Weight Loss or Weight Gain Thread "2012"



Recent studies indicate that I now fit in all of my pants that I grew out of in 2006.

Further research shows a strong correlation with being a pack-rat.
 
Replaced most of my wardrobe in the past three months. Shrank from a 44 to a 36.

I'm having the great American Eagle/Aero/Af/Hollister t-shirt debate right now, which usually only teenagers have. Currently, AE and Aero are winning by a mile, with Pacsun a distant third, because Abercrombie doesn't make stuff in unathletic size. (I still wear a 2XL shirt due to broad shoulders).
 
When I get bored at the mall, I go to those stores and ask them to find me a jacket. Last time I did that, my forearms got stuck in the sleeves of their largest jacket.
Congrats on the size drop!

Completely agree on the patches. I used to be a smoker as well and the only way I could kick the habit was to bite the bullet and shell out the cash for the nicoderm patches. Follow their quit plan exactly and don't stop early like Juan said. There's 3 kinds of patches step 1, 2, and 3. Each step slowly cuts down on the amount of nicotine.
Click to expand...

I quit 2 years ago and the patches helped me cause cigs weren't available, You could actually feel the nicotine enter your body like a cigarette. Quitting for me was one of the hardest things I ever did and I don't know how anyone else does it to be honest lol.. I was up to two packs a day however (those nasty senecas). I went through a couple fazes and smoked here and there one or two times.. Even enjoyed a couple cigarette butts in my bros ash tray, then chain smoked like half a pack and nothing else.

I gained 50lbs and kept the weight on till now.. I lost ten of those pounds so far. :th_thumbsup-wink:

Mike
230lbs
I have a planet fitness membership I signed up for like six months ago and used the first two days and haven't returned lol! I'm gonna try and hit it up asap and lose more of this weight.

Edit: I thought I was replying to a post that was from today LOL guess I'm 3 years off but on the right day atleast.

Show up as soon as you can and keep showing up.

And while we're on that, I'm sure the NYR folks ought to show up soon enough.

"One of the most virulent and offensive exhibitions of this "I suck and can't help it" mentality is the practice of setting a New Year's resolution. In setting a NYR, you're doing a couple of things, all of which are about as cool as those grown men who brag about watching My Little Pony and write fan fiction for the show. First, you're announcing to the world that you've identified a fault within yourself and refused to resolve it. Second, you've decided to procrastinate on even pretending to resolve the issue until an arbitrary date. Third, you're making a hell of a lot of noise about nothing, since only about 12% of people who make New Years Resolutions enjoy anything resembling success. It's a ****ing embarrassment of fat, drunken David Hasselhoff with a hamburger proportions. If you think you suck, ****ing stop sucking immediately. Women, I'm pointing at you and your mother****ing diets- there's no goddamned time like the present. Stop putting **** off until tomorrow like you're a modern day J. Wellington Wimpy, who is perhaps the cartoon character most deserving of a curb stomp in history." -Jamie Lewis

I think weightloss is actually going to stall for me until January... I don' think I can squeeze off any more fat without tightening my diet up even more, which I'm feeling too lazy to get at with the million things I've got going on in December.

Progress:
April: Stopped squatting from knee pain.
July: Started cutting while deadlifting heavy 3-4x/week. Deadlift max = 545.
November: Bodyweight down 35lbs, deadlift max still = 545. Sumo deadlift is shaky at 315.
December: Bodyweight stable. Sumo deadlift up to 455.

First night back to front squatting in like 8 months, since I'm hoping it doesn't irritate my knees like back squats... 7x7 @ 95lbs. Difficult. Guess that'll be a long road, too.
 
I havent squatted since july from this sciatic nerve. Its been about 2 weeks into legs right now, actually leg pressed 6 plates on each side, weird I know since last month I couldnt do 1 on each side. Hope to jump back into squats tmw, 225 is gonna be hard these dam legs got so small its a joke. Still have the usual "hip joint" tweek now and then alone with sore knees. All a game baby and I am here to play. Still maintained my 230-235 frame though, just need to get over this dam 2k-2500k calorie ****, so tired and lazy
 


245x5 squat on wedneday, prob could done 275 if I squeezed my ball sack.

405x5 rack pull, wasnt to bad.

As long as the nerve thing doesnt come back I should be on the roll to being normal again
 
At the suggestion of another decent deadlifter at my gym, I gave rack pulls a try recently. Murdered me. Guess we figured out why my lockout is awful. I've got a hard time scheduling them for workouts since they're sure to half-cripple me and make my sciatica scream.
 
You see this bull**** patch on tongue on 20/20. Put a fcking patch sown onto your tongue for 30days so it causes you pain to eat solid food thus losing weight! You got to be kidding me.

It also dawned on me the new years losers will be comming in soon..kill me

It ... it what?

In other news, I packed 10lbs on my deadlift after dropping 40lbs of bodyweight in six months... worse things have happened.
 


Amazing. $2000 to starve yourself. It's ironic. "The most common correlation mentioned between fatness and anything else is poverty. Fat people and leftists love to claim that obesity is the result of poverty, and use a variety of studies to illustrate the correlation. If you're thinking to yourself that this makes no sense, you're right, but they confuse correlation for causation because they're stupid and lazy, and they seem to think that all poor people are so ****ing dumb they don't know what food is bad for them and what's not." -Jamie Lewis
 
Starting to get back into eating better and working out again. Just spent 25 days straight in the hospital/inpatient therapy due to an autoimmune disease flaking away the coating on the nerves in my lower back and brain. Have had to completely relearn to walk and do everything over again. First day back in the gym today. Had to go slow but felt great.
