no skinny for me is a 32 waistline...right now I'm pushin 36 and it was 38.....

Oh boy... 30 here and I have to cinch the belt.

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

I'm doing much better with my lung capacity back...been logging those hrs on a treadmill...

 

[MagnusEunson]

That's what I was thinking, I get plenty of exercise normally and w/ a 3yo I've basically got an exercise equivalent of a tapeworm. I'm eating the donuts just to survive. ;-) -Magnus

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

I dont have that luxury yet...sittin on my .... with the exception of therapy took its toll...Dr chewed me out for thinking I was superman... lifted a 3ft by 6ft by 1 1/2 ft deep concrete pad enough to stuff a cinderblock in place to keep it up...then fell as the pain from my leg hit me...

worth it in my opinion it was the wifes favorite...he lived another 3 yrs...

 

[MagnusEunson]

Wait. What was your wife's favorite? Did you use the gender reference for the concrete pad? I'm lost.

And DON'T DO THAT if the Dr. said no. Traction is no fun. -Magnus

How do you guys do it? I was skinny until I started vaping. I gained 50 lbs this past year. I've had to buy boxers every three months. I am now up to extra, extra chubby.

MM is a hero. He saved his wife's favorite dog.

I eat what I want, whenever I want... It's probably genetics on my mother's side. After 7 kids she looks fantastic, though she would disagree. My dad? Not so much though he has lost a lot of weight since giving up sugar. Not a low carb diet... He just thinks table sugar is evil -- like some sort of "demon."

Actually, now that I mention it, I can only think of a handful of people in my extended family that would be considered overweight and I have a H U G E extended family. Over 70 first cousins on my mother's side alone.

So... genetics. Definitely genetics.

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

Too late magnus...and I already did traction 2 surgeries and a year and a half physical therapy...

same here nate...prob was a lot of sitting on my tush and steriods

before that my highest ever weight was 210 and that was working out and well muscled...

funny thing is I lost a lot of muscle from sitting around so I weigh less now but I have a belly...185 2 weeks ago...

5'10"

 

[DC2]

I am 6'5" and about 250 right now, and I still need to lose around 30 pounds.

I was on the low-carb a few years ago and it worked well for me, but not quite as well for my wife.
Now I'm on Weight Watchers, because the wife is on Weight Watchers, and she does all the cooking.


Anyway, the point is that I freaking LOVE donuts, but haven't had one in at least two years.

I don't miss cigarettes anymore, or even think about them.
But I miss donuts, and I think about them every damn time I drive by a donut place.

And the same goes for hamburgers, candy bars, pizza, carne asada burritos, and lots of other things.
But yeah, cigarettes? No thanks. Not even remotely interested.

If you limit your sugar and carbohydrate intake you WILL lose weight. If you drink a lot of soda/pop/coke just switch to sugar free (coke zero is excellent) and you will see a difference!

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

Meh I have a limited menu I will eat and a good bit is junk...Aspies are picky eaters...

I just make sure I do something to burn what I eat now...

and I switched to Ozarka from Pepsi when I started vaping...

Coming from someone who has never been "fat" my opinion probably isn't going to hold much weight (cue rimshot), but...

I've always understood it as "if you limit your calorie intake you will lose weight." Empty calories from soda doesn't help. I'm not sure diet soda helps either. I've seen far too many people "supersize" their order simply because they thought that since they weren't drinking their calories they could eat more. Basically diet sodas and artificial sweeteners skew our idea of what the calorie count of our food is. I'm sure synthetic sweeteners also impact the body's insulin response, but I don't have hard evidence on that theory.

I saw a picture of a dachshund some pages back. Don't know what the context was, but I hope it's not too late to post Rosa, my mom's dachshund:

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

I've never been on a diet per se, but since I eat whatever my wife cooks and she is on a diet, I suppose you could say I am too.

The only "food" I could probably do with less of is soda. I love my soda. You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands! Even then, I'm already limiting myself. I'm drinking more water since I started vaping, so naturally I drink less soda.

Watch Supersize Me and Fathead. In that order.
