Starting last Monday, my boss, one of my coworkers and myself had a wager to see who could lose the most weight (a combination of lb's and BMI) over the next 6 weeks. As of Friday I was down 5 lbs and my competition was down between 3 and 4. We'll see what happens. Keep up the good work!

When one slows down, I can pick up with the other one, and it takes some of the pressure off of me having to make money and %%$%* myself out with my music. That being said... I think it's great that you guys have started a thread on getting back in shape! I'll also weigh in (no pun intended!) on the P90X series... They're a great series of videos that are very well thought out, put together, and professionally shot. Costly, but if it gets you working out, then it's worth it. Whether you use P90X or "Sweatin' to the Oldies" (God forbid), the important thing is to get a routine that's consistent and that works for you and your goals. The benefits of a healthy lifestyle go way beyond lean muscle and fat loss though...working out lowers blood cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, fights degenerative diseases (Osteoperosis, Diabetes, etc.), gives you more energy, lowers stress, wards off heart disease....sorry, I started geeking out ...the point is that it's not just to simply look good, it's for a longer, healthier, and sustainable life. www.drummeretc.com

A pair of 34 pants that I never thought would get around me ever again is fitting fine. Much better than the 38s that I was squeezing into this past winter!

But I am old, and caring less about getting a six pack, but dropping some guttage I picked up since stopping smoking is appealing. As for fitness routines, they are all over DIRECTV, P90X and abdominizer with people who, ironically, are too beautiful and fit to need P90X or abdomizer. My current fave is walking my relatives dog, she is a big Airedale Terrier named Hazel who has the strength of a horse. So the effect is like trotting/walking /stumbling through the woods which takes care of the running portion. My upper body workout comes from constantly pulling her back on a reel leash, sort of like deep sea fishing for tuna. We both took naps afterwards.

Maura likes to eat with me - so over this last year (yes, she has been sick for a year) I've eaten with her - and while she usually doesn't eat much (chemo changes the taste buds drastically and often), it i important for her to keep some kind of weight on. so I've been cooking with tons of butter and have been eating more sandwiches than usual, etc. In the beginning of her illness I lost weight - but now that is back, so I'm pretty much the same tubby dude that is on MD Fest '08. Debbie, Maura loved her ballet classes. If you become dissatisfied with your teacher, let me know via email 'cause i can recommend a really good one. (according to the misses)

While Nicole Eggert is anything but fat, she has put on weight since her "Baywatch" days and the tabloids have been quick to judge. After much abuse from press, Eggert has decided to send a message to her critics: "Call me fat and you die." With the help of the folks from Funny or Die, she put together this video mocking men's idealizations of women and lifeguards in particular. We'd happily have Nicole save us any day!

Always on your case and our age. I'm glad you've got it going! Maura loved her classes and enjoyed the people she met as well. It really helped with her back problems (gone) and general physique.

For those that didn't understand, let me put this in context: Mainely DeVito : No more shines, Billy. Billy Ward: What? Mainely DeVito: I said, no more shines. Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't shine shoes anymore. Billy Ward: Relax, will ya? Ya flip right out, what's got into you? I'm breaking your balls a little bit, that's all. I'm only kidding with ya... Mainely DeVito: Sometimes you don't sound like you're kidding, you know, there's a lotta people around... Billy Ward: I'm only kidding with you, we're having a party, I just came home and I haven't seen you in a long time and I'm breaking your balls, and you're getting !$%@%@ fresh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Mainely DeVito: I'm sorry too. It's okay. No problem. Billy Ward: Okay, salud. Billy Ward: [takes a drink] Now go home and get your %+%#%% r shinebox. Good dog!! MainelyDeVito: Good Dog?... Mother %+%#%% Mutt!'! You, you !$%@%@ piece of %+@! Billy Ward: Hey Debbie! What's right is right. You understand what I'm talking about? Debbie Conway:* It's all right. It's all right. Billy Ward: No. The kid's over here. We're hugging and kissing over here. And two minutes later, he's acting like a !$%@%@ jerk. Debbie Conway: No, no, no, no, no. You insulted him a little bit. You got a little bit out of order yourself. Billy Ward: No I didn't insult him. I didn't insult him. Debbie Conway: I'm sorry. You insulted him a little bit. Billy Ward*: No, I didn't insult nobody. Give us a drink. Give us a drink. and a dogbowl for Mainely.. Last Edited By: Mainely Drummer 10/08/09 17:15:19.

It is my favorite scene in the movie! Cast of Characters Billy Ward is Billy Batts (played by Frank Vincent) Mainely Drummer is Tommy Devitto (played by Joe Pesci) Debbie Conway is Jimmy Conway (played by DeNiro) Sometimes my comedy attempts fail without explanation.. (Sometime WITH explanation!) Only a genius like Scorsese could frame a scene with the music of The Crystals and Donovan and get away with it. Sorry Debbie, you can have your thread back now..
