    Quit donuts!

    Perish the thought. Part of a full, yet less rounded me, life, is still the enjoyment of a good donut now and again. Heck, I've been spitballing ideas for next years Donut Run at MOTD.

    Lost weight is found horsepower.

    I still did a monthly donut last year when I was trying to lose weight and get in better shape and was still able to drop almost 40 lbs. Now that I have a some what consistent exercise routine, I usually indulge in a Der Dutchman donut once every week or two (still down around 35 lbs).

    Nathan, this is a great thread and has inspired me to make a real effort to quit smoking and to get back to some better eating habits.

    Now that it was pointed out that losing weight was like adding horsepower, I'm on the bandwagon.

    I'd be more than happy to walk about with you, Nathan, but, alas, I live too far away. I try to eat healthy and I walk my dog a lot, but, a guy needs some vices, so, I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY CIGARS!:frown2::lol::devil:

    Not overstepping at all. I know I'm going to need lots of ideas and encouragement too keep moving forward.

    Since I'll be cooking more at home I planted a small box garden with herbs today. Thanks to my brother who carried all that dirt upstairs for me.

    Planet Fitness, 10 bucks a month, hard to beat--nice gym! I've belonged to more expensive places, but the convenience makes it so easy, don't really need the frills anyway.

    Interesting, it should be fun watching all the progress. I will watch from afar, I have been trying to drop 10 to 15 for a year or so.

    Guess I will trudge along with all of you, see if I can do it too.

    Anyone else using the Jawbone Up24 to track stuff?

    My brother and I both have one and we've turned getting fit into a challenge. Why... Because we are men.

    Join in.

    I'm sure we can turn this into a competition with prizes. Just need to figure out how.

    Excuse me while I go nap now.

    Good for you Nathan. Glad you're doing well and looking to feel even better. It's not an easy task, but it's worth all the work in the end. Not only getting healthy, but how much better you'll feel.

    Happy to support in any way I can and join you when possible.

    Look forward to seeing you and rest of MoM in the near future.

    I'd love to be able to join you too, but I'm afraid I'll have to do it vicariously - I can't do a lot of walking anyway till I get my knee fixed/rebuilt/replaced......

    But you're on the right track, just work up to it easy, give your body time to catch up.....
