Years ago there was an Outdoors Board weight loss thread. It really motivated me and I ended up losing almost ~50 pounds. Fast forward 10 years, 2 kids, and a stressful job later and sadly I've gained it all back. Would anybody be interested in starting this back up? Back then we had a log and everyone would check in once a week and it sure kept me motivated. Everyone was cheering everyone on. There were quite a few success stories.

Let me know if you would be interested in something like this.

Not in, but i do believe in weight accountability. Ive got a buddy that everytime he calls i answer what's up fatso. It was awesome the day his wife called me from his phone.

God speed, get after it!

So how do we kick this off?

First, you have to go out and buy a high end rifle of any type. Then, watch your diet, exercise, and post so others can help hold you accountable.

Godspeed. I shed off about 10-12 pounds (and kept it off) over a year ago with a couple of minor changes. I have a desk job and don't really exercise much. For me:

1. Stop drinking beer. A little bit of whiskey on the weekend is fine. And a beer here and there is fine, but stop buying it for your house. Obviously sodas too, if you are into that. Energy drinks once per week, and if you do drink them, drink higher quality ones. Cut it as much as possible.

2. Stop eating after dinner. Don't need any dessert or to keep snacking prior to bedtime.

3. Cut as much sugar as possible. I have a sweettooth and that is tough, but its doable. And if eating sugar, eat "better" sugars. Like, an apple or cup of grapes or something.

4. Eat better fats - snack on nuts during the day, things like that. Or a high quality beef jerky.

Your results could be completely different, but it worked for me. I'd like to lose more, but that is probably where exercise comes in...Also, keep in mind eating healthy is expensive. The world wants you to be unhealthy and dependent on medical care (tin foil hat comment, I know, but I think there is some truth in it). Eating higher quality foods is well worth the cost. And if you can cut out the bad sugars and alcohol, you'll save some money there. Good luck!

How does this post not have a 1000 stars? This epitomizes the OB.
