    Eat like Asians...eat vegetables with the meat for flavour not the meal itself...and I prefer to exercise more and reduce food intake less...I also only eat twice a day...(I don't think cave man had three meals a day every day....) if your serious, then a mind change around food is necessary...food for fuel not for fun. Bit hard in today's food climate I'll,grant you...

    Lots of good suggestions here, thanks everyone! I've made some small alterations to my diet, but not doing workouts as yet.

    Here is an update, I think I'm doing something right. :muscleman:

    So, back to your showgirl figure yet? Having a baby is hard on a mans body.

    You can do it Otto... Diet and staying active is a must Ofcourse and so is dedication. I have read that most who try give up within the first 6 weeks. Seems for those who keep going it becomes a way of life and actually look forward to the gym (or some other form of exercise).

    No so much look forward to it as hate missing it...3 times a week as a minimum, anything less is just playing...
    Take up something that will make you exercise...a new kid, a puppy, taking on a junior football team as coach...I find I do things better for other people than I do for myself.

    I'm on a July 4th week vacation in North Carolina. My cuisine is BBQ every day for lunch and dinners, grits and biscuits for breakfast, all while drinking more than my share of good beer. I don't have a scale here, probably wouldn't want to see it anyways.

    Just be sure to do a two mile run after each meal.

    Or maybe a 2 mile walk.


    Better yet just saunter around for 2 hours.


    With one of those Southern sweet teas.

    I used to weigh 220 pounds and wore size 30 blue jeans. So when they tell me my ideal weight is 180 pounds I have to laugh. I'm overweight right now, but I'm 65 years old, so FOAD bathroom scales.

    65...'splains a lot. Just want to warn your kids if they are listening. Cranky never gets nicer.

    Pretty quiet here. OPointer must be napping...shhh
    As the overlord, Otto could probably wipe this thread out. Like it was never even written. Nobody would ever know Otto was 350 lbs.

    Don't sweat OP, he's a gentle soul unless you point at him of course.

    I was 259 at my heaviest, but I'm a fairly large framed person, anything under 200lbs would be unhealthy for me.

    I have soft bones. Have to be very careful.
    Anything over 200 is a bit of a burden for me...180-85 is the sweet spot.

    My top-out weight was 210 and some change January, 2014. I said that'll do, pig.

    A smudge over 5 months later I was 180lbs, where I have been since. I ate my way across the Netherlands, Belgium and France in September of that year. When I returned home, I weighed the same as when I left. I changed my habits, not my diet. I still eat anything I want, just not by the bushel.

    Just found my long lost Boston Baked Bean recipe.

    This will take the weight off, put hair on your chest and clear a room


    Boston Baked Beans

    1 lb. dry navy beans
    ½ lb. bacon (cut into 1” pieces)
    ½ c molasses
    ½ c brown sugar
    2-3 tsp. heaping, brown mustard
    1 ea big squirt catsup
    1-2 tsp black pepper
    1 ea. largest onion you can find
    1-2 tsp. chopped garlic (optional)

    Rinse and pick over the beans.
    Boil the beans for 45-60 minutes until they are just soft enough to eat, leave them a little on the firm side.

    [SIZE=12pt] or[/SIZE]

    Let the beans soak overnight

    Drain the beans well and put in crock pot.
    Chop up onion and cut the raw bacon slices into small pieces and dump in crock pot.

    Dump in all other ingredients and stir until evenly mixed.

    Cook about 12 hours on low.

    It is traditional to eat this dish with warm corn bread but I prefer warm crusty Italian or French bread.

    Finished beans will be very thick and dense, much thicker than refried beans or barbecued beans.
