Weight Loss Thread

I am down 25lbs of the last 3 months and I feel great. Less back pain and more energy. I have just 5 lbs to reach my goal

Great job! I found at least initially it's as tough to maintain the weight loss. Hope it comes easier for you.

Thank you I am hoping that it will be easier for me since it’s not just some crazy diet it was a lifestyle change. I usually don’t have issues keeping it off but every time time I lose weight I ended up getting injured and then I put it back on while I recover. I am hoping that won’t happen again.

All was going great until I injured myself this weekend at the gym.The trainer was showing me a few elastic band exercises.After only a few motions my right forearm was extremely sore.Not sure if I strained or pulled a muscle.Days later it is still sore.Will give it another week and see if it improves with no exercise

Any improvement?
I’m asking because I overdid it at the gym about a 4 weeks ago and I’m struggling. Got a cortisone shot in my shoulder and has helped a lot. Doc told me to exercise but not overdo it. I have a series of shoulder exercises to do 3-4 times a week.

I’m staying under 168 very comfortably. My son’s brother in law was by today for the first time in months.

He actually didn’t recognize me at first. And he lived with us for six months a few years ago.

That’s pretty cool.

Well, after blowing out and gaining about 5lbs I'm down 1 today.

We're all allowed that slight deviation -  glad to see you lost 1 of these.

It’s better today rick. I took a week off of all physical activities involving right arm. Felt like a million bucks today . Just have to monitor it and stop immediately once I feel pain again . When I was in my 20’s and 30’s never had injuries. Now , later in life , I’m getting hurt Almost weekly

Gets worse when you get into your 70’s , take care!

Finally getting back to where I was before I left for Texas. I gained 15lbs while down there. Most of which I think was just water weight but it’s just been a busy few last weeks where I couldn’t get to the gym as much as I needed to sweat and work it off. Still worth every pound though. My goal is still 250s by the end of the year even with this gain

I think I’ve finally found my weight.

 

I’ve been 165.7, 5 of the past 8 days.

 

I started at 209.4 in February and at that time my goal was 180. Hit that the end of April and made 168 my goal. Hit that the end of August and didn’t really set a new goal because that’s my college playing weight and puts my BMI inside the healthy range.

 

Florida is the opposite from up north activity wise. It’s hard to stay active in the summer because of the heat and far easier as fall moves into winter. I’m comfortable that I can keep this weight off by continuing to eat mostly healthy foods and staying active.

 

I will continue to check in here to support all of you who have supported me this year. Thanks for your help!

 

One last thing, I ran into a couple of guys whom I used to play with at the local muni Tuesday. I was chipping and putting while they were heading out. They didn’t recognize me at first. They told me I looked 20 years younger.

Bought four pairs of dress slacks and a pair of jeans today. Either threw the old ones out or donated to charity so there’s no turning back.

I’ve purchased two pairs of shorts and several new golf shirts over the course of the summer. I do need to start replacing my clerical but those are expensive.

Awesome rev! I’m close to needing new pants myself. I’m still in my 42s but they’re starting to slide off me. Crazy to think I was close to a 50 this time last year

[Big money]

We have a new trainer at our gym. He was a former cross fit employee who now teaches at our facility. Took two lessons so far and all I can is wow. I was stuck at 199 lbs.But after working with him twice this week I’m sure that will drop real fast.Very difficult work outs that are more cardio and core biased

That’s awesome! I’m getting to the point where I need new clothes, which I’m excited about! Also another plus is that all my “work” clothes are also golf clothes haha.

I've always kept a set of 'thin' clothes and a few pairs of 'heavy' pants. The nicer clothes were always the 'thin' set as motivation.

That's great! I'm down about 17 pounds since early May - I could use smaller golf shorts for sure and pretty close to going down a size in the brand of slacks I like for work.

Hadn’t checked here in a while. How’s everyone doing? I’m still holding steady between 164-166. Some days on the lower end, some days on the higher but I’m where I want to be heading into the pitfalls of the Holiday season.

Maintenance is always difficult and I see your doing just fine, congratulations.
I’m still around 205 and holding. Have had a few medical problems that have limited workouts and activities. Goes with the age I guess. As long as I’m still under 205 after the Holidays I’ll be happy.

I've been fluctuating but my weigh in this morning had me the same as @Rickp...205. I need to go lower because I have my annual physical in about 2.5 weeks.

Get that fiber in!

[tommc23]

I put on a few pounds but on a little 3 day hunting trip where I won't eat lunch due to wanting to hunt too badly so I'm hoping to shed a few lbs.

I could do that with laxettes!

[Jmikecpa]

I have kind of been off the wagon for a few weeks due to travel and getting a little to lax with myself. Back at it again today and hoping to drop another 20 lbs before the new year.
