The journey to good health.

I want to challenge all of dxpnet to post their current weight, and actually go on a journey to lose weight. Even if you are at a healthy weight, I challenge you to still work out and develop actual muscle mass. This is just an idea I think we all should precipitate in, and a place for everyone to post their progression. I think real progression works best when there is a bit of competition involved, and now is the perfect time to truly push yourself. If the world was to go completely downhill tomorrow, do you want to be out of breath, or at the very least able to run 5 km? Let's push ourselves to the max, and actually develop results.

I'm currently 115 kg, and want to be 90 kg by September. I think this is easily possible with around 40 minutes of light jogging/ exercise daily. Keep in mind I've done this before. A good diet with at least 40 minutes of exercise daily will make you lose a crazy amount of weight.

I weigh 138 pounds now but was 157 …. I’m

5’ 7”. I lost weight for health reasons. I walk

and dance and do yoga stretches daily.

Being aware of my love for food, its very easy for me to put on weight so i have to be careful of how much i eat.

- 110kg

August goal: 100kg

I believe we can get it. Little steps at a time. And bringing in nature is extremely good for a person's mental state. I would argue even limiting internet time is an extremely positive thing to add into your routine. The less internet the less stress, and the more time walking around in nature the more time you mind and body can truly reset.

I’ll work out with you if I can find someone to watch my child. If you want to lose weight and develop muscle mass, alternate between conditioning/weight training and cardio. Do conditioning or weight training m-w-f. Run tu-th-sa. Stretch both sides of the body equally before and after you work out.

Aren’t mom’s fit from child work Sanch?

Shhhh Ands shhhh I’m not fit at all. I could lose like 30 pounds. I’m scared of losing weight. What if I have excess skin? I’d have to get plastic surgery. I also really like having a phat ass. I need to find a guy who likes no thigh gap.

Just do a diet routine that is slow over time. You don't have to lose all the weight in month. Depending on how large you are, you could lose it in a few years and your skin will adapt slowly. Even if you are extremely large however, losing that weight and just living with the skin flaps should be a trophy to your success in weight loss imo. Sure the skin flaps are crazy, but it's much better then accepting being extremely overweight.

I don’t think I’m extremely large 🤣 I really don’t know. But yeah that’s what I’ve been told. To go slowly and walk a lot so the skin adapts.

Honestly you can be thick ( which I will always find attractive) but still workout and be attractive/ strong. I'm overweight af, but can still out work majority of skinny people in my workplace. I do have extra weight, but also have stamina simply from physical labor. Just imagine if we altered our diet a bit, and worked out regularly.

I'm at 177 lbs right now. 5'11".

Body fat is currently at 18% .

Not sure how much further I should go anyway. I'll look funny at 172.

At that point you simply start bulking out. It doesn't have to be anything insane. You are a healthy man imo. Adding some muscle mass to your body will not only make you look better, but also live longer. I feel you're a pretty physical guy in general, so I could be wrong. A bit more muscle never hurt anyone though.

I’ve a BMI of 21.6 but not sure how to measure body fat?

My physiotherapist advises me to eat a high protein diet to build up muscles so I’m

focusing on that at the moment

Idk ive not weighed myself recently but I think im 75kg as thats my usual weight, im pretty lean and im fit I walk up mountains all the time but I could cut down to 72kg easy. I've been thinking of buying a barbell tbh.

Damn I got 2 accurate scales and I can't remember the last time I stepped on either one of them. My weight is unhealthy at an astounding nearly 300 pounds the last time my weight has been checked. I might step on the scale sometimes today for the first time in almost over a year I'm kinda hopeful I've dropped some pounds. Just kinda hoping cus I don't want to lose too much cus then I'll look like a true martial alien from Mars. I do like to be big and stay big because my model has always been 'bigger is better'. But I can still afford to drop some pounds without looking like I'm from mars. The last time I checked my BMI it was somewhere around 30 percent or something to that effect. My water intake is well below average meaning I don't drink enough water. And my muscles is out of this world, I love it. I don't want to lose none of that that's why I'm too reluctant to lose weight. I'm scared my muscles will start turning in to flabs losing a lot of weight. I admit I'm lazy and don't like to exercise, that shit hurts. I wasn't near lazy in my prime when I used to workout every single day of the week without giving my body any recuperating time.

