  1. How many DUI's would the Pro Athletes save on if they were in the air? It isn't that much different in price from a bentley and they only hit each other. In fact perhaps they should market them in team colours!
  2. Well, We have to weigh in every two weeks here in the office for a little contest that is going on. Down to 226 from about 256 on January 1. Five more lbs and I qualify for $100 per month savings off the health insurance. Exercise seems to be the key, along with moderation. Eventually I will plateau...But not yet! Feeling good. My legs are burning from the mornings activities, I think I like it. How are the rest of you doing?
  3. I sell to Napoleon. My suggestion is to go their store which is at the "corner" of Hwy 11/400 this side of Orrillia. They have two lines of BBQ's. To keep up with competition Napleon started manufacturing in China a number of years ago. The ones at Canadian Tire are actually imported BBQ's made to the same specs as the canadian models, if I remember right. You can get some good deals at th Napoleon store!
  4. Anyone still awake?
  5. Joe, I have a steam every morning with my counterpart from our closest competitor. hahahahhaa. I certainly can't let him see me fail. The steam is something I enjoy, the sweat from the workout and the stuff that hasn't fit me for 10 years now fits. Inspiration is only a mirror away...
  6. I have met a group at the gym I go to that I rely on to keep me honest. If I am not there they are asking questions. It helps to have a "team". I don't exercise with them. but they are there everyday, like I am. good luck man.
  7. Thanks Brian! I go to bed looking forward to my morning workouts now. I have a few good models to follow, yours included. Pretty soon I will start with the mountain biking with a few co-workers.
  8. Well, I am down 25lbs this year. I am hitting the gym 6 mornings a week for about a 37 minute workout. I say 37 minutes because that is how long my Jim Rome podcast goes for. Then I cool down for 5 minutes on the bike or the track. I hit the eliptical, bike and treadmill. I will start some weight training when I hit my goal weight. The target is 217, 13lbs to go. The activity target is a mini triathlon in september at the local state park! I need to get in the pool here at some point. I have changed my eating habits some but I still eat! In fact I had a chicken wing buffet and beers on Wednesday night. Over and above weight loss, which is a requirement from my health insurance carrier (to earn a $100 per month discount), I feel 100%!!! I have a ton of energy that I didn't know existed before. If I was to buy new pants today they would be 38's down from 42's in December. Eating habits are a big deal. I do eat smaller portions and a lot more fish. Don't let labels fool you. Know what you are eating. Thanks for thinking of me. Next time I show up at a swill I won't be less of a F F. hahahahahaa
  9. Cool man! Kids are the greatest gift.
  10. One approach is to say... "I have $700 to spend on a trailer. It needs to carry my ___ft boat and I would like it to have a spare tire and bearing buddies. Do you have anything that meets my needs?" I do this for a living. The goal is to bring your offer to the people in a way that makes it easy for them to negotiate. Don't tell them that you know it's an $800 trailer and that the other stuff should be extra. Tell them what you are looking for and how much you want to spend...Someone will have the right deal for you. Let them make the offer to you!
  11. I have a Kuerig. It is great. Similar design...have a look.
  12. Going Great!!! down about 20lbs this year. Hitting the gym 6 days a week. No weights yet, to hard to keep a good system on the road. Going to start resistance bands next week. good times!
  13. check it out.
  14. Check out the stuff from this movie...I know you have been busy in the gym. This is an interesting album to work out to.
  15. I can't imagine the insurance premiums.
  16. I got some origami thing lit up...see the pattern fish, bear, dog...
  17. The problem with this is that it would not be sustainable for me. I have been working towards the Canada Food Guide as the right diet. Small changes in my diet are more likely to be sustained, I can and will continue to tweak it as I move along. I have so far enjoyed both the cardio and the weights. Being back into the weights after 10 years away I have decided to take it very easy. I like this thread and find it to be helpful. Thanks everyone.
  18. That thing is GREAT. People pay a lot of money to have weight watchers track for them
  19. who changed the title of the thread? generously proportioned
  20. Hey all, My health insurance premiums are up this year, to the tune of $100 per month. If I get my weight down I can get that reduction taken away. Seems like a good motivator!!! I am down about 10lbs this year and 40 from my peak in 2007 of 280lbs. I have modified my diet some and since January I have been hitting the gym 6 days a week and would say my energy level has increased to the point that I had to stop all but two cups of coffee per day. So the question is what has been working for the other generously proportioned's? I want to be at 215 lbs losing about 2-3 lbs per week until I get there. The easy answer is to cut out alcohol; however, I am not willing to make any changes now that I won't be willing to live with forever. That ain't one of them. 5 servings a day of Fruits and Veggies is a great helper!
  21. Vice President of a company focusing on sales to the filtration and security markets. You have recently seen our products on the Cadillac Grilles and in many of the after market car grille catalogues. NEXT I have a product that will be available in BPS and the like by Spring of 2010. I have sold wire mesh for most of my life...Some of our members here on the site have been customers over the years.
