Wednesday Weekly Weigh-in

JFG · November 16, 2023, 11:05pm

Got on the scale this morning. Not good. Put me down for next week.

Hip_tiger · November 17, 2023, 12:33am

“Put me down …” seems a bit extreme. Weight is just a number.

I forgot to get on the scale.

Not really sure where I need to set my weight right now. I look at the scale at home, it seems like maybe I’m dropping but then I go get it checked at the workout place and it’s barely moved.

Pisses me off, kind of soul-crushing, and I’m trying to decide how hard do I need to work out to start really losing weight without it backfiring and resulting in injury or exhaustion or feeling like I want to eat more to make up for all that exercise?

dr_t_non-fan · November 21, 2023, 5:54pm

Remember that losing weight is more about how much AND what you eat than working out. Working out makes your body healthier, but won’t necessarily help you lose weight. Hit the weights and sweat. And, modify your diet to more protein intake and fewer shitty carbs from boxes. Protein will help your muscles grow, which increases your base metabolic rate. That is what I preach. (Practice? Oh, I wish.)

Lily · November 22, 2023, 5:34am

Yeah, losing weight is definitely mostly about what you eat. Working out makes you healthier, feel better, and makes you less likely to be extremely overweight. It doesn’t really move the needle otherwise. I second the stuff about protein. Certain foods cause people to overeat, such as diet soda, sugar, french fries, chocolate, etc. Certain foods cause people to eat less, such as protein, a no-sugar diet, warm drinks/soup, etc. Some foods are good for you and pretty neutral, like whole grains, dairy (unless you are part of the enormous group that doesn’t eat dairy as an adult). Fruit works for some people and not for others. Vegetables are great but probably slightly overrated. Everyone’s different but there are studies on this stuff too.

Last 2 residuals are quite negative, estimated slope improves even if things stay flat this week. Need to hit 209.9 next week to get slope below -0.5.

Woke up with a headache so I think some of that loss is dehydration.

95% of weight management is diet. you can work out as hard as you want, if you don’t change what you’re putting in your body it won’t make a substantial difference.

Wish I could be so cowardly as to not post my weight…

Right at the worst eating time of year. Plan to cut back on mashed popo’s and stuffing. Stick to turkey and ham. No dessert. But there will be alcohol consumed, as bro-in-law has too many full wine bottles.

Summary

I didn’t bother to save my weight history from the ao before it got canned. I started making an effort to drop some weight in late 2018 when I hit 206. Was between 180-185 for most of 2020. I’d look best around 160, but I am not willing yet to make the concessions on diet and exercise to get there. I like to eat well and I know what it takes to get me to 160. I think 170ish is a good goal for now.

Highest adult weight was 235 and lowest was 160. Both were over 20 years ago. I’m 5’11"

I had gotten out of the habit of the weekly weigh in since the ao died, so starting over.

I normally only weigh on Wednesday. I intentionally waited until today instead as I’m curious about the before/after on a day of gluttony.

I will take a long walk today, and will try not to eat anything until festivities begin.

JFG · November 23, 2023, 4:29pm

Yeah, I weighed myself this morning to compare to yesterday and tomorrow. Otherwise planning on sticking with weekly.

Thanksgiving weight gain: 1.0lbs

I took no leftovers home, so that should be it

I was under 209 on Saturday, so disappointing to see a number above where last week was. Looking at the monthly averages to smooth out the noise is much more encouraging.

I could lose anything up to 40 pounds (was at 227, 4 months ago), but 20 pounds would be nice.
