Inspiring Stories

[Non-Typical Solutions]

I have truly enjoyed this site through the years. Many stories have inspired me in many different ways.

Getting invloved with wildlife projects.

Wanting to get better at shooting.

Prompting me to try and hold out this year for a "bigger" buck.

 

But this time it is different. I read TAM's article about his loner hunt and how he prepared for it. I even messaged him and asked questions about how he got in shape.

 

After reading, getting some pointers from TAM and making an agreement with my son Cole. I dove in and started losing weight.

 

It wasn't that I was just, huge big, I just knew I was packing about 30-35 extra pounds that I wanted to get rid of.........

 

Cole was wanting to wrestle 106 and I was wanting to go from 165 down to 135ish..........

 

I haven't seen 135 for about 35 years, graduated from high school weighing a whopping 125.

 

 

Yesterday I weighed 136...........Cole has been wrestling 106........and honestly I feel lots better.

Helped me quit snorring at night which helped me out with my wife........

 

So thanks TAM for your inspiring story..............and to all you out there who make this the only site I go to for reading and info regarding just about anything............

Wrestling practice started October 1st I think.......I told Cole I wouldn't eat any junk if he wouldn't. That makes for a tough deer hunt I tell you but we survived it.

 

I also used a program called calorie counter to help me choose better food and portion size.

Great Job. Helps give me motivation to keep at it. 10 pounds in 2 months. Even over the holidays. Have lots more to go though.
