non scale - I hiked the Sea to Summit trail from the base
to the summit of the Sea to Sky Gondola today :) I basically climbed a mountain today :) well half of one haha :) 1000m elevation gain over 9.8 km - most of the elevation gain is in the first 2/3 of the hike. If I had to guess I would say the last 4 km have an elevation rise of 200m if that. I am fat (I hate saying this…

NSV :)
I started swimming again almost 2 weeks ago. But I ended up having to take this whole week off since last |Thursday because I have been taking care of my sick kitty (he needs to be force fed right now or he will die of liver failure) he started eating on his own last night (not enough though - I still have to force feed…

To Swim or Not to Swim today (aka rest days important?)
So I have just started swimming (or working out) again. I went the last 4 days and it has been good/fine (it is HARD and it HURTS but it is good pain not bad pain - yes I know the difference) I feel like I can swim today. But then, usually I have a tendency to go all out balls to the wall when I start working out again and…

NSV at the pool
So I started swimming again yesterday. It definitely wasn't easy stuffing this overweight, mid 30s body into a swim suit and going to the pool. Let's face it no one needs to see me in a swim suit lol. 5'9" tall and 125lbs overweight. Thankfully I am tall, gain weight everywhere and have a lot of muscle still so I carry…

is it even possible for a scale to be out by that much?
So I had been using an old non digital scale (maybe 10-13 yrs old I think) it looks a bit beat up but it never seemed to be too bad - though I haven't used it in many years (but I did make sure to move the scale thing back to 0 when it was at rest because it had moved over the years) it gave me my weight as 260-262lbs was…

lately shopping is the bane of my existence

What a depressing experience lol. This is the biggest I have ever been and when trying on bigger clothes than ever before and…

why I am here and a help question
So, I have been very fit for most of my life and I ate "normal" - not a ton of food, reasonable portions, decent food mostly non pre-prepared. A typical dinner would be a chicken breast, rice and broccoli. I indulged occasionally as well but was still always very fit. 6 years ago I had a few injuries one after another -…
