I don't understand the mindset here. The goal is to establish habits that will allow us to enjoy whatever time each of us has left.. Being terrified of having a few drinks out on a date night or destroying a few street tacos while drunk is unsustainable in my view. I say enjoy yourself in the moment and to hell w/ all the…

Went to a pizza bar with a bunch of co-workers for lunch yesterday. Started to panic a little on the drive over about walking into an all-you-can-eat pizza joint (Beau Jo's in Evergreen, CO). After getting there I realized that all of the positive changes I've made over the past couple of months were made specifically so I…

Turned 50 in June and have lost 30 lbs since then. Another month or two and I'll be in better shape than at any point in my 40's. By Xmas I expect to be better than at any point in my 30's. You can do it!!

Sage advice. I'm not on a trend that I would consider long term and I do not expect to maintain this kind of freefall. I feel bad about hijacking this thread and have been trying to keep my posts short. It's not just sit ups. Cherry pickers, windmills, jumping jacks, lunges, etc.

Thank you, Nony Mouse. I appreciate the advice. I played sports at both the varsity and collegiate level. (tennis & rowing crew). I spent a 1000 hours on an erg machine sophomore year. I'm just listening to my body again.

4.5 lbs/wk vs 3.25 lbs/wk (1%). My dad is an 82 year old retired surgeon who would say this is all mumbo jumbo. He's been eating chili out of the can and smoking a pack of cigarettes every week since like 1961. I'll take my chances.

I get it. What I think got lost in translation somewhere is that I started eating what a normal person should for my height & target weight on August 1st, while adding 18k steps and 100 sit ups each day to my routine. ...and Voila!!

Not sure I understand "eating at a deficit" in this context. If I go from burning 1000/cals a day to 3000 while eating more & better food, where's the deficit? Also, I disagree that going from 325 to 298 in five weeks is too fast. From 175 to 148 sure, but at plus three bills, it's as easy as, "I'll just have water…

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet. Exercise. One of the great things about exercise is the realization that even when you plateau on the scale, it's likely the result of replacing fat with muscle. Amplifying your activity level will put you in charge of your scale rather than the other way around. I've dropped 27 lbs…
