Anyone looking to shed 'a few' pounds this year? If you've succeeded it in
the past, want to share your story?

After reaching a safe altitude push the yoke (or stick) forward. The
faster and more forcefully you push it the more weight you will lose.
Unbuckle your seat belt and this weight loss method can be quite
enjoyable.

Seriously, I started running several years ago. Decided I wanted to do
a marathon after my wife did one. Now I run several days a week and am
usually training to shave more time off of the spring marathons I
annually run in Austin and Houston.
Before I started running I ate trash and weighed over 200 pounds. Now
I hover around 160 year-round. I feel better than I ever have. I eat
sensibly and do not idolize food. I don't eat much junk.
There are no secrets or quick-fixes to successful weight loss. It
really is a very simple plan but possibly the most difficult thing
you'll ever do. Eat less, eat well and exercise.
