Accomplished a Mini Goal last night as I finally ran a sub 28 minute 5K! (27:44) I started running just over a year ago and for my first 5K I ran a 36:40. I got down to the 28 minute bracket and have been stuck there. I guess the next goal is to get it down from 10 minutes from where I started and run a 26:40. That would…

If I stretch the lose skin out of the way, I have abs!

First place in the 60-69 age group local 5K run!

My wife and i play it every day as well as most of the people in the office. Usually get it in four or five. Did a two once or twice, very rarely get skunked.

Completed my first Super Sprint Triathlon! Finished second in my age group in 56:16. And if I stretch a little loose skin I have abs!!!!

I lost 85 lbs and had a lot of loose skin on my belly. I have had a lot of success with collagen supplements. I get them at Costco.

To make sticking to the calorie count I want, I made Dinner easy by having the same thing on each day of the week. Monday: 4oz of Ham Steak & individual serving can of Bush's Baked Beans Tuesday: Grilled Chicken Breast & Mixed Vegetables Wednesday: 3-Soft Boiled Eggs on Rye Toast Thursday: Spaghetti w/ Sauce and…

I do a whole milk and Sun Warrior Chocolate pea protien for breakfast five days a week.

Glad to hear you're back of your feet, figuratively and literally!

Got a glimpse of abs!

I didn't double them! I took one to the office, and the other I use at home.

I went from 239lbs down to 155lbs. I had a lot of loose skin on my chest and belly. At 63 years old I knew tightening the skin up was going to be a problem. I had read about collagen supplements as the only possibility outside of surgery. It's been a year now taking the collagen as well as working out with weights and…

Most weeks I eat red meat (beef) twice a week. On Wednesday I have a 4oz. Roast Beef sandwich for lunch. On Sunday nights I have a 4oz. Cheeseburger. Once in a while I'll swap the burger for a small steak!

Broke 8 minutes in a one mile track run! a 7:50 to be more precise.

After losing 85 lbs I had to get new shoes as they were now all way too big!

I'm in love with these: and their Carrots!

Ran my first 10 mile race today! Originally it looked to be fun and scenic but the weather turned nasty. Horizontal rain driven by 40 to 50 mph winds! It was brutal in places! Ran the first 5-1/2 miles, then walked a half of mile while I took nourishment (energy gel), then ran the last 4-1/2 miles to the finish line.…

Does running count as a workout? Won my age group in a local 5K race! Ran a 28:26, missing a PR by 8 seconds!

Attempting a 10-mile run on May 7th!

Way to go! I too am in the 5'-10" club! I started my journey at 239 lbs and bottomed out after a year and a half at 153 lbs. I've now settled in around 160 lbs which seems to be a nice number for me. As always, the proof is in the picture:

Maybe I should have said "they" say the difference between Jogging and Running is a 10 minute mile. As decreed here: https://runtrails.org/jogging-vs-running https://verywellfit.com/difference-between-running-and-jogging-2911122

I started running again after a 25 year break! I worked my way up to a 5K last Spring. Ran the whole way! Ran a 11:40 mile pace. Then I read somewhere that you are only considered a "runner" if you can run under a 10 minute pace. So that was my goal. By Fall I had my 5K down to this: That's a 9:05 pace. Training really…

I have two right now. One to start the day, and one to end the day! Since I hit my target weight with 16/8 intermittent fasting, I am now looking to build some muscle and get lean. Therefore I have added a protein "shake" as breakfast which I had been skipping. It's one cup of whole milk and one scoop of Sun Warrior Pea…

A small T-shirt (down from an XL) and size 30 jeans (down from 38's)!

It's been about six months since I have lost 85 pounds. I am still trying to get use to the guy looking back at me in the mirror! The weirdest is walking through the Mall or a store and catching a side glance in a mirror and freaky out after not recognizing myself!

Well that was kind of snotty! Not from everything I've read. I have to strongly disagree with this. So you're just ignoring the "Fed" and "Fasted" body states? Well it helped me lose weight a lot better then non-fasting while consuming the same number of calories. To each their own!

Get more vascular for the Summer!

During the Covid quarantine I stopped eating the crap that was always in the office at work and managed to lose around 40 pounds. Realizing I had a good thing going, I completely overhauled my diet, started exercising, and ended up losing 85 pounds in about a year and a half. Most of the weight came off my belly so I had a…

I scare myself as to accurate my pre-scale guess is! Usually to within a couple tenths of a pound!
