no one has to reveal if they choose not to phil. I didnt think the men would be quite so uptight about it.

I've actually gained some and a little larger than once was.

was wondering if folks gain more over the winter months and what they plan to do to shed it if anything

Well, I currently weigh about 10-15 lbs more than I really want to.

My method for getting to where I want to be? I just started going back to the gym every morning at about 6:30am and working out with free weights, sitting in the sauna and playing racqetball when I can.

Yep... we are all part Grizzly!:tease

I actually am battling the recent onset of sever insulin resistance and early onset Type 2 Diabetes. This lethal combination resulted in a sudden weight gain of over 40 pounds in less than two months. Since diagnosis I have been able to stabilize but not lose any of the weight. I am currently at the same basic weight as Berkley but in no way am I a blue denim whale-male.

My goal and target is to get back to my fighting weight of around 225# which gets me under a 36 inch waist while maintaining my barrel chest and tree trunk legs.:killinme :killinme

[Trouvere]

none of your business.I do not plan to shed either.I have a huge closet of all brand new clothes.

Why do you say that, Thad?

Trouv,

don't let the closet discourage you from being healthy... I can testify to having everything from 36" to 44" waist pants in my closet. I am keeping the small ones for motivators and reminders that it is possible if I get my health back in check and regulated properly!

[Theresa]

Thad

having to let your pants out from what? 28 to a 30? isnt that tramautic!!

[Subdued]

I don't mind sharing... of course, I've lost weight, so perhaps that's why!

I'm female, 5'5", approximately 149 lbs. (up from 143). I began eating lower carb in February 2005 & lost about 50 lbs., but during the Christmas season ('06), I began splurging (which I didn't think I'd ever do)... it was the Christmas Tea at my kids' school that did me in! I usually have a lot of will-power and refuse sweets, despite my intense "sweet tooth," but gave in to those Christmas cookies anyway.

When the Christmas cookies didn't seem to cause a weight gain, I decided that eating potato chips wouldn't hurt either - so... well... I'm now up 6 lbs.

THEREFORE, I'm back to strict low(er) carb again and plan to stick to that way of eating for life. I don't think I'll "splurge" again, as I prefer to be thinner & I just generally feel better when I keep the carbs/sugars low.

BTW, I opened this thread while eating some low carb chocolate, which I made:

4 T coconut oil (melted)
2 T cocoa
1/4 C Davinci's White Chocolate flavored (sugar free/Splenda sweetened) syrup
1/8 t liquid Stevia
1.5 T peanut butter

Mix all of the above well, spread on parchment paper, freeze - eat.

Tastes great, is low carb, curbs the chocolate cravings, plus I get the benefits of coconut. Can't complain!

[rgcraig]

I tell people I haven't lost the baby fat yet.......my baby is 19.

With my 1st, I gained 55 lbs. Forty-five with my 2nd; and 37 with my third! I was 110 lbs. when I got married in 1988... It sure would be nice to be THAT weight again! Ain't gonna happen! I'd settle for 130, though.

Actually I go to the gym every day at that same time. I lift first and then I walk on a tread mill for at least two miles. I also ride my bike when the weather permits.

unfortunately I am still not losing a single solitary ounce or inch. I go 5 or 6 days a week and I am getting stronger and fitter everywhere except in the gut and the junk in the trunk! i have been on this routine and controlled diet since the first week of January (after the diagnosis of Diabetes) and I have lost nothing, nada, zilch, zero!

Muscle weights more then fat... just remember that.

muscle may be more denser or whatever - 5 lbs of fat takes up more "space" probably but......

but 5 lbs of fat, weighs the same as 5 lbs of muscle :)


5 is 5 no matter how you look at it LOL

[philjones]

This is great!!!

You might not be losing weight but you are gaining more muscle. I'm sure you feel better physically. Is your diabetes better? Keep it up!

Actually, I am not progressing well in my weight or my diabetes. To clarify my situation, I have been a workout and fitness fanatic for years because i am very aware of family tendencies for obesity and the associated ills like diabetes and heart trouble so I never was really unfit... just had a sudden unbelievable weight gain due to extreme insulin resistance and the onset of type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, insulin resistance makes you gain weight in the abdomen and gluteal region which exacerbates insulin resistance which causes more fat retention in the aforementioned areas which causes more insulin resistance... you get the picture... I can't lose weight because I am insulin resistant and I am insulin resistant because I can't lose weight.

They currently have me only on glucofage for my T2 Diabetes and it is not really doing enough... my fasting blood sugar this morning while on the medication was 161. The past 7 days it has averaged about 145. Normal is between 70 and 90 and prediabetic is 91 to 120 or 125. Anything over 125 is considered full blown Type 2 Diabetes.

I meet with my doctor on the 19th and I am hoping that at that time she will add other medications to try to get the sugar under control. I am already suffering from Diabetic neuropathy (numbness, burning and real pain) in my feet and hands. I don't want this to get out of control.. they say the problem comes when you no longer feel the numbness, pain and burning....

I appreciate your interest, encouragement and most importantly your prayers!

