I've started to drink a lot more water lately, but I wanna make sure that I don't flush out the vitamins or electrolytes or whatever, so I've been adding some lime in.

I'm looking into yoga for flexibility, and some type of self defense training to know i could beat people up if i had to...but first I got to figure out how to manage not being so worn out from work

Other than sodium my food choices are pretty good its just that I need to eat smaller portions and learn to live being a little hungry. I often eat a majority of my calories in the evening closer to bed. Find it difficult to sleep on an empty stomach

I've been trying to help my health with wellness through fitness

2/26/2025 4:35:01 PM

i've done push ups everyday for 2 months, going for a year straight. can tell a big difference already

5/12/2025 5:46:51 PM

Rode my bike last 2 days. I always tell myself to do stuff like ^, seems so simple, not a lot of time, etc...and I just can't get the motivation

5/12/2025 9:06:24 PM

^^ how many sets and how many reps/set?

i have started doing around 30-50 bodyweight squats daily. i want to incorporate pushups as well, and then eventually pullups.

5/13/2025 4:26:16 AM

Anybody Cold plunge or Sauna. been cold plunging (3 min) for about 18 month everyday, and sauna 3-5 times a week 10-20 mins

Do 30-45 strength train (3 days a week), but need to add cardio.

5/13/2025 1:48:16 PM

^^

2 or 3 sets of as many as i can do in a row. can do 40 first set after 2 months, started closer to 25

Keeping playing basketball twice a week. But that may not be enough. My weight is still increasing.
Thinking about find a part-time job at Y to completely change my lifestyle.

5/19/2025 10:19:09 AM

Started off the year strong, gym, walking, fasting, etc and saw significant weight loss...

Then my sciatica started acting up and that allllll went to hell.

It still comes and goes randomly, believe it is how I sleep and from sitting around too long.

Got back on it once that "healed" and then my knee started telling me to slow down, never had knee issues before so I took it light...

Never got back into it, but today I have started back.

Hopefully I will treat my body better and get back.

5/19/2025 12:40:06 PM

^^ why is your weight increasing, dude?

either:

1) you are way overeating (to more than offset even the bb???), or
2) you are still growing (are you 13?), or
3) you have a serious metabolic disorder

if it's not 1 or 2, then go see a doctor who is knowledgeable about these things.

if it's 1, then cut back. get help from a nutritionist if needed.

if it's 2, how are you on this website???

5/23/2025 3:15:43 AM

Basically it's 1. I love food, so I still keep eating. Also positive attitude/happiness helps growing fatter, I'm just saying.

Doing hoops is beneficial, but I only play at Thomas Brooks Park, which is a small outdoor court in West Cary, for about one hour each time. So the overall calories burnt are far less than enough.

Yes, I should refer to a nutritionist for more smart advices.

weight gain and ongoing obesity seem to be an imbalance of hormones, ghrelin and leptin among others

i recall thinking those "6 min abs" DVDs for sale decades ago were silly but have found in 2025: you dont need to go to the gym hours per week. 6 mins a day of prison work outs and diet discipline can get you good results if you have good jeans

Trying to get my fitness level up. Today got up to 206bpm while cycling, maybe cross 220 in September

8/21/2025 4:53:00 PM

I decided I've got nothing better to do, I'm gonna see if I can see my abs first time ever. Doing a slow cut prob til Thanksgiving, tbd if it "cuts" it and if my abs have enough muscle to be seen even with 0% fat. Doing weight training at same time but know it's hard to builder new muscle while cutting.

[Edited on August 25, 2025 at 11:46 PM. Reason : ^that feels aggressively high #NotADoctor]

8/25/2025 11:45:16 PM

Any shaker bottle recommendations?

^how is the abs thing going? Haven't been able to get up to 206bpm since unfortunately

Ended up getting a 20oz "BlenderBottle" off amazon



On sale at costco, limit 10(although last time I tried, you can go over the limit...unlike sams )

Anyone ever try egg whites? I've only ever had scrambled eggs with yokes

9/30/2025 8:31:28 PM

^^down 10 lbs since 8/1 but platau-ing a little. Not sure my ab muscles are built up enough to be visible without super low body fat, I'll prob keep trying until end of October then switch to bulk for the holidays and try again in the late winter/spring.

10/1/2025 9:18:57 AM

^^ you are going to need a mercury detox with all that!!

you might want to add some blood work like function health or ways to well. there maybe a local place.

10/1/2025 5:02:58 PM

I think mercury will be ok, its not not like tuna etc

10/1/2025 6:03:57 PM

4 ingredient whey protein pancakes. Surprisingly edible. Used this recipe.

10/1/2025 9:56:07 PM

I too, have been considering mail-order sardines.

Mix with salad or something like that. You'll thank me later.

10/1/2025 11:12:14 PM

I just can't get into a calorie deficit to save my life. Even when i'm eating healthy always feel hungry which leads to simply over eating healthy food

10/4/2025 4:03:00 PM

tirzepatide curbed my hunger and my desire for alcohol

10/5/2025 11:34:17 AM

^^being hungry is part of being in a calorie deficit...

Fill up on heavy but low cal things like broccoli

I hit a plateau so I had to drop my cap a little but I'm almost down 15.

10/5/2025 9:42:32 PM

^ugh, stuff like that makes me pee a lot cause i have to drink so much water to chase it down

My new project is working hip and ankle flexibility. I literally am physically unable to go into a deep squat. Searching so far they say I need to "open" my hips and i have "tight" ankles. Either heels come up, or if i go all the way down have to stand in like a sumo stance and have hands on ground to balance myself, and back way hunched over. Several videos i've seen so far on stretches to help with hips and ankles