I'm 5'1 and 124 lbs now. BMI 23.4. I've gained 10 lbs a year over the past 2 years, partly from building muscle in a heavy-lifting work position but mostly because I started suffering from scary tachycardia and had to stop abusing caffeine and ephedrine to stay under 100lbs like I had for the preceding decade. My brother in law has a pull-up bar I intend to practice on and I need to get a jump rope and use that all the time like the Chippendales dudes do.

I find a good way to lose weight is to eat little and often rather than go too long and then over eat. That way you don’t feel too hungry and it’s also better for the digestion.

I was literally 300 pounds 2 years ago. I'm down to 250 now, but haven't really been exercising other then work, and my eating habits are abysmal. It makes physical labor extremely hard, but I'm still stronger and have more stamina then most people my size. The crazy part is back in 2020 I went crazy hard on dieting and exercise, and dropped all the way down to 210. That weight is pretty reasonable for my height and muscle mass. Then a friend invited me to a bar and I thought "I haven't drank for a year, surely I can have just one." That one single drink was literally the worst mistake I ever made in my entire life.

Yes, but it's extremely challenging. I was drinking about 20 shots a night for the last few years. Trying to adapt to just stopping is crazy hard. In 2019 I was also smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Somehow I managed to quit that habit cold turkey, and it was nothing compared to alcohol. Though till this day I still have random dreams I start smoking again, then I wake up and feel extremely thankful it was just a dream. I'll be honest if I had gotten into heroin or fentanyl back in my teens or 20s I'd probably have died long ago. Sometimes I actually wonder how I'm still alive now, or if I truly am alive and not in some drug related coma.

Hard to believe my weight dropped down to as low as 244 when my blood sugar level spiked in the 500s and up unfortunately it didn't stay that way for long cus when I finally got my blood sugar level under control that's when my weight picked right back up again so now my goal is to get back down to 250 and keep it at that. I was getting small when my weight dropped that low at 244. If I had before and after pics and compared them between 2002 and 2015 the transformation was just too incredible. I weighed 320 something pounds from 2002 up till I say around 2010 and from there my weight started to decrease gradually. Even when I first arrive on this site I was still in the 300 pound mark. If you see me now you probably won't believe I was ever that big. I don't ever and don't intend to get back up there again. It's hard to just breathe being that huge. Had sleep apnea and everything.

I was literally 300 pounds 2 years ago. I'm down to 250 now, but haven't really been exercising other then work, and my eating habits are abysmal. It makes physical labor extremely hard, but I'm still stronger and have more stamina then most people my size. The crazy part is back in 2020 I went crazy hard on dieting and exercise, and dropped all the way down to 210. That weight is pretty reasonable for my height and muscle mass. Then a friend invited me to a bar and I thought "I haven't drank for a year, surely I can have just one." That one single drink was literally the worst mistake I ever made in my entire life.

Are you able to cut down on the drinking now?
click to expand

Yes, but it's extremely challenging. I was drinking about 20 shots a night for the last few years. Trying to adapt to just stopping is crazy hard. In 2019 I was also smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Somehow I managed to quit that habit cold turkey, and it was nothing compared to alcohol. Though till this day I still have random dreams I start smoking again, then I wake up and feel extremely thankful it was just a dream. I'll be honest if I had gotten into heroin or fentanyl back in my teens or 20s I'd probably have died long ago. Sometimes I actually wonder how I'm still alive now, or if I truly am alive and not in some drug related coma.

Wow Soul, your body must be very resilient, 20 shots a night is sublime. How did you manage to work?

