Been spending a lot of time hacking health. Spent a year dropping a lot of weight (I don’t track numbers, but likely somewhere in the 90lb range) and lifting weights.
At age 50 it feel good… real good.

Congrats!
I keep on trying to get moving on this myself, there's about 30lb I'd love to see gone. Just have not been able to get the exercise habit started up again.
Sigh I am lucky.
I lost the weight simply by eating healthy, no real exercise.
After I dropped the pounds then I looked at me and said… “self, this still ain’t cuttin’ it!”
Now I have to find room for my home gym while not angering the missus.
@thegibson @anthracite there’s pretty good evidence that exercise doesn’t do much for weight loss. A bunch of other benefits, and being fit is much better for maintaining weight, but yeah: for *losing* weight it seems diet is by far the biggest factor and everything else is a bit of a drop in the bucket.
@anthracite the other side of that is… that’s just how bad my normal habits are I guess. :)
@thegibson Good to hear that, man.
@thegibson hell yeah dude! I am clocking in at -26lb right now, same vibe. One day i'll catch up!
@voltur keep going!
You’ll thank yourself before you know it.
I am largely trying to maintain now, if I get below 220 I start lookin’ funny.
