My recent health/fitness hiccup
-
I just started back to HIIT on the Airdyne the past week or so. Supposed to build VO2 max faster. I’m getting upwards of 110-120 bpm. Plateaued at 67 lbs on weight loss even thought my waist keeps shrinking. Maybe the weight training.
I didn’t have to work this hard in my 30s. Grr.
-
Update. Its been almost exactly two months since I stopped that drug. My weight hit 168.2 today, my nadir was 148.1 on February 28th.
So I’ve gained 20lbs in 2 months. Good weight too, not sloppy weight. When I hit 175 or so I’ll probably cut back the carbs a bit but keep myself at 3000 calories or so. Maybe not though since by then I’ll be riding a lot and burning calories.

Thanks for the update!
@lufins-dad how are you doing on your health journey?
I'm down to 214, from a peak of 232 last July. All I'm doing is trying to eat better each day and avoid snacking at night. When I do that, the scale rewards me in the morning. I hope to be down to 200 in 3 months. Should be "easy" if I can just fight off the drink/snack munchies at night.

Down to 208 from 245. I am essentially at the weight that I want to be at, but I need to drop another 10 or so, then build it back up the right way…
Combo ran/walked a 5K last week while Finley had his running club. Hoping to run a 5K next month.

Good job to all!!!!

Great to hear @lufins-dad as well. Just like Jon's post, I appreciate the health updates.

Had an InBody scan today.
Weight: 173.4 (in clothes, after two breakfasts and lots of water)
Skeletal Muscle Mass: 85.1lb (looks like ~105 percentile, eyeballing the bar graph)
Body Fat Mass: 20lbs (looks like ~77th percentile, again eyeballing)
Percent Body Fat: 11.5%
Visceral Fat Level: 4
InBody score: 84 -
Well you wanted to get back to 175 by May and you did it, nice job!
In bizarro world, I'm also trying to get to 175 in the next 2 years. I don't want to do it too quickly. I peaked at 232* last July, and was just at 212, so I'm on the way. Would like to be under 200 by August, then 185 by next May.
*232 is also the heaviest I ever got after college, in 2005... if you may recall I signed up for a marathon and ate better and over 2 years went down to 175, so this is basically a complete repeat.

I don’t yet count that 173 given the time of day. I’ll wait until i weigh that in the morning.
This morning I was 167.1. So I can still get there by the end of the month.
Good news.
