Ok me and the pommy neighbours got a few kilo's to lose between us so we've decided to have a little game of "The Biggest Loser" between ourselves. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm already going to the gym 1-2 times a week so my foundation fitness off the bat is reasonable. Doubled with a better diet and ditching the alcohol while increasing my visits to the gym should see results in the weekly weigh in. <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Weighing in at around a hefty 138 kilos at present (304 lbs) so i'm targeting my old playing weight before the ACL injury (120 kg (264 lbs) and from there, who knows? Always carried it well due to the height (6 foot 5 inches) but it's starting to show this last year. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

....and no, i don't play Left Tackle. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So, no alcohol <img src="/images/graemlins/saywhat.gif" alt="" /> and losing weight/increasing fitness is my resolution. Anybody got others? <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Dammit.

Im in the same boat as you Riddler, Lose weight feel great.

I am an unhealthy human as it is.

I need to lose 10-15 pounds which is the easy part...my new years resolution is to keep it off.

Every year this time it creeps up one me. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

i plan on gaining 150lbs. So i can play tackle for the browns! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Grow another 2 1/2 foot too please!

<img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

well im 5'6" But ill be listed at 6' 5" <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Your not Troy smith! <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I am going to drink more! <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

Well a few things I want to do:
1. Add a supercharger to my car <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
2. Reduce the cigarettes I smoke then quit.
3. I need to start running. Since I started my new job I sit at a desk all day, I go to school and sit, and when I get home and study or come on here, sit some mo! Problem with this is time, I never have enough time for what I have to do <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Eat healthy and work out.

Good luck, Riddler! You can do it.

I don't make resolutions because I feel it's a setup for failure (in my case). <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

What will they do? Roll you like a bowling ball?

Hey! anything for the team! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My resolution is to not make any resolutions <img src="/images/graemlins/saywhat.gif" alt="" />

again?

Still <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

I may quit smoking on January 1st.

I'm not sure yet...every year 'better health' makes it on the list though, some years I set a specific weight number, and sometimes I just tailor it down to other goals, figuring it'll all balance out. Last year was my swimming kick. I worked myself up to swimming a mile in 1 hour, then vowed to swim 3 miles a week at the gym accross the street from work...then my workload doubled and I had to cancel my gym membership cuz I never know when I'm even going to get a break, so I landed back on square one....maybe I'll really change things up and pursue my lifelong dream of clog-dancing...or aerobic floor-loom weaving. <img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

...guess I still have some thinking to do about it.

I need to lose about 3 stones...no not kidney stones but weight equal to 60 lbs. At 5'11" I am too old [57] to be carrying this extra weight so the treadmill it is for me. Work up to 60 minutes 5 times per week and it should be gone in about 6-8 months.

I goota tell you guys/gals that when you give up all your vices such as booze,beer,cigarettes,swearing and now junk food it makes for a very cranky but more healthy person.

Not quite sure it is worth the trade off though.!!!

It's just withdrawl...if you fight through it and don't relapse...you'll find your actually happier once it (whatever it is ) get sout of your system.

Now if I could just stay away from these damn chocolate covered cherries...mmmmm lol

Hey, you forgot to add "get the cat neutered for Brownsgirl" to that list! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I hear ya... in the last 12 months I've given up alcohol, caffeine & nicoteine... and I'm now in a foul mood far more often than I ever was before.

I need to really actually follow through on my annual resolution of getting into shape. I've put on too much weight in the last 3 years.

Here comes a membership to my local gym, and a membership to Jenny Craig.

Been off the beer,booze and cigs since 1985...this seems like an awfully long period of withdrawal

Well, I heard it takes some a bit longer than others........ <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ahh yeah I am right ontop of that one <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I do need to do that, I am ready to kill that cat.

Hey Lampy, u smoke Players at all? I get a few cartons to take home with me when I visit. I used to be able to buy them from this tobacco shop by me but they got in trouble for not paying tax on them <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Well I've smoked 'em....I've smoked damn near everything haha!
But they were never "my brand".

Good luck Ralphie, I work out two hours a day six days a week and I'm still fat <img src="/images/graemlins/saywhat.gif" alt="" />

Just an idea GM.. low cal beer maybe?

There is no fat grams in beer <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But the 10,000 calories a month don't help <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think I may cut back on spending. I've bought way too many toys for myself and remodeling projects the last couple years, and now I'm broke. I think I have everything I need anyways except for a new pool table. My old one is a piece of poop and broken.

Get fatter.

Be healthier, fish more, hunt more....

Watch Ricky Rudd win a NASCAR race.....he's back..... <img src="/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
