Before you can't imagine walking in wanting a stripper spec base 911, you will probably get laughed out the door, but right now, if you are in the market... just saying....

Is stripper spec base 911 $150K now vs $99K just a few years back?

Dont listen to Badhobz, I was never #1, the only time I got #1 was when the real #1 went on vacation for like 3 weeks, otherwise I am consistently in the top three 99% of the time...

130 to 190.

Least you're #1 in something.

Yeah man. That can’t be healthy. I mean I’m sure you’re aware but that’s crazy in the amount of weight in that time period. How many signs were you lifting before? Lol. From a legitimately caring perspective, get that shit back on track!

Or maybe you were so depressed at the old job
You weren’t eating and your supposed to be sub 190lbs lol!

sonick 07-23-2024 07:32 AM

Do your past customers even recognize you when they come back when their lease was up? Lol jk but fr agree with the health converns that's crazy.

underscore 07-23-2024 08:49 AM

So what do you guys do to cut weight when you're not *too* far off from where you should be? Long story short I should be 150-160ish, now I'm at 185. Everything I see is for people trying to drop more than that/have already dropped more than that and are just trying to continue on for the last 20lbs.

68style 07-23-2024 09:07 AM

No sugars, less processed food and don't eat past 9pm... you'll lose it in a couple months if you're strict on that.

mikemhg 07-23-2024 09:59 AM

60lbs in the span of a little over a year is a lot, a fuckton lot.

Clearly your eating habits have changed, you certainly need to get on top of that.

I do hope the stress of this job hasn't been the causation of that rapid weight gain, because if so, you might need to reconsider some things there.

Agreed. That is a massive change. Curious if you've gotten any professional opinion on overall health on it?

My biggest fluctuation was about 30lbs drop over a course of a year. It was so noticible that some of my friends were concerned I had contracted some disease or health was in jeopardy. Cant imagine one twice that amount.

I think the key to maintaining a healthy weight and being healthy in general is to marry someone (or have a side piece) who is active and healthy. I'm sorta kidding but I see the friends who married someone active and healthy and they naturally become active and healthy as well.

OTOH, I married someone who is largely sedentary (who can't cook) while I'm also a fairly sedentary person (who loves to cook and eat) and, surprise, surprise, we don't exercise much and each pretty rich food.

The other option is to find a hot young girlfriend so you're suddenly motivated to get into shape.

68style 07-23-2024 10:21 AM

Well, we know which route supa is going :ifyouknow:

If he shows up to the next N00b meet all chiseled, we'll know what's up

Badhobz 07-23-2024 03:59 PM

Hey you guys are mean to dark ! So what if he put on a little weight. Don’t fat shame him !

Take it from a life long fat fuck

dark0821 07-23-2024 05:06 PM

hahaha thanks for the concerns guys...

No, just 100% down to my bad eating habit, I was at one point 220LBs almost a decade ago, went to do blood work, 30 yrs old, and have the three highs (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar)... my doc just told me

Fuck son, you are frikkin 30

I can put you on meds, but you have to realize these meds once you start, you can't stop, and these drugs have some fucked up side effects. Most people start them when they are already in their senior years, so when the side effects catches up, you are already in your 90s or whatever...

You need to get your shit together

So I lost 90 lbs over a year and a little bit, just what everyone said
- cut sugar
- don't drink
- no eating after 6pm

I went from waist 40 to 28 for my pants

Now I am getting fat again LOL, and I realize losing weight is way harder when you are almost 40... holy fook.... but will try again to lose weight....because my Canada Goose is XS, and I cant afford to buy a second one lololol, all jokes aside, I can feel myself just being unhealthy, I do want to get in shape again....

So why don't we make it a challenage to give me motivation, it is July 23rd today, lets see where I am come Xmas time.

This is me today

This is where I want to be again!

Please bump every month and give me shit if I am not losing weight...

RabidRat 07-23-2024 05:51 PM

I'm in too. I gained a bunch of weight flying to Montreal every week lol. Need to drop probably 10-15.

EvoFire 07-23-2024 05:56 PM

129lbs is too little for you though, I would say it would be healthy at 140-150

You are right sir, I think I was happiest 140LB +/-5 LBs and I think that is where 90% of my wardrobe fits as well...

the 129LBs was wild though, you have to realize that photo was fully clothed in winter... the 182 just now was just T-shirt + boxers lol

Just go work at the Porsche dealer across from you - the ladies there seem a lot more "motivating" based on their staff photos.

68style 07-23-2024 07:17 PM

I'm about 184 right now as well... I can't remember your height though, I'm 183cm so it's about right for me with some muscle... 170-175 if I'm being donk

My wife was always more active and healthy than me but since kids we've lost the time for basically all of our hobbies, let alone the healthy ones. On top of that I went from a low-stress, semi-physical job to a higher-stress WFH desk job.

I already don't eat much sugar, barely drink, trimmed down my breakfast, cut most of the evening snacks and we cook most of our own meals but I think it's daytime carby snacks that are getting me. It's way too easy for me to stress/boredom eat something "small" when I'm working since I'm at home.

Time for an RS weight-loss accountability thread? July 23 - Dec 23 is 5 months. Dec 24/25 will be mulligan days so see how we can do before then.

EvoFire 07-23-2024 09:38 PM

Cut the carbs, cut the sugary drinks and adding just a little more exercise would make a huge difference.

Riding your motorcycle instead of driving would probably make a difference as well.

I'm 180cm, and being rather largish for a Chinese guy, if I am working out regularly 170-180lbs would be normal for me. I was 175lbs right before covid as I had a cushy job, there was a work gym that I went to everyday before lunch, and ate a healthy cooked at home diet.

During covid I switched jobs to a higher stress job, and zero heavy weight workouts and I dropped to 150lbs in the middle of it.

I'm hovering around 160-165lbs now but my fitness has taken a nose dive.

Oh great, a thread full of shirtless photos taken in the bathroom of each of us posted weekly as proof of our weight loss efforts. Enough man boobs for Hobz to get permanent erectile dysfunction. Who says No to this?
