So Ive been hanging around 190 for the last, oh, month or so. I eat better, no loss. I eat worse, no gain.
I guess this is my plateau?
Now that the weather is better I am going to start walking. However I have mobility issues. So I am going to give it a try and hope for the best. I guess I will start with a half a mile on Monday
How'd it go?
Make sure to buy yourself good supportive shoes. My god walking consistently can be hard on your joints if you don't have supportive shoes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB74X92vCacDr Mike is great. He's one of my favorite fitness nerds. His advice is often a little boring because it's mostly well established studies and stuff, but he's really good in these types of videos.
Pretty good video from one of the best fitness youtubers out there, Renaissance Periodization, on dieting. Has a lot of good tips and tricks in there that aren't based in a bunch of fads.

Just weighed in. Down 10lbs in 9 weeks. This is probably the most healthy pace for a cut that I've ever done. I'm not really doing it to prepare for anything, which helps a lot. For my build, this is still a really solid pace though.
Just walked a mile. Now that summer is over I plan to do this every weekend day.
Good job!
I would also recommend getting some dumbbells. I have some 8 pounders. Even if I'm feeling kinda lazy, I can sit there and watch TV while I lift some weights. Every little bit counts
I have bands and dumbbells I just stop using. I think I will start using my bans again since I have no clue where my dumbbells are. But would that help us lose weight ?
If you aren't going HEAVY into building muscle, lifting weights consistently helps you drop body fat for sure. You will notice maybe you aren't dropping weight as much, but you will lose inches
Today I had a footlong subway sub, and a slice of cake, anywhere around 1100-1200 calories
I went to the gym and burned about 300
Im definitely thinking about starving myself a little. I legit plateu'd in my 240s for an actual month. Only today did i finally break down into my 230s
I know I did it the other day, but Jazz is 100 % correct. Starving ourselves is not the day to go. The thing with weight lost is making sure to keep it off. It will be harder to keep doing what we do if just go right to starving ourselves. But if you do go that rout, please do it in safe manner .Exactly
It's what the number is made of that's important.
Ive been doing intermittent fasting for years now, and Ive went down from about 237 to 188-190 with clothes on. With clothes off, its more between 182-184.How tall are you? 150 seems below average, isn't it?
I eat a grilled cheese for lunch most days, occasionally a couple of soft tacos at a local Mexican place, and occasionally a cheeseburger I fry myself as we typically buy 8 for burger night and fix 7.
For supper I basically eat whatever, though there are certain things I try to avoid altogether or not have very often.
I need to lose another 30 pounds at least Id say, as I was always a skinny twig growing up until my metabolism fell off a cliff.

I'll echo the question above, how tall are you? Maybe 15-20ish should be a more reasonable goal to go for. Also if you're still using butter to make your grilled cheese, you might want to try out using olive oil mayo instead. It's healthier and it has the added benefit of giving a really nice crisp to the sandwich.510. By the BMI I ought to weigh 156 plus how ever much muscle weight Ive put on by working out, but I was always so skinny I think Ill probably need to weigh less than 156 muscle included.
Cool everyone is getting into things.If your plan is to swim for exercise you're going to need a decent sized pool, and they're so much work man lol also expensive upkeep. I'd recommend an exercise bike and some adjustable dumbbells (all this will run you like $200 from Walmart and it will last for years) if a pool is out of the question.
I know this might sound like I am doing too much. But I want to get swimming pool so I can swim. Walking hurt my joints . And I am way too lazy to go 30 mins to the nearest pool. I am posting this before I look into how much they cost lol.

See I mobility issues. So I was thinking about a pool to help with the joints. Since most other stuff hurts. I did a mile on Saturday and tried again on Sunday and my hips were just not having it .

Not every issue can be solved with the right exercise but you might be surprised at how much it can help. For example, some of your mobility issues could have been caused by improper posture which can be corrected over time. If your knees are bad, it could be due to the way you walk (how are your hips, do you walk on the instep of your feet, etc.) It all trickles down.
