way to go man. im seventeen and played football sence 7th grade, but the other day i was breaking stuff for fire wood and tried to pick up a piece of telephone pole to drop on the pallet to break it, and i couldnt get it up to my chest.  :o ;D

anyway, i know its hard to get back in shape, but if you stick to it the results are oh so satisfying.  ;D

Right on Skyarrow, good for you for the hard push and determination.  I have been in that battle myself and I'm finding it harder then it's ever been. I've always been very fit and in excellent shape. I was a gymnast for seven years and competed in college against some of the best. Stayed on daily work outs all my life, but hitting 45 the surgeries started and after seven surgeries in 3 years I'm frustrated with how much I've lost in muscle and have the handles for the first time in my life.  I'm now doing physical therapy twice a week and trying very hard to get some tone back but it's been a huge battle. Three back surgeries have left me with constant and often severe back and hip pain. Seems the routine has become therapy then two or three days recovery then therapy ,,,,,,,,you get the picture.
 I know I have to push through things, especially with the more sedate life that I am now leading and would like to say thanks for your courage to post the thread. It's encouraging to read that others have and are working toward the same goals and things like what Pappy wrote about feeling better with the weight off are inspirational. I know that once I get back to where I want to be I'll feel better.

I know how that goes, I was 170# at 29 yo when I broke my leg on the job, then I shot up to 200 in 6 weeks.  I had been 200 before, but that was when I lived at the gym, not laid up on the couch.  I was 205 when I joined the Army a year later, and they only managed to get me down to 190 in Basic.  The rest of the time I've been at least 200, sometimes up to 230.  It wasn't a struggle staying around 200 when I was younger, but now in my 40s, it's a little harder.  I ran my 2 miles the other day, a full 3 minutes slower than I did when I was 35, but I seem to do the same amount of pushups I always have.  Go figure.

  Good for you, keep it up. I went from 140 to 150 when I quit smoking 25 years ago. I've kept that ten pounds ever sense. Never gained anymore either. But I stay pretty active.
