[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 615485, member: 10327"] I would be the 1st to admit it when I looked like hell...but...I am in the best shape I have been in in the past 10 years or so. You are right about staying the same weight and looking altogether different. I hit about 230, drinking way too much with my blood pressure and cholesterol getting too high. ( I left college at around 180 lbs ) My turn-around started when I stopped drinking alcohol during the week. (I was hitting it way too much) Everything I read about 'empty calories' was pretty acurate. The 1st 15 pounds came off pretty quick and with our job it can melt off if you have the discipline (I don't). So with a slight change in my diet (which is more WHEN I eat as opposed to WHAT) The other 15 came off s l o w l y and I am back in the same size clothes I wore from 17 years of age til about 34. More importantly though my fat% came down. The 'normal' range is from 9-17% and I came in at about 19%. I only know this because I had it done a month ago. Which leads me to this... Based on my doctors BMI chart, I am supposed to weigh between 132 and 167. I am not, NOT, what you would call fat. I am not running a marathon any time soon but I doubt anyone would say I am overweight at all. I am about 5-11 and will never weigh even close to those guidelines. I was an RB in college with a mesomorph build. Getting old is not for sissies...:angry: [/QUOTE]
