I’m getting fat

It’s a fact not a if... this year gained 20 lbs. but I’m still lifting heavy. Just need to tier down at some point. But other than being fatter, I don’t really have a catalyst to get me to go start my diet...

Oh well

I lost 10 pounds by wearing a nicotine patch. Suppresses appetite.

I’m fat enough my pants feel tight but not fat enough it bothers me

Suffered a life changing injury 6 years ago. I was very very active previously.

Medication messed my metabolism and I quickly gained 3 stone.

Recently decided to change things, I hit the gym focusing on cardio and dropped my calorie intake by a 1/4. Lost a stone in 4 weeks and now finding my balance point.

Personally i found it fairly easy, only challenge being when your counting calories you crave them far more.

I lost 20lbs earlier this year and I’ve gained back 10. I need to build up the motivation to get serious. Cut the extra snacks and alcohol. That does the trick.

I'd recommend getting a Peloton. I got one about a year and a half ago and have been down 15-20 pounds.

I think that’s great! Be happy...I hate going to the gym and what not. People are getting to obsessed with going to the gym...you’re healthy, are aware of it...relax and enjoy!

Not sure of the point of the post.....
Are you looking for help to find a catalyst?
Saying you’re good with where you are?
Looking for something?.....or just stating facts?

Dude, look at the meals you post!

I feel you cause I love to eat fine food and drink.

I'm 5'10" and weigh 195. Looking to get to 175. I do the treadmill every day at the gym - about 3.5 miles and 355 calories.

For me, it's portion control. Last night I made whole wheat penne with sauteed eggplant, tomatoes, onions, garlic, hot pepper flake and fresh basil at the end. Of course I ate like a pound of it and grated the obligatory block of fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano to make a kilo of coke sized mound on top

In the end, it'll be up to you. When you look in the mirror and are finally repulsed by what you see, you'll make the move That'll be the catalyst.

I started growing a pair of bitch titties and that was enough for me

Gotcha.....are you a younger man? Older wiser man?
Into sports of any kind? Hobbies besides watches? Have a body type you’d like to strive for?
I’d start there with the questions...

I’m middle age. No sports. No hobbies- TV. Medium build.... that’s the thing I don’t have a goal of a body type. I’m happy whether I’m fat or buffed.


I guess I need to find my WHY

I just realize I was getting fat lol

You haven’t seen the meals I haven’t posted lol. I don’t have time to do gym every day. I just go to the gym every saturday/sunday. I enjoy lifting heavy

I had sushi at Sakura last night

I don’t have boobs yet lol. I actually bench 2 plates each side. :)


Just getting fat.

Cut back on the carbs and try to eat real food, not packaged. Carbs make you hungry every 2 hours because of the insulin rollercoaster. Carbs immediately turn to sugar/glucose and glucose becomes stored body fat.

Body composition is 80% what you eat.

Good luck.

Walking outdoors is a great way to lose weight. Treadmills are rather boring and do not have the same resistance as walking. Get out there and enjoy the view; I live out in the farm lands of New Jersey (believe it or not) and it can satisfy all of the senses.

I enjoy walking but the new office is 5 mins from train vs 20. And office hours are from like 6:30 to like 7:30 so kind of tough to get any walking done.


I use to go to alstead farms to walk around with the fam. I really do enjoy walking.

I’ve actually kept my calls to around 2000 calls per day. Usually heavier on carbs these days

I heard in an advert that working out is only 20% while eating right is 80%. I don't know how true that is but it sounds good to me.

Sounds like you’re content being fat, if that is indeed what you are. I still can’t ascertain if you put on 29 pounds of fat, or just put on 20lbs. Just be careful not to let it spiral out of control. Don’t take your health for granted.

Couple things I question here then.
If you don’t have a goal or body type goal, and you’re HAPPY whether fat or buffed....
-what’s the reason for posting or finding your “why” ? Doesn’t seem like you need/want to
-if you just realized you’re getting fat...are you bothered by that?? Because you said you’re happy either way

Or am I way too deep into this and should just say....enjoy your happiness, glad you’re comfortable

I am not fat, but got sick of the pudgy belly, so a month ago I started running. It sucked, but I have kept at it and have started to see progress. I run every night now, even with a cracked rib. I never ate sugar much, but I also made a conscious effort to eat less crap at night too.

I'm shocked you could put on 20 pounds and wear the same clothes! I'm pretty sure if I put on 20, I'd require all new clothes except for shoes.

I would hate to put on 20 pounds, or even 10. I've been lucky to weigh the same for the last 20 or 25 years, but reduced food intake the last few years a bit. I love exercise, so I imagine my metabolism is high.

If you don't care, motivation is going to be tough until you put on enough weight to care.

Buy larger trousers.

Eat more ice cream. Your weight concern seems to be marginal, at best. Ice cream is the universal cure for all marginal concerns.
