You have to feed the body once the metabolism is reset and when you start burning that energy regularly. If the body gets a limited input for a sustained period of time, it thinks it's not going to get any input, so it saves it in fat reserves. Age plays a factor too, simply put, we don't have the metabolism like our teenage years that we do in our 30s, 40s and 50s.

I gained a substantial amount of weight after my last back injury, I couldn't lose weight because I couldn't exercise. Sure, I maintained my trim, fighting figure for a while, but eventually the lack of activity took it's toll. Two surgeries later, I can move and do stuff without constant nerve pain. Simply parking further from a door, or taking steps instead of elevator, etc; can do a lot to increase activity if schedule doesn't permit a 45-60 minute workout session. Some activity is better than no activity.

Caloric intake can be tricky and easy, I know that's not a great answer. Anything lower than 1000 calories is starving the body. Runners, high activity sports types, etc take in an enormous amount of calories/food. Even when sedentary, they burn that food off because their metabolism is high. It's use to getting a lot of food and burning energy, so it knows it doesn't have to "save" anything. Sodas, sugars, etc are ok in moderation, but too much of it and it can be disastrous on a body. You can trim down intake of foods and food types to lower caloric intake, but eventually that intake has to come back up, if you are exercising. Small meals or snicky-snacks is another way to kick start a metabolism. If the body knows it has constant input, even in small doses, it doesn't "save" anything.

Women and men store things differently. For example, women retain water and salt differently and in greater percentages. I don't recall the exact reasons why, I'm not a nutrionist, just a sports coach/former athelete/military guy. Weight control can be difficult, but like vaping, it can be simplistic for some and a trial/error thing for others. Also like vaping, there are common basic principles that apply generally, regardless of individuals though.

Stay motivated (you and/or him), these things take time. There isn't any overnight or one month/two month solution to weight loss.

Omg, you're a clone of my father lol. I was born in Quantico while he was in training there - he's a (retired) career Marine, a former pro athlete and coach. I feel like I know you lol.

I just wish we were past all that. That is what I'm trying to say. Sometimes my heart hurts so badly that I think it's going to burst.

I really do get that. I wish we were too. All you and I can do is to put peace out there. It does make a difference. While there is still fighting out there, there is far more diplomacy now than there used to be. We ARE evolving, it is a very slow proccess.

You're in Lake Oswego? The thought had crossed my mind when I sent that TC to you. We always go to lunch with my cousin in Tigard. Maybe a picnic by the lake is in order. I have to keep the kids out of the bleeding gift shops this time. The "buy me's" drive me nuts! I swear, these kids can find something they want at lighthouse gift shops.

My family breeds them... My dad was a Marine, most of my family are Navy (only one male wasn't Navy), and of course me. If the family history holds true (eldest male being Marine, the rest going Navy), this one will be a Marine:

and this one will go Navy:

Ok I have a dumb question. Just bought two storm tanks on the classys, and because I'm an awesome buyer, they are sending me a pre cut 3.2 Ohm ce2.....whats a ce2?? lol

 

[daisyd]

It's the atomizer part. Have you seen the clearomizers? Those are CE2's with a clear tube instead of metal.

 

[LilOperaGirl]

Oh ok cool. Guess he is sending an XL for me.
