I just signed up for the Nutrisystem weight loss program. Several of my friends in times past have used it and it worked really well without starving. Right now it doesn't cost any more than I would spend on a month's groceries anyway. The secret to success is that you have to alter your eating pattern and stay that way after you loose the weight or you are wasting your time and money. Since I retired I have gained 50 lbs. and I am miserable, not to mention the bad effects it might have on my health. Due to my back problem I cannot exercise as I use to do so I have to find an alternative program to loose this spare tire or....maybe die? Hope this works for me and if anyone is interested I will report any weight loss over the next few months. Wish me luck. Monty, that little fat guy you all know and love! ::)

Monty,

weight loss is a real pain.

Hope you can work on getting rid of a few
pounds.

Sad thing is you often can tough it out and
get where you want to be, but it all sneaks
back on in the long run.

Have you tried taking the change out of you
pockets, always helped when I weighed in. ;)

have a good un............

You can do it Monty!!! I'm rooting for ya.

My daughter took a nutrition class at college last year and told me that most of the time when we think we're hungry, we're actually thirsty... of course that was followed by "drink lots of water". Personally I'm a coffee nut, if I don't get that coffee fix I'm worthless. Ah the vices.
 

I cant believe you used "Attention Fat Guys" and then gave an announcement about Nutrisystem. Fat guy etiquette states anytime "Attention Fat Guy" is used it must be follow up with something dealing with donuts, beer or both. :D Good luck on your weight loss. I have started a diet and now am going to the YMCA for exercise. I am looking forward to the day that I can tie my boots with only one breath.
 

Good luck Monty you have taken the first important step. Now stay committed to it. I herd all that some where not sure though. As for me I lost 40 lbs. twice dieting. Then I gained all of it back plus 5lbs each time. Now I weigh 10lbs more than when I started. So far the diet that I get along with is stick food in thy mouth when I get hungry or nervous. I seem to get along better with this diet than the others. I hated the others I tried.
I sure hope you succeed. I think it boils down to good eating habits. GOOD LUCK MONTY!!!

Monty, good luck on the weight loss. here's an incentive for you.

CHALLENGE
$1 worth of ITTHC drawing tickets for each pound you lose with a limit of $25. That give you till Memorial weekend to lose those pounds. Here's your chance at a new detector, gold coin, or both. ;)
 

I wish you luck Monty. I feel your pain. On a positive note, "Fat guys make good metal detectorist because we tend to move slower." Kind of like " Weebles Wobble but thy don,t fall down!" Remember when you loose that weight , Monty, To slow back down.

Well, I can't run because of my back injury so I'd just have to kill him. R.I.P Richard! Seriously, it's got to when I walk by the mirror I don't recognize the guy looking back at me and I feel miserable just trying to get around and do my daily activities. And when I stand up as straight as I can I can't see my feet...or anything else, and that's scary. I don't have love handles I have flub handles. I don't want to wind up looking like that pretty thing in the picture Gypsy posted on the other category. And worse of all it is getting difficult to get down and play in the dirt. The problem is that about any kind of physical activity causes me to have severe back pain, so I can't get the exercise I use to get. Oh, I could exercise if I take massive doses of narcotic pain killers, but I am trying to stay off that junk as best as I can. Walking any distance at all is the most painful activity I have found so that's out. So, gotta' so something. Monty
 

Monty, have you been checked for P.A.D.? Back in Dec., I could make 10 laps, walking, around my front yard. Then the pain in my back and hips was so bad I had to sit down until the pain went away. On Dec. 28th I had stents put in the arteries just below the heart where they branch out to each leg. Now , the last count I took, I did 40 laps with no pain whatsoever. I went detecting for gold in some rolling hills for a day and I've played 9 holes of golf, walking and carrying my bag with no problems. For a couple years I thought the problem was my sciatic nerve based on what all my friends were telling me. Then it got much worse and I finally got checked out. Sure glad I did.
 

I already have had 2 stents! Dr. said to loose weight and because of my back problem he advised to check into the program I am going to try. Once I get some weight off I may be able to exercise more as it will be easier on my back, but I will have to watch my diet for the rest of my life which will be a lot shorter if I don't! :'( Monty

You darn food addict! You might as well be on heroin if your gonna keep eating food! ;D :) .I agree with you,i've quit everything else too,cigarettes was the last thing to go.I've gained at least 10 pounds since Nov.25,2006.I'm glad I don't have a sit down job or it'd be 20 lbs.. :) Ditto on the weight loss Monty! I'm not looking forward to bypasses and stints and carotids and such!
 

Monty, I need to lose about 30 lbs too. The doctor says my cholesterol is high and wants me to start taking some pills. She said she will give me a few months to try to lose the weight and hope it comes down. If anybody can do it, you can. Hang in there.
 

Monty,goodluck.I wish you the best,BUT,if in 3 months you come on here and say,"Look at ME,a size 2." I'm gonna haunt you forever! I can't stand that commercial. All the,Buddy.
 

Been out of work 2 months monty i know.Went from 200lbs to 250 lbs. Going back to judo good luck.
