Weight loss recidivism. Why O Why. You said the average person will lose weight 7 times during their lifetime.
Some will put themselves through drastic measures including WLS and eat it all back. Over and over and over again.
I've read the stats and percentages of those who are still standing after the 5 year mark.
Why, @Ninerbuff
Is it the handwriting on the wall for T2 diabetes down the road. Is it the precursor?
Rebound weight gain with friends. Is it linked to a higher risk of developing T2 diabetes. The rebound effect: a mechanism that links weight gain with diabetes. How do people untangle that and find weight stability.
Yo-Yo Dieting increases insulin resistance.

My personal opinion on this is because of resorting habitual behavior. Since eating habits can be set in for several years, even if one is able to stay on track for a period of time, somewhere down the road, people give themselves permission to just get off track for a break. That break can mean maybe say a 5lb gain, but most people won't take that as a big issue. So the 5lbs stays, then another 5lbs piles on because they still haven't gotten back on track consistently. Eventually they concede they've gained weight and figure "what's the point", and let it go.............again. In a year or so, they figure they are getting to overweight and start all over again. And it's mostly because I believe people aren't finding an eating lifestyle they can stick with.Hiawassee88 wrote: »Weight loss recidivism. Why O Why.

I ALWAYS tend to blow my calories whenever I have to attend family events and it always is about food I don't get to eat very often. But I'm always prepared for it before and after by having a plan in place to ensure my weight doesn't spiral out of control.

@ninerbuff Joint inflammation. How do you help people work through inflammation when they're just starting to lift weights. People suffering with arthritis and not injuries, per se.0
-
Normally I'll just start them off really light for a session or two. If it persists, then I have them wear a sleeve to help support the joint and make sure they remove it after we're done working out. Also mention that they use ice and rest later that day to help alleviate. This normally works for me.Hiawassee88 wrote: »@ninerbuff Joint inflammation.

@ninerbuff Weight loss competitions and weight loss wagers. Help or hinder.0
-
Depends on the person. I'm highly competitive. I've used DIETBET many times if I believe I need a kick in the pants to help lose a few pounds (usually after the holidays in winter). So if a person is highly competitive, then it can likely help.Hiawassee88 wrote: »@ninerbuff Weight loss competitions and weight loss wagers. Help or hinder.
On the flip side, there are people that lose money on DIETBET because they can't meet the mandatory percentage losses each month, BUT many still lose weight (according to community interaction). Of course those that just pay in and lose nothing, you don't tend to hear from.
Money isn't always the best motivator for some. A lot of times people are usually targeting weight loss for some event like a wedding, a vacation, a trip, etc. So they'll put in the work. Unfortunately, where I believe most people FAIL is AFTER because once they reach the goal they initially set, they DON'T have the next goal ready and let themselves relapse into old habits and end up regaining the weight they may have lost.

"Sometimes ______are the least supportive because it may be a reflection on their own inability to do what it takes get into shape.
'You do this for you. Not for _____, not for your family, not your friends. In the end, the greatest thing about improving yourself is that IT'S ALL YOU. No one can workout for you, eat for you, etc. so when results come about, it's all due to your effort.
Let it roll off. You're not forcing ______to eat what you eat, so it shouldn't matter how you approach it. Whatever happens, as long as you're consistent in your diet and effort, RESULTS will happen."
Any coach who would take you by the shoulders, face-to-face, look you directly in the eye and say this ..the sky is not the limit and it never was. The half has not been told, your words of encouragement will follow me all of the days of my life. You need to write a book. @ninerbuff I'd carry it with me in my backpack. Now, I have to write these things in my field book and reread them, all of the time.1 -
"As a trainer, I have to be harsh and straight forward many times. I mean, that's what they hired me for.........accountability and assistance. I'll always use the approach of positive reinforcement first and foremost, but if they are complaining about lack of progress, then I have to be upfront and honest and not really worry too much about feelings, but giving them logical reasoning as to why they aren't reaching expectations.
No one likes to hear about their short comings. But many times people are unaware of them and they never get fixed.
I've had clients where I've had to tell them that if they don't get their *kitten* into the gym regularly and work on their fitness and losing the excess poundage they need to, they're likely not going to be around in a few years."0 -
"Personally, I don't give a crap about what others bad opinion of me is. I'm an optimist and always look to the positive aspect of things. If people don't like how I dress, how I look, my personality, etc., then it's THEIR PROBLEM. It's why I have very little stress in my life. I know where I stand with myself and the only critic I worry about is the one staring me back in the mirror."
You have a gift. You can say things in a nutshell without the whole bushel.
Get it while the gettin' is good. Print your replies while they're still around and put them in a book.0 -
I try not to make it too long to read so that it's not a lecture, but more concise to the point. I'm often cordial, but there are times I have to be an *kitten* for them to really understand.Hiawassee88 wrote: »

Happened just a few minutes ago. A gentleman was leaving all his plates on every piece of equipment he was using. I let him know that reracking his weights was something he had to do because not everyone knows you're using the equipment and for some it may be too much for them to pull off themselves. That intern would DENY them usage of the equipment that they also pay a monthly fee for.
Well, I had t tell him a SECOND time within 20 minutes and he tried to lie saying he did, but I watched him (since guys like that tend not to really care) and approached him again saying that it was imperative that he does it. It's not a negotiation and he can look and see that everyone else is reracking their equipment. He gave me a stare and I asked if there was any questions. Then he actually went back and reracked the last set of plates he used.
Hate to do it that way, but sometimes it's the only way to get some to understand.

