Weight Loss Thread

[revkev]

I weighed in at 29 lbs less than when I started in Jan. In total my class of 10 lost 182 lbs....that's a whole person! They said we were the only class where everybody lost. Now I gotta keep it going.

Oh well then we will just down grade the awesome to a participation ribbon and a pat on the back.

 

Seriously - great job! Can't wait to play next week. Can you do a little later in the day? My friend, Dennis, works at Moffit and would love to play. He and I both have summer Paradise cards. If Pebble has healed that would be fine but we can do TPC for 41.

 

Back on topic here I think I've safely crossed the 185 barrier. Next stop 179. That will take another three or four weeks. Once I get there it's time to see the PA again and ask her opinion on how far to go.

I'm not adverse to under 170. That's where I was at as a young adult.

See what I can do....trying to get some Medicare cost reports completed for my old company. Gotta get them done by May 24 as we are headed to Gatlinburg for a week with friends.

 

Can your P card get a discount for a friend?

 

I heard Heritage Isles Greens are in great shape as well.

Ok we're starting to get to big numbers with Rev's weight loss. We're now at 321.5. 

[tommc23]

The course I found yesterday was cart path only for most of it. I might have to walk this course once a week to help me walk more even though I was in fire gear hauling hose and ladders the other day walking 18 would have been rough

Slow and steady, down another 0.8 this morning.

Big milestone this week. Went from 314 down to 310 which means I've dropped 50lbs on the scale since last July and I am back to my wedding day weight. Time to push to the next goal which is 290 on the scale

Let's play when you get back then. Sportsman can't play anyway. I also heard that Heritage Isles is in great shape and it's on that card too.

 

I will just play in the Friday game at Mangrove.

Guys there's 42 pages of this. I don't have the desire to read that much. It's really simple. YouTube keto diet. It really is that simple. Also get food allergy tested. Weight is inflammation not fat. And while you are at it google what a calorie actually is and you will see it's nonsense.

I let others chime in as well but from my prospective this forum wasn't advocating a particular diet/weight loss program. This was a way for those of us looking to become more fit to share our goals and encourage others as they were achieving theirs.

 

As to specific diets - every situation is a bit different and I'd let the professionals - dietitians, physicians, etc dictate the best approach for a particular need.

I can explain to you the biology of how wrong you are but I somehow don't think that would help. And by the statement you made I'm sure you're one of those that thinks vaccines cause autism too.

This was exactly my intention when I created this thread. You do you, we'll do us and we'll encourage and support each other no matter what way we achieve our results.

 

This thread is for the journey, not what way to go about it.

 

Remember, opinions (and diets) are like arseholes, everyone's got one and they all stink.

You're awesome!

 

I hit my second goal from the fitness plan that I'm on. I'm actually started to see the top part of my ribs in the mirror. I can't remember the last time for that. 183.9 today from 209.4 in February. People at church are noticing and I've had a couple tell me they are following suit. That may be the best part.

Perfectly said - from what I've read most of us are under the care of medical or fitness professionals. That may be the coolest part of this thread.

Disclaimer: I know this is NOT the direction of the thread, but I was asked for my opinion and I'll give it and leave it as that. Nothing more. Also, a little background, my wife is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (Previously a RD, now a RDN). When seeking nutrition advice, find someone with the RD or RDN after their name. Please do your research when obtaining nutrition advice. There are a bunch of in the medical field offering unfounded advice...I'm talking about physicians, chiropractors, heck, even optometrist. My wife's specialty is pediatric food allergies and kids with special eating needs such as feeding tubes. 

 

Diets promote weight loss through one specific way: caloric restriction. South Beach, Whole 30, Paleo, Atkins, even Keto all promote weight loss through cutting calories. So Keto was originally designed to help kids with epilepsy and autism. However, the patients were admitted to the hospital during the diet because it is really difficult to completely adhere to the diet. No one did keto on their own. Fast forward a few decades and someone in the fitness community gets a hold of the diet and promotes it as serious weight loss. Folks who promote one diet or another probably found short term success with the diet and now promote it as truth. However, a recent study by Stanford University of Medicine (which had over 600 participants!!) showed that over a span of a year, a low carb (keto) diet showed the exact same amount of weight loss as a low fat diet.

 

Here's where the wife chimes in...

 

A healthy eating lifestyle really depends on your relationship with food. A healthy mindset (just like in golf) is required to really maintain a healthy weight. Diets that eliminate certain food groups are really hard to stick to over a period of time. You also have to consider what nutrients you're giving up for these diets. Diets that eliminate dairy, well, where are you going to get your calcium and Vitamin D? Diets that eliminate whole grains, where are you going to get your fiber and Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12? Sure you could take supplements, but why not get that nutrition in actual food? Eliminating food groups usually amplifies your cravings and eventually you binge on stuff you're 'not supposed to eat' on a certain diet. Understanding your cravings, why you have those cravings and why you choose certain foods can go a long way in maintaining a weight your body is comfortable at. My wife really likes something that's called Intuitive Eating. It dives into the psychological relationship with food versus 'don't eat bread, eat only bacon grease and butter and you'll lose weight quickly'! 

 

All in all, some diets work for people because it gets them thinking about what they're putting in their body. There's a lot more to a healthy weight than eliminating carbs or eliminating fat.

Lost 4 lbs in the past week. Guessing that wearing fire gear for 8 hours a day and working my ass off is paying off. I did however not get as dehydrated as I did a week or so ago and my water weight is up according to my scale, which is good. I'm working to push myself mentally when doing the drills because they are difficult and in real life when I'd be doing this the amount of adrenaline would be huge help. Here's hoping I hit under 290 by the end of the month. I'm down 14lbs since the beginning of this thread and 34 since last year.
