I know Rocky, but I aint asking for a miracle, just for some advice. I know that walking will strip it off faster than anything else. Howsomever with my weight it is hard to walk when it is as hot as it is even now, and the treadmills at the company wellness center have a 225lb limit. . . . . .

Any ideas? I have been trying to do knee bends/squats (Ever heard a knee crack like a gunshot? Thats my timer for how many I can do) I have tried working on Tai Chi (Yes I took a class on traditional Tai Chi in College, it works when you stick with it which I didn't unfortunantly) but again so much weight I cannot really get the range of movement required to do any good. Setups, yet again, only seem to test how far I can lift my 40+ yeard old cast iron and oak couch with the hide-a-bed in it with my feet (approx 8 inches btw) Stationary bikes at the wellness center are mostly the kind with the peddles in front of you, which is great so long as you don't have a big belly. . . . . and are not short legged. . . . . The rest of them are set for somebody approximately 7' 9" and also have a 225lb weight limit. I can lift free weights, but there are only two benches and they are usually in use.

I vow here and now that if I can find a way to do so I will loose at least 70lbs by Christmas!

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