This always cracks me up. I work out at the YMCA and they actually have a poster on the wall that says "muscle weighs more than fat"...

I pointed it out to the director and he argued with me for a few minutes before the concept of density, volume and mass finally soaked in.

IN their March poster, it said it correctly... muscle is denser than fat and therefore the same weight takes up less volume resulting in less mass!:ty

Yep! You have to get out of the golf cart, grab a club, and swing...hoping it doesn't end up in the woods where you have to walk around trying to find it. Then you have to walk back to the golf cart, sit back down, and drive close to where you hit the ball.

you may not - I gained 70!!!!!!!! yes 70 pounds with my first child..

lost it in TWO WEEKS

most of it was FLUID

seriously!!!

I left a huge puddle on the floor in my OBs office when I went in for my week later checkup (I had a C section)

Apparently my incision sprung a leak...

my OB was like....HAHA, I was wondering if you'd do that when you stood up

my dh says "clean up on aisle 3"

I of course wasnt amused b/c I thought something was horribly wrong with me...

do you squish when you walk? :killinme


I gained 80 with my first.

Well meaning friends said that breast feeding would help me lose it.

It did.

I lost 20.

The baby weighed 10 lbs. 9 oz.

I was somewhat like that with my first. I gained a TON of weight and it was mainly fluid, i lost my weight quickly. However I started out weighing about 20 pounds more when I got pregnant this time than when I get pregnant the first time. And I am just now starting to swell in my legs - it's not too bad yet.

Most of you already know my info, but for anyone who doesn't.

I currently weigh 193.6 and am 5'5"

Now, most women would never admit that publicly in a million years, after all, I am at least 45 pounds overweight.

However, the fact that I have actually lost 86.4 pounds in the last 9 months, makes me pretty proud of where I am. :bliss

I am a short person 5"2" maybe 5'3" and I have a short torso, so just an extra 5 pounds around the midsection can make me look HUGE!! Which is why I loved the low carb diet I did after I had my daughter because you loose all your belly fat first!

Mich you are a great inspiration ,I have 159lbs to lose to get to my ideal weight,I would love to lose 86.4 lbs in the next 9 months.

[Michlow]

Oh Michi, you are an inspiration! You're a rock star, girl! I'm proud of you...keep up the phenomenal work! I love it!

I wish my husband would say that! He has been less then thrilled about my weight loss since I started turning my eyes towards his ever increasing belly :heeheehee

When I started, I actually weighted 5 pounds more than my 6'6" husband. But after losing 85 pounds and him gaining some...I now weigh 105 less. :highfive

[Michlow]

Mich you are a great inspiration ,I have 159lbs to lose to get to my ideal weight,I would love to lose 86.4 lbs in the next 9 months.

Well, I am proof that it can be done! Without surgery or any crazy fad diets or anything. Just good old fashioned healthy eating and plenty of exercise.

If you have any questions or anything don't hesitate to ask...PM me if you are more comfortable with that.

Maybe I should start a "Dear Michi" weight loss thread.... :hmmm

On second thought...the last dear {poster} thread didn't go over so well ;)

[HeavenlyOne]

I weigh the same that I have always weighed.

You weigh less than 10 lbs?????

[Praxeas]

I'm going to save your blog and visit it...I am assuming you have outlined in the blog how you did it?

My all-time high was 240 pounds back in 2004, then I went down from 230 to 195 pounds and I looked good there, but think my ideal weight would be 185. Then I slowly made it back to around 205...went on a cruise with my wife last spring and put on around 10-15 pounds in one week (I totally violated all my rules)...from there on it has been a down hill shame...and now I am around 5 pounds away from my all time high...I refuse to go out and buy new clothes to fit me...so it is do or die for me. I need to get back under 200...

Anyway, the hubby is just jealous cuz you look fantastic! :highfive :heeheehee

In this corner, in the blue trunks, standing 6 foot tall and weighing in at 230 pounds is freeatlast.

Yes that's 230 pounds of raw tiger meat, stretched over spring steel backwards and ready to pounce.

and what's your goal either way ?


and how do you plan to get there ?


some people weigh a lot but are tall so it all evens out.

Nov 2005 I was 250 I am now 190. I got to 173, my wife wanted me to gain a few back. Get off the soda, bread and candy. Work out 30 minutes a day.

That is the cure.

At 42 I have never felt better..

[Fonix]

I weigh 155 pounds. Im not overweight, Just under height.

Hey, Thad...I completely understand where you're coming from. I, too, have been thin my whole life and started gaining and had to have clothes let out. It's so frustrating, and people who have always had a weight problem don't understand how freaked out skinny people get when their clothes don't fit. (5 ft 9, climbed to 177 pounds!) I found the greatest weight-loss product. It's called "Kathy Smith Walk Fit" -- it's CDs where you walk to the beat of the music (instrumental) for 30 minutes. She starts out slow, speeds up till you feel like your legs will fall off, then cools down. It's incredible.... I'm already down 20 pounds in the past few weeks. I have two weeks left until spring break and I intend to hit the 25-pound mark by that time. I intend to get back to my svelt 145 before summer.

I feel your pain, hon! :highfive
