Old Ironmaker Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Man I've lost 5 lbs reading all 7 pages of this thread .In all seriousness thank you all for the inspirational stories here, especially yours squid. Every one here that is trying to lose weight seem to be all doing very well. I started to try and lose all that pizza and ice cream I've added since the last round of golf in November just this past Sunday. Every year the weight started to come of by it's own as soon as the spring thaw started, every year now I'm in my 50's it just doesn't happen naturally, takes hard work now. If you haven't read the blog written by Shane on this thread that he posted the link to is below, it's a must read. http://instablogg.com/OR3kV4T Again way to go all.

mr blizzard Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Great job Pete, you have inspired many of us. You should be very proud of yourself. I told this to my 86 year old mother, she says Bravo,,,,She shares your victory, years ago she was the first woman to lose 200 pounds with a registered weight lose clinic in Ontario. I also want to thank you as u gave me things to think about, for the first time in 7 years my bp is down from the 100 range to 85 range, THANKS Blizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Good for all of you!!!! I have packed a bunch of weight on during my chemo. I'm on some heavy steroids that have really cranked up my appetite. I can't wait for this to be over so I can start my own weight loss plan. Its called keep yer dang mouth shut after 7:30pm. Only water after then. No sweets and reasonable portions of food. That combined with lots of walking seems to do the trick for me. 30 push ups, 30 leg raises and 30 sit ups for muscle tone once some weight comes off. And the drs orders, 1000 casts for muskies once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squid Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Week 8 complete All is going well and we are being prepared to go on soild food again. I still have 4 weeks to go on the shakes so solid food is still a dream. Good news on the weight loss front. Today marks the day that I officially lost 50 LBS !!! Amazing that it all happened in 8 weeks. Its looking more and more like I will lose 80 lbs that I originally thought that I would lose. I have gone from a tight 44 to a 38 and that is it for the clothes. Once the 38's start getting loose there will be a shopping spree and oh its my birthday on the 28th! Maybe I will lose 54 lbs for my 54th birthday!!! Anyways thanks for following and supporting my journey it has been a blast to say the least. I will go out this weekend and buy an 8'6'' st croix Premiere extra heavy split grip as my gift to myself for losing 50 lbs!! Until next week!!

You are a lean mean machine now Bud !! Enjoy the gift and happy bithday in advance. I bought a Calcutta TE and a Tekota LC as my gift with the money i saved not smokeing. I will appreciate them more when i think of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well done on the 50 pound milestone Pete, that's fantastic. Diane sends congrats too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattletrap2 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Congrats on the 50 lb. mark! Way to go! Amazing given the short 8 week span. Just imagine, that is like lifting 5 sacks of potatoes off your body! Your inspiration had a very good effect on me as well. I have dropped 21 pounds in the same 8 weeks. Not as awesome as yours, but I am feeling much better all the same. We changed our eating habits and lifestyle. It is slower, but steady all the same.

Squid Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Paul ( Mercman) I read your comment and way to go on the 45 lbs weight loss and not smoking for Ten weeks!!! Oh man that is awesome!! Week 9 complete. 5 lb loss over the last week bringing the total to 55 lbs. I set a goal on January 22nd to lose 54 lbs. by my 54th birthday this Thursday. Well I BEAT IT!! All health indicators are green or better. Now the doctor is discussing the potential of me losing 100 lbs by the time I end this "diet" on June 15th. Have to tell you that it is getting boring. Losing weight every week. It is becoming like groundhog day for me. I want to move on to the next phase which is drinking it up and partying!!! LOL JK. On April 23rd we will replace one shake a day with one 300 calorie meal a day, our choice of mealtime but their choice of what we get to eat. This pattern continues for the week and then the next week we remove 2 shakes and replace with 2 meals a day and so on until May 15th. Come May 15th we will be on 4 meals a day consisting of 300 calories a meal. This will bring our total caloric intake up from 900 calories to 1200 calories. We continue see the team until the end which is June 16th. From there it is maintenance once a month for a couple of years. I hope that all that are dieting are seeing results and are sticking to it because the results are so worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 . I have gone from a tight 44 to a 38 and that is it for the clothes. Once the 38's start getting loose there will be a shopping spree and oh its my birthday on the 28th! Peter Don't do it man.. If you can hold off on buying new cloths until you have reached your target weight and leveled off), that is a much more cost effective solution. Trust me. My clothes stopped fitting me halfway through my weight loss. So I bought new clothes. Then I lost another 20 lbs, and all the NEW clothes that I bought didn't fit me, and I had to buy ever MORE new clothes.. And I HATE wasting money on clothes. Money is much better spent on fishing gear!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels great! I'm down 38 lbs since mid January. I've passed my initial goal set for end of April and set another one. You are an inspiration.
