Weight Loss Thread

This thread does seem to attract cool guys.

Funny non scale victory thing.. I had to buy new swim trunks because mine were laughably large. Medium.. a size I don't think I ever fit into even as a kid.

I also went shirtless to the beach and didnt feel too ashamed for once. I felt like I looked normal if that makes sense.

Some people just have difficulty with the facts of it. It comes down to two very specific rules.

1. Eat for the weight you want to be at. Do this and you will reach your weight goal without ever needing anything else. Counting calories is literally the only long term way to stay at a specific weight.
2. Exercise if you want to convert fat into muscle and shape/tone your body the way you want it to look.

Exercise will never affect your weight unless you are doing Olympic level workouts, and are going to continue doing them forever. It will, however, keep your body in much better physical shape than being a couch potato ever will. The long term benefits of improved cardiovascular health alone make this a no brainer.
