Thanks buddy. The main goal is to feel better so you can live better. I don't know how much farther you have to go to be completely fit weight wise,but when you get to the point that you can exercise more and more,it will really kick in how good you feel.

I still have some bad days,but my bad days are about as good as my good days use to be and my good days are much better than any I've had in 20 years. I had some sciatica pain today. Probably from doing too many Dragonfly sit ups yesterday,on my weight bench. I was on the elliptical a long time too at it's highest setting and I sprinted up hill about 100 yards twice. That's besides the 35 lb dumbells I use to weight train. I basically rested today from exercise but worked on my back and got it feeling better doing some stretching.

I want you to keep us updated in this thread or another. I'm about to start one and show ya'll a picture or two. You see,I'm real small now probably, compared to most men my height and age. I'm now 51 years old and 6'2 215 lbs and wear a 32/32 Jeans and Large shirt. I actually see myself as still fat,and I do have a little roll on my gut that I want to work on but mostly I want to get healthy.

Anyway,I guess because I still see myself as a little fat and because I haven't really looked at a lot of before pictures of myself, I about broke down today when I tried on a pair of last years hunting pants. Only deer season before last these pants were getting too tight on me. They were tight enough that I couldn't wear long insulated underwear under them any more. I put them on today and it finally hit me how big I had been.I'll post ya'll a picture hopefully soon,but I actually put both my legs in one leg of those pants and pulled them up to my waist with both my feet sticking out the bottom. Both of my legs together now were about the size of what I had been before.
