Prince of Fatness

    I had a few to catch up on but it should be up to date.  If I missed any please just repost and I will get them.  Thanks.

    Not at it at all. 

      . And yes, Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper chips are very yummy. Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper pretzels are also quite tasty.

          Can I just giggle at the fat people?

           Yes. Please do. Heckling is welcome here.

           

          So, I am the third fattest in this thread, and if I make my goal weight this month I will be... third fattest. Huh. That is laughable.

              I try not to limit myself like that.

                 Funny, though. 5 years ago today, I was lighter than any of those numbers up there, save tea olive. And the fitness and race times followed. Or led. Whatever. Funny, because I thought, I wished I could be 139 and stay healthy, because maybe that would be faster.

                  Well there is "too light", any time I get under 145 for more than a few weeks I end up over-trained.  Enough that it does not seem a coincidence.

                   

                  But that has been many years....more than 5....

                    Hey now, just because DB and I are heavier, doesn't mean we are fatter. I don't see BF percentage listed anywhere on the chart......fattySmile

                      Just stored up energy ... Yes I am fat.

                       

                      I was 200-205 when I set my PRs - I have lost 15-20# of upper body muscle (On purpose - quit lifting weights) I should be able to weigh 180-185 and be at a similar body fat level.  Yet my GD body and mind seem stuck on a floor of 200#.  Every time I get a bit under weight loss grinds to a halt and I get really hungry.  Maybe it is because I have not been much under since 1988-89.

                       

                      I know I have all these stored up potential PRs at 180-185# even at age 43 - I got get after it!

                            Funny...That's exactly what I was eating when I made that post.

                              I do awesome until the weekend hits, then I stuff my face and exercise very little, especially Sundays.

                                I believe in the idea that our bodies have set points in which it tries to keep itself. As I gained weight, it seemed I could eat whatever I wanted, exercise very little and I could hoover at a certain weight for awhile. Then it seemed 5-10 pounds would go on overnight and stay that way again for a long time. As I started to lose weight, it came off very slowly, then all of a sudden I'd drop alot quickly, then it was stall out again right around the weight I had where it seemed to stay when I was gaining. One of the set points for me was 200-205 and guess where I am right now?

                                 

                                I also feel that about 175-180 would be a great racing weight for me with lots of PR's and hopefully a few podiums thrown in there.
