    i lost 100 pounds by not eating like a fatass anymore, but now i'm just kinda middling in skinnyfatsville because i have no muscle yet

    at least i've kept a steady weight over the past few months without really trying

    man 100lbs is my target for total loss.

    taking a rest weekend (by which I mean cleaning the house like crazy instead of going to the gym)

  • mrt144mrt144 King of the Numbernames Registered User regular
    I've only gained 50 lbs due to drinking beer and snacking. I was a svelt young man at the age of 22. Now I look like Rockzo at 28.

  • FavlaudFavlaud just straight up awful Registered User regular
    i dropped from a high of just under 300 to around ~190 now

    people tell me i'm skinny now though, so i should probably work on putting on enough muscle to get up to 215

  • Jimmy MarkuJimmy Marku LondonRegistered User regular
    How tall are you? 190 is not light, particularly if you don't have much muscle.

    lolz, I'm 200 and 5'9" goddamn.

    ugggh ecco lost more weight.

    so difficult right now cause he's trying to supportive of me with my diet.

    but he's the one that keeps losing the weight (although the scale numbers moved for me! WOO). He's down to 67kg. I hopped on this morning and the numbers said 123.7kg.

    I was 125.2 on monday. And I haven't been sick!

    Everything all up ins! Or something.

    But yeah, he keeps losing weight. I mean I am grateful to his support, but dammit, not if it turns him into skeletor.

    Wow. Yes. Ok. You should build muscle. Eat lots of protein.

    It's a neat idea as a service, but it's not like you can't get that stuff easily enough through other channels in the states.

    I'm trying to check out a topological map to find a good running route here but I think I'm just gonna have to walk around and get my bearings. Town is probably not so good though. Lots of cars and narrow lanes. Will look at the countryside.

    I did a climb I've never been able to do before.

    I'd show off and say its because I'm so cool and though. But in reality, the only reason I got to the top was that I was too scared to fall.

    But you know, I know it's possible now.

    Ow did rock climbing again

    My forearms and fingers so tired

    3x in 8 days tho, not bad for new activity and not neglecting my lifting, and also trying yoga. Good week.

    Now I'm waiting for a meatball parm. Which ain't healthy, I've had so many carbs today but it's okay, I'm having a good week.

    Been there, done that, Dan. It happens.

  • tynictynic PICNIC BADASS Registered User, ClubPA regular
    Some days, you get a way into a run and think 'you know what, this isn't gonna happen.'

    Some days that comes only 500m in.
    I've learnt not to try too hard to push through that because it can screw up my running for days. As long as I get out there at least three times over the week I try to go with the flow regarding how I feel.

  • PeenPeen Registered User regular
    Same thing happens with the weights. You can get partway through a movement and realize yup, this just isn't happening today. Put it down, pick it back up tomorrow.

    I started doing 30 day shred in addition to yoga 3x a week. I can't do a proper push-up and 3 lb weights are too heavy for me sometimes. I hope this changes!

  • lonelyahavalonelyahava Call me Ahava ~~She/Her~~ Move to New ZealandRegistered User regular
    man i did some squats on a super low bench thing today. 6 sets of 8 squats. It was like trying to get down to the curb for a parade. Only then having to stand back up again. While holding 4kg dumbbells in each hand. Fun times. But left my legs so fucking shaky. Went to do the leg press thing and I got about 5 reps in (out of 20 at 60kg) and my legs just turned into jelly. I finished the set but I was giggling like a crazy person because my legs were shaking and i couldn't make them stop and it was just so fucking funny.

  • Lost SalientLost Salient blink twice if you'd like me to mercy kill youRegistered User regular
    bits I ain't wanna post pictures of me and my friend who do the shred but we seriously got pretty damn buff by doing it three times a week (along with other stuff on the other days obvs). I let it slide lately but I'm shredding today. And you totally will get better at them! (Although level three still makes me cry and give up oops)

    Thanks lost! That is encouraging. I have to do wimpy push-ups right now.

  • Dead LegendDead Legend Registered User regular
    Wimpy pushups lead to real pushups

    Even If you can't do a full one you can start at the top and lower yourself as slowly as possible @bowtiedseal

    my pushups are currently being done against the barbell on one of the stands. It's been lowered a bit and my feet are back quite a bit too.

    But pushups on the floor? hehe. No I can't do those yet.

    so you're ahead of me!

  • bowtiedsealbowtiedseal Registered User regular
    @dead legend thanks. I'm trying not to develop bad habits.

    @lonelyahava you'll get there! It will take me a while to manage a real push-up on the floor!

  • Dead LegendDead Legend Registered User regular

    Maybe just that sometimes it's easier to slack off and do a half-assed pushup rather than force yourself into a real one.

    ...she says as she does some half-assed pushups

    Dl speaks the truth. My girlfriend did a full pushup today for the first time; she did it by doing a couple sets of 5-8 to a chair after work.

    We used lower chairs as she got stronger. Took about a month
