UPDATE (finally!)
I slowed down over the Thanksgiving holiday, got off track with all the delicious food and wine and beer available for the week following also but I'm still committed and I have a couple of goals to drive me now: 1) I want to be the Incredible Hulk for Halloween next year, and I met a costume/props guy who said he would do the green body latex for my costume. Needless to say, I need to be JACKED to pull that off.
2)I found a hang gliding school in my city, and I really want to get my glider pilot license but I weigh too much to get up on anything except a tandem glider right now. Once I'm under 200 I can literally FLY!
Anyway, that's a ways off in the future, but that's where I have my sights set.
As of today, I weigh 242 lbs. (Still on the way down, but I need to pick up the pace!)

Well let me first start out by saying that is awsome that you are trying to change for the better. I can say that I quit smoking cold turkey almost a year ago. The way I did it was get an ounce or two depending on you tolerance. Instead of smoking a cig every time I craved one, I smoked a joint, then you got those people that say well right after I smoke I like to smoke a cig cuz it gets me higher or whatever the excuse is. Well heres a thought rather than smoking that cig smoke another joint or another bowl. After the fourth day it was a cake walk for me, and believe me it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, this just shows if you are determined enough it will happen. I am not going to say that this will work for you ren but its a point in the right direction of your health and wellbeing. Just to let you know I smoked for 10+ the hardest part of the wole thing was waking up drinking my coffee and not having a cig, but like I said now I can drink my coffee and smoke a good wake and bake bowl and I am fine. As far as the weight thing goes I have been 125 5" 9 since I was in the sixth grade so I have no advice except keep up the good work and I hope this helps you out a bit.

Nice ren. It is more than possible for you to achieve those goals in that time frame. Stay positive and stick with it

Thanks guys!
I thought I said something about it in my post, but I re-read, and found that I didn't mention that its been 12 days since my last smoke!

Squats are a major lift though! I remember back in high school rockin' the 500 lb squat. I can't even consider doin' that nowadays.
I'm on track still over here, and got some new running shoes as a Christmas present...they'll be here today:

You wouldn't think so, but they are fantastic if you run with proper technique. Feel like a kid again too...just out running around barefoot.

I bet it would really take some getting used to with those toe sleeves (or w/e they're called). Good to hear you're still on track!

Very interesting pair of running shoes you got there. I have never seen anything like it.
Could we get a product review once you get a chance to strap'em on?
They look like they could be very comfortable to run in. I need any excuse I can get to start joggin.

I've been running in these for the past 3 years. You have to alter your running style a bit from what most people do: You land on the ball of your foot prior to your heelstrike; most people are used to a two part foot strike (heel-toe) but this is a three parter (ball-heel-ball) and its how your body was designed to run. Also, traditional shoes are so supportive now, that the foot's stabilizer muscles atrophy, leading to a higher incidence of injury. Barefoot running (or in these shoes) I could literally see a muscle mass increase in my FEET.
The product is great, but you have to get the right size or you'll get blisters...moreso than in regular shoes. I'll never run in anything else.

UPDATE: Alright, I've been a bitch about this thread, but I want to give you guys an update that I now weigh 219 lbs! I'm shedding weight like a fiend right now, and I've got a great weekly workout that is all body weight and explosive motion based, I'm feeling a million times better, and I haven't had a cigarette since Thanksgiving.
I'll post my workout sometime soon so you guys can see what I'm doing.

WOW! 35 pounds dropped so far! Congrats buddy, are you going to keep chugging until you get back around 190? or shoot for even lower?

190 is the first goal, then I'm gonna focus on endurance as opposed to explosive movement. I think doing endurance training will probably continue pushing me down into the realm of 180 lbs, but that puts me at about 10% body fat so I don't want to go much lower than that.
