Hey keep it up. I did the same thing. Quit smoking, after about a year of not smoking (4-1-08), set to losing the weight. Lost nearly 48 lbs. Gained some back during this xmas though... lol

I did about the same thing, though it was much longer time ago. Quit smoking in April of 98, packed on the pounds for the next few months, then when I was miserable enough with that, I started hitting the gym hard and heavy. Those know me can testify that for a while there, I was pretty rotund!

Yeah, I'm definitely not giving up. Wife would be pissed!

Even if I don't shed the pounds, at least I'll be the stronger for it... Literally!

Go ahead, coach... Come talk to me about that call. *Puffs chest like Popeye after a whole tub of spinach*

Damn, Wade. That's a pretty precise scale you have. Was it 47.8 pounds? 47.9?

Supposedly, my scale is accurate to within .2 pounds.

I'm still a bit of a fatty, though.

I don't think it was mentioned, but CONGRATS guys on quitting smoking! I have seen many battle it and fail, so it is definately something to be proud of. As far as working out to stay in shape or loose a few pounds, I have found routine to be the key. After getting into it, now you feel bad if you don't work out. Makes you feel great on the ball field too.

Eat a bug, spammer.

Probably does for the high protein.

However, when I lost my 50+ pounds last year, there was not an extra bead of sweat shed. No workouts, no runs, no long walks, just watched what, how much and when I ate.

So, if the spammer accidently takes a dumbell to the mouth, does that make him/her a cannibal? Hmmmm.
