Anybody up for it? I've got about 20 shutdown pounds to get rid of. I'm sure I'm not the only one... Any takers?

I need to gain 10-15. Too much time away from the gym.

I have different challenges but as far as food craving goes, I have a question. The self that indulges and experiences that pleasure for 5 minutes, how does it feel for the next couple of hours about that treat?

Now I really hate you.

[Copper]

When I had the covid I stayed away from the cookies and whiskey. I lost a few pounds.

Same here. But with the crap weather, no gym, work, and two young kids...the only thing I can do is stop eating cookies and drinking beer but at that point, am I even living?

I’ve maintained a weight within 5 pounds either way for 40 years. I’ve had one size of clothes and could fit into anything I ever bought in that time horizon. I’m not bragging, because I certainly can’t say the same about a lot of things in my life. I’ve mentioned before I do weigh myself everyday and I believe that I make different choices when I see myself nearing 5 pounds at the upper limit.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing. That’s a big running saying. When I wake up and the weather sucks I say do it now so the hard work of exercise can’t prey on me and eat at my brain all day. The frog in your brain gets bigger and bigger, you have to swallow it without looking at it too long.

OK make that two people.

I've been remarkably stable throughout, until December. For some reason, the weather got really sucky, and I stopped my outdoor walks. Put on about 5 lb since the end of November. But now that it's getting nicer outside, I'm getting back at it. Did 4 miles twice this week, and I'll probably do 5 tomorrow.

It's interesting how quickly I de-conditioned. I used to do 5.5 to 6 miles with no major effort. Yesterday after 3, I was tired.

It'll build up, again, even at my advanced age.

It’s fascinating that one cannot inventory physical health. There is no bank to put it in. On the other hand it is possible to make permanent mental gains yet few people practice that deliberately.

Please PLEASE contact Horace on this!
I know at his advancing age and weight, he can lose 20 lbs. by just skipping a meal. He keeps insisting donuts are a vegetable, and other falsificanizations we covered in previous threads over the years.

Now watch him be rude and inappropriate and mention something about my weight. Very hard for someone like me, that doesn't have dual monitors, but must use dual mirrors.

Wait, I thought Horace was the Apple a day guy?

No no no. You mistunderstood. It was "an Apple Pie a day." With I jug of whip cream per quarter. And he could down it with the best of them. Amazing, although somewhat disgusting to watch, but what the heck, still amazing, like watching farm animals for the first time.

I'm down, but I'm going to cheat. I've already lost 10-12, so I've 8-10 to go.

I'll give you mine.

[mark]

I need to shed some.

Started to not snack at night (most nights) like 1 night in the past 7 I had some nighttime snacks. Weekends are the worst. lol

[jodi]

I’m in. I’ve got a bunch to lose. I did really well the first 2 weeks of February. But not so good these last two. I need to not snack, and I need to get more consistent exercise. (And I need the weather to warm up so I don’t feel so much like hibernating)

[George K]

Re' snacking.

I'm a great believer in intermittent fasting. Not the whacko "600 calories for two days and then binge" stuff. I fast from 8PM until about noon the next day. That, and restricting carbs (<100 grams per day) was a 25 lb loss for me. It's easy and sustainable. My only cheat is my (cheap) Scotch after 8 PM, until about 9.