Damn I got 2 accurate scales and I can't remember the last time I stepped on either one of them. My weight is unhealthy at an astounding nearly 300 pounds the last time my weight has been checked. I might step on the scale sometimes today for the first time in almost over a year I'm kinda hopeful I've dropped some pounds. Just kinda hoping cus I don't want to lose too much cus then I'll look like a true martial alien from Mars. I do like to be big and stay big because my model has always been 'bigger is better'. But I can still afford to drop some pounds without looking like I'm from mars. The last time I checked my BMI it was somewhere around 30 percent or something to that effect. My water intake is well below average meaning I don't drink enough water. And my muscles is out of this world, I love it.

Unfortunately no, and I probably won't. I'm not saying AA is bad, but there is nothing they can tell me I already don't know. Awards, prizes, speeches, friends, people to call upon when needed, none of that will ever fix me. The reality is I could hear all the right information in the world, but I on a deep spiritual level is the only one that can truly change me. For me alcoholism is truly like an illness. Like I can easily quit, go through the withdrawal, so months sober, then randomly a switch flips in my head, and lose control. I can always feel when it's about to happen too. Kind of like a seizure, or even sleep paralysis where I lose all control. That right there is what needs fixed. To develop the ability to not let the addict side of me take over. People don't realize an addict is two people. The sober one, and the addicted one. Staying sober and taking over when that switch is flipped is the challenge, and there isn't a single person on the face of this earth that can truly fix that except me.

I’ll work out with you if I can find someone to watch my child. If you want to lose weight and develop muscle mass, alternate between conditioning/weight training and cardio. Do conditioning or weight training m-w-f. Run tu-th-sa. Stretch both sides of the body equally before and after you work out.

Aren’t mom’s fit from child work Sanch?

Shhhh Ands shhhh I’m not fit at all. I could lose like 30 pounds. I’m scared of losing weight. What if I have excess skin? I’d have to get plastic surgery. I also really like having a phat ass. I need to find a guy who likes no thigh gap.

It's been truly been fun, good and bad. I've always been an all or nothing type of person. Like with hobbies and work I always went all in. I can develop skills faster then most because I feel true passion in the things I enjoy. When it comes to negative things however, it's also the same. Maybe there truly is something in-between joy and pain I haven't found yet. I'm either going to help myself off the ground and do better, or ride this thing to the bitter end. Either way life for me will be an interesting experience. I type this while also in my bedroom feeding 27 turantula during a thunderstorm mind you. For me the experience and oddities of it all lets me relate to the people in this world better.

Feeding and the storm is done, but that was truly a vibe 😆. I'm not even trying to be edgy. I was thinking "Damn, I'm here going through my entire life mentally, while feeding my turantula with thunder in the background." Villain arc activated? Jk, I'll never be the villain in this lifetime unless it's me attacking myself tbh. I also want to add my pet turantula are actually extremely therapeutic for me. I know it sounds crazy, but is truly one of the best stress releases I've ever experienced. Also the creative aspect of making and decorating their individual enclosures is a hobby all by itself.

I'm at 177 lbs right now. 5'11".
Body fat is currently at 18% .
Not sure how much further I should go anyway. I'll look funny at 172.

What did you use to measure bf? I’m at 19% same height but I’m 204. I have that omron device you hold up. Maybe it’s innacurate and you got a dexa scan 🤷‍♂️

click to expand

Pretty much all of these methods are inaccurate, the at-home methods.

The only way to really know is to go to a doctor and have them do it hydrostatically or use that DEXA system that you were talking about. But it does cost money and you can't go every other day because insurance won't cover it.

In the meantime, I use a hand-held scanner at the gym, it's only off about 8% usually from what the doctor showed. So I just extrapolate.

I am trying to drink more water …. Target is 2L. I like sparkling with lemon.

I’ve also given up caffeine, dairy and gluten and hoping to knock sugar on its arse 😃

Just wanted to give you a heads up👍

Some days are much easier then others, but overall I've been doing well. I've learned how to deal with deep rooted anxiety, which sneaks up in me time to time. Those moments would be the times I'd relapse, but I've learned to just hold it out and let them pass. Dealing with moments of anxiety while sober is much easier then drinking alcohol the moment my eyes would open to the moment I'd black out. Then wake up the next day feeling like absolute shit and reaching for a bottle to cure the exact illness the same bottle created in the first place. Things like exercise help a ton also. For me it's hard to get lost in thoughts or anxiety if I'm working, or exercising. It's kind of funny to admit, but I've also been praying to the idea of God. I don't really consider myself religious quite yet, but I've been putting my hands together and thanking God for giving me the opportunity to wake up, and to continue learning and growing stronger. I'm not even sure how or why I'm doing this. It kind of just happened one day, and felt pretty good/ natural to pray.

