Did you also start exercising? That would add muscle so you didn’t lose a lot of weight but lost inches. That’s why I tell people not weigh themselves but to try on a favorite pair of jeans or your favorite black cocktail dress.....just no pics please!
Common problem with dieting. Soon as you reach your goal, you relax and slip back into bad habits. Need to look at it as a permanent lifestyle change, not done just for weight loss but more for better health.
I agree with that. Although I also believe exercise kickstarts your metabolism which further helps weight loss. Diet and exercise do somewhat go hand in hand. Exercise also helps mental health (for me at least).
I wonder how many of these guys do have a black cocktail dress?
Not stupid, just human. Not sure there is a big difference though.
IQ is on a different thread
Mighty High opinion of yourself huh?
Lol, I am who I am, no apologies. I try to be a nice guy, be constructive. Yes, sometimes I can get maybe too personal, like maybe on this thread, but this is one of the life hacks I use to get things done. One reason I post so much about going to the gym is so I’ll get my ass into the gym. If you don’t like what I have to say, you can put me on ignore, simple solution. Or you could say nothing; I’m harmless. In the end, all your snottiness accomplished, as far as I’m concerned, is to install in me a sense of satisfaction that I already had you on ignore. Yay me.
I will never understand why people post personal things on this board, as you have done. Nothing against you, but THAT is what gives you some kind of motivation? Silly.
Exercise doesn't do anything for me from a weight loss standpoint. I walked at least 10,000 steps per day when I weighed 205 and I walked 10,000 steps per day when I weighted 165. For me it is all about the food I eat. I read somewhere that eating one slice of bread requires a person to run 1 mile to get rid of the calories. Unless you are a marathon runner I don't think exercise has much to do with weight loss.
I think you are correct when it comes to doing cardio. If you exercise to build muscle, it will reap greater rewards. Especially if you coordinate meals (protein intake after workout). Please note that this is from reading, not first hand implementatio.
Perhaps it's just a mental boost then. Either way, I feel much better when I go for walks than when I don't.
All very good advice. I especially like 1, 3, 7, 8. I have been overweight most of life sometimes by a little sometimes more than a little. I have also done and continue to do a fair amount of exercise. So IMO
The personal stuff is what makes this board more fun than the Den. How many “I think our 2023 class is really shaping up. LaBurten really lit up that summer camp and HE WORE PSU shorts IN the mess hall!” can we read?
Good point. The only exercise I do is walking over 10,000 steps per day and I walk up flights of stairs. Maybe if I did muscle building exercises I would be better off.
Caloric deficit is really how one loses weight, unless you are on a very intense exercise regiment.
Had a coaching friend suggest to me (59-years young) that a dumbbell routine would be good to keep me in shape. The plan is to get that started soon.
In losing weight and keeping glucose numbers down, my concern is the cholesterol meds I take. Eggs don’t help me there, but I really like them.
