It isn't about working out more....it is about eating less.
If that's from P90X, he's probably shredded. I'm not worried about his ability to hold up. He's still going to punish defenders...when he's not separating and running away from them.
Here's what a slimmed down Eddie can do:
So no, I don't think him being this slimmed down will be an issue.

I'm such a lazy f**k
You're also not 25 years old anymore.
Contract year. Color me surprised...
So much more burst. Makes it look like he was running with a 40lb backpack this season.

Good to know yourself.
Here's Eddie in late February working out in Jackson Hole, WY

Does he weigh enough now?
Well this should be good for another 13 pages.
Can't wait for training camp.

There are few plays in football more enjoyable to watch, and more satisfying, than a RB just laying the wood to a defender.
The best ones are at:

C'mon and bring it, Eddie!

Agreed. Stop the underweight talk. It's silly.
Eddy's ready, and it bodes well.

He does look like he's going for 2 on a regular basis now.

Eddie Lacy's so skinny, he has to wear a belt with spandex.

It's about eating the right things, especially for an athlete. He doesn't need weight watchers, he needs to know how to eat and eat like a mother****er while training
Eddie looks good. No more complicated than calories in and calories out and probably a good nutritionist is all he really needed.
When an athlete, like anyone else, allows himself to become significantly over weight it always about one thing, calorie intake. Yes, nutrition, etc. comes into play to obtain peak performance, but for pure weight loss nothing can come close to calorie restriction.
From Phat Eddie to Flat Eddie?
Eddie's so skinny he hula-hoops with a cheerio
Eddie is so skinny the Olsen Twins called and said they want their eating disorder back.
Eddie is so skinny, he has to run around in the shower to get wet.

Now that is pretty darn funny!
Eddie is so skinny that if stood sideways and stuck out his tongue he would look like a zipper
I just hope he's happier. Do you think he was happy being heavy? Or is he happy now, being thinner. What was his weight in college? Will he be as effective being this weight? Yikes.....
Cuqui, is that Jeffrey Dean Morgan in that pic too???
That's an interesting 'theory', Goldie.
Adding all the stories written about him since he came to Green Bay to the way last year unfolded, to his apparent 'turn-around' this off-season, it does seem that he has a relatively fragile psyche.
I would also think his 'inner happiness' has a large influence on his 'outer' happiness, and agree that a happy Eddie is a good thing for him and the Packers.
To me, the fact that he is out doing things (both pictures posted in the past months have shown him with people away from home) is a positive. The article shortly after we drafted him portrayed him as a kid who was a bit of a recluse, whose favorite hobbies were sleeping, watching cartoons, & eating. As for Goldie's question, he was 200 pounds when he came to Alabama, 234 pounds at the combine, probably 240 at his first Packer camp, & probably 255 or more last season. I think he could play very effectively at 220-230. A practice video during this past season showed the RBs going through the "rope drill"....even at that weight Lacy's feet were significantly quicker than Starks'. The guy has great talent, plays hard on game days, just has to become more disciplined with his eating and activity levels to be at his best.
If you are eating properly, real, not processed food in the proper ratios..about 45% protein, 30% fat (good fat, not trans fats), 25% carbs AND you are working out, you will lean down pronto...and you will never be hungry...in fact, the athletes I know never count calories, they count grams of protein, fats and carbs. And if they are trying to build muscle, they often find they have a hard time getting their 6 meals a day in...they have to force themselves to eat.
I am betting Eddie's biggest problem wasn't lack of working out, but choosing to eat biscuits and gravy, cheeseburgers and ice cream over grilled salmon, spinach and brown rice.
The fuel you put in the tank determines how well the race car runs...and the older you get, the more it's true. That's why a lot of athletes over 30 are going with the paleo diet because it significantly reduces inflammation and recovery time.

Exactly this......most people who have trouble with weight don't eat because they are hungry, they eat because they love food like the above. "Not being hungry" isn't going to stop them from craving this type of food, only self-discipline can stop them from acting on their craving.
To your point FLPACKER, it's sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy...the more of the bad foods you eat, the more you crave. Once you get in a the habits of not eating them, you don't find yourself craving them. I've kicked every bad food imaginable...and never missed it. I didn't find myself craving it...but for lack of discipline, I decided to "treat myself" and lo and behold I wanted it again...I craved it. Sugar, bread, pizza, etc. Stuff that makes you fat.
Some people just don't have a problem saying no to bad food, or eating it in moderation. My wife is the perfect example...she cannot fathom why I am "all or nothing," with certain foods...pizza for example. She can eat a slice, and be happy. I won't stop till I finish it. So for me, I just try to avoid pizza.
Everyone is different, everyone has to find what works for them...but a big problem in this country is people view food as entertainment instead of fuel. And in general, highly processed food screws with your brain and makes you want it more.
I don't think of food as entertainment or fuel.
Almost all of our processed carbs especially in snacks contain some element of wheat product.
Modern day dwarf wheat variety's were genetically modified in the 70's to dramatically increase yield, but this also "inadvertently " altered the chemical make up of wheat gliadin which now behaves chemically as an opiate...it binds to our opiate receptors and is an extremely addictive appetite stimulant.
Did anyone notice that right after Oprah bought 6.3 million shares of WeightWatchers ..the first thing she tried to tell people is to eat bread?
Evil...but very business savvy.
Hook em on the bread honey...you will have clients for the rest of their lives.
That's awesome about Eddie. I'm learning the ins and outs of eating right, and it's not super easy. I'm a bit shocked that he was playing basketball. I figured most contracts stipulated that you can't play pick up games, or other activities due to an injury? Either way, good for Eddie and hopefully he messed around a got a triple double.
Pizza is awesome
So was the piece of chocolate birthday cake & big scoop of ice cream I just ate. Happy Birthday Mrs. FL.
