Great job Plaidman!
I lost 32 when I left the Pacific Northwet and moved to AZ.
In the last 5 years I have gained about 10 back, 155 was pretty light for me.

Maybe I should move to AZ! No maybe it's a greater challenge staying here and getting it done.
As I lose more weight I hope to get the FFA of this:

Less M (mass) can lead to more CS (climbing success).....< M = > CS. Some archaeologists date this formula to the Anasazis. I believe it comes from the DB (Dale Bard) era..

I am ON the path of fitness! Thx for the atta boy Mark. It goes a long way.
I never did have the eating thing down. I am learning everyday how to do it better. And I am finding if I put good stuff into my body I get good stuff out. Like a clear mind and lot's of energy. I have my ups and downs, but mostly up!

Plaidman, Proud of yo Dude. Few stick it.
Learned that as you exclude the junk food and fast food from your diet, when you do eat it......Body says, "please no!" And when you do partake of the grease, sugar, etc. Body says, "Dude are yo trying to hurt me?"
After a while the fast foods and the huge realm of empty food (and drink)only tempt you when you are hungry and haven't been eating the 6 small Healthy meals a day and keeping hydrated. Water is muy importanta.
Cheering for you and Super glad for your reports. Lynnie

Hey Plaid,
You end up going to Smith last weekend? Sorry I couldn't make it. Thanks for the invite though! Good job on the fitness track. I'm doing the same thing right now. Moving to Colorado beginning of June and want to be in top Alpine Shape. Living in Florida right now doesn't give me many opportunities for elevation.
Was suppose to climb at Laurel Knob NC this weekend, but got rained out again...Now its just lots of squats and time on the erg (rowing machine) so I can handle the approaches!
Have a good one!
Wade

@Mark - Goal weight 176 for the first phase. then
Then I plan on getting down to 165. Not sure I can go lower. I will have to when I get there. My old personal trainer said I could get to 155. Sure would be wild. Taking it all in stride. First goal 1st.

Down 20 pounds this morning. 196. Shooting for 176. It is coming off and in the meantime I am working out like a fiend. Getting stronger. Feeling a whole lot better with eating right. No junk.
Went to a new area and gave the new bod' a test run. Super fun. Flying up overhanging routes and dynoing to holds on faith. It's sure is easier climbing lighter.
Sure am looking forward to Facelift and the month of Oct. I'll get that route on El Cap and maybe the Steck Salathe too. Maybe a NIAD run. And a route on Half Dome. Then there is Crest Jewel. Oh to be in THE VALLEY! Super Stoked!
