Let's see.... Went back to school. Found my future wife. Got a dog. Picked a new career path. Oh, and I bought a motorcycle.
Got a serious gf. Got a dog (https://www.facebook.com/MisterRump). Got a new job about four years ago. Broke my wrist last summer (first broken bone I'd ever had). Got rid of my car. Compared to the couple of years before it the changes of the last five years of my life have been relatively mild Ed O.
...I have moved from Southern California to Miami Beach...to Long Island...and back to Oregon last summer! Those are four drastically different corners in the US.
This is my current goal. I was pretty fat, around 260 when I quit smoking, and shot up to 300. Now, I'm trying to peel that back. I don't mind being chubby, but I'm sick of being fat. My long term goal is 225. If I get there, my guess is Ill move my goal to 200. But it's fucking hard. Been biking every day, up big fat hills. Been trying to watch what I eat, but damn I like food that's not low cal. Anyway, that's what I'm working on now. Dropped about 15lbs so far, down to 285, so its working, just slowly. Perhaps I'll pick up some meth on the way home.
The way you're losing it is the right way. You are increasing your metabolism and naturally losing weight. Once you lose it; it should stay off. Diets and such will only be temporary.
You should also give swimming a shot. I was in the best shape of my life when I was swimming three days a week and biking two or three days as well. Swimming will work all your muscles and also give you great cardio. You think you're in good shape until you climb into a pool. I would highly recommend it. Plus, it doesn't hurt your joints like running does.
I had the exact same starting goal as you! I was 285 at my biggest, got down to 225 initially. I kind of got stuck there for a little while, but then I made 200 my goal. I hadn't been 200 since before my freshman football season. I now hover between 190 and 200. It feels fucking awesome, keep it up!
My most drastic change has been the way I eat. Most the food I eat is organic or naturally produced. I've stayed away from soda. I'm still pretty fat (5'8" at 220lbs), but I feel healthier.
Got super sick and lost my colon, got a good paying job, got yoked, banged as many skanky broads that time will allow
OK, I have a pool I could use up here at OHSU, and I used to be a real good swimmer way back in the day, was on swim team and all. What would you reccomend for someone 285lbs and has not swam much lately if I jump back in the pool? It's hard for me to judge intensity in the pool since I don't overheat like I do on the bike. Should I just freestyle, or do I need to switch it up will breast stroke (sounds much better than it is) or the butterfly? Just give me some pointers, I have been thinking about adding this anyway, since this is PDX and the rain will certainly find it''s way back. It would be nice to swim more in the rainy season. Thanks
Thats quite an odd mix of stuff. Much better that banging a bunch broads with yoked colons, they could punch it up and rip your dick off. I think I saw you working recently between Hawthorne and Belmont around 28th, but was in too much of a rush to actually slow down and yell hello. I'll introduce myself sometime if I see you in my hood again.
Alas, I can't swim and don't have pool access - maybe we'll finally get one at Genentech? Have a gym, clubhouse, outdoor volleyball and basketball courts but no pool. Possibly liability issues. A person might sprain an ankle playing volleyball but someone could drown in a pool.
