JardyB10 4,865 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've been unexpectedly out of town for work for the last two weeks working night shift, so I haven't been doing anything, OR eating well (i.e. at all) in that time. I'll be happy if I'm not under 175 lbs now. It's getting to me though, so I'm gonna do a small workout in my room today. Dips, pushups, abs. Maybe Google some other things I can do.

JardyB10 4,865 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 On a lesser note, today was my first day back to the gym in two weeks or so. Felt both awful and good.

Mike 708 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Been a while since I've posted here. Jan 17: 265 lbs Jan 27: 262 lbs Feb 5: 259 lbs Sometime after Feb 5th I did something to my left shoulder/neck and really slowed my progress. My working out was reduced to nearly 0 and I found myself going back to old eating habits. I haven't completely stopped and I have a renewed focus moving forward yesterday I went to chinese buffet and found myself full after one plate instead of 3:P. I bowl every Tuesday night and I think the working out has definitely given me more control my average is an all time high of 192.5 and my average over the last 5 weeks has been over 215. March 19: 256 lbs I'm now down 9 pounds in just over 2 months and plan to start incorporating some light cardio/jogging as the weather starts to warm up at the track near my house.

Kendrick 4,741 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I recommend one of the best workouts ever, Water. Most people don't drink enough and it can actually decrease your ability to sleep and in turn your body doesn't go through the proper steps to ensure you're ready for your next workout.

Actually just a pro tip working out/running in the cold actually makes you sweat/burn more for whatever reason. I personally hate doing things in the cold but it could be beneficial to start now but keep up the good work and continue what you're doing Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/27334-health-and-fitness-motivational-thread/page/6/#findComment-321921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 4,741 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Running in the cold yes, not lifting in the cold. Lifting in the cold can actually cause injuries.

That'll be 35-40 pounds over the course of the year. And you've been inhibited.

der meister 3,183 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Just looking at this now, and I gotta say that diet is everything. I quit drinking carbonated soft drinks and changed to a vegan diet and lost about 30 pounds doing nothing else different. 30 pounds for me was really significant, as I was 170 at the time, so about 18% of my body weight. I've since gone from vegan to vegetarian and am back to 175, though I'm also in a much more sedentary job.

I'm "pescatarian" but occasionally I'll have chicken so I guess I don't really fit into any specific category, but when I made that change, I noticed a big difference in how I felt more than anything. I lost about 12 lbs but I seem to have plateaued. I recently got in touch with a health coach through my job so I'm working on getting more active and all that. Glad to see I'm not the only non-meat eater around here, even if I only half count lol Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/27334-health-and-fitness-motivational-thread/page/6/#findComment-326081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
