as for a diet I plan to eat less red meat, replace snacking at work with fruits and veggies, and drink more water instead of juices or soda.

Not sure if Scott can play anymore, he spent a number of years on the pro bodybuilding circuit. His stage name was, "Scotty too hottie, Beeeg Body!!"

Anyway. I just came back from working out at a Tae Kwon Do school to check it out. The monthly fees are actually pretty steep, much more steep than they were when I trained previously, but that was over a decade ago. Apparently I can still do all the kicks required of a black belt and I maintained form which is important. It's hard to do some kicks though, my belly seems to throw off my balance.

I'm also looking into the O2 Martial Arts facility in Aiea. I took GJJ from the twins back in 96 and I've been thinking about getting back into it. Their school is more geared towards MMA though and I'm all about getting in shape for the 2009.

For those of you that shared your height and weight, I'm going to cut and paste that information in the top thread to keep track, along with the date. We will all meet our goals, that's how we roll in the sportshawaii Ohana!!

in all seriousness, you should give buffalo (also known as bison) a try. tastes just like beef, if not better...

Exactly, I've had BISON,and you're right it's not bad...close to the taste of beef. But then again, it ain't chicken So, everyone has their choice of taste.....and I'm one who enjoys "Lani Moooo" Eh, there's no such thing as SAMOAN cow? Or is that called "BULL(a)"

what da heck. i'm in.

5'8 189

i don't consider myself fat, but i have high blood pressure and my doc says i need to get down to 165.

that was 4 years ago.

maybe 'publicly' stating the goal will help me actually do it.

my diet is okay. i just need to eat smaller portions and exercise.

[thanohano44]

my new diet:

cut out soda and powerade and replace with 14 servings of water.
eat rice only at lunch time.
eat red meat twice a week.
fast food once a week.
eat fruits and oatmeal for breakfast (One hour after i lift/run)

workout:

20 minutes cardio to maintain a HR of 154bps
reps of 15-12-10-10-10 of lifts 5 days a week.
I made it through my first week and dropped 11lbs. I will do this for another 3 weeks before adding 10 more minutes of cardio.

Is it too late for me to start this up with you guys?

[SundayJam]

Losing weight ain't as easy as it used to be. Last year, I was eating healthy and exercising regularly...but stayed at 235lbs....for like 4 months. If you don't weigh yourself daily, it's easy to fool yourself. I had to double my exercise regime and stop cheating on my diet. (party and friend's bbq count too.) Eating healthy and losing weight are two different issues.

I am 5'11" and 205lbs now. I want to lose another 10lbs by May 7. It will have taken me one year to reach this goal.

Losing weight ain't as easy as it used to be. ...

I hear that.

I've got a nagging hamstring and groin injury. While I try to jog regularly, I have to rest every once in a while because one of those 2 issues appear. I also have bursitis in both my shoulders which will require surgery, but the Dr. doesn't recommend that now because he knows I'm taking care of my elderly father.

I played all Sports including with my company, and surfed in between. In my 20s, I had those periods of weight-lifting, and jogged 4-miles every other day religiously. As I got older, I gave those things up and grew - reaching weights of over 260. My wife describes me as 6-2, I describe myself as 6-1, and I'm actually in between.

On New Year's Day '06, I scaled in at 259. I started to jog again and worked my way up to 2-miles every other day. On the non-jogging days, I had a aerobic type weight-lifting routine, light weights with quick reps and quickly moving through the disciplines. 2-years later I had worked myself down to 227. Eventually that climbed back up to 235, and that's the general weight I've been able to maintain. Currently "resting" because my hammy seized-up a month or so ago, I just now got started back into my jogging. Just off the scale, I'm currently 239.

My goal: 220 by Thanksgiving, in hopes of maintaining a weight of 225 through the Holidays. I hope to see 210 again some day.

Good Luck everyone!

(PS - I alway use Thanksgiving as my target date, because there's no way I'm going to lose weight after that day and through the holidays - know what I mean?).
