| | Try doing a pushup for every minute you spend in SYM. That should reduce your weight drastically.

| | | Diet? Huh.. wah?
Yeah Im with you my friend I need to shed about 20 lbs.
In highschool I surfed everyday and wrestled for my school for three years. I was cut, now IM a computer administrator and hardly find the time to see the beach let alone surf.
Im about 5'8 5'9 on a good day and with my alchohol habits Im weighing in a good beer gut of 178. I wanna be down to my skinny self of 145 but thats real bad for me now so Im going to aim for a good 150-155. I think Kayless's Idea of slimfast, while I believe in no trick diet, I might start doing something along the lines. As well as skating more often and walking to certain places instead of driving.
I think if you hate excercise think of alternative ways of working it into your life, for instance yesterday I could have begged someone for a ride home which would have worke dbut I decided to just enjoy the (HOUR AND A HALF) walk. Well thats a bad example cause that walk sucked hehe... but anyhow think about stuff like "Get a new book a week, but walk to the bookstore" Its just a tad bit of excersise but the more you tack onto the more you do.
Be creative.

I am one of those people who stops eating during stress, and I think my metabolism increases as well.... *roll eyes*
Hmmm ... maybe you could make your love life truly complicated (which would also increase the sheet surfing )
Then you could insult your boss and get yourself fired from your job.. In addition to the resulting stress..the running around looking for another would most certianly help....

| | @DW...LMAO....*HUG* Great advice LOL.....
In all honesty, Listen to Than...he is on the money...text book stuff....
but in addition, and this is from a person who has been up and down the scales more than Opra,  ,
The best, and safest way to get in shape I have ever found, is
1. Do NOT 'diet'. but rather eat a healthy and ballanced diet as your habit. and
2.Get moving:
( I too recomend the aerobic benifits of "sheet-surfing" )
But when you do, make it a lifestyle thing. Get up, turn off the TV, and go play frizbe with the dog, hike around the lake, go rock climbing, pump iron, take up SCUBA, learn to Two Step, build that deck out back.play touch football with the co-eds at a local college on the weekends.......
Basicaly, what I am trying to say is this:excersise does not have to be boring, repetitive stair steppers, or "Jane Fonda Workout" Tapes, (although You may enjoy watching them while you drink you beer after you get back from hang-gliding
Just take smaller bites of the cheeseburgers, and bigger bites out of life

| |  Oooppps, sorry about that...
...I just wanted to be sure that I'm not contributing to the "delinquencies" of the minors...
Horizontal-sheet surfing... I liked the sound of that! 
...better surf the horizontal sheet than go and fly kites and kill kittens.

| @Scayde: re (1) - see my reply to Rob...
re (2) - I HAVE tried nearly everything you listed - except SCUBA diving - but that's on my "to do" list. - BUT I'm working 8 to 5 - PLUS commuting 1 hour in each direction and I want to see my children before they're asleep.... that leaves me with weekends for sports - and that'S where "housework" sets in... (swimmingpool, gardening...) . I just can't keep up a regular schedule for working out - because I can't make the time for it without cutting down on something I LIKE DOING WAAAAY MORE. Any ideas ?

And then there's of course the local specialities ...
@Phantom Lord: I'm sorry for you...but that's not an option for me - the same goes @DW - I have my share of stress (I'm a stress-eater BTW...) - and that's mostly why I don't find the time for exercising....
@All: I thank you all for your comments, and please keep it up - if nothing else I'm using you guys (and the gorgeous gals of course ) for moral support... 
No worries,

| | Hehe, of course I also got fired recently (altough for personal reasons I had to take my boss down with me - in fact I even saw him leaving before me). And I certainly made my love live as complicated as I can think of. The funny thing is that these circumstances did not lead to stress - since toying around with new ideas - especially about a new woman and a new job - felt a lot like being reborn. The only stress-factor in this context is my phonebill ...
A serious weight loss only happened when I didn't eat during those two weeks I was suffering from massive heartbreak. Drinking no alcohol for a limited period of time thereafter in order to recover from feeling good again and party too many days in row seemed to work too.
Btw, another thing I read is that completely avoiding sugar can lead to weight loss of 18 kg within one year.

| | Well sometimes gaining weight is just as or more healthy then losing weight. I think when I was in the best shape, it was when I was preparing for my season as an offensive tackle for football, and during the season aswell...but I was gaining weight instead of losing it. Thats because I spent every other day in a weight room just lifting. I may still be slow, but I certainly became strong and more fit, IMO then the days I spent on the damn treadmill. Lifting weights is actually fun...those exercise machines....well....

@Tybbs: I was working out at the local gym when I was still dancing (back in the olden days.. ) . I used to dance in a Latin Formation (sp ?) team.... and I had to lift my partner when we did our "Dirty Dancing"-ripoff mambo...**sigh**....and this way I can tell you - it's no problem if you're slow - as long as you've got the power to deliver the second punch in any brawl with sufficient force to stop the brawl then and there... .

| | OK, @Scayde. Especially for YOU....
Here's the picture that started my current demise in weight....
It's taken at the island of KOS (Greece) in the summer of 1995.
I was weighing about 186 lbs then....(opposed to 210 lbs. in 2002).. .
My change of mind came just when I was looking at my old Holiday pics from back then....
Here we go - No worries, I'm fully clothed on this one...
Beldin
PS: No I don't have a better pic of me....
