    Oh, just realized Monday will be perfect to start again. That's it! Gonna start keeping up with Fitocracy again too. Maybe this summer I won't feel gross taking off my shirt at the beach.

    If you need some motivation, don't hesitate to PM me.

    I quit tobacco on a whim around half a year ago and can offer inspiration.

    Nothing. Matters.

    I've found the best motivation is "I have no cigarettes. Guess I won't smoke!"

    Other great motivators include: "*GASP GASP GASP* This *gasp* workout *gasp* is *gasp* too hard!", "You smell like cigarettes", and "Man, I shouldn't be spending all this money for these."

    Also, thanks for offering!

    Naaah, gotta ween or I'll get the headaches. I've got 10 left right now (had one while waiting on the puppy to take care of her business). So it's 8 AM now. I'll have 1 when I wake up and take the puppy out again, 1 after dinner, 1 at around 1AM tomorrow at work, another at 3, then repeat until finished. Structure and planning are key!

    While I appreciate the sentiment, I still have my Marine Corps photos where I was 176-190 lbs. And while I didn't appreciate how great I looked then, I miss those weights now. A lot. Hindsight is 20/20, of course.

    did you know ethanol has more calories per gram than pure sugar?

    what I'm saying is you need to lay off the 200-proof liquor every day

  • Mr FuzzbuttMr Fuzzbutt Registered User regular
    Proof is a fucking stupid way of measuring alcohol.

    Percent by volume makes sense, but then you double that number for no reason and call it proof? Dumb.

  • ArangArang HUEY LEWISRegistered User regular
    I know!

    but originally, proof was used to measure whether rum was strong enough for sailors to accept it as pay

    if you soak gunpowder with water, it will never light, but if you soak it with strong enough alcohol, it will

    so 100 proof originally was exactly strong enough that the gunpowder would light after it had been dried (like 55% ABV?)

    About 2 weeks ago I had difficulty doing up the zipper & button on my work pants. They were so tight around my waist that I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to tuck my shirt in. I immediately went to the bathroom scale and got on. Oops, I did it again! Over 200 pounds, all of it belly and chesticles.

    Went cold turkey right then from all forms of caffeine, refused to eat any snacks at all during my work day. Cut my breakfast down to a simple half-bowl of Shreddies, eliminated lunch, and reduced my dinner portions. Only milk (on my cereal) and water allowed for drinking. Went back to the gym and started my cardio routine at half the resistance level I was at when I stopped going last summer.

    This morning I am at 189 pounds. My current target is for 180 pounds, which is a weight I have not been at in about 7 years. The best I could do last year when going tot he gym was about 195 pounds. Interestingly, in August of last year I dropped down to 184 pounds after moving into my new house. Packing all those boxes up the stairs from my apartment's storage locker, putting them into my car, driving 10 minutes to my house, unloading the boxes and moving them downstairs into the basement was a hell of a workout. I spent about 5 hours a day for almost a week doing it. After every run I'd take a break to recover and cool down with a jumbo-sized freezie and a coke. My jeans were trying to fall down, even with my belt on.

    Anyways, once I hit 180 pounds I will allow myself to have caffeine and snacks. I might keep going with the fat burn, as my ultimate goal is to get my stomach to be flat and in line with the rest of my torso.

    losing 10 pounds it two weeks is

    pretty unhealthy dude

  • DurkhanusDurkhanus Commander Registered User regular
    How so?

  • AneurhythmiaAneurhythmia Registered User regular
    Well, dropping a lot of wait too quickly can have a number of adverse effects on nutrition and metabolism and all that. And I'd be wary of skipping meals to lose wait. I haven't made a sincere effort at exercising in a year or two though, and there are threads for weight lifting and weight loss and all that where folks could give you more solid advice than I could.

    That said, doing 10 lbs in 2 weeks probably ain't a big deal, mostly water weight I suspect, but I wouldn't aim for doing the next 10 as quickly. I'm generally wary of weight as primary metric of fitness anyway.

    At one point when I was in the army, right after finishing all my training and everything and just getting to my first post assignment, I was about 225, at 6'2", and was so much muscle.

    Now? about 350. Not so much muscle.

    I really want to start exercising again, but...well, frankly, I use the fact that it would be almost impossible for me to change my diet in a meaningful way, so the exercise wouldn't really accomplish much as far as improving my looks.

    So fuck it, since it's not going to give me any sort of instant gratification, why do it?

    Yeah, that is an amazing success, DudBolt!

    Also someone said something about their own weight the other day that I realise was also my problem: I spent so much time as a teen hating my (perfectly average) body and wearing baggy clothes that I didn't really notice when I actually gained the weight. Bah.

    oh hey this sounds really familiar to me too

    i never really thought about that

    I feel like my inevitable loss to male pattern baldness has begun. 27 and my hair is so thin the scalp is quite visible in most lights

    I do need a haircut today though, maybe I should tell them to shave it off and be done

    Problem is I'm a fat dude and I have not once seen a fat dude look better bald than with at least short hair

    :(

    I'd like to think most of that is muscle but I could lose some fat for sure. Not as big as I was in Japan, though. My host mom made so much food, and I was always snacking. Hit 170 at one point. Been exercising and eating much less in the last nine months.

    I'm two inches taller than you, and about 200 pounds. I could stand to lose about 22, and by then I'd actually look pretty good. 33 pounds and I'd be pretty cut, with an 8 pack and shit. Taking into account the height difference, I don't reckon you really need to try and lose fat, instead add a few pounds of muscle, maybe?

    Dude, I'm 5'9 and about 205. I am overweight, but I'm not like really fat.

    155 and two inches taller than me is thin.

    you're very wide

    like a dwarf

    this is sounding less flattering than it did in my head

    basically I'm trying to say you hold your weight well

    I understand. I am pretty broad and stocky.

    I'm 5'10" and around 81kg.

    I'm not really fat. I mean, I do have fat, mainly in the gut area, but I am losing it through working out. However, my weight stays around the same, probably because I am putting on muscle at the same time. Or I have a massive tumor. But I am going with muscle!

    If you want to lose weight: Cut pop out of your diet, or limit yourself to ~1 cup/day (an actual 125ml cup). Eat less red meat, replace it with lean protein sources such as fish and poultry. Drastically increase your vegetable portion and limit the amount of starch you eat.

    Also, go to the gym at least three times a week. I go five times, because I am actually training and attempting to drastically increase my cardio and weight capacity. If losing fat isn't a good enough motivator: Gaining muscle is fucking awesome. There are few other things that compare to being able to achieve a weight lifting goal you have set. And, unlike video games, when you tell other people about it, they are usually impressed!

    I got mine shaved to about 3 weeks ago, took it down to about 1/8". Gonna keep it at 1/4" max. I had the same problem with balding, and it looks pretty good this way.

    in your first two weeks of working out it's pretty much the norm

    i've seen as much as 15 or 20

    as annie said, at the beginning you lose a bunch due to water weight

    then you end up gaining most of it back and losing weight at like 1 or 2 pounds per week and then people get angry cuz it's not going as fast as it did the first week and they give up

    and if they're exercising they might gain a pound or two cuz muscle > fat and they give up

    don't give up, goddamnit
