Title: WOOHOOO I'm under 200lbs!
Post by: GRUNHERZ on January 12, 2006, 10:40:15 AM: Yo all!

Some of you have been following my weight loss for the past year and today I have reached a huge milestone of under 200 lbs all the way from 330lbs since October 18th 2004. I lost 131lbs through better diet and exercise.

This has been an awesome ride and there is still lots more fitness work to do and new goals I have to reach like running a half maraton and dunking a basketball and that will be great too...

At the 2003 Minicon SOB once told me he'd like to see what I'd look at 40 years old considrung the way I was then. I laughed but really I thought I wouldnt see 40 if i kept going that way, thankdfully i turned it all around!

Here is a Pic pf me Taken at the 2003 minicon and a new one of me today!

Thanks for the encouraging words guys, support from familiy nad friends had been very importnat for my success.

Do a lot of jumping.. seriously. Try to touch things up high. Jumping rope is excellent. Also get two fairly heavy dumbells (now there's a straight line) and hold one in each hand. Place one foot in front of the other and then jump and alternate your feet. Land on your toes.

A normal person in decent shape should have about an 18" vertical leap. At 6" the average guy needs at least a 24" vert to touch the rim. If you can palm the ball you can eek out a couple extra inches.

Now get one of those adjustable rims and put it at whatever height you can barely dunk. Then do it a lot. Why? cause it's fun. Then when that gets easy raise it up. Use a volleyball if you have small hands. I want pictures of your first dunk.

Not too good unfortunately. The Smokin' Swine, my local smokehouse, lost its lease and is currently in limbo. Until they find a new home, I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my daily allotment of pork fat. If this keeps up, I could find myself in the same predicament as Grun. :(

Yeah, I know...

I suspected that you had these feelings soon after I defended you in a post, and you dissapeared......because I'm super smart.

Post by: GrunSis on January 14, 2006, 04:31:45 PM: Before, Grun's idea of a varied diet was Carl's Jr. for breakfast, Jack-in-the-Box for second breakfast, Taco Bell for elevenses, McDonald's for luncheon, Krispy Kreme for afternoon tea, KFC for dinner, and Chipotle for supper.

Once he changed his view of variation and decided to start exercising, everything else came pretty easily. He's a determined guy.
