Weight Loss

[Peaceful]

Have you ever struggled with your weight? Do you actively try and loose weight or maintain your fitness?

I was a big boy when I was 13 - 18, started going to the gym at around 18, my weight was 100kg. I trained hard and have maintained around 70kg for the last 10 years. Gained a bit of muscle during that time at the gym and now mainly do Yoga, Running and riding to stay healthy now.

Was skinny as a kid but now I have to work maintain decent size. During the pandemic I've put on a few and stopped caring so much about fitness. I need to get back into it.

Struggled? Nope. I always carried it with pride.

Yep, always have struggled with my weight. I haven't tried much of anything diet wise. I have been unable to exercise due to chronic low back pain. :/

I did in high school all the time. I would love to get one or something again.

They're great for exercise that doesn't hurt your knees or back.

I'm probably going to keep gaining weight the more I am unemployed and the more I sit at this computer desk and shove food down my throat every day. I would take regular walks around the block, but it has been 100+ degrees outside lately, far too hot to take walks IMO. I guess I'm going to have to exercise inside or something, like good old fashion sit-ups.

Sweating in 100+ degree weather is good for you. Get all those toxins out. Just be sure to stay hydrated and take breaks when you need them.

I may consider some walks when it's cooler in the morning or at night.
