No diet period.... yes lifestyle change

Well, I can't put it off any longer.  Need to go see Steve @URBAN ASSAULT about my knee(s).  Also have a rotator cuff that is bothering me so will probably take  next week off from lifting weights and concentrate on cardio each day.  Getting older isn't for pussies.

I want you guys to really think about the fact that you "can work out and run and exercise." 
I see Chuck / @Trailabite  hitting the Crossfit and it really is inspiring to me to hear your stories.
And Kevin talkin' about lifestyle changes. It's fawckin' awesome.

I have been doing the elliptical a little this week which is aiding my recovery. I can't go very long but its better than nothing, I keep reminding myself "Baby Steps"
I am looking for a treadmill if anyone has any recommendations. (Laura is training for 1/2 and full marathons so it needs to be one we can run on)

I have been in this position for the past 5 weeks where I could barely walk to the bathroom at 1st. Weight wise I have gained back 2lbs. no big deal
I am starting to feel like I am finally starting to beat this infection. But its really been a son of a bitch.

@BigMike  Steve / @URBAN ASSAULT  gave Laura some exercises to do which has really helped her knee pain. Hang in there.

There's several people that exercise and eat properly but, the fact of the matter is, most of us don't do it umtil we have too.

Its never too late to start, unless you already had that heart attack or stroke or whatever preventable life taker.

Its sorta of like yoir 401k, the earlier you start the better off you will be!

I just signed up for another 6 week challange. This one involves money lol.

It takes into consideration fat loss, nutrition status and physical improvement.

Started on Monday of this week and I'm already behind lol. I had to fly out to LA for a meeting so I  missed 2 workouts. But, I still managed to keep my weight down and not over eat or drink.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a577f2a793cf/Nutrition%20Challenge%20Details.doc

Good luck Chuck!

I've been on a diet since the 2nd & I've gained weight!!
I have narrowed it down to sugar in my morning coffee or the SweetWater IPA's. The beer has 200 calories PER can/bottle. WTF??
I'm gonna try Splenda & Bud Select.

This week we started a exercise routine every night. Its only for about 30 minutes but its a start. We also plan to turn a spare bedroom into a workout/tv room. Got to find a treadmill & bike.

The weight loss challenge we entered has a pot of at least $2k. I need to get busy. $ for tons.

Don't let the scales be the only form of measurement you use, it can be very counterproductive.

Agreed.  Take measurements for your waist, chest, thighs, neck, arms, etc.

We did this and also used a hand held device to measure body fat. I also have a Tanita scale that measures body fat and it was within a few decimal points between the two devices.

If you want to know exactly what your composition is check out a bod pod. Used to use it in the pros back when I was <10% body fat.
I’m sure there is somewhere in ATL that has one.

Great option to hydrostatic BF measurement.  I think the tanita and handheld units are very inaccurate.  Years ago I had the hydrostatic.eas measurement and the next day used a handheld at the gym. Off by 5%.
