Chromlings of worshiping?

I saw a quote that said "You can't out-exercise a bad diet". I'm all about moderation. I don't shy away from pizza, beef sandwiches, cheeseburgers, pasta, tacos, etc., but I eat very little fast food and don't drink much soda. I also exercise religiously.

Soda pop is a killer. Each 12oz can of Pepsi has around 9 teaspoons of sugar in it. Orange and grape soda has even more.
People switch to diet soft drinks and then continue drinking as many or more than they did before. Just because it's "diet" or "low in calories" doesn't mean you should over indulge.

I've seen many vegetarians who use vegetarianism as an excuse to eat as much as they want; hence, I see many overweight vegetarians.

[Highlander]

No excuses here, I've been on a "seafood" diet for years... (see-food an' eat it... )

I was no different as a carni/omni...

Don't know about a fatted calf but this is a vaguely disturbing image of the Chicago Cloud Gate which is certainly "chromey" enough to be worshiped over...

I've replace "soda" stuff with beer, or with what we call soda here, carbonized water that is. Cola drinks contain alot more harmful stuff except sugar, like phosphoric acid, preservatives etc.
