DonHo-kieHi
Lifetime

I’m down to 195 now and dropped my cruise and booze weight plus a few. But

I’ve lost muscle because of all the volunteer work in the community garden which is exercise but not like weights, rowing, and bike. Headed to Palm Springs Friday till March or April. No responsibilities there so working out, riding and improving my golf game are priorities. Wifey is doing a half marathon in Joshua Tree on night of Nov 1. I asked my knees if they wanted to go too and they said “ not NO…. HELL NO!

Don't stop taking creatine!
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 11:29 AM ET
Creatine has been a huge game changer for me
Happy Dog • 10/23/25 04:54 AM ET
Lots of good articles in and around that. Thanks. **

I'm at 192 myself. Ideally I'd like to be between 180 and 185.

That fear is the biggest governor on my activity

My current "guilty pleasure" snack is sweet potato chips
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 10:48 AM ET
Costco for the win! Nice sized bag, too. **

It’s those big ass bags that get you a …. Big ass.**

I bought that on a whim, but found that I really like it.
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 11:20 AM ET
Chocolate has always been my downfall, even sugar-free**
Happy Dog • 10/22/25 10:57 AM ET
I like it too...preferably milk chocolate.
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 11:14 AM ET
Remember the biggest factor in weight loss is diet.
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 10:13 AM ET
True, but I already eat a fairly low-carb diet compared to most folks.
MP4VT2004 • 10/22/25 10:23 AM ET
Swap that salad for a grilled steak, pork chop or salmon fillet. :)
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 10:37 AM ET
Oh I definitely have done the very low carb diet before.
MP4VT2004 • 10/22/25 10:56 AM ET

Haha yeah it is definitely jarring to see someone who has...
MP4VT2004 • 10/22/25 11:19 AM ET
I definitely look different, and I'm not finished.
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 11:24 AM ET
If you want to continue eating salads, try Primal Kitchen salad dressings.**
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 10:42 AM ET
If I had to eat salmon, I'd lose weight fast.....because it would be a fast
Happy Dog • 10/22/25 10:42 AM ET
I hated canned salmon when I was a kid
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 10:44 AM ET
Boy, it's that the truth! LOL! Congrats on your weight loss!
EDGEMAN • 10/22/25 08:47 AM ET
What do you use to measure it?**
WestyHokie • 10/22/25 08:11 AM ET

Beerman • 10/22/25 09:29 AM ET
I use a Hume "smart scale."
