Formerly fat redditors, how did you lose weight?
Formerly fat redditors, how did you lose weight?I'm overweight but not yet obese and I want to change my lifestyle and habits instead of getting fatter. I have no idea how to lose weight/get in shape. submitted by /u/bobby19jones [link] [comments]
I'm dieting at a 500kcal deficit and get the results I am expecting, So yesterday I had burgers and a surplus of ca. 1500kcal and at today's weigh in, I was 4lb heavier. How come?
I'm dieting at a 500kcal deficit and get the results I am expecting, So yesterday I had burgers and a surplus of ca. 1500kcal and at today's weigh in, I was 4lb heavier. How come?Not sure if it's important, but it was yesterday evening and I've been to the bathroom this morning before weighing in (same conditions as every week) submitted by /u/whatwordtouse [link] [comments]
You know how stuff like garden work and cleaning are often spoken of as good ways to be active? My silly problem is that I live in a small apartment with very little need for such things so I just sit on my couch while at home. Does anyone else have the same problem?
You know how stuff like garden work and cleaning are often spoken of as good ways to be active? My silly problem is that I live in a small apartment with very little need for such things so I just sit on my couch while at home. Does anyone else have the same problem?I try to go to the gym three times a week and I walk everywhere (most days at least 8 km), but it kind of bothers me how much I just sit around when I'm at home. Also, since I study at a university, most of my days also consist of sitting at a desk. Here in Finland we have the word "hyötyliikunta" (my not very good translation: moving for a purpose) for everyday things you do that aren't actually exercise but keep you active, and things like raking leaves and cleaning are often classified as hyötyliikunta and encouraged to keep you active. And I'd really like to do stuff that keeps me active while I'm doing something purposeful, but since I live in a small apartment with just a balcony and no yard there is very little for me to do that requires any activity. Is anyone else living in similar conditions bothered by this? Sometimes it would be nice to do something that's useful in another way than just getting me in better shape, but I have no idea what I'd do. I thought about looking for people who need someone to do some garden work for them because it would be nice and a good way to earn some extra money, but Finland isn't exactly a place where you can just go knocking on people's doors to ask. Does anyone have any ideas? submitted by /u/illusias [link] [comments]
From out of shape drunk to complete gym addict in 2 months.
From out of shape drunk to complete gym addict in 2 months.Two and a half months ago I was a terrible drunk. I drank at least a 12 pack a night, and usually had some whiskey to go along with it. I was nice enough, (not raging out at my family or anything), but I just wasn't really present for my kids or wife. I didn't care about my health, I ate whatever, I drank excessively, and aside from my work (carpentry), I got no exercise whatsoever. Then, one day, I was driving to the liquor store to grab whiskey when I just had a thought. Join a gym. Take the 60 you are about to spend on whiskey, and go get a membership. So I did. I haven't had a drop of alcohol since. I started slow, going every few days. Then every other day. Then two days on two days off. Then, I met with a nutritionist and personal trainer and have become a full blown addict. I go to the gym for an hour and a half (at least) six days a week. I plan my meals ahead. I weigh my food. I've never felt better in my life. I have cut down from 200 to 170 in less than three months. It's not the most dramatic transformation you will see today, but I'm just so proud of myself and wanted to share. Thanks for listening! http://imgur.com/DuPY5ZP submitted by /u/level1biscuit [link] [comments]
43 male raising a special needs kid
43 male raising a special needs kidI am looking to build my core to protect my back . I am 6'9' 260 with a weak core and I've had spinal fusion in upper back about four years ago. My daughter is 7 years old and about 50 lbs. She requires 24 hour care. She has althetiod cerebral palsy with dystonia. So she has a lot of uncontrolled movement and writhing. I would like to take care of her as long as possible. I have to lift her multiple times a day. She does not have the ability to assist actually her non stop moving puts a lot of strain on my back. The day to day grind takes most of my energy and motivation. I have back pain in general from being to big for the world around me. I'm hoping to find a routine that I can do at home. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/newbornjaundice [link] [comments]
Plateaued on Bench
Plateaued on BenchWhat are some exercises I can do to help up my bench? I bench twice a week doing PPL (6 days a week) and I have been stuck on 135 for weeks now. Some days, I kill pretty much all my 5x5 sets and reps (maybe halfass the last rep of the last set or two) and some days, I can't even hit 4 reps on my last 4 or 5 sets. What do I do? submitted by /u/MarkBekker [link] [comments]
Casual Lifter making gains, but running into some trouble with legs
Casual Lifter making gains, but running into some trouble with legsFor context, I'm a dude on the skinnier side. I've just started at university, and every one of my classes is on the third floor of its building. I take the stairs, and do so relatively quickly (and with a heavy backpack as well, of course)...Here's my problem Every time I try to do my squats, my legs are burning after one. I'm doing them with no weight, I'm just so worn out from hauling ass up and down stairs all week. Should I lay off squats until I get used to it? Possibly take the elevator? Thanks. submitted by /u/TheVvote [link] [comments]
