There is something somewhat ironic about pursuing fitness while pursuing the perfection of outdoor cookery on a BGE! In our 4 months or so we've done little beef, a lot of pork butts shared with others, and 2 sets of ribs. In other words, we've tried to be on the lighter side, with a lot of fish and chicken, and now into the pizza too. I think you can fully utilize the egg without endless ribeyes and pork butts, but it is somewhat of a challenge. At 59, and having weighed 170 8 years ago post my only marathon, I'd crept up to 208 (6'). We had an offer through work to do the Y cheap for 2 months, and wife lost 8, me 18, and yesterday at the end signed up for it. My experience is that just dieting alone won't get it in the long run, I'm hoping that if we stick with the exercise (which we did in past, but somewhere we just lost interest) we can ramp up the menu selections. But, it's all about moderation IMO. Right now, it's sort of, hey, we've worked hard for many years and closing in on retirement, so let's return to a bit healthier patterns so we can enjoy it for as long as we can. I see too many others who sort of let go and then suffer for it. Different subject, but that's the same reason I sold the motorcycle a few years back, seeing others suffer, in many cases through no fault of their own.
