I hear you LOUD N CLEAR..

I could just say 'been there, done that' but for me more like 'been there, STILL there'.

Just too busy and too lazy to do much about it.

More lazy than busy I guess.

My TV in my 'personal room' of the house just died.

The Tread Mill is a few feet away from it and has its own TV on it.

Maybe it's some kind of omen to make me go from 'couch potato' to 'steamed potato'..lol..

You think?

Too funny! And man, can I relate!

We have an Eliptical and the most work I've done on that thing is repairing it for my wife.

It is really time for me to do something. I am 6' 1" tall and when I met my wife 17 years ago I was in great shape and weighed 195 pounds. I now tip the scales at 260.

Don't feel lonely.. I'm 6'2" and weigh in at 270.. I have plenty of spare tire.. I gave up on trying to get to a lesser weight.. I tried for years back in the 90's but no matter what I did my body would adjust metabolism and return me to the 250-270 range.

It came to a head when I went extreme trying to lose weight and managed to get down to 180 by exercising like mad and eating nothing but 1 small meal a day. Even at that level my weight went back up to 250 over the course of a couple of months and at that point I started passing out because I wasn't taking in enough food to support a 250 pound frame.

Whether I eat nothing and exercise a ton, or eat everything in site and sit in my recliner, I stay at and around the 250 mark.. So I just gave up and eat what I want. I still exercise a bit, but I don't go overboard.
