Last year I dropped 40 lbs by trail running and eating better. Over the winter I added about 15 lbs back. Just got started back and looking forward to hitting some trails again. I'm planning on running on some public ground nearby that I can hunt. Hopefully I can gain some intel while losing my beer gut.
Let's go! I'd say I can easily run 100 yards right now!Gets tough in the winter for sure lol. If you need a running partner let me know. I need to do more of it. I’m sitting at 34lbs down and feeling pretty dang good

I do lawn and landscape maintenance, so I'm pretty active in the summer. I dropped 40+ lbs last year and have been able to keep it of so far. I'm going to do all my scouting with all my hunting gear plus 10 extra lbs so come hunting season my set should feel light in comparison to what I packed in the off season.

I'm convinced that just hiking a few times a week with a weighted pack helps a ton. I hiked all last summer with around 50lbs on my back and cleaned up my diet a little and the weight just fell off. I went into hunting season feeling awesome and my pack with my regular hunting gear felt like nothing compared to the 50lb pack lol.
I agree. I used to hike or scout almost every day after work. It wasn't working out because it was fun. Then a new job with new hours and the baby came and I've been struggling to find a routine.I'm convinced that just hiking a few times a week with a weighted pack helps a ton.

I agree I also know that no matter how hard I worked all summer long while my diet was garbage my results were garbage. The hardest thing for me to do is the eat right. I'm not a big fan of fruits and vegetables so I really have to work at keeping the trash out of my diet, but this is what has helped me the most!I'm convinced that just hiking a few times a week with a weighted pack helps a ton.

Wow you guys make me jealous. I have been working out for about 15 months doing some full body weight training 3x and cardio twice a week. I started really light on the weights and worked my way back up to heaver stuff. Prior to 15 months ago I had not seen or thought of a gym in 20 plus years. I feel better and stronger but have seen very little difference in the scale. I am hoping to make progress this year with weight loss but I have been sick on off since the beginning of the year and it has really messed up my gym time. Stinks have a wife that works in med office, she brings everything home for me to get sick from. Yet Somehow she never gets sick.
