The Weight Loss Thread

[Coach]

Given this, I had a huge mocha frap from Starbucks w/ lunch. nice treat.

I was sick over Christmas, which always leads to significant weight loss, and even though I know it’s not good weight loss (and even though I’m sure I’ll rebound this week), I’m starting the year under 260, which is phenomenal. The jeans that I bought 2 months ago are actually almost too big now. I’ve got extra skin out the wazoo, but it’s all about being healthy, not looking good.

some of the skin will tighten

nothing better than fitting into your jeans and even better if they are a little too loose, nice work!

[Coach]

I’m due for a weigh in

Weight loss continuing

Pants loose! So is belt.

I gained about 15 pounds since the summer, but I'm getting back on track now. I will check in soon.

[Coach]

ok, that's not too bad

you could shed a lot of that within a few weeks

cardio plus weight lifting, and try to do low-moderate carbs

Great weigh in today.

It was after the first poop and pee.

Very light and agile today.

Since starting a dedicated regimen a year ago, I seem to gain/lose a couple of pounds all the damn time, like breathing. Is this normal?

happens to me too, and I'm not that dedicated, though I should be.

[Coach]

yes, water weight. it fluctuates between 3-7 pounds per day. if you eat a lot of carbs, sodium etc. you can weigh more cuz your body is holding onto water. very normal.

[96583UP]

yes just weigh yourself at the same time every day for me usually the morning, pre- any water drinks or coffee but usually post first pee, but pre- first poop

that gives the baseline

will vary dramatically relative to end of night

Thanks bros
