fat guy project

[M4wdFab]

End of Jan this year i woke up and decided my weight was out of control and i had enough of it 
288 lbs and felt like shit mentally and physically.  back, shoulders, knees killing me.  I have always been over weight since middle school and i know it will be a struggle to maintain this but i have been having fun with about 1hr of my day committed to change.  Im pretty good and driving towards goals, i just havent put that drive towards my health more than a few times in my adult life.   

started eating clean (eggs, chicken, fish, veggies 99%) and no junk
quit drinking alcohol 100%
daily 5 min full body stretch
daily 20 minute bow flex upper arms and core       https://youtu.be/bnbieBUFZK0
daily 20 minute madfit youtube full body exercise and cardio    https://youtu.be/IT94xC35u6k
daily 15 minute HIIT spin bike youtube    https://youtu.be/6ScNxo7fhcg

Other than 2 week Utah vacation i have only missed like 3 days of my daily workouts since Jan 26th. 


down to 226lbs today and still working towards goals!

Very good!

I'm heading the opposite direction 

Was 190 in Dec.  Now 210.   Need to watch my diet. Still working out regularly but I've been eating more/unhealthy.  It's all in the diet.

Nice job Mike! Keep it up! Or down in this case…

Excellent job! 

Its definitely all in the diet.  Big food and big pharma have destroyed health in this country.  Sugar, soy, corn, carbs; 90% of the supermarket is straight up poison. 

I've been on a meat, dairy and spinach diet for 4-5 years now and it works very well for me.  We buy all of our eggs, meat and diary from local farms.

I've found CBD very beneficial as well.  Since I started taking it last year, I dont get cramps, get sore or need recovery time.

did a pull up for the first time this week in 10-12years @215 today

215? Shit, you're gonna have me beat in another couple days. Well done
I am reliably back under 210 again but holding just there at 207-209 first thing in the morning...

switched over to 36" waist shorts today first time since high school.   man it is so nice to wear a pair of pants without a belt for the first time in 3 months.  i hate belts.  but 38"s are all my stuff and fall to my ankles with out a belt now.

nice work!   over time it will be your new "normal"
My favorite thing was a weight tracker app that i could export the data and graph it.  Im a numbers/data guy, so it was perfect for me to track my progress.

i have slowly lost work out ambition this month, but still eating clean and still no alcohol

218 this morning, so still down 70lbs for over a year!

got lazy with exercise and eating last year and got back up to 245 a few weeks ago. 

tried to get back into exercise one day and legs were broken for 4 days after lol  mind def ahead of body.

so have been concentrating on eating 100% clean and more volume / less calories.  no sugar. fresh veggies, eggs, meat.

@ 233 today and going!


who would have thought mixing in cabbage with eggs was good? lol 

still 2 years alcohol free.

Now 220.   Damn.

+5 over the last 2 months to just kissing 220 here now as well.
zero effort taken.
losing titan was worth +10 over a year from activity change. losing dad didn't move the needle immediately; holiday stress/foods & winter = +5

need some effort, and some minus.
