[CoachBGriff]

Congrats on the weight loss Mike!  That's a battle I'm trying to fight a bit myself right now.

Good luck on the hunt; I hope to see some pics and a cool story soon!

SWEET on the weight loss! you can do it - anyone can do it just discipline to stick to it! lol

Gone from 208 to 175 and beat type II diabetes diagnosis. Crossfit and diet - great stuff.

Wish you alot of luck on the hunt!

Dang Mike, if you keep losing weight it'll be difficult to see you across the tent at Denton Hill. Sounds like you have already lost more weight then you probably every had to lose while wrestling in college. Good luck to you and John on your hunt. Here's looking forward to seeing some great pictures.

Nope never had to cut over 50# for sure.  I think 14 was the biggest I ever did for a wrestling tourney.  Being a 190 pounder had it's advantages.

LOL

May you and John enjoy a safe and most memorable experience as well as a double harvest.

[sheepdogreno]

I love to see anyone doin something for fitness! Be proud and don't stop when the hunt is over!!!

[Bow man]

Can't wait to hear the story Mike

[doubleo]

Good luck on your Moose hunt and weight loss! It wouldn't hurt me to lose a few before deer season!

[wingnut]

Hitting about 10 miles a day now for this week and then tapering off next week to recover and avoid injury.

Under two weeks to go.

Congrats on the personal accomplishment!  Good luck to you guys!!!!!

Hey Mike - When will you be in Tok? I assume, correct me if I am wrong, your flying out of here the 15th up into the Yukon drainage by the dates of your hunt?? I'll probably be up at my cabin when you come up but if I'm around I'll give you a shout. The 28th is too far out for me to know yet where I'll be.

The weather here has begun its cooling down with morning temps around 30 above and daytime temps at around 65 above. We've had a WET summer but the rain has appeared to stop and I hope it stays that way.

Good job on the weight loss.

Good luck boys and be safe .....

Anticipation of the release of the primal instinct is running high.

Mike,
Congrats on the weight loss....everything will feel so much better.  I when from 240 to 190 2 years ago.  Now hover between 190-195.  It's a great feeling donating all those big pants to Goodwill     Looking forward to stories of your hunt with John.

[Possum Head]

 Congrats on your weight loss resolve best wishes on a big bull kill.

[wingnut]

John,

Yep flying out on the 15th and will be in Tok on the 14th at Fast Eddies.

I have a bunch of new and near new camo in XXL sizes that I'll need to clear out soon.  Already
got rid of the other stuff that was huge.

Nice job on the weight Mike, I've lost almost 25 lbs since May myself for my Colorado hunt in a couple weeks.  Feels great,  walking and working out seems so much easier and freer.  My goal was to break 200 and get to 199 (mental thing) It's going to be close.
Good luck in Alaska!

[wingnut]

Now 7 days to go.  Hit 239 pounds on Sunday so I made my objective with a week to spare.  Now to get all these bows wrapped up and pack my stuff.