Less is more. The more concise, the more people think about your words. People say alot, but words matter. I don't want to remember a 4000 word term paper.
That person was taking it to the razor's edge, but you let them know your terms. Setting gym boundaries and holding them, keeps everyone safe. I respect the way you take care of the seniors. You're so right about ego lifting. Injuries ruin everything.0 -
@ninerbuff Setting boundaries. There are people who weaponize boundaries like it's an ultimatum. They will hold it over your head like a punishment. Reactive and overly charged. Emotionally activated at a high fever pitch.
It takes a successful communicator to maintain a balanced state without emotionally reacting to every situation.
Do you think fitness training helps you maintain balance? Martial arts and so on.0 -
@ninerbuff That campfire talk went UP in smoke. Do you remember when people started drinking cans of slim....fast. The old stuff was loaded to the gills with corn syrup. I couldn't understand why they wouldn't drink a carton of chocolate milk and call it good. Do you remember those weight loss candies. Corn syrup caramels and chocolates. My grandmother ate those. So did we, when she wasn't looking. Handfuls of them. I larded UP on weight loss candies. Those were the good ol'days.
I went to the WW meetings with my grandmother, too. We always had a big food lollapalooza after her weigh in. It was so much fun. I think she stayed the same weight for 30 years. To quote CCR: "It looks like a bad moon a-risin" but full moons bring out our charm and the best in every one.
Speaking of charm school, I have a relative who is so blunt. He'll come right up and tell you, you've really larded UP this year. You'd better do something about it before it gets out of hand. Therein lies the rub - to take any heartfelt stance while knocking all civility off the table.0 -
@ninerbuff I think it's time for a new face on Mount Rushmore. Rolling ROFL's. The loathe needle just shot UP to 85% lickety-split. I'm headed out for a hike. I know you love yourself unconditionally and I do, too.
All we've ever wanted was to love and be loved, conditionally or unconditionally. So let's get started. No one is reading this, anyway. 🤣 There was a big black bear out there, yesterday. Not a grizzly. If I don't come back, will you miss me? Would you cry and throw yourself on the ground if they ate me. I sure hope so.0 -

Yeah my grandmother use to eat the AIDS caramels weight loss candies. Even I ate them because I thought they were just candy.Hiawassee88 wrote: »@ninerbuff That campfire talk went UP in smoke.

Ha. Asian moms are the worst. They will say their kid got fat in front of family and friends. No filter when it comes to talking about weight for Asians.Speaking of charm school, I have a relative who is so blunt. He'll come right up and tell you, you've really larded UP this year.

You have to go exactly 22 mph and you'll hit all of the green lights. That's the way our town was programmed, since the beginning of time. Try it and report back, Coach.0 -
It's almost that time where I get inundated with new members jumping into my schedule. All I have to do it figure out how to get them all to stay and continue.

@ninerbuff, I posted in another thread I'm dealing with possible tennis elbow. I'm not asking here for advice on the condition itself nor recovery, but rather for after when I return to lifting regularly. I've read about some lifts which exacerbate tennis elbow and should be avoided, such as the lateral DB/cable raise, face pulls, and upright rows. But these are also ways I've used to hit the lateral and posterior deltoid heads. Do you have any suggestions for how to hit those parts of the shoulder, or will simply doing overhead presses and various normal rows be sufficient?0

Happy Birthday, you deserve a great day.0 -
What do you think about the wedding dress diet. Why do you have to lose weight for one day. That's
just the icing on the cake. Rather than wring your hands over the outward trimmings for a wedding day, why not scale it down. I'm not talking about weight, but all of the extreme measures people put themselves through.
Bridal hunger games won't fix everything. How many start eating it all back on the honeymoon. I don't see the point of giving yourself a few short months to get it all together. Postpone the wedding and get yourself together for yourself. If you don't like yourself now, you won't like yourself down the road when things get really tough.
I don't believe in putting a time limit on losing 100 lbs or 50 lbs or 25 lbs. All of that added pressure only adds to the stress. The body is going to decide how slow it wants to go. Your body doesn't want to be happy for just one day.0 -

I was just thinking about you, for real. Lard *%+ lotion comes to mind. Remember that tip you gave me for the side of the house, it worked like a charm. Cat, guess what. They've put three grizzly bears down due to the bird flu.
