@marikaCL that sounds insane lol, I don't know where you got the inner strength from to do that. I do a 5 mile hike with 2000 elevation gain and my legs are shot for days after lol

I was telling Jill last week, I'm like 90% set on attempting my first half-marathon on March 5th/6th. I haven't committed yet because I want to see how my last long run next week goes. I struggled a bit last week after completing an 11.5 mile session on Monday - legs wouldn't work right, and by Friday I could barely even…

Oops. Weird week, may have overdone the bulking.

Good morning all, and happy Friday. I didn't know where else to take this, because this is where I originally posted my story and I couldn't quite find another storyboard that fits - I know that I am well beyond the original requirements for this thread, but I wanted to give a 30-day update on my progress. I've removed the…

Dude, well done. I hit 70 pounds lost yesterday and came looking for similar success stories in the same timeline (I started June 30th). I know it probably wasn't easy for you, maybe it was towards the end, but celebrate your accomplishment. The photo you posted is a NSV for sure.

@jessienani I wanted to come back here to ask about your intermittent fasting; I realized the original post didn't discuss it but did have it tagged. Specifically, during your cutting period, to the best of your memory. I finished January @ 206.4; or rather, this is where I intentionally stopped on January 28th to bulk and…

Ok - time to hit the February books. Good luck everyone.

The arms crossing and producing a twist is fascinating; I had never even considered that. I do keep them in the upright position and close to my chest. I will try to look at this and see if I notice a correlation. @kenlchrzanowski thanks for the tip! I haven't been working on my core at all, being honest. I was saving that…

Yeah! This makes sense. It could be a breathing issue. I know I tend to push myself hard, which leads to exasperated breathing. I've also been told I need to breathe through my nose, something I've always found very hard to do because of how much I sweat.

I didn't know where else to start in the forums so I figured I'd go back to my list of runners that kicked it off. I have a question related to running, in general, and the effect it has on the body. Before you answer (if you know) it's not runner's gut - what I'm trying to explain. I've mostly never had runner's gut…

I'm a runner; usually do a 5k every other day and a 10 once a week. It just depends how much I hike and how my routes vary. Nice to meet you Jill.

I was able to get a beautiful tattoo on my chest (my first) and not worry about whether or not it would stretch.

@BarryTone99 and @MattMooToo I disagree and would love to hear your stories. Rules are for squares.

Damn dude. Good for you. Very similar trajectories, you and I. At 5"10, that's similar to what I'm staring at.

Giving me hope, though - I'd hoped to be done cutting by now, but…

Hi all, 32 year old male here. I've been clinically obese according to the BMI scale for my entire life, and have had high blood pressure since I was 18. I made a goal for myself at about 21 or 22 years of age that I would turn attention to trying to get healthy and finding out what my true body type should look like once…
