Well, I'm going to bring this long dead thread back to life. I don't know if any Dads are still interested in this thread, but I've got some good news that I'm Peanut Buttery proud of! At my highest weight about a year ago, I was at 242 lbs. I've done a combination of several things, including variations of P90X workouts, playing softball and basketball recreationally, lifting weights, using an elliptical and eating much, much healthier over the last several months. I had been at a plateau for a couple of months now, and this morning I finally broke through the 205 barrier at 204.5 lbs. This is the first time I've been under 205 since high school. I'm going to celebrate with some junk food!!! Or maybe some watermelon.

Great Job Andy!!

Great Job Andy!!

Congrats!!

Thanks guys, I really do feel pretty good right now. The hard part is just going to be staying motivated and not letting myself slip back into bad habits. Seeing the money I've been saving by not eating fast food everyday for lunch helps though.

I don't have any real good suggestions for what you can do with your bad ankle. I'm not sure this thread gets much attention anymore. You might want to start a new thread over in the DIS Dads sub forum. It will probably get a little more attention from more guys facing similar issues.
