Salvo Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I started Geocaching about 2 months ago and it has REALLY made an impact on my life. I've lost 15 pounds, 5 inches off my waist, have firmed up, and feel much more active and healthier. My wife's pleased with the results too, as we've spent more time together outside and with the kids too! (I have 4 boys and 7 girls) I've also been introduced to a wide variety of neat parks and trails that I'd otherwise have never known about. Quote Link to comment
+Desert_Warrior Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 With 11 kids, how did you have the time to put on any weight??? Can you afford food??? Congrats on the health. It has done about the same for me. In the army I could run 6 miles in 50 minutes, 13 miles in just under 2 hours, and hike 12 miles in 3 hours, with gear, and all at 4000 ft ASL. Being retired 8 years has taken its toll. Geocaching has had a positive impact on my health also. I am afraid my marathon days are over, but I do not have one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel yet either. Carry on.... Mike. KD9KC El Paso, Texas. Quote Link to comment
+shybabe924 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Whoa...I'm thinkin about 7 kids! I have one, and can barely handle her! I started caching in October, I think...but I was only finding like 1 cache every other week...then I started caching more often. I would go after 6-10 a day with my geobuddy. As of March, I had lost 33 lbs since geocaching! That made me wanna go more and more, but my fear of snakes has me holed up right now First sign of hibernation or winter...I'll be caching more often again though!
