Good luck!  My weight gain came with the kids and an outside sales job requiring lots of entertaining...losing it is much harder than putting it on!

Great,I lost about 40 lbs 3 years ago and feel better than I have in years, I feel like a lean mean fighting machine. It is tough keeping it off but so far I have managed.  Good luck on yours.

from what i have read pappy that it takes up to 5 years for your body to get use to the changes thats why people rebound so fast they dont let there bodys take the time to adjust to the changes

leapingbare i am 27  i never thought i would have gottn that out of shape at a young age but i did it is odd how it can sneak up on you lol

Skyarrow, did you really put on 65 lbs. in 2 weeks - or was that a typo? 
It's awesome that you are working to get it off.  I put on about 25 lbs. over the past couple of years because I'm no longer running 20-30 miles per week but I've dropped 10 of that since the new year and would like to get another 5 off while maintaining my muscle.  There are so many great exercise programs out there - have you taken a look at crossfit?  Some great ideas in exercise science.  Get yourself a giant old tire and train with that using different exercises.  The sledgehammer is a real workout.  Anyhow - congratulations on getting on top of it so it doesn't have long term effects.

Well done Sky'  and best of luck for the work ahead of you!!  I ain't the most active guy on the planet, partly cos of a dodgy knee but mostly cos I hate sports.  I could do with dropping a few pounds though...  Maybe taking up trapsing around the countryside, putting the pointy end of arrows into things, will help to trim me down a little. 

Though a few steaks of whatever I manage to skewer on the journey might counter the effort

i could probably stand to put on about 15 pounds.  been the same size for the last 10 years.  i dont eat a whole lot, my girlfriend can out eat me!  but i stay full and try not to eat too much junk food, but dr pepper is my enemy!  way to go!
