loosing weight for hunting season

[hunterbob]

Well as of april 12th I was 270 pounds.and after giving up mt dew and eating better and jogging and riding a bike I am now feeling better for hunting season .I am now down to 208.if I can do it anyone can.I am striving to get down under 200 pounds and when I do as a treat to myself I am going to eat a large size snickers bar.I use to eat one a day at work.And giving up the mt dew wasnt all that hard.I thought it would be because that is all I ever drank like 8 to 10 cans a day.replased that with water.

Good job Bob. I lost 20 pounds earlier this year but put 5 back on (!).

I feel better too. Have to knock the 5 back off in the next couple of weeks. Once you get in a routine it's not too bad to keep at it. It's if you get out of the routine, like I did, it catches back up.

Mountain biking is my fix. Great cardio workout and you're outdoors to see nature. Great for climbing, walking, and dragging out a deer. It also works the upper body and core for strength building for shooting.

Congrats on your dedication and reaching your goals.

I know how hard it is.  Way to go.

[MSwickard]

Great job!

That's a lot of lb's!  I started mid Feb and went from 235 to 205.  I feel your pain on breaking 200.  Never thought 5 lbs could be so hard.  Keep it up!

Congrats on the restoration of your health!

Now there is less of you to hide while hunting!  :D

Good Job.

8 mtn dews/day = 1600+ cal/day.  Even if you only removed these from your diet, you'd lose (assuming you didn't replace those calories with something else) 54+#'s in 4mos.

Yeah.  They add up.

Keep up the great work.

Congrats BOB I have lost 40 LBS since my little girl was born in may, now I have two little ones that make me want to be healthy so i can keep bending sticks as long as I can.

the hardest thing about mountain biking is finding a place in the city to do it.

There have to be those places...I just haven't located one in close proximity to where I live.

Driving 50 miles to bike is not a workable solution.

Are there websites where I might find the locations near me?

I didnt loose weight, but i converted alot of fat into muscles. I tried a kettlebell for training and believe me, its absolutely fantastic. Also for working into a heavier bow. Started ith a 13kg. bell and am now using a 20 kg. OK, first days are hard, 10 minutes training gives 5 days aches in muscles but the results are great!

[KentuckyTJ]

Good for you and many great days afield for you to enjoy.

[Jack Skinner]

Congrats on the weight loss. Nothing is better for your overall health. Not to mention hunting. I am not a big guy but dropped 22lbs myself this spring never felt better.

You should be able to find links to trails in your area at the last two.

Spoiled have over 50 miles of trails outside my door.

At first i would say u "couldnt do it" but Wow =Great Job and gives me an incentive to lose some lbs.

[rushlush]

Congrats!

I didnt loose weight, but i converted alot of fat into muscles.

I'm hoping I've done the same.  I've amped my running up to 40 miles/wk., training for a 10/3 half-marathon.

Hoping the increased fitness will transfer over into my hunting.

Congrats to all who've gotten in better shape, of late.

[Dustin Waters]

funny... I think I found the weight you lost.
