What was the secret for the weight loss?

 

[CoverDog]

Doc, where did you go, there's only half of you there !!! You just added another 10 years to your shooting life. I'm taken good care of "Blue Bug" the 6mm Coyote I bought from you last year.

I posted a topic in this section on rifle weight, I believe the most important aspect of our sports is not the rifle, ammo or ammo prep. but the conditioning and prep of the shooter. Hunters, competition shooters and just casual shooters all can be benefit from taking a good look at their own health and see great rewards from a little more prep time on the shooter. I am fairly young(41) but 15 yrs. of office work took its toll. I now work outdoors and can not wait to run up the face of the mountain on October 15th..........

Doc congrates you are an inspiration to people who may think ,oh well I just can not do it anymore. Thats B.S. why sit on a couch wishing when you can get out and do. just my humble opinion.......

Congrats VD( :)! Great shooting and looks like lots of low fat meat! Keep it up and God bless.

Loosing 140 lb. is, as you well know...huge. Congratulations on that, and what it has allowed you to do.

Ole Voldoc has really worked hard getting in tip top shape. He is as energetic
as someone half his age.
And if you ever need someone to be your spotter at 1,000 yds. plus, Voldoc is
a seasoned veteran and there is no one who can do it better.

Always look forward to your posts- well done.

 

[jonbearman]

I am struggling with weight gain from massive steroids.You are truly a winner .Expiper you keep getting into shape as I will continue to pray for you as you made it possible for me to get bit by the benchrest bug.

 

[toothman]

I love the heart-felt camaraderie on this Forum! Feel like I "know" all you guys.

 

[voldoc02]

Thanks so much for the kind remarks=
Ole VolDoc had literally reached the end of the line
with Diabetes, hypertension (high BP) and hyperlipidemia
(high blood fats) = meds would no longer work=
diet restrictions did not work =
I had Gastric By-pass surgery Dec. 27, 2011=
I have now lost 140 lbs and no longer need to
take any Meds for the above mentioned maladies=
Best part is I'm now 64.5 years old and feeling
and acting like 35 again=
thank you Lord=
thankful for Blessings=
Drastic measure not to be considered w/o
total commitment=
thanks again Friends=
