Corcaigh Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I said 1-9 but I'm a pathological liar who suffers from delusions and is guilty of denial, so let's say it was on the upper end of that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsluggo Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 i gained about the exact same amount i did last year... i went from the upper 160s to the mid 180s i just started biking again this week, so if history is a predictor of the future, i will gain another 5+ pounds in the next week or two...and then start to drop it off what is weird, is that i think i put on almost all of the weight on in November.. and then it somewhat stabilized. yay for spring!!!

Corcaigh Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm on a four-day exercise streak with the brighter evenings so hopefully with a little moderation on all the cookies, chocolate and wine it won't be too long before the chubby folks will be asking me again if I'm unwell as I look so scrawny.

Redskin4ever Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I said 1 - 9, because my weight doesn't fluctuate that much. I work out, but I've eaten like a pig since Christmas. I can see I'm more muscular, but also can see where all the fat is going to my waist and some to my face. I suspect I gained about 7 or 8 pounds. I have a health check at work in 10 days, so I'll get the official word on my body fat % and how much it has gone up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I probably loaded about ten,, this was a rough winter for me. I play a lot of tennis starting about now through November.. but every year,, from September through January i have about 5 or 6 birthday to help celebrate, various holidays and their feasts.. and it just adds up. (Plus, my wife is one of those people who will impulsivley buy a half gallon of ice cream because she wants a small amount... and then it'll be in the freezer... and i just can't have that. She says "You don't HAVE to eat it..." to which i shake my head and wonder how she figures that to be possible. She may as well lay heroin next to a junkie and expect it to be there in the morning. So i spend spring / summer removing what i packed on, and then I do it all over again. the good news is other than the 10 pound or so fluctuation, i manage to stay somewhat steady. i could stand to drop 25 lbs permanently, but so long as I'm not ballooning up, I can live with it. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With age you realize that many hot chicks are more interested in money than looks. Plus you've already established why they are interested in you, it's just a matter of negotiating price.

jobaga Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I gained about 15 lbs this winter. It was an awful combination of my treadmill breaking, my territory getting bigger (more time driving, less time moving) and getting older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIX! she is killing me! (it is the Black Label Turkey Hill stuff.. the only brand left that doesn't use any thickeners (guar gum, or the like) or preservatives. i would say that it is like handing a loaded heroin needle to an addict... but i think heroin addicts would say getting handed a loaded needle is like having six gallons of Turkey Hill taunting them...

Skinz4Life12 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've probably stayed the same since fall but I've dropped a bit of weight over the past 15 months from surfing 4 days a week on average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 smuggling ICBMs, are we? no smuggling involved... proudly displayed in the launcher. Every trip to the pool is like a May-day parade. i expect generals to salute as i strut by I've probably stayed the same since fall but I've dropped a bit of weight over the past 15 months from surfing 4 days a week on average that is the way to do it....

PokerPacker Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've lost weight mainly due to being too lazy to make food fairly often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I put on about 8 pounds on top of 10 or so too much that I was carrying over. I'm officially now the heaviest I have ever been and in the worst shape. Starting at a buck forty that 18 pounds that all reside on my belly mark me as a solidly middle aged guy, no more skirting that issue. A recent doctor appointment showing high end of normal cholesterol and slightly high blood sugar has sworn me off the fatty steaks and cookies for a while. Mostly. Now I just have to get more serious about exercise, which presents some challenges in my case. I have gone a couple years without the ciggies now, so there's that in my favor.

SoulSkin Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 15-20. Gets to be a little more every year. Right now I'm on my annual Adkins/low carb diet. I'll be down those 15-20 in 3-4 weeks, then carb the hell out for a day or two and promptly gain 5 back. I get rolling on the Adkins diet and lose about 2 pounds a day for the first couple of weeks. Slows down after a couple of weeks, and eventually I stop losing weight, and am dying for a piece of bread anyway. The rest of the summer I'll slowly lose a little from lots of work. When football season returns, so does my fat ass alter ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Didn't all happen during winter but 25-30 in the last year. The combination of having a kid and a bunch of small nagging injuries disrupted my diet and work out schedule. I've found a happy medium that works with my new situation though so I'll be back to where I want soon. I've already dropped 7 of those unwelcome pounds, rest should be gone in three months time. Assuming I can avoid leg injuries for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I probably gained about 5 pounds, but the harder part is taking it off. My daughter is a girl scout and they brought home 3 boxes of cookies last night (in addition to the 3 that they brought home two weeks ago). Thin Mints aren't making me thin.

Yohan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I gained 7 pounds. I was doing really well from when I stopped biking mid November until the end of January. I had gallbladder surgery the end of January and was told to stop all activity until the first week of March. Sucks to see the numbers go the other way after working so hard to lose it, but my doctor said it is a sign that everything is working correctly. The weather has been fantastic, and I will be back on the bike tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I gained weight over the holidays. Like three pounds in two weeks. I lost it before school started back up. Since then it's been going up and down. I'm still about the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've stayed about the same, usually 180-185. Hope I can get down to about 170ish. That's the hard part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin Mints are dangerous, but Samoas are the true enemy and my relationship with them is basically Stockholm Syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