I'm not even sure how or why I'm doing this. It kind of just happened one day, and felt pretty good/ natural to pray.

Well done you for being so strong. It sounds like you have experienced an epiphany ✨

Faith isn’t synonymous with religion and you may find its life altering. I live on a prayer.

I met two nuns at a workshop a while back who said i was ”the most religious person we’ve ever met”. When i told them i never go to Church, they looked surprised.

Keep praying Soul, even when times are good, i believe gratitude is everything.

I love this quote ~

”Religion is for those who are scared of going to hell

Spirituality is for those who have been there”

✨🙏✨

Thyme is excellent for bronchial probs. You can drink it as a tea or even chew the dried herb. Garlic, honey and lemon help too. I’d a sinus prob / sore chest for weeks and took thyme and inhaled peppermint and eucalyptus from a tissue and it’s a lot better now. You may want to take vit C, D3/K2 and zinc daily. I swear by them!

didn't know that about thyme coz i usually use ginger, will try that out

i tend to use a menthol inhaler that doesn't do much for me anymore except dry me out

will try the garlic-lemon-honey combo too coz most of the time i just squeeze some lime juice over some warm water to drink in the mornings

Can’t quote

I find this very good as a tea or on berries and yogurt and it’s very tasty which helps

I don’t think you should be bragging on DXP

Who?

Im 79.9 kg, so I think I have put on about 3kg. Its probably mostly fat but thats fine since there is some muscle and since my cardio has gone way down with the days getting shorter and with work being hectic.

I've been doing the one meal per day (OMPD) thing for over a week. I'm a vegetarian. I'm 6' and should weigh around 175-180 lbs. But fattened up to 205-210 lbs in the last 1.5 years. No more creamers, chips, and candy. Just one healthy meal a day and maybe a piece of fruit here and there. An occasional social extra meal is fine.

Black coffee and straight green/black tea - no sweeteners. I haven't really been hungry. My mind is clearer and I have more energy. This is easy. My body has adapted quickly. Exercising/energizing the body is coming. But I'm losing weight without exercising. I'll just keep on for a few months and see where I am at. I don't weigh myself.

Why I like OMPD. It simplifies my eating - I know when to eat else I'm not eating. Since I only get one meal, I plan it out and make it healthy. My food shopping has reduced. My metabolism has slowed down - I don't need to shave as much (weird). I feel more balanced. The body no longer has to waste a lot of energy digesting food. My Spiritual practices have deepened. Maybe my meditational practices will deepen even more, and I can get God to feed me directly (living off prana). This probably isn't as far away as I think it is.

I vow to try to reduce calories a lot


The 2 most successful strippers where I work are very thin


Got a first session of a coverup on my ribcage yesterday and the artist butchered it. I let him follow his vision hoping for the best and he added thick black squiggles going all down my side and a FUCKING BEARD on my female silhouette that my old artist was in the middle of tattooing. None of his lines enhanced the work I walked in with at all, and I thought it looked like shit to begin with. I'm seriously considering tattoo removal now. I could've lived w a fucky tattoo, but now I'm making money to look good. I feel horrible. Least I can do is drop 20-30 lbs


My next session is in 2 weeks, I'll give him another shot to fix it but my hopes aren't high. If the first draft looks like ass, later drafts usually don't get much better. Red flag #1 he had 2 weeks to plan his design but then waited an hr and a half to start tattooing me to "keep planning" red flag #2 he's an obese hairy dude. He was a smooth talker so I trusted him, but his other work I saw displayed looked ritarded too. Just like ugly old karen-haircut hairdressers, you don't want to trust your body mods with someone who keeps themselves sloppy

Grow your butt with hip thrusts 🤤
