[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1514942, member: 7488"] My wife is not a big fitness freak, so I have to be careful with how I approach things. Lately we have been walking 5 days a week. She carries my daughter in a [URL="http://www.mobywrap.com/"]wrap[/URL] and I tow my son in the Radio Flyer. We usually get in a couple miles each time. This gives her some exercise, but conceals it as family time so she doesn't get all bent out of shape and awkward about it. We don't calorie count, but since moving back to Tulsa last year we have have been able to eat more at home. Simply preparing your own food makes things mucho healthier, especially with you live off the grill for 10 months of the year. Chicken breast, lean pork (like loin and tenderloin), fish, occasional lean beef (like sirloin) and lots of fresh vegetables actually trim your calories pretty well on their own. Got rid of all cream-based salad dressings as well as they are just liquid fat calories. I worked from home which coworkers thought would cause me to snack constantly. In fact, I ate healthier at home and lost 15 pounds last year. I am still around 190 (at 5'10") but this summer I plan to drop a pound a week (May through September) to get down to 165-170. That should be a good weight for my height. The thread has inspired me to make a small change today. I drink an occasional soda (3-5 a week) but also iced coffee (McDonald's over-sugared and delicious!) and sweet tea. Going forward, nothing more than water and black coffee for me. Period. Beer and liquor only on the weekends/holidays/vacations :) [/QUOTE]
