It IS possible, if someone is seriously obese to start with. I've seen some 400+ women with fat feet.

Good progress. This is impressive at our age to be able to drop some of the pounds folks are reporting. Keep up with the A1C management. If you have not been tested, make sure your Doc does it at your next physical. As a type 1 diabetic it is my key metric on health. If you are above 6 and need some good reading on management and reducing it, check out this guys website. I've heard him speak and read his stuff. He's smart and practical.

I finally broke the below 170 barrier: 168.7 this morning, down from 208 3 years ago. Goal is still 150 and a 32" or less waist, which is near what I was when I was in the Army. I have been increasing my walking to as much as I do, with my bad back.

Progress continues. Exercise is still basically non-existent. Will it ever stop raining?!?
I really can't use that as an excuse since everything I need to get my heart rate up is readily available indoors. I'm just lacking in motivation... Down 16.8 YTD 01-Jan 228.2 08-Jan 224.2 15-Jan 221.6 22-Jan 219.9 29-Jan 217.3 05-Feb 215.8 12-Feb 214.1 19-Feb 213.6 26-Feb 213.1 04-Mar 211.4

2 Weeks counting calories like a vatican treasurer with a paid app and supposedly being in deficit 90% of the time and at worst, about even 10% of the time.... And yet: Zero loss... I mean nothing that registers outside of the realm of a good poop...
Either the apps are too vague (there are 20 kinds of steak burritos for example with a wildly varying calorie counts), or the exercise calories are wildly exaggerated, but it's not working at all so far ;-( I respond to the carrot more than the stick, if I only saw -3 lbs I'd be on this like white on rice, but zilch... Apps - 0 Maybe I need to check if body fat ratio changes, doubt it though... |

And yes, it's very hard to do with just exercise. At one time, I was fine with eating a lot of everything and anything but I was averaging 3 hours a day of hard cycling. Short of that, I have to eat fewer calories to lose weight.

Doc said back in nov 2019. Loose weight or you’ll be a diabetic. Am doing the keto diet. All the meat and bacon one can eat. Lost 27 lbs. from 190 in nov. Spent Xmas in Maui, no loco moco. It was hard. But don’t like needles.

Not on a diet but I've started trying to get fit which should hopefully bring some weight loss
Started rowing 30 mins each evening, into my 2nd week now and feeling better for it already Did a personal best tonight 7035 meters at a stroke rate between 18-20 with a 2min 8.2sec avr/500m. Calories burnt was 436 No idea if this is above or below average for my 52 yr age but as I was dead nearly 3 yrs ago I'll take any distance as a win!

Unsalted almonds are like potato chips and cottage cheese is like ice cream. Check the carbs. Lettuce is cheating but ok too. You can't have a bean or a carrot to save your life. You gotta work that dirty keto.

Weight loss is fine but don't get extreme about it. I went from 202 to 170 for training purposes (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) but the benefits simply weren't worth it for me. Yes I had abbs and yes my cardio was slightly better, but I lost a noticeable amount of strength and overall just didn't feel as durable. Bulked back up to 190ish which seems to be the sweet spot for me. I feel 100% better overall even without abbs.

I have to say that my creating this post has really helped me to stay on track.
Even if it's small losses, knowing that I am going to post results makes me think twice before I snack on something I shouldn't. So, slowly progress is being made. I'm down 18.9 YTD. 01-Jan 228.2 08-Jan 224.2 -4.0 15-Jan 221.6 -2.6 22-Jan 219.9 -1.7 29-Jan 217.3 -2.6 05-Feb 215.8 -1.5 12-Feb 214.1 -1.7 19-Feb 213.6 -0.5 26-Feb 213.1 -0.5 04-Mar 211.4 -1.7 11-Mar 210.8 -0.6 18-Mar 209.3 -1.5
