JFish350 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I weighed myself this morning for the first time since March 28th. On March 28th I weighed in at 235.20 LBS. Today I am at 225.60 LBS down just shy of 10LBS. The single biggest reason is officiating Lacrosse games, next would be water intake, and 3rd is getting in the gym a minimum of 3 times a week. tony@CIC, Kenny B, GolfSpy TCB and 1 other 4 Quote Sub 70 949 D 9* HZRUDS 60G 6.5 smoke RDX shaft.

fozcycle Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Early March I had ballooned to 233. Combination of the July auto accident, shoulder surgery and general laziness plus snacking on the wrong foods. When m6 Dr put me on Metformin I started diligently watching what I ate. That plus return to golf while doing rehab, I lost 20 lbs. Now I have to exercise more and drop another 25.

RichL85 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Slow progress. The plague kept me out of society for about 2 weeks, so it's been a bit of a hit to the routine. Overall it's still progress. Down 60 pounds since September when I started this program. I definitely need to get some new clothes because of these changes. With today's weigh in, I'm currently only 2 pounds away from the lowest I can remember being, and that was when I was 22 in college playing multiple sports.

JFish350 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I haven't stepped on a scale for some time. My gym did a fat loss competition in June - July 13th. It was based on the % of body fat lost from where a person started. The winner lost 18%, it showed he did good work, The ladies winner lost 10%. I could never get on track and was not consistent with my workouts. I stayed the same percentage of body fat at 29%. I wasn't consistent with my workouts and had a week of vacation at a resort in the middle of the ocean. With football season 5 weeks away I need to get moving. Keeping up with teenagers gets harder every year as I am a year older and they are still kids. Good Luck fellas. MattF and Rickp 2 Quote Sub 70 949 D 9* HZRUDS 60G 6.5 smoke RDX shaft.

Hobert Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Seeing this thread again is a good reminder to reset and refocus. Things were going well in July following my meal plan, working out daily, etc. and seeing results in the way clothes fit, the way I look, and on the scale. Then I went to NYC in early August for what was supposed to be a 2 day work trip (fly in Wednesday morning, work from our NY office, go to a retirement celebration for a long time colleague, work from NY office Thursday morning, and fly home Thursday afternoon). As expected, the celebration included a few drinks and the night included a couple of NY slices after midnight before heading back to the hotel. I was fine with and planned for that with the intent that I would get back to the daily grind on Friday. Well, as a result of multiple cancelled flights (2 after sitting in the plane for 3+ hours), I didn't make it home until Saturday at 4pm after flying from LGA to Roanoke, driving a rental to Greensboro, NC to get my truck, and driving home. Worked out Sunday, but then came down with something on Monday (tested negative). No meal prep, unexpectedly being on the road for days, being sick, etc., I ended up eating what was here, easy, and/or sounded good (i.e. lots of crap and didn't work out until I started feeling better). Also skipped intermittent fasting. I gained weight, feel like garbage...time to refocus!!! I think it is a good reminder that life will happen, I might make poor eating decisions for a bit, but that's ok. I have made progress from where I started and am now in a position to refocus.

Keep in mind im not a dietician, nutriotionist, etc, but I’ve been around nutrition, training and learning about both for several years, including being an advisor for 1stphorm. So none of this is advice but more so things to consider and look at to help. I’m guessing you have probably been under eating and your at a point now where your body is going to hold onto food almost in survival mode. There’s several options to look at to help you. Tracking what you eat so that you know how many calories you are eating a day. We all have our own maintenance calories. To lose weight we need to be in a deficit. Protein is essential in helping to lose weight due to the overall health benefits of it but also it’s thermogenic effect. Typically 1g per lb of bodyweight is recommended except for those who have more than 60lbs to lose than it’s around .6g per lb of bodyweight. Then splitting the rest of rhe calories between carbs and fat and for men you don’t want to go below 50g a day because of the negative effects on hormones. There are apps like MyFitnessPal that will let you track for free(I wouldn’t use it to determine your calories). Iifym.com has a free macro/calorie calculator. Apps like carbondietcoach and macro factor (both under $12/mo for monthly subscription) or less if you do a one year membership. These two are actually coaching apps and will make adjustments weekly as necessary based on check in data. Cheaper than getting a coach which can run anywhere from $100-300/month. The key thing is to know what you are eating daily including how much. That you keep calories as high as possible while losing weight. Too many people try to go as low as possible which only hurts and prolongs the process. I’m here to help and answer any questions and provide suggestions if needed Eat My Divots, GolfSpy TCB, Josh Ross and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically 1g per lb of bodyweight is recommended except for those who have more than 60lbs to lose than it’s around .6g per lb of bodyweight. Good reminder for me... my protein intake has been lower than it should be.

Very key macro for lots of things. Helps with hair, nails, satiety, metabolism and many other things.
