Eat like a hobbit Sunday.
Sir Rodney:
I need to drop 25 lbs. pronto for the spring & summer fighting season. I believe stress has a lot to do with it for me. I ballooned when I was unemployed, then got in the best shape since college football while under-employed at Home Depot throwing freight 8 hours a day. Since fully employed in my chosen field of work, my weight has slowly crept up due to the daily stresses, lack of exercise and lack of “me time” with two little ones running around the house. :(

Stress, such a simple burden, but if not tended to it can be the downfall of all good men.
Wow quiet profound that. You can quote me if ya like.
But if we did the hobbit way of taking care of stress we'd be seeing smoke puffs as boats. That's the finest weed in the shire

I’ve been engaged in my fight for ten years now ever since I officially hit the middle age group AND quit smoking (smoked 3 packs a day for 26 years). Therefore my metabolism took a serious nose dive along with my rediscovered taste buds brought me to my current weight woes of 236 pounds at six foot one. Still I don’t exercise enough and need to work on more cardio just for general health. I hope to get down to an even 200 lbs which would be the ideal weight for my height and larger frame. :-\

Same height here, but never been a smoker (a pipe with a scotch on the weekends doesn't count ;) )
My doctor keeps telling me 200 would be ideal at 6’1”, but I haven’t been that light since the 80’s when I was skinny as a rail. I’m shooting for dropping 25 from 250 down to 225.

Sir Brian not to be harsh, but when we first met you seemed rather short and when you said 6.1. I was sorta confused but then I realized I'd been higher on a hill. I hope I didn't offend you in any way by saying that.
Sir Edward:
Yeah, I've slacked off on the diet and exercise since this past fall, and I'm noticing the difference. It doesn't take long to lose whatever progress you have made.
I consider 200 lbs to be by "ceiling". That's the point where I don't like how my clothes are fitting, or the lack of energy I have. I've kept it around 195 for the last year or two, but I was down to 186 at one point, and I need to get back there. I'm between 5'10 and 5'11, so that's a good weight for me.
