I am 5'5" and the lowest i have ever weighed was about 145 and that felt too low and unsustainable for me. Right now I am at about 160 and could probably lose a few pounds, but I feel pretty good at this weight. Thanks pards! I've actually been increasing my calorie intake quite a bit the past month to slow the weight loss. Still have a pound or two around the belt line that my girlfriend would probably prefer I convert, but I'm pretty happy at ~135 lbs otherwise. I've definitely been stronger at a higher weight when I was younger, but for me this program is about stability, flexibility and feeling good... for as long as possible. 2 Quote ______S9-1 Pro D - Matrix Ozik XCON 6 S ______S9-1 Pro 15* - Matrix Ozik XCON 7 S ________3DX 17* - Matrix Ozik Altus Hybrid SG ______ICON Black 4-PW - KBS Tour V S __________588 RTG 49 RTX 52.10 56.12 - DG S400 ______Amazing Grace NYC Tour CS _______'19 TP5X (the preceding have all been gamer approved) "The most important shot in golf is the next one“ - Ben Hogan Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a two tiered weight loss, During Covid, I lost about 18 pounds mainly from eating at home more versus eating out 7 to 10 meals a week. Then I got sick last month--Non covid related---and lost another 12 pounds, that so far I've only gained two back in the last 3 weeks. Between the two, i'm down to 252 which is the "lightest" I've been since 2010. 5 Quote TS1 Fubuki 45g R Flex G410 FW 5, 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Phantom 5.5 35" ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites

It was---according to my Dr. just one of 100's of routine virus's that are all being overshadowed by COVID. You can do that, it's a very reasonable amount per week, not like you're trying to drop 20 in two weeks by some drastic measure.

TBS 36 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 My home course is fairly hilly and not necessarily a walking course but people do it all the time. At first I thought, "you couldn't pay me to walk 18 here". Well, I just bought a push cart and am committing to walking. I'm in fairly good shape, run and/or workout daily but I still want to shed a few lbs. Wish me luck. 5 Quote M6 12* Oban Kiyoshi Purple 65g stiff TS2 16.5* HL Oban Kiyoshi Purple 75g stiff G410 Hybrid 19* Tour stiff G20 CFS stiff 4-GW 56* spinner shaft TP Black Copper Juno 34in Oncore or Snell MTBx Link to post Share on other sites

analyticandrew 197 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I'm down to 282.7 which is 35.3 down from where I started. Keto eating has REALLY been crucial for me. I don't feel tired either, even after a round of 18 holes. I take some macadamia nuts or pistachios with me and make sure to drink plenty of water while I'm playing and it's been great. A push cart will be the next purchase for me (after I get some new sticks!) so I can play AND exercise more than I do. 4 Quote G410 LST 9* Driver with KBS TD Shaft ZF85 3 wood with Raijin Shaft and Baffy 5w with Harrison Rifle (old school!)

I am currently at 265 lbs, only gained 3 pounds since the stay at home and pandemic has started. My goal is to get down to 220 lbs.

dlow206 4,135 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I am on that Bryson bulk right now lol. not purposefully, but i like to eat.

dlow206 4,135 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Hadn't weighed myself for probably 5 months. Up to 173 now (weight mid day, so probably a few pounds less in the morning). Up about 10 to 13 pounds since about 4 months ago. Have been hitting the weights and strength workouts really hard over that time period, so I think a good portion of that is clean weight. Probably some of it was muscle memory gains because I used to be big into weightlifting a long time ago, but had stopped seriously lifting for about a 10 year period. Being a former fat person, any increase in the number on the scale gets in my head even if it is quality weight. 2 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 10/6/2020 Driver: SIM Max 10.5 - Fujikura Ventus Red 5S Velocore (the real one) Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: Mavrik Max 5 - AW - Nippon Neo 950GH S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - Nippon Modus 105 Wedge flex Putter: LAB Golf Directed Force 2.1 Current Putter Collection: LAB Golf DIrected Force 1, HB Soft Premier #11, La Costa 1st 500, Squareback 1 (2008) Link to post Share on other sites

juspoole 1,251 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Gotta get back to it. Quarantine life has made me lazier, but even worse are the eating habits and how much pop I've been drinking. On vacation this week, so I'm going to try and make some better choices, but committed next week to smarter food choices and a lot more water. Also, now that I have some help with the kids, there is no reason I can't run 2 miles a few times per week and add in some body weight exercises. Keep at it to all those dropping the weight and staying healthy. Hope to join the train soon! 1 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 3 Wood: 917F2 Fujikura Pro 84 Tour Spec S 3 Hybrid: 818 H2 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X Irons 4-PW: MP 18 SC Dynamic Gold AMT X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Inovai 6.0 Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Link to post Share on other sites
Brian A 990 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Finally hit my goal weight of <180.. 179.8, its been hovering around 180ish for a few weeks. Since January I've lost 16lbs! A lot of running, cycling and patience. Also got sick in February and dropped 7lbs pretty quick and just kept it off. I know it sounds crazy but work from home has helped because we don't buy a lot of the junk food for the house that shows up in an office or a vending machine. If I could kick the sugar habit/cravings I'd be in great shape 2 Quote Driver: TS 2, Hzrdus Smoke Black Stiff 9.5* Setting, A2 Fairway Wood: G30 Stiff Shaft Hybrid: TS2 19* Hzrdus Smoke Black Stiff shaft Irons: 718 AP1 (4-PW) AMT Red Stiff Shafts Wedges: RTX4 52* 56* Putter: Scotty Cameron Golo 5 Right Handed Pittsburgh, PA Link to post Share on other sites
