Last fall, I decided to get serious once more. Started at 242 and set a goal of 232 by Christmas and beat it by 2 pounds. Didn't gain any weight over Thanksgiving or Christmas, but slacked off a bit after the New Year and am back at 232. My goal for my birthday in May is 212, and hopefully 200 by the end of the year.
I don't have any real desire to get all buff (it would be too hard to keep all the ladies away!
), but it will be nice to get back into some 34 waist jeans once again. I'm already seeing the 36s getting a bit looser and the 38s have been gone for a while.No real big changes in lifestyle - just more exercise, smaller portions and no late night snacking binges. An almost exclusively venison diet helps with that quite a bit.
