Walking as a great way to get exercise.
I walk 1/2 mile each way to the post office every day to pick up shaving supplies that seem to come in there daily
I have seen pics of your den, you must be the healthiest B&B member

I am in , I will join ..
I'm in Noah, though 5lbs is far from what I need to lose. The Jog Log ap is great for tracking time and distance if you're walking or jogging and are unsure of exact distances.
Saxman has it right. Metabolism is complicated stuff.
What's as important is how you will change over the years. All you young guys can easily lose 5 lbs in a month without major alterations in your lifestyle.
Over the last 38 weeks, I've been trying to learn how to eat all over again, because "going on a diet" will fail, eventually. Now is the time to make that a part of your lifestyle. Don't be like me and wait until you're older, because it will only be harder. Sorry to sound like a father.
I've been at a stable weight for the last 2 months, after dropping 50. I'll try to play along, and see if I can drop a little more.
Oh I can't believe I'm doing this, but if there is a community that can motivate me to enjoy shaving, then that community must be able to motivate me to get in better shape. Put me down for 10 lbs. That will be about 1/6th of what I should lose, but 1/4 of what I would be happy to lose.
So...can we take up smoking again as a weight loss plan? You know...a grapefruit for breakfast and a half a pack of cigarettes for lunch. Oh, and 3 martinis for dinner.
Cheers,

I will take the bait. I have the diet and exercise down, but have added cross training into my routine to get ready for cycling season and running season. Now that I'm out running more regularly and riding the single speed to work everyday instead of the winter commuter, I think it's going to be more like 10. I'm already down 30 pounds since last fall, so getting these last 15 is becoming harder and harder.
I'll tag along. I've been slacking on exercise and letting my food choices drift in the wrong direction for a while, so I'll crack down on those and see what happens.
In.
I started tracking intake via myfitnessplan on the phone a week ago.
Started 228, now 225-226.
I'll take 226 as my March starting point.
Dropped soda, late night snacking and McD's breakfasts, as well as most starches during dinner. Even dropped chocolate for the most part - that was the real hard part.
Exercise starts next week.
I'm in. I have picked up about 10-15lbs this winter & can't seem to get things moving back in the other direction. I am consistently over 200lbs for the first time in about 2.5 years & I have had enough.
Ok, then, clock me in at 202.5 starting weight...
I'll join the good fight. I'm getting married in the fall and it's time to start getting serious about losing a few...
The scale screamed 240 at me this morning. My health benefits just kicked in, and they cover a gym membership. It just so happens there is a great gym in my building. My company also provides a discounted Weight Watcher's membership, which my wife and I will both use. We did WW together 2 years ago and I lost 40 lbs (I was 265 lbs). I've gained most of it back.
My plan... simplified... eat less/move around more.
