Weight Loss Thread

[tony@CIC]

Got a little emotional when I went shopping today for shirts. Last time I had to emergency shop for dress clothes the best I could do was socks, absolutely nothing came close to fitting. Today I walked into Macy's and went to the normal sized section and walked out with what I needed. Was a really good feeling.

That's a great reinforcement for doing the right exercise and eating things.

Great advice - exactly what my fitness coach told me as well but it's nice to have her advice reinforced. I'm sure it's especially the case when weighing yourself every day. I like the accountability that brings.

 

She's going to put together a golf specific workout for me using the equipment that I have already in my home already.

 

The inches are as important as the weight and I'm wearing a pair of shorts that I could only dream of a week ago. Man had I let myself go.

Atta boy Rev!  You keep doing what ya doing and let's commit for the long haul.  Masters week is only an intermittent journey to kick start a life time commitment to better health.  We got this and by golly we will not only reap smaller waist lines but kick diabetes, blood pressure, and multiple other physical issues in the booty.  Hang tough troops!!!

Don't despair.

 

Its amazing how long it takes to break the number - but once you do it starts falling off fast. That happened to me this time last year - stuck at 184 then after 6 or 7 weeks it started falling off so much so that I got concerned I had lost too much weight (got down to 169). I've been at 179 for a few weeks now (I always gain during the winter months) but I feel great and know the rest of the 8 will fall off quickly.

You will hear the yelling when I get south of 200. Ideally I would like to get to 185.

Do you get the message that under 1200 is not good and it won't log the day?

 

As for me, I gained 2lbs. I thought I'd lose because I tried to be good about what I ate, oh well, I had a good holiday.

Ha! Yes; I've had to add hollow calories to make it calculate. “Cheat the system”

I threw my back out Tuesday so I wasn't able to workout much so i didn't lose any pounds this week but did drop a percent in body fat so I'll take that too.

[MGoBlue100]

Your not alone, we all let ourselves go and older we get the harder it is to stay fit.

I'm also starting to fit into shorts that were too tight last year, beautiful thing!

It's interesting looking back through the years. Graduated from HS 150#, out of Army basic 160#, married 160#. Thru my late 30's to mid 50's 175-180#. Mid 50's to now slowly to 224#. Need to turn the progression around. Now 212#. A lot more work to do.

Almost 2 months in. I'm down 6.4 lbs. if I continue at this rate I'll be right on goal come April 5. But that entire last week I am on vacation. So hopefully I will be able to control what I eat.

Well after two months of working out (only about a month of eating right/less) and it's finally starting to show on the scale. Down 4 lbs in the past month. Going for another 6 over the next 2 months which is slightly more than what I planned for originally. More importantly I completed 2 months of consistently working out.

I shot 75 today. I have no doubt my improved fitness played a large part in that.

I've lost 12 pounds, average about 2 per week, a bit more exercise would do me some good, with the new pup, I will be walking at least once a day, so that helps

[tony@CIC]

Wow good for you!

I'm at 7 after 2 weeks. The daily ups and downs are fascinating to me but I'm in an overall fitness program so it's an exchange of blubber for muscle mass too.

The wife and I have been doing yoga most day the last couple weeks, usually cosmic kids with our 4year old but last night we did this one. It really gets the hips and core, https://youtu.be/no9Ys43D-BQ.

Me too, at last.

[Mr_Theoo]

Down 15lbs since starting Jan first and over 30 since June. Hope to be down another 10 by the end of the month.

I have no put any of the 10 pounds back on even without working out much due to the new job. I have been trying to buy a house and all sorts of stuff but having to go up and down 3 flights of stairs at the station multiple times a day kinda helps. I run up them and down sometimes just for fun. I'm not going long enough to build up a sweat because I cannot take my button up shirt off but once I can you get I'll be running them and using the gym in the basement. Being as busy as we are I cannot get too into a workout because we run nearly 30 calls a day between the 4 ambulances between 0800 and 1700

Alright.. Late in joining this thread but I've been heading in the wrong direction for several years. Currently at 205lbs, targeting 175lb by May before I head to Aruba for a few weeks. Need to get that beach body ready, 😂🤣

205, I cant even dream of that weight again.

[revkev]

The thing I hate about having to weigh in every day is the illogical fluctuation.

 

I did everything right yesterday, followed my exercise routine to a tee and gained 2 tenths of a pound.
