I think I've gained that much since Thursday....
I just started back to "spinning" at my local gym. I'll let you know how it goes. I need to lose about 100 lbs.
RIght on, my dude. I'm in the same boat. Had a doctor's appointment at the end of October that revealed my weight had really gone up, my BP was high, and I even had signs of liver damage (from excess fat) despite being sober for several years. It was quite humiliating. I've since started a diet and going to the gym and lost about 25 pounds so far. But I need to lose about 100 or maybe a bit more, myself. Good luck!
Those Pelotons actually look pretty rad, but after you drop a few Gs for the bike, you also get to pay a pretty hefty monthly fee for the classes and content or whatever. Crazy expensive. To me, at least.
I walk a bit over a mile every day.Watching carbs and sugar..I've lost almost 100 pounds.I'm trying for 50 more.That should take about another year.
Good luck to all on their quest for weight reduction. I concur that the Peloton looks pretty good. I guess from a convenience standpoint, it's pretty nice. But, the $$$ needed to get started is pretty steep. Stay focused!!
If there's any bottom line, that's it. Gotta cut da carbs.
That's awesome. Yeah, I am doing the low carb/keto/atkins type thing. I lost about 100 pounds about 15 years or o ago doing it. I really struggle with counting calorie, so this diet actually keeps me feeling pretty full. Definitely miss carbs, though. No potatoes, dressing or pie for the Holidays ?
Just watch out for that centrifugal force...
That's me. I have to take in 4000 calories per day or I start losing weight. Ideal body weight, 165 pounds. Never been past 120.
Those are the key things that help me reach my required caloric intake.
You little shit!!
You should see my grocery bill.
In other words losing a pound every 3 months. Four pounds a year is 1.23 ounces per week. This, I think, is possible.
I have to accept that my clothes aren't shrinking. I've gained weight but I know exactly why. The beer here in Germany is tasty, cheap, and comes in half liter bottles. Think I'll be cutting back after the holidays though.
As an aside a new word I've learned is "kummerspeck". This is weight gain from eating for emotional reasons. Roughly translates to grief bacon or sorrow bacon.
I have a buddy from high school who’s always been ‘wiry”. We’d go through drive thru burger joints at least twice every night just so he wouldn’t starve. He’s never been over 140. I should be so lucky!!
Everyone told me years ago, "When you get in your thirties, you'll start putting on weight." I'm nearly fifty.
At McDonald's I eat six Big Macs or three double quarter pounders whenever I go. Same weight and height since I was fourteen.
Just wait till you’re 60.
