steakandtaters Walk-on

We had about 50 people sign up and we put money into a pot for prize money. It was hugely motivating for me - I went from 213 to 175 - lost the contest by three pounds (we counted % weight lost), but it was fun to get back in shape.

I'll give it a try... but I am, admittedly, dubious.

Nice job! Diet is the hardest part. Do you work out? That’s the additional 10%

Some walking at this point. But figuring out where to add weights at home. I bike a bit when it isn't freezing outside.

You live close to a gym or rather just do a home gym? You can always get a few

Honestly, I don't have the discipline to go to a gym regularly. But if it is easy and convenient...

Another thing I did, added a home gym. Would highly recommend it.

HCBW and I have found walking at night to be great for health and our marriage.

If you can walk, you can run. It's simple and effective. Way better than walking if you want results. Gyms suck.

My Trigylcerides are stupid high as well. I need to try this.

Now increase your water intake by an extra quart a day

Yeah, I am working on adding more water consistently.

Basically it looks like I've eaten a Big Mac right before I get my blood drawn but I am getting another draw next month.

Try taking niacin. Don't get the no flush. The flushing will stop

I began a diet on New Years Day and have been very strict. My update:

Nice. A diet or a change in eating? I intend to stick to this change.

Tokolosh

I intend to as well but realize how difficult that is. I lost 60 lbs a few years

BigEasyCougar

I did exactly what you're doing in 2017. I lost 55 pounds and I've kept it off

Question. Not sure if you're a consumer of caffeine like I am

RockyBalboa

It's a vice I've not yet given up. For now it's helping keep me good on all else... but I'm not chugging it all the time

Tokolosh

I'm an all too frequent chugger. Typically 4-5 cans of DP or Coke Zero a day

I'm in a similar boat. Lost about 5 lbs in 3 weeks. Mostly just cutting sugar

One change in mindset that has helped me is to constantly remember that food is fuel. Eat what you need, not what you
