yeah, thats what i hear. We have a treadmill at home and i might become friends with it again
I am just watching what i eat, I've lost about 10lbs. already just by cutting back on fattier foods, not starving......

john, I know how you feel! I have always felt like I was on the heavier side being 5"11 and 195 pounds so I started to watch what I ate and WHEN I ate it and it made a pretty big difference. One thing that helps a lot is cutting back mostly or totally on pop.. if you drink a lot of water that makes you feel better and look better, not to mention it helps you to lose weight quickly. I am now down to 175 and feel better. Still a little bit 'chubby' but not fat. I hate running so if it were my choice, I'd choose a bike or something (once it gets warmer out.) I hate running although I once managed the mile in 6 minutes but I was dying by the time I was done. lol. I would like to get into shape more though too by weight lifting. I'll do it for a few weeks then just totally stop doing it. a 6 pack would be great but right now I can only see two ab muscles, the top two.

good luck john ive done the whole weight loss thing twice before, when i was in 8th grade i went from 230 to 180, then my freshman year i got back up to 215, in the next year after that i went downt to 150, now im at 200, but trying it again. by the way i ran the mile in 11.59 when i was at 230 and 58, it took me a week and a half to do it running everyday at school

Yes, good luck with your fitness program. It'* so hard to keep in shape sometimes. I work out and bench 370 lbs, but I also weigh around 270 lbs. I'm also 6'2". I would love to get my weight down to 225 or so.... and keep it there. Like others have said, I too have lost weight before but then it comes back. Sure, a lot of it is muscle, but I've some serious love in the handles and the general gut area.
My problem is twofold. I love to eat a nice large meal, usually pasta or other such carb filled meals, and I need to stay motivated in a fitness/cardio type work out regimen. I'm also a computer game junkie. Though married and I do a lot around the house and stuff, that'* not a major workout. My first child is due on the 17th of February. Maybe I'll start losing then!![Very Happy](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
My workouts consist of two days of upper body lifting. One day bench stuff, and the second curl stuff. I need to get more walking, hiking, biking etc... going. Especially in the winter, it'* hard to get a good cardio workout.
Anyway, I hope you succeed in your goals!
