Thanks everyone! I appreciate the thoughts/advice. A huge part is making the actual decision to do something about all of this and then not giving up, I know that. I need to stop making excuses, get off my butt and just do it.

My current snacks consist of anything I can find in the cupboard or buying some sort of candy/pop tart at our work cafe. Other snacks have been ice cream, granola bars, fruit snacks, pudding, random bowls of cereal, etc.

So any other healthy ideas are welcome.

In your defense spanky... and for what it's worth... even when you do post something meaningful (to you), every thread you start reads like worthless drivel.

Hank, most people on here come to laugh, argue, talk cigars, and in general have a good time. Most people here post in a different manner than you do. This is a cigar forum. Not a self help forum. Read ewoks post. There is good natured laughter, him included. I doubt anyone here expects you to change, nor do they expect others responses to you to change.

Any and generally all lose weight quickly programs will not work in the long run. I would start with realistic and easy exercises. Start by walking 5 miles every day; rain or shine. Then add in some weight lifting and cardio. As you start to gain muscle mass and lose some weight you can increase your level and intensity of exercise. Start with realistic goals and go slow to avoid injury and make long term positive changes. I think anyone is setting themselves up to fail if they try to lose 40#'s in a month. It's just not sustainable.

I'm not a doctor or physical trainer but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. 🌫

shut off cbid, and probably twelve other forums, and I believe you will have time to move your azz around enough to sweat off some fat.

and toughen up for Cripe's sake. You have a family. feel like dying young?

shut this thing off now. Come back in 30 pounds, we'll be just fine.

Frank, you are like a genius!

Hank,step away from the keyboard and spit out that chit you got in your mouth. Sometimes you gotta suck it up and eat your veggies and healthy snacks..........IF IT TASTES GOOD, SPIT IT OUT!!!!!! Walk, you got 4 kids, take them outside and run and throw a ball around, play hide and seek with them.
There are loads of healthy snacks and protein shakes.......ask your Dr. for some ideas.
Google healthy eating, diets, whatever.........do something productive with your computer instead of coming here and getting all butthurt and calling people cigar snobs and communists. Join Planet Fitness or the YMCA
Why do you need to come here for that kind of advice? Your wife can't answer some of these questions for you?

Don't you realize everyone here has their own life and their own issues to deal with? I hate to make decisions myself, but I have never come to c-bid and asked what color socks I should wear today,if any, or should I brush my teeth in a circular motion or back and forth? Damn, grow a pair and control your own life. Decide what you want and need and don't come here and ask us how you should live your life...............Damn!!!🐴 [frypan] 😣

That could apply to several other members and myself as well.

Wait..you got 4 kids and you're still fat? That just makes you a lazy slob, then. Seriously...anyone with 4 kids should......A. Be getting plenty of exercise playing with them, and B. Making sure THEY have plenty of food before you eat. Go play with your kids and STFU.

The kids are 5,4,2,2. Playing with them doesn't take much energy. And they get plenty of food...considering how much gets thrown away after we beg them to eat for an hour every meal.

Start a new life IN CRIME....

THEN...

COMMIT CRIMES...

THEN WORRY ABOUT GETTING CAUGHT...

THEN GO INTO A DEEP DEPRESION...

LOSE
AROUND 1/3 of your current weight because of the physiology of clinical depression...

Loss of almost all appetite
Loss of sleep

Equals you GETTING back to around 160-170 LBS
